Posted on: Wilkes Co. Ga Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Wilkes/665 Surname: LEE ------------------------- Hi. It is very interesting that you and I have posted a message using names that are similarily the same. I don't know of the person you are searching for, however, I do have a JOHN LEE in my search. JOHN LEE, also from WILKES COUNTY, GA was an African man mixed with Indian descent. I believe that his mother was Indian (Chickasaw or Shoshone). What is interesting is that he married my ggg-grandmother in the mid-1800's and they had children. Their first girl was named AMY BELL LEE. Now, either this is a great coincidence, or we may be on to a great discovery. It is a known fact that the Black slaves took on the surnames of their owners, and it is also a fact that they patterened their families, including names after their owners families as well. Will you please look at a message that I have posted today under the surname STOKES, HAMMIT, BOSTIC... perhaps there are some other family names that you can recognize. If there is a connection, please don't feel apprehensive about it in any way. I know that there has been a bit of tension in the past concerning relationships between the races, but it is a blessing to be able to trace our families back to a geographical location. We are missing so much, and any piece of the puzzle will help. May God bless you in your search. Thank You. D. Adams
