Yes I know I have all of this. I was working on all of this way back and then found out that my Cousin Mildred Ingram had done a book on this as well. Some of them had given my Grannie a copy and she let me copy her copy! I of course has been added to over the years........................... George Lee and Frances Corbitt were the parents of Martha Jane Lee my Grannie's Mother! There have been a lot of tails about this John Lee family..................some good some not so good, some down right lies on the internet! The Lee's of Billy's Island were not naked barefoot savages who could not speak any known language............................. BUT there was for a time a website that so stated as much. But thanks for your kindness and sharing with me! That's how we all learn...........................that's why the lists are so great.
