Hugh, Thank you for those additional 3 Charles. My Mother's maiden name is LEE so I have had much interest in this line for 25 or so years. I've collected LEE names like one would collect stamps, just in case they happen to match with my direct lines. One never knows, right? So, just for fun, I have in my database, the following LEES: Abner (4 of them), Agnes (2), Alice (2), Ambrose (3), Andrew (3), Anne (17), Arthur (4), Barnett (2), Benjamin (2), Brooks (4), Catherine (4), Charles (14 now), Dora (2), Dorothy (2), Eleanor (2), Elizabeth (14), Ephraim (2), Francis, (6), George (20), Gresham (6), Guy (2), Hancock (4), Henry (6), Isaac (5), James (12), Jesse (3), John (36), Joseph (5), Levi (2), Lucy or Lucinda (8), Margaret (3), Mary (29), Matilda (4), Miller (2), Nancy (9), Naomi (2), Nathanial (2), Noah (2), Peter (2), Phoebe (2), Philip (8), Richard (26), Robert (17), Samuel (3), Sarah (11), Stephen (4), Susannah (2), Sydney (2), Thomas (15), Virginia (2), Walter (3), William (23) and Young (4). These are the single odd LEE names: Aaron, Abigail, Abraham, Addeville, Ailsey, Albert, Alfred, Algernon, Alma, Alonzo, Amanda, Amy, Antha, Aubrey, Aurie, Bertha, Burr, Cecilia, Columbus, Cora, Corbin, Curtis, Daniel, DeGrafton, Earl, Edward, Ellen, Emma, Enoch, Ermadean, Ernestine, Evaline, Evan, Ezekial, Felix, Fitzhugh, Flora, Fredonia, Greene, Greenwood, Hannah, Horace, Houston, Humphrey, Iola, Isabella, Iziller, Jackin, Keziah, Lafayette, Laura, Leonora, Leroy, Lettice, Lewis, Louisa, Ludwell, Luke, Luna, Minerva, Odie, Ola, Palmyra, Permella, Priscilla, Rachel, Ralph, Raymond, Rebecca, Waid, Wesley, and Willis. That was fun... If anyone on this list has any interest, I have some knowledge about the LEE's who settled Brownwood, Brown County, Texas. ---Lorraine

HELLO DENNIS, CLINT & HUGH, MANY YEARS AGO, IN A QUEST FOR ANCESTRY OF JLX (MY LINE), I DID A NUMBER OF INITIAL COMPARISON STUDIES AND HELD OUT SOME HOPE THAT JAMES LEE OF BATH WAS POSSIBLY CONNECTED WITH THE GODFREY LEE OF LONDON AND SURRY, COLONIAL. I POSTULATED THIS BASED ON THE PRESENCE OF PEYTONS IN THE JAMES LEE RECORDS AND THE VERY PROMINENT PLACE OF PEYTONS IN THE GODFREY LEE LINE. IN HAYDEN'S VIRGINIA GENEALOGIES IS A STUDY OF "PEYTON" AND WITHIN IT, A PROMINENT PLACE FOR GODFREY LEE OF LONDON, MERCHANT & VIRGINIA CONNECTIONS OF THE FAMILY. INDEPENDENT OF HAYDEN, I DID MY OWN INVESTIGATIONS AMONG LONDON RECORDS ON GODFREY LEE & WROTE A MONOGRAPH ON MY FINDINGS. WHETHER DONE NOW OR LATER, I THINK IT WOULD BEHOVE THE DNA PROJECTS ON SUNDRY LEE COLONIAL LINES ALREADY IN DNA TESTING TO BE IN CONTACT WITH ANY SIMILAR WORK BEING DONE IN ENGLAND. I ALSO THINK IT LIKELY THAT ALREADY GENEALOGICALLY PROVED LEE LINES ARE STILL LIVING IN VIRGINIA WHO NEVER MIGRATED, AND MIGHT BE PERSUADED TO OFFER DNA MATERIAL, EVEN IF "WE" HAD TO PAY FOR THE TESTING. IT ISN'T LIKELY THAT ALREADY GENEALOGICALLY PROVED LEE LINES WOULD BE SEEKING TO HAVE DNA ASSESSMENT, BUT SUCH TESTING WOULD SURELY HELP US! THE SOURCE, REVISED ED. (ED. BY SZUCS AND LUEBKING, 1997) OFFERS ON P. 707-708 A SECTION ENTITLED, "FAMILY SOCIETIES AND ORGANIZATIONS," & UNDER THAT HEADING A BOOK ENTITLED, "DIRECTORY OF FAMILY ASSOCIATIONS" (ELIZABETH PETTY BENTLEY), PUB.

I PRESUME THAT MY POINT IS TAKEN THAT THERE ARE PROBABLY A NUMBER OF EARLY VIRGINIA LEE LINES WHICH ARE ACCEPTED AS PROVED TO LIVING DESCENDANTS AND WHO WOULDN'T ORDINARILY SEE MUCH VALUE IN DNA TESTING AS REDUNDANT. HOWEVER, THE USEFULNESS OF DNA OFFERINGS FROM SUCH PROVED LINES WOULD BE INVALUABLE TO US & SHOULD BE EXPLORED AS A RESOURCE. PERHAPS I AM GLOSSING OVER EXTANT VIRGINIA LINES ALREADY IN DNA TESTING, BUT THOSE I'VE SEEN MENTIONED ARE PRIMARILY FROM PROVED PROGENITORS OF NORTH CAROLINA (OR VA-NC BORDER), SOUTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA AND MISSISSIPPI.

Lorraine: There's a variety of tests and testers out there. Relative Genetics, which has tested the most Lees so far, recommends the 37-marker test I took. It's $195. To get involved in the Lee Family Study, have your relative contact Major Clint Lee at [email protected] Clint will arrange to have a kit sent out to him and get him enrolled. From there, it's 5 minutes with some cotton swabs, mailing it back to RG with a payment, and about a 3 week wait for results. Robert E. Lee, Jr. ([email protected]) is also honchoing a study, but it is mostly based on the James and Mary Lee family. Likewise, Dick Purser is honchoing one on the Leigh family. There are several firms that test and several firms that operate databases. I think I have the only cross-vendor database of Lees/Leas/Leighs out there because I've gone to all the vendors, taken their data, and compiled it. But, that's a matter of time. They'll eventually start combining results.

Hugh...You seem to have a vast knowledge of the Lee families. Perhaps you can provide some information on Burrell Lee, born early 1800's in SC. On the census records his age varies approximately ten years. In 1850 and 1860 he is living in Chattahoochee and Muscogee County, GA. respectively. In 1870 and 1880 he is living in St. Clair County, AL. I have been searching for his parents and siblings for many years. There were many Burrell Lee's and several lived in Alabama at one time. I imagine they all came from the same line of Lee's, but I'm not positive. The John Lee Esquire line had Burrells but I can't fit mine into that line as of yet. There was a Burrell Lee who purchased land in Shelby County, AL in 1839 and on the same day as Needham Lee. William Pate who was a friend of Burrell (I have letter to prove) purchased land in Tallapoosa County in 1838. William Pate was from Coosa County, AL according to the land record.Then there was a purchase of land in Tallapoosa County by Burrell Lee on the same day as Jordan Lee in 1845. Do you have any information that might help me?...Regards, Martha [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected])

Could you please give us his birth dates and who his spouse and parents were. I have about 11 Charles Lee's in my database. :-) I can't match that information to the right one. Does anyone really know how many Lee's entered the country and lived in Virginia, pre-revolution and how many lines we are dealing with in our research?>> ____________________ Lorraine, For your info. From <http://www.patriotresource.com/people/charleslee.html> Major General Charles LEE <<Born: February 6, 1732; England Died: 1782; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Battles: Fort Sullivan Summary Charles Lee was an Irishman born in February 1732 in England. By the age of twelve, Lee was already commissioned in the British Army. Lee served under Maj. General Edward Braddock along with fellow officers George Washington, Horatio Gates and Thomas Gage during the French and Indian War. He then served in Europe for several years. After returning to Britain and retired. He then left for America. Not long after his arrival Lee became involved in the Patriot cause. When war broke out, he offered his services. Lee expected to be named Commander-in-Chief, but had to settle for 3rd in rank behind Washington and Artemas Ward. Lee joined Washington in Massachusetts and then in 1776, was named Southern Department Commander. He oversaw the Battle of Fort Sullivan, though he did not actively participate in the action. Lee was recalled north to aid General Washington, but during maneuvers in New Jersey in December 1776, he was captured by a British patrol. He was finally exchanged in May 1778. Lee's military career came to an end at the Battle of Monmouth when he disobeyed Washington's orders and then addressed Washington inappropriately. He was court-martialed and suspended from the command. He was later released from duty and died in Philadelphia in 1782 after a short illness.>> _______________________ I have not found anything about his family or parents Best regards, Hugh <[email protected]> [DENTON, FRENCH, GOAR, GURNEY, HOFFMAN, HUFFMAN, KNOX, MIZNER, POILLON, ROSE, RUTGERS, SMOCK, THOMASON, WOOD]
