Magee, Samuel, the oldest son of James Magee, sr., settled four miles up the river from Tidioute, at the mouth of Magee Run, about the year 1821. He married Anna Allender, and they had a family of eight children born unto them. He was the first justice of the peace in Deerfield township. Two of his sons, Joseph Magee and [James] Perry Magee, were prominent men in their day, but have passed away.[1]

On Monday afternoon of August 30, 1859, a man came riding a roan horse across the hills and through the woods from Titusville to Tidioute. He had wonderful news for the little town on the Allegheny, news that was to ultimately make tremendous history in the whole region. William H. Henderson of Titusville had ridden over to Tidioute to tell his friends that Drake had struck oil in his well the day before, and all the countryside was already flocking to the spot to see the world's first oil well.
The first man hailed by the rider as he came down the street was Justice of the Peace R. H. Morrison who stood in his shirtsleeves on the plank sidewalk in front of a small store talking with Joseph and [James] Perry McGee...[2]

James Perry was born "near Cobham, Warren Co., Pa., 1813, died 5/9/1862, Abscess*."[3] He married Susan W. Connely, 1838.[4]
