John Lind McAtee (1841-1904) was born to William Brady and Anna A. (née Boyd) McAtee near Smithsburg, Maryland, on June 25, 1841.[a] John's grandfather was Thomas McAtee who had served in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, along with his three brothers. Their ancestors had emigrated to Maryland from Ireland in 1640. His grandmother, Jane Brady McAtee, was a cousin of William Henry Harrison, who became President of the United States of America. The McAtees settled near Port Colony and, along with three other families, built the first Roman Catholic Church there.[1]
