He was the son of Major John Lee and Laetitia Atwell. She died in childbirth in 1775. Their son Willis Atwell Lee was my mother's third great grandfather. I know nothing at all about the Atwells. Major John Lee married his second wife Elizabeth Bell in 1781. They divested their property in Culpeper Orange Co Va near the courthouse and moved to Kentucky territory in 1792. John Lee and Elizabeth had a lot of children, Lewis John Sarah Elizabeth, Mary Lucinda, Matilda, and Thomas.

He came to Frankfurt KY to take a position in Judge Thomas Todd's office in 1793. Married Mary McAffee and built home "Glen Willis" on land given to him by his uncle Hancock Lee, founder of Leestown.

Does anyone know, wether or not -- and if so: where the mailing list might be archived? Want to compare my names, places and dates with the loose ends of other Atwell researchers. Siegfried

My 6th great-grandfather Edward Shipman (b 1654 in Saybrook) has been listed as marrying Abigail ?. It was recently suggested that his wife was Abigail Atwell, daughter of John Atwell. Does anyone have any information that could support this theory? Interestingly enough, Edward and Abigail's daughter, Deborah married John Atwell. She had married first (1714) John Buckley, who was lost at sea. On April 16, 1728, John Buckley, Jr. chose his step-father, John Atwell, as his guardian. Any information on any of these people would be greatly appreciated. Sharon

The following got bounced by the spam detectors at RootsWeb. It is rare for a message to be bounced that is not spam, but it does happen. In general, though, the spam detectors prevent RootsWeb from being overwhelmed.

Hope this helps. She preferred for me to call her "Aunt Elsie", and I felt honored to do so! She was born Jan 19, 1893 and died 20 April 1989. I will forever be indebted for all of the information she shared with me. Her desire was for me to share the information with anyone that was interested. I feel this is one of the best ways to do so.
