McKeen Green McCall, son of Robert and Mary Lanier McCall, was born in Bulloch County, Georgia on 11 July 1806. Chloe Ann Folsom was born 7 May 1830 in Lowndes County, Georgia, to Pennywell Folsom and Mary Ann McLeod.
In 1829, McKeen moved with his parents to Lowndes County where he taught in the Lowndes Co. schools for a number of years. It was while teaching that he met a student, Chloe Folsom, who became his wife on Jan. 28, 1847. He 41; she 17.
They built a home on a tract of land in what is now within the City of Quitman. Their home was a "double-pen" log house. They lived there until shortly before Brooks County was created in 1858. They sold out and moved to Hamilton County, Fla.
McKeen homesteaded 160 acres in the northwest corner of the county about 12 miles southeast of Quitman. He later bought 340 acres adjoining his homestead. McKeen built their home and in due time, had a fine plantation. He died on 27 October 1875 from injuries sustained from a kick by a sick mule he was treating.
It was said Chloe was part Indian. She functioned as a doctor/midwife and rode horseback to see her patients. She remarried on November 5, 1882 to Bryant Burnam. Chloe was a member of Bethlehem Baptist church. She passed this life on April 29, 1906 and was buried next to McKeen Green McCall on their old homestead. Her tombstone said: "C. A. Burnam". Chloe A. McCall, baby daughter of Pennywell McCall, was also buried next to McKeen Green on what is now called the "Old McCall Cemetery". McKeen and Chloe had nine children.

His obituary reads:
Killed By A Mule. 27 October 1875.
We have been informed of the death of Mr. Green McCall, an old and highly respected citizen of Hamilton County, Florida, living near Bellville. Mr. McCall died from the kick of a mule. The mule was sick and Mr. Mc. and son had been administering a drench, and was trying to lead him away from the place of drenching; the mule apparently did not want to move, and the deceased stepped up and struck him in the flanks. His muleship did not like this kind of treatment and kicked Mr. Mc. in the pit of his stomach, producing death in a few minutes. Many friends mourn his sudden death.
