Liz, I research the Lee family of Early Co GA. My ancestor Elias Lee had a daughter, Persis Lee b c1808 who married #1 Jesse Tull and had 2 children 1)William L Tull & 2) Huel A Tull. After Jesse Tull's death, Persis married 5 May 1841 in Early Co GA to a William McElvy b c1808. By 1850, this William McElvy owned over 1000 acres of land. I have more details about all of this. Persis died 25 Dec 1854 and is buried in a Private Lee Cemetery in what is now Clay Co Ga. William was undoubtedly married to someone prior to his marriage with Persis as there is a 15 yr old William McElvy listed with them on the 1850 Early Co GA census. Is this William McElvy, b c1808, related to your William McElvy (1778-1842), and if so, do you have more exact dates for him? Thanks. Lindy Lee Hard
