Eight generations of McGees have lived in the home and on the land first settled by John and Esther McGee in what is now known as McGee Cove, Warren County, Tennessee. John McGee's tombstone is barely visible at the left end of the grove of trees in the center of the photo. Samuel and Manerva are buried near the trees just behind John's grave.

For over 100 years The Birthing Tree with it's ample and well developed structure and foilage gave protection to travelers passing through the area. A number of pregnant women gave birth under the the massive white oak, hence the name. Located NorthEast of McMinnville on Sparta Highway, across from and owned by the River Park Hospital, The Birthing Tree was granted Landmark Tree status in 2000 by the Tennessee Urban Forestry Council.
