Jonas William Kee

Jonas William Kee was born in Maryland, July 14th, 1839, to Phillip Kee and Nancy Stout.[1][2] He was not recorded in a federal census until 1850. At the time, he was 12 years old and worked as a laborer in William N. Thanine’s home, located in the 8th District of Frederick, Maryland. The census labeled his race as mulatto, but later censuses and military records record him as black.
