Joseph Beckwith the 2nd married Mary Lee and it was Joseph and Thomas Lee the 2nd that formed one of the first basic civil governments, decades before the Revolution. I plan on attending and please pull up "The Thomas Lee House" of Connecticut and it provides the history on how our people lived in the Connecticut River Valley.
