I have been trying for years but so far am a failure. My Lee came from Iriland as Leigh to Spain. Then to the Spanish Territories in North America and finally in New Mexico Territory. My Mother In Law was born in Albequerque but there is no records. Some say the Catholic Church gave them new names or Spanish sounding names. If this be so the dates and most names are Armijo vice Lee. I can find fanilies which match the given names attached to surnames which are in the greater family name. ie. Isabel Chavez from Esteban Chavez has Gallegos, Armijo, Jaramillo.etc. in her long family name but none have Lee except those born in California. A marriage with correct date and place in Imperial California, by the Catholic Church Has Albert Miller Lee as Leopoldo Armijo. Ciolina USN-Ret

I have seen sites for Canada and countries like England, Scotland, etc. but nothing for Mexico. Surely there are people looking for roots in old Mexico - I would like to look in the area across the river from McAllen, Texas. Does any one know?

Actually, we only have 8 g grandparents and then 16 gg grandparents, then it begins doubling. Unless you are a typical modern day child and have multi-parents (my mother was married 4 times; my bio father married 3 times; adopted father married 5 times) which leads to a whole grist of grandparents. And all these people know you do genealogy and want you to trace their lines, too!!

Cheryll, I would be interested in any information regarding your maternal gg-gm, Delilah JOINER Lee. She was the wife of Bennett LEE, b. 1820, d. bef 1870, Mobile, AL. Bennett LEE was the son of Lovet LEE & Matilda ???. Following the info you E-Mailed to GALAUREN-L, I have included your 1999 E-Mail that provided earlier info for me on Delilah & Bennett.

Alabama JOINERs. > ----------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail dated 25 Jun 1999 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [LEE-L] LEEs NC> AL(c.1830's--Butler/Conecuh Co.) I need help on my g-gm, Elizabeth LEE Black, and her family. This is what I know about Elizabeth LEE's family. Her father Bennett Lee was in Butler County, AL by 1837, maybe before. He is on Butler County's 1850 census and Conecuh County's 1860 census. He died during the Civil War in a Mobile hospital, so he is not on any 1870 census. Here is his family on the 1850 Butler County census: # 889 LEE, Bennett 30 farmer NC Delilah 25 NC Permelia 5 AL Elizabeth 3 AL *** Lovett 1 AL Here they are in 1860 in Conecuh County: #998/961 LEE, Bennett 45 MW Farmer 400 400 NC Delilah 36 AL Eliza 13 Permelia 11 **Lovett 10 George 8 Lucinda 6 Susannah 4 Lucy A. 2 My mother and uncle said there were also children nicknamed Lon (Alonzo) and Fanny. Maybe these were nicknames for two of the above. I have found a Lovet LEE (50-60 years old) with nine sons and one daughter on the 1840 Butler County Census, living two farms from Edward LEE, Sr., who is three farms from my ggg-gm Widow Mary BLACK. I'm thinking this Lovet could be Bennet's father, since Bennet's first son was named Lovet. Other Lees in Butler County in 1837-44 were Irvin, Young, Micajah, Benjamin N., Joel W., Isaac, Ned Nicholas, Sarah, Loverd, Elexander, Jeremiah, Nancy, Sally, Edward Lee, Jr., Nancy, Matilda, and Emily. Does anyone know the relationships among any of the aforementioned Lees? Many of them seem to be from NC, some from Georgia. Also do you know if these Butler County LEEs were related to the Conecuh County LEEs? I have found a George and Alonzo there [Bennet had sons with these names].

The following are extracts from various sources, mainly pension applications, that cite officers by name of LEE who commanded military elements at Stony Point, NY 15-16 July 1779. <<In June 1776, ****** Captain Philip Richard Francis LEE's company, 3rd Virginia Regiment, commanded by Col. Thomas Marshall and in Brigadier General George Weeden's celebrated Virginia Brigade.>> Comment-WEEDEN'S Brigade was stationed in the Highlands of New York at the time of Battle of Stony Point. The 3rd VA Regt of this brigade would have sent its Light Infantry Company in the spring of 1779 to be attached to Wayne's Corps of Light Infantry at Fort Montgomery, NY in preparation for the assault on the British fortificaion at Stony Point. << 1777-1778, Ensign Cpt John Lee's Co, Col George Gibson's 1st VA State Regt; 1779, served as LT in Cpt Winsor Brown's Co, Col Gibson's Regt; 1781 served as Pvt (sic) in Cpt Armstead White's Co, Culpeper Militia; served in battle of Long Bridge *>> Comment-The 1st VA State Regt. was a part of General Mechlenburg's brigade stationed in the NY Highlands at the time of the Stony Point assault.

Last weekend I bought a sampler (in KY of all places), and it was made by Ann Lee in 1846, when she was 11 years old. At the bottom she has stitched White Roothing National School. A little computer research discovered that White Roothing is a town in Essex, England, and that there was a Lee family in the area, in the 1800s.....but, how Ann's sampler made it's way to Kentucky is something I'd sure like to know. So, if Ann sounds familiar to anyone, I'd love to hear from you...I curious about her and her life - and would be more than happy to send some digital photos of the sampler to any of her relatives.

Hi I was in contact with you before about Henry David Lee and if we thought they may have been related.

I found this interesting, so was wondering if anyone has Lightfoot in their Lee lines? I have some Lightfoot's in my paternal line, hope this might help someone. MW 10359 PENDLETON CO - LIGHTFOOT, GEORGE COLVIN - Lightfoot, Colvin, Holton, Bass, Lee #10359: Biographical Encyclopedia of Kentucky, J. M. Armstrong & Company,1878, Cincinnati, Ohio. Pendleton Co. George Colvin Lightfoot, Retired Merchant, was born January 15, 1804 in Pendleton County,Kentucky. He is the fourth son in a family of thirteen children, who parents were William Lightfoot and Leannah Colvin Lightfoot, both natives of Culpeper County,Virgina. His father was a farmer; emigrated to Kentucky as early as 1793;first settled at Washington, Mason County, Kentucky, but shortly after located in Pendleton County, where his father, John B.Lightfoot, perhaps taught the first school ever taught in Pendleton County. In 1833, William Lightfoot removed to Rush County, Indiana, where he resided until a few years before his death. The Lightfoots emigrated from Staffordshire,England, at a very early day, and were related to the celebrated Dr.Lightfoot, who gained some celebrity in connection with the revision of the Scriptures. **They settled in Virginia, and intermarried largely with the Lees, one of the old and distinguished families of the State. His mother was the daughter of John Colvin, of Culpeper County, Virginia,who was a substantial farmer. The subject of this sketch was raised on a farm near Falmouth, Pendleton County, Kentucky, acquired a limited education is such schools as the county then supplied; at the age of twenty years, took up his residence in Falmouth, and after a few years began merchandising; in 1847, removed to Covington, Kentucky, took charge of the Madison House in that city; remained there five years, and then, returning to Falmouth took charge of his hotel (The Jefferson House) in that place, and also resumed the mercantile business. After having spent thirty years as a merchant, he chiefly retired from business about the close of the rebellion,now only superintending the management of his hotel. He was for many years a magistrate in Falmouth, and has held various positions in the regulation of the affairs of the town; and has, for a half century or more,been intimately and favorably identified with the various interests of the community. He was originally a Whig, but, after the dissolution of that party, became a Democrat; and during the war of the rebellion,his sympathies and principles placed him on the side of the South.He has been,for thirty years, a Mason in good standing, and for the same length of time, a member of the Christian Church; and has always been noted for his integrity of character, his fine personal and business habits,and his unassuming social manners; and now, at his advanced age, few men exhibit such general elasticity and vigor and show such high perservation,physically and mentally. Mr. Lightfoot was married, June 10, 1830, to Miss Malinda O. Holton, daughter of Elijah Holton of Falmouth,Kentucky. He has but one child living, Laura H. Lightfoot, who married John H.Bass of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Colonel Sandi Gorin ==== KYBIOGRAPHIES Mailing List ==== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

From: Walter McElligott <[email protected]> Hellen, Thanx so much for the LEE info on my gr-father. How often we are tempted to forget how generous & kind our fellow researchers are. They then remind us by an act they did not have to do. I hope I can someday repay someone for your help. This is what genealogy is all about! Walt ============== Walt, totally Amen! to your message. That is what genealogy is all about to me also. I would know hardly nothing on some of my ancestors, esp the Lee's if not for some fine and generous folks sharing.

Researchers, It was the practice in the British Army to consolidate the Light Infantry Companies from e number of regiments and form into a Corps of Light Infantry for the campaign season. So it was with the American Continental Army in 1779. In the spring of 1779 the British had advanced up the Hudson (North) River to King's Ferry landing sites on either bank of the river, On the east was Verplank's Point and on the west was Stony Point. Fortifying the two points posed a threat to Washington's Army at West Point some 12 miles to the north on the west bank of the river. The Stony Point garrison posed the greatest threat. It was being well fortified with defensive works and cannon as well as a garrison of about 700 men. Washington needed to respond to the presences of the British Army. Thus he caused the Corps of Light Infantry (LI) to be formed using the regimental light infantry companies of his Army around West Point. These troops were from MA. PA, VA, MD, DE, CT and NC. The LI companies contributed to the Corps were formed into companies as follows: 6 from MA, 6 from PA, 6 from VA, 4 from MD/DE, 8 from CT, and 2 from NC. It was 32 companies in all. The Corps was to be commanded by Brigadier General Anthony Wayne. He organized the Light Infantry Corps into 4 Regiments, each with 8 Companies. Wayne selected the senior officers from the most experienced of Washington's Army in the area. The First LI Regiment was commanded by Colonel Christian Febiger of Virginia, the Second LI Regiment by Colonel Richard Butler of Pennsylvania, the Third LI Regiment by Colonel Return J. Meigs of Connecticut and the Fourth LI Regiment by Colonel Rufus Putnam of Massachusetts. Other field grade officers (Lt. Cols. and Majors) were selected for their reputations as leaders and fighters. As the LI companies were already manned by the best junior officers (Captains and Lieutenants) and the most experienced soldiers in each regiment, the whole was a composite of the finest of the Continental Army. Training was rigorous with emphasis on the use of stealth and the bayonet. General von Stueben, himself, oversaw the training. The mission of the Corps was very close hold. It was to attack Stony Point , a fortress built on a rocky promontory located on the west bank of the Hudson River. The troops were to approach at night and assault using bayonet alone. The only firing of muskets was to be by the element which was to cause a diversion. The scheme was to attack Stony Point from south and north while an element created a diversion by musket fire from the center or main approach to the fort. General Wayne lead the attack from the south. The attack was scheduled for midnight 15 July 1779. Due to the difficult terrain it was about 20 minutes late. However, the fort was over run in about 20 to 30 minutes. The ruse of feinting an attack on the main approach worked and the defenders were poorly deployed when the LI flank attacks over came the resistance. "The fort is our own" was the cry of success that night. Often overlooked is the Artillery detachment with Wayne, whose task was to man the captured cannon and turn the guns on the British vessel in the River and on the fortress at Verplank Point on the opposite side of the river. This they did with exceptional effect. They drove HMS Vulture down stream and harassed the opposite fort to the point that they did not react to the action at Stony Point. There were many heroes that night, but several got recognized by Congress. They were Brig. Gen. Anthony Wayne, Lt. Col. Louis de Fleury, Major Jack Stuart, Lt. James Gibbon, and Lt. George Knox. Because this Corps of Light Infantry was a temporary organization, the details of its membership were not recorded or recordings were lost. At present the only way to continue to reconstruct the rosters of the several units is by reviewing personal claims of service at the Storming of Stony Point on 16 Jul 1779 which claims are found in individual pension applications for the most part. Some of the Company Orderly Books of the various LI companies may exist in a limited number of collections. I have found one kept by Captain Gamble of Virginia which was kept after the action at Stony Point, but before the Corps was disbanded for that year. It reveals many of the names, particularly Officers and Noncommissioned Officers who continue to serve in the Corps. Officers and men who were killed or wounded at Stony Point are not accounted for by name in material revealed so far. My attempt is to reconstruct the names of those who served in the Battle of Stony Point. If you have a Revolutionary War Patriot who claims he was at the Storming of Stony Point in 1779, I would appreciate hearing from you. Best regards, Hugh <[email protected]>
