August 1856 Sun 10 I went to Bethlehem Church to Mrs Lees funeral ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Mon 11 We worked at our staves Martin Stallings and Charles Payne sawed for us ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Tues 12 It rained nearly all day though very slow ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Wed 13 We worked at our staves Martin and Charles sawed for us ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Thurs 14 We made staves Martin and Charles sawed timber by the thousand ; we hired them to saw 50 thousand provided we can get timber ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Fri 15 We went to Ohio to see Grandfather Barnett he is sick but when we got there he was getting better ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Satu 16 We went to W J Blacks while we was in the neighborhood ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- I wasn't able to identify Mrs. Lee from the census. Davis has a neighbor named Mason Lee , in the 1850 census. He is buried in Bethlehem Cemetery (1809-1886) but no burial listed for Mrs Lee. He has a wife Elizabeth age 50 in 1850 and a wife named Elizabeth aged 55 in 1860. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------ "Ohio" is Ohio County. Davis's grandfather was Solomon Barnett, his father-in-law was Willis John Black

I have in my database that Mason Lee was married to Elizabeth K. Jones Duncan on 29 December 1856 in Daviess Co., so there would have been two Elizabeth Lee's. The second one was a daughter of James Jones, the Revolutionary soldier, and a widow of Joseph F. Duncan, son of Samuel Duncan and Sally Jones (what relation??). Joseph and Elizabeth Duncan were the parents of 5 children: James Y. Duncan, Samuel T. Duncan, Brice Page Duncan, Franklin Duncan and Sarah A. Duncan Thornberry. This family had moved to Missouri, but after Joseph's apparent death Elizabeth moved back to Daviess Co., and in the 1850 census appears in her father's household with only 2 of the children: Samuel T. and Sarah A. I don't know what happened to the other children. Samuel T. married Sarah Brown and lived in Daviess Co. Sarah A. married David Thornberry and lived in Daviess Co. Anybody know anything about this family???
