I am still trying to identify the G Washington Lee in the records below. In the will given below of GWL, a son "Sam" and a daughter "Alice Ledkin" are mentioned. George Washington Lee, son of Thomas Lovard Lee and Alice Caroline Lee, had a brother named "Sam" and his mother is named "Alice." Could this be a clue?
