Joy: As you know, page 445 of "History of the Carlock Family", by Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK, 1929, says that Mary Ann LEE, wife of Abraham CARLOCK, was the daughter of William and Ruth LEE of Virginia, and that "William Lee was a brother of 'Light-Horse Harry' Lee of the Revolution; she was a first cousin of General Robert E. Lee ..." I also have a copy of the book "From Log Cabins to the White House -- A History of the Taylor Family", by Mary TAYLOR BREWER, 1985. A chapter on the LEE family appears on pages 273 - 278. Page 275 says "Henry LEE, Jr. m. Lucy GAINES, had: 'Light Horse Harry' who m. Ann CARTER and had Robert E. LEE." Assuming that all of this information is correct, this seems to say that William was also the son of Henry LEE, Jr., and Lucy GAINES.

Has anyone investigated the Carlock/Lee family connection? I am directly related to Mary Ann Lee Carlock who is purported to be related to Robert E. Lee in Marion P. Carlock's book on the Carlock family. I can not get clarification of this from the Lee family history. In the Carlock Book, the chain to this claim is through her father William...I can not find who's son he is in the Lee family lineage. If anyone has any info on this, I would greatly appreciate hearing from them. Thank You, Joy Hofer
