I did not have the dates you provided here and I am always looking for more LEE family information. I will send you my genealogy report later today, but wanted to address some of the things you've written here - just in case more cousins see this and wish to correspond with us also. To correct something you wrote here - Martha (Shelton) was not the mother of John W. Lee's children. She had no children of her own, but her sister, Nancy (Shelton) was the mother of all the children. John W. Lee m. March 12, 1831 in Butler Co., KY to Nancy Shelton, b. c1808 KY died around the time of Antha's birth in 1844. John Wesley Lee married Martha Shelton July 02, 1845 in Benton Co., MO. They were on the 1850 Greene Co., MO census. I have not found any cememtery information on Nancy Shelton Lee. These girls were daughters of Abednigo & Nancy Gough Shelton. See my webpages for more on them all: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~janicekmc/shelton.htm - notes on Abednigo & Nancy Gough Shelton http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~janicekmc/leenotes.htm - notes on John Wesley Lee http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~janicekmc/generate.htm - notes on John W. Lee's two families http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~janicekmc/index.htm - the first page I made for John W. Lee http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~janicekmc/sylnotes.htm - notes on George Sylvester "Sil" (my ancestor) As far as I can tell - there appears to be NO first cousin connection to John Wesley Lee and Gen. Robert E. Lee. I have looked and looked and can find nothing to connect them. But there are lots of things I want to know about this family - most importantly - who were the parents of John Wesley Lee. I would like to know where he is buried also. I think it was Grayson Co., TX, but so far, no luck finding it. I do look forward to corresponding with you. Regards, Janice [email protected]
