I would also be interested in any information on these Lee's as I'm looking for the parents of Burrell Lee, born late 1700's or early 1800's, in SC, moved to GA>AL. He married Mahala. After her death, he married Nancy Pate. Martha

LEE researchers, Looking for the ancestry of this LEE family. There is a statement in a 1911 memoir by Thomas Jefferson YOUNGBLOOD that his maternal grandfather was John LEE who married Sarah BEAN in Edgefield Distr., SC. He thought that John's father was also John LEE who was a valued scout for Gen. Francis Marion during Revolutionary War. Need a cite.

Trying to locate the parents of Samuel Lee (1771-1833). Some believe his Rev. War ancestor might have been a Daniel who came from CT, then migrated to PA, and then children went to IL. The following are those currently listed in the DAR Patriot Index from New England: LEE, Daniel Birth: CT 20 Jan 1753 Service: CT Rank: Pvt Death: CT 1 Jul 1806 Patriot Pensioned: No Widow Pensioned: No Children Pensioned: No Heirs Pensioned: No Spouse: (1) Sarah Whittaker LEE, Daniel Birth: MA 1740 Service: MA Rank: Capt Death: PA 5 Apr 1825 Patriot Pensioned: Yes Widow Pensioned: No Children Pensioned: No Heirs Pensioned: No Spouse: X Spouse: Patience Calendar LEE Sr, Daniel Birth: MA 29 Sep 1732 Service: MA Rank: Pvt Death: MA 12 Sep 1792 Patriot Pensioned: No Widow Pensioned: No Children Pensioned: No Heirs Pensioned: No Spouse: (1) Agnes Campbell LEE Jr, Daniel Birth: MA 20 Sep 1762 Service: MA Rank: Pvt Death: PA 15 Sep 1841 Patriot Pensioned: Yes Widow Pensioned: No Children Pensioned: No Heirs Pensioned: No Spouse: Jerusha Page Spouse: Hannah Butts Of those listed, only two went from MA to PA, and the one in CT evidently died there. Without ordering copies of each of these applications, there isn't any way to determine if these men had sons Samuel, Zebulon, and Jonathan UNLESS someone happens to connect to these men and can fill me in on the children! : ) C.

All, I am informed that the grave marker for Captain Thomas LEE (RS-NC) in Hawkins Co., TN reads 29 Dec 1729-2 Jul 1816. It doesn't say where birth occurred. Assuming that this marker exists and is legitimate, it is the basis for all the later citing of this birth date and it opens the door to a discussion of Thomas LEE. Is he the son of John LEE, Esq. of Johnston Co., NC, as often suggested, or not? John's son, Thomas, is estimated to be born 1835. I agree that Thomas, the son of John, Esq., went to Hawkins Co., TN and settled there and that Captain Thomas LEE (RS-NC) also settled in Hawkins Co., TN. My challenge is to determine if they are one and the same or two different people. I have read of others accounts which state that they are one; it holds true as long as there weren't two Thomas LEEs in Hawkins Co., TN at the same time. Will Franke, a noted researcher of these LEEs, addressed this aspect, but I'm not sure what he considered. He did conclude that the Thomas of John, Esq. was the same as Capt. Thomas LEE of Hawkins Co., TN. First, I need a confirmation of the dates on the grave marker in Hawkins Co., TN of Captain Thomas LEE.

Hugh; Can you tell us exactly where Ditchley Hall is? What is the history behind it? I found this website, http://www.armourersandbrasiers.co.uk/history_hall.htm It states that: > Anne Vavasour was appointed a Gentlewoman of the Queen’s Bedchamber > in 1580 and got to know Sir Henry Lee who was Queen Elizabeth I’s > Champion. She became his mistress, although they used the rather > quaint term ‘reading lady’. Sir Henry’s wife died in 1590 and Anne > moved into the Lee home at Ditchley to keep house for him. Together, > they entertained the Queen at Ditchley in September 1592. > Anne outlived Sir Henry, but both were buried at Quarrandon, near > Aylesbury, in a chapel of which only a remnant of the outer wall now > remains. Sir Henry’s monument showed him lying down in armour with an > effigy of Anne kneeling at his feet. > > Sir Henry Lee became Queen Elizabeth I’s champion in 1570 and was > appointed Master of the Royal Armouries in 1580 until his death. He > resigned his office of Queen’s Champion in November 1590, aged 57, > when the annual Accession Day tilts were held at Westminster, > acknowledging that his ‘golden locks time hath to silver turned’. He > was made a Knight of the Garter in 1597, one of very few commoners to > have enjoyed that honour. The portrait of Sir Henry was painted by > Marcus Gheeraerts in 1602. This makes it sound as though Ditchley Hall was in England, was there another in Virginia? And who was Sir Henry LEE mentioned in the article? Interesting stuff, Hugh. Thank you. ---Lorraine

Lee married 2nd:Mary Ann Frith on 2 Nov 1857. They had John A., Nanny, Claude and at least 4 other children. Birth Record for Claude: 1875 Birth Record: Date of birth: June 12,1876 Full name of child: Claud Mclester Lee, sex male; # of other children 9; Color white; Place of birth: city of Cuthbert,Ga.; Mothers maiden name: Mary Ann Frith;Mother's birth place Cuthbert,Ga.;Age 38 Mother's residence: Cuthbert, Ga.;Full name of father: John Anderson Lee; Birth place: Butler Co., Ala. Reported by L. McLester M.D. Recorded 28 Jun 1876 by M. Gormley Ordinary. John A. Lee served in the 5th Georgia Infantry in the Civil War in the Atlanta Campaign. Hershel moved first to Newton Co.,Al., then was given property in Dothan,Al. to go there as a brickmason. There is an orbit on the Tarrant Co., TX genweb site that says : ARLINGTON JOURNAL THURSDAY---MARCH 7, 1907 Mr. and Mrs. John Boothe attended the funeral of J.A. Lee, cousin of Mr. Boothe at Ft. Worth last Tuesday afternoon. There is more than one John A. Lee in Tarrant Co., TX. at that time and I'm not sure this one is ours, and have not found a connection with any other lines. Family history is that the father of these children was a Methodist circuit rider. He married Alice Talent? in Macon Ga. 1807. He died when most of the children were minors, and their mother had no resources to raise her family, and other people finished raising them, and she remarried and moved to NC. William Lee's children said their father had told them that he had another sister, and after he was grown he looked for her, but never found her. Family history also said that William's father was a vet of the Revolutionary War. The family bible did not note William Lee's parents names. I have not found any census that I can be sure is the parents of William Lee. Sorry this is so long. I would be interested in any more info that may pertain to this family. I learned that the FHL has also microfilmed the Macon Co. AL files. I called to order the microfilm. It will be at least two weeks before I will have access to it. If there is anything more that I can help you with about this family, please let me know.

I have done a lot of research on LEE's in the Macon, Lee, Chambers and Russell Co, AL. William L. LEE, b. 12 Feb 1851, GA was an orphan in 1868 when he married Winnie ELKINS in LEE Co, AL, 10 Dec 1868. He is buried in Pierce Chapel Cemetery, Opelika, Lee Co, AL, d. 30 Apr 1915. He is my wifes gr, gr, grandfather.

My g-g-ggrandfather William Lee, b. 1818 in Ga. (lived in Alabama until 1877) migrated to Brownwood, Brown Co., Texas.  All of his children moved with him. He married Mary Elizabeth Young in Barbour County Alabama in 1851. By 1870 they had moved to Baker Co. Al. (later renamed Chilton Co.) . I have not found him in any census before 1860. I believe his father was John Anderson LEE, who died in Macon Co., Alabama in 1839.  I need to order a microfilm  from the LSD Library to see in any more info was in the loose papers of the estate of Green Lee, Administrator Asa Lee dated July 1839, or when Asa Lee was appointed guardian of his younger brothers and sisters. Asa Lee was found in the Macon County censusin 1840. Thank you. Marie David Pope 2407 Hodges Bend Circle Sugar Land, TX 77479 281/980-8893 (Home) 713/412-1903 (Cell) [email protected]
