Records at Ancestry.com show Young LEE born 25 Oct 1805 and married first to Susan or Susannah FAIL (c. 1830). A record at www.familysearch.org has Young LEE married to Sarah Lee FAIL.

Can anyone document the surname of Young Lee's second wife, Amariah? From where did Young Lee's birthdate (25 Oct 1805) on Ancestry.com come? Is there a family Bible? Can anyone document that Young LEE belonged to Samuel LEE, Jr., and Sarah THORNTON? Is this the same Samuel LEE (born 1772) who was married to Nancy ??? and moved from NC to Dallas Co.
