CLIENT CASE:GETTING PAST THE BRICK WALL FOR THE MAGEE FAMILY HERES A SUMMARY OF MY WORK I DID FOR THEM!
The summary on the Magee family in finding the owners of the family before 1870, from looking throughout census records it appears the family could have been owned by a man named John C. Dodds of Copiah County Mississippi, I have a high confidence he was the one owning the family in 1860. Addaline Dodds was the mother of the Magees, Napoleon Magee was born in 1854, Alleck Magee was born in 1856, Allin Magee was born in 1858, I must note the birth dates of each individual are just an estimate I'm very confident that the men were born in the 1850s or possibly late 1840s, Adaline had a total of 9 children her birth date is estimated to be around in the 1820s. Adaline appears in 2 different 1880 federal census records so do some of the other member's of the family. looking and analyzing both records shows she went by 2 surnames Magee, and Dodds, in one census she is in the household with her grandson Archer Lee in Copiah County. She is listed as Addaline Magee, 3 of her sons and one of her daughters is living nearby as well. which confirms that it is the correct person, then in the other census she is listed as Adaline Dodds and is living a couple of doors down from Archer Lee her grandson she is listed as a widow on both 1880 federal census records, and her children are living near her on both census records, the family seems to have resided in the Copiah county area for decades. looking and discovering an 1874 newspaper article of Napoleon Magee being injured in a sawmill explosion, he was working for a Man named John F. Enotchs of Copiah County Mississippi. it stated in the newspaper that the sawmill was owned by him, I must note as well that the Magee family had been living near families with the surname enotchs throughout the years starting from 1880 all the way to 1900. that puts a hint there could be a possible connection somehow between the families. how Adaline was discovered in the 1870 census was following back the enotchs family to 1870, then seeing Adaline in that area. shes in Copiah County in 1870 as Adaline Dodds She was In the household with her two sons Napoleon and Alex and daughter Henrietta, there's no other family in that area with the surname Dodds besides a white man John C. Dodds, who was born in 1818 in South Carolina he was a Physician in the Copiah county area, digging into his background looking in the 1860 federal slave schedules, he owned 8 slaves. him and his brother Samuel Dodds were the only two men with the surname Dodds who owned slaves in that area during that time,  it is still unknown who was the father to adalines children, it is unknown the names of all her other children as well, John.C Dodds seemed To be owning a family of 8 slaves in 1860, this is most likely Addaline and her family,  Due to slaves not being on census record by name it can be very hard to determine. but piecing  all of it together shows she and her family stayed around Copiah County after Emancipation, I concluded that the father of the children could have died before 1870, or a possible chance he was not known,-this is what I have found in my research
