Identified as William Bee, age 74y 2m 29d, married, common laborer, b. May 10 1844 in Doddridge Co, son of Acy Bee (b. in N. J.) & (mother not known); died Jul 9 1918 at Palmer, Braxton Co, WV, cause of death dropsy of the heart, burial at Orlando, WV. Informant: John Bee, Palmer WV. (Note: The relationship of John Bee to William is not indicated, but is most likely his son. There are two minor discrepancies in the death record. It is known from his marriage record and census records that William Bee was born in Harrison County, but resided in Doddridge County from an early age. Also, the informant apparently confused the birthplace of William's father Asa with that of his grandfather, Jonathan. The latter was born in New Jersey, married in Harrison County in 1817, and Asa was born soon thereafter.) (4) 1880 Census, Doddridge County, WV (Central District) (5) 1900 Census, Braxton County, WV.
