[Surname] Re: surname -- Ishee
in reply to a message by Mary Ishee Strickland
Hi Mary,
This is a very interesting post and matches almost exactly with the family history I have gleaned over the years. I am a direct descendant of Jacob Barr Ishee. I have produced a couple of videos on YouTube under the title of "Ishee Family History" that you may find to be of interest. I am also now in the process of researching a novella I am writing on the journey the Ishee family took from Oberpipp to Mississippi. Tentative title is "Two Sacks: The Journey of the Ishee Family to America." It will be an "historical fiction" telling a story based on the facts we have learned over the years. Anyway, I am glad to meet you and hope we can share info in the future. Regards, Jeff Ishee in Mount Sidney, Virginia.

Hello! My grandmother was an Ishee. Born, raised, and lived her entire life in Louin, Mississippi…I grew up right there too. She had 5 brothers and sisters. She grew up in the first home built there. She recently passed away and only has two living siblings left. I have been trying to learn more about her family history. Jacob Barr Ishee is her direct line. He is buried in Louin cemetery.
