Alman, thanks so much for what you did find. He came with the McGee's and apparently was set free with statehood of California as best I can figure. He was a farmer there in Snelling for many years. Simon and Chalotte are found in census then vanish. So don't know if they passed or moved on but have not been able to locate them. I only assume the women listed as McGee were his daughters, but who knows. They were not listed in the obit so guess may never know. If you find anything else on Simon McGee or wife Charlotte, please let me know.
