Author: secclest Surnames: LEE, GRESHAM, WATKINS, HOLCOMBE Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.lee/11870/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Would love someone to post new findings regarding the inter-connections of these families. This is what I have at this time. I am focusing on the puzzle that is Mary Gresham who marries Richard Henry Lee. It would seem that "Old Aunt Rhodey Watkins" of G W Lee Letter fame is likely Mary Gresham's sister. Rhoda Gresham: Rhoda Gresham's mother seems to be Barbara Holcombe - (1) Barbara Gresham gave consent to Rhoda's marriage to Joel Watkins in 1752 and (2) Rhoda's son, Silas Watkins, named his son after his two grandmothers: "Holcombe Pride Watkins" (Nation Builders book - Joel's mother was Elizabeth Pride). Requiring consent for the marriage suggests that Rhoda was young (Rhoda was likely born ca 1735) - and the fact that her mother provided consent suggests that father Gresham was out of the area or had died. If he died, was widow Barbara living in their home or with another relative when Rhoda marries in Amelia County? I haven't come across any reference to a Gresham's will that was proved between 1735 and 1752. So who did Barbara Holcombe marry? Possibly one of the 1704 Greshams. It is also possible that Mary Gresham and Rhoda Gresham had the same father but different mothers. Holcomb(e)s and King & Queen County: The Holcombes are present in the early 1700's in King & Queen County, VA. In 1704 the only Holcombes and Greshams that I can find in the Virginia Quit Rent Rolls are all in King & Queen County, VA. Actually, the only "Holcombe" I find listed is William Holcombe, Barbara's grandfather. By the 1720's, both Richard Holcombe (Barbara's father) and John Holcombe (Richard's brother) are on land near the Mattaponi/Mattapony River which divides King & Queen County and King William County, VA. John Holcombe leases his K&W Co land in 1721 and obtains a 1723 patent for 400 acres in King William Co adjoining brother Richard Holcombe (Barbara's father). One of the Lee letters also stated that Mary Gresham was Welsh - this may be referring to her Holcombe background as the Holcombes appear to have emigrated from Wales. There is debate regarding who Richard Henry Lee's father was - Thomas, Richard, another? It seems Thomas is a leading contender. However, one theory is that his father was the Richard Lee who arrived on ship in Virginia in 1695(along with a Mary Young and 100 others). Edward Hill obtained 5000 acres in King & Queen County for the importation of these individuals. Did these individuals remain in the area? Were they indentured servants for a few years to Edward Hill? Others in the Mattaponi/y area at the time Barbara Holcombe would have been living there with her father: In 1662 Edward Gresham renews a patent (for which he was assignee from Rowland Williams who was in turn assignee of Robert Joanes) for 500 acres on the north side of Mattapony River (New Kent County). In 1687 Richard Gregory receives a patent for 850 acres in New Kent County for 850 acres on the north side of Mattapony adjoining land of Mr Watkins and Richard Davis (formerly granted to Philip Watkins, Thomas Watkins and Wm Ricketts. In 1690 Edward Gresham Sr receives patent for 641 acres on the north side of Mattapony River (and on the Northeast side of "Axel Swamp") in New Kent County. The Name Game: Mary Gresham and Richard Henry Lee often named their children with family names. One child was named Gresham, another Mary, one was Young (perhaps after RH Lee's mother). no child was named Edward or Thomas - both Edward and Thomas have been mentioned as candidates for being Rhoda and/or Mary's father. That doesn't mean their father wasn't named Edward or Thomas but it is interesting. (It is also interesting to me that, to my knowledge, R H Lee did not name a child Thomas). That said, one of Mary and RH Lee's sons was named George and George Gresham was on the 1704 Quit Rent list. Other ties of Rhoda Gresham to the RH Lee family is the witnessing by William and Dolley Lee of Joel Watkins's will. RH Lee's son, Young Lee, named a daughter Rhoda. In addition, RH Lee's grandson named one of his sons Silas Watkins Lee. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

(my line) I recently visited Seneca Co OH and found David B. & Mary Swanke Lee's grave (and child Calender among others) in the Lowell Cemetery. But I have been unable to find any firm birthplace other than census records citing PA, and no parents' name. Some of the online public genealogies mix up his and Gershum Lee's children (more on him below), and some conflate him with a David R. Lee (different wife Mary Payne and dates) as well. I suspect finding background on this particular Gershum Lee (not the Kentucky one) might help me: Gershum Lee b.Oct 29, 1788 NJ (or NY?), m. Eve Heileman, d. Apr. 19, 1865, is buried in the Lee-Lay-Butternut Ridge Cemetery, about 5 miles away from the Lowell Cem., with many of his children there, as well as some of David B's descendants and some Lefevers. Gershum had a son David, married Mary Miller, who migrated to the same general area of IA that John Swanke Lee went to, and then came back... which has engendered some confusion between him and David B. (And Eva Heilman died in IA, so maybe Gershum had left and come back as well.) I've got a hunch that Gershum was David B's older brother and that they migrated to Seneca CO at the same time, but can't find anything firm on Gershum's parentage or siblings nor anything at all on David's origins other than the census record listing his and Mary Swank's births as PA. A younger sister of John, Jennie (married Boyd Rork, and also died in Ontario CA), was born 3/26/1836 Summit County, Ohio, so evidently the migration by David B. Lee from PA to Seneca, Co. took some time? No data on locations for the births of the other children: John Swanke Lee (6/16/1827 - 2/9/1911), Catherine (2/8/1830), Calender (10/3/1832 - 5/26/1857), Sarah Jane (3/26/1835), Milton & Mary (twins?)(7/17/1838, Milton d. 1864), Jane (1/13/1842) and Russel (8/14/1845). All this per the family Bible of Louisa Lefever Lee (m. John Swanke Lee) (both inscriptions in the Bible and notes and old obits stored in it) Working further back, but not having the connections, three other bits of data suggest to me connections to the New England Lee's by way of intermarriage in the 1700's: The use of the unusual given name Dorr both by my ggFather Dorr Buris Lee (1856-1944) and a Sandusky County Ohio descendent of Gershum's, Dorr Calender Lee; The Puritan sounding name Calender, both a child (son? daughter?) of David B's and the above descendent of Gershum's; The middle name Burris -- my ggFather above, and the suspicion that David B. Lee's middle name may have been Burris based on the way mother's maiden names get repeated as middle names (a pattern that follows through nearly every generation of my more recent history).

Hi: I have no connection to this family, but I have a little anecdotal data in my files that MIGHT be of use. It is totally uncited, so therefore conjectural in my book, so use it with care. I show that Gershum's father was Richard Moses Lee b. ca 1768, and that Richard's father was Moses Lee b. 1757, prob NJ. Like I said, I don't know the validity of that, but it might give you a place to look. Good hunting!

His parents were likely James E Lee and Elizabeth McVeigh. James is said to have been born in New York state. Your Ira is different, but lived in Lenawee County, MI (SE MI). No match. I don't know if you're from Michigan. If not, you might not be aware of two excellent sites for finding death records. www.seekingmichigan.org These area scanned records of the death certificate. They are from 1897-1920. They contain a wealth of information. *I use the advanced search at this site to enter a last name and sometimes county if the name is common. www.mdch.state.mi.us/gendisx/ Records from 1867-1897. The content of the site is not complete meaning not all death records are on the site. Sometimes you can find a last name for a father. I looked for Ira Lee and couldn't find one.

My information before my ggg grandfather can from other people's trees on ancestry.com, so I don't know if it is correct. Here's what I have: Ephraim Lee, b. 1755, Catskill, Greene, New York, d. 1820 m. Jerusha Palmer, b. 1755, New London, Connecticut, d. 1820 son: James E Lee, b.

They were married 19 May, 1816 in Elizabethtown, Leeds County, Ontario, Canada. This is about 35 miles east of Bedford, Ontario. Elizabeth McVeigh's parents were supposed Benjamin McVeigh and Lavina Hewitt. Benjamin's parents were supposedly John McVeigh and Jane McFee. (This reminded me of your Jane Fay.) My ggg grandfather was their second child. William Lee, b. Sep 10, 1818 in Elizabethtown, Ontario, Canada. They might have moved to Jefferson County, New York in the 1820s but I don't think that is correct. I do know they left Canada in the 1830s and headed west. They had a couple of children in Erie County, Ohio in the late 1830s. Then they moved to Van Buren County, Michigan. In doing some research, I found that men who were part of Jessup's Loyalists in the Revolutionary War were given land in Elizabethtown, Leeds, Ontario so I wondered if that's how the family ended up in eastern Ontario, Canada. Have you done the Family Finder DNA test? If you have, we might show up as cousins. Best regards, Lynnette Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I would love to see what you have. I have had some "confusing" parts come up when it comes to Samuel Lee and his wife. In the information that has been given to us, she the wife is either listed as Sarah Shay or Sarah Burns. Then I have seen it listed as Sarah Shay Burns and vice versa. I would like to clarify it before I move on. My family line runs from Angeby/Anzeby (and I've seen it as Betty) Lee, daughter of Samuel Lee and Sarah and her marriage to Daniel Madison Overstreet. In the same information, it says that Anzeby is a twin to Samuel Jr. I haven't seen that in other family trees so I'm trying to find out if that is correct or what. Also according to what I have, there was another daughter named Lucy Lee, who married Braswell Overstreet b. 1796. Now in the family trees that I've found for Lucy and Braswell-where it lists her family, it has nothing about a sister named Anzeby/Angeby/Betty and sometimes nothing about a Samuel Jr. On a couple of them it does list a Betty, but it has her being married to someone other than Daniel Madison Overstreet. If I've confused you, I apologize. It's been a crazy morning at my house. Look forward to hearing from you. Thank you-Staci.
