I'm not 100% sure which George Washington Lee this is. I don't think he's George (born 1856) son of Thomas and Alice Lee. At first, I thought for sure he was G.W., son of Joel W. Lee and Catherine Sellers (because he was next door to their other son John H. Lee in 1880 Butler Co.), but I also think he could be George (born c. 1840), son of Lovard Lee and Matilda Powell. I hope to find out for sure which one he is. There were so many Georges in this Lee family!
