Joseph M'Kee
Joseph M'Kee was a minister of the Methodist Protestant Church active in Baltimore in the 1830s. He is known chiefly for a written debate on universal salvation conducted with Otis A. Skinner, then a Universalist minister in Baltimore, which was published in 1835 as Theological Discussion; M'Kee argued against the Universalist position while Skinner defended it. Little else about his life appears to have been recorded.

A Theological Discussion: Skinner vs. M'Kee (1835) with Otis Ainsworth Skinner
An epistolary duel over Universalism between Otis A. Skinner, one of the denomination's ablest young controversialists, and the Rev. Joseph M'Kee, an orthodox opponent. The letters range over the standard battleground — the meaning of the biblical threatenings, the justice of endless punishment, the extent of the atonement — and show the controversy as it was actually conducted: courteous in form, unsparing in substance, and aimed at the reading public as much as at the opponent.
