While I do not connect directly with Alfred Lee, I do connect with wife of one of his sons, Bee Lee. I haven't done much research on Alfred for that reason so I don't know anything about his Ohio families. However, I would like to see transcription of your letter, if you don't mind sharing. One never knows what clues might emerge from such letters. Again I appreciate your replying to my earlier message.

Author: MarkFTC Surnames: Lee Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.lee/11375.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: This may be a bit of a long shot but it is suggestive. We have an old letter in our family Bible, written by someone in April 30, 1853 from Grenhorn Creek, Siskiyou County, to his brother "John." This could either be John Swanke Lee 6/26/1827 - 2/9/1911 b. in Ohio d. in Ontario, CA; m. Louisa Lefever; son of David B. Lee 1796-1884 David buried in Seneca Co, OH. Or possibly John Lee's father-in-law, John Lefever 1807-1890 buried in Seneca Co, Oh. (The Bible was a gift to Louisa from her father John in 1856; the letter has evidently been stuck in there ever since.) John Lee had brothers Russel, Wilbur, and Milton. John Lefever also had a son named John b. 1834, who had brothers Harry (with diverse spellings), William, and Jacob B., so there's a chance the emigrant was from that family as well (siblings of Louisa), though I lean towards a Lee. There's a whole slough of other Lees from around Clyde and Green Springs, OH related to Gershom Lee who had many children, and I haven't untangled the relationships between the clans. There is only one page of the letter, basically apologizing for not yet being able to repay monies borrowed (to go west?). The letter is pretty faded, but I'd transcribed it longhand quite a few years ago, and most of it is to still legible. If you are interested, I can type it up to email and send a photo if you think it relevant. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

The last person enumerated in this family is Mary Jane. Ancestry.com lists her last name as 'Jane' not 'Lee'. The other members of the family are 'Lee' Could this be a mistake by whomever transcribed the original census record? Additionally the place of birth is listed as just "I".
