Does anyone have information on the following LEE in Macon Co, AL? I have been unable to find any of the family after the 1850 Census. William LEE may be the William L. LEE that married Winnie ELKINS in 10 Dec 1868 in Lee Co, AL (See Below). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- 1850 U. S.

On the day following David Elkin's being appointed the Guardianship of William LEE, William LEE married Winnie ELKIN's, David ELKINS daughter. I assume William had to have a Guardian to sign for him. William was born 12 Feb 1849-1851. Some later Census records have William as born in Georgia, some in Alabama. David Pope tabsgran2@aol.com
