Hello, I am renewing my subscription to the Lee line. I am still searching for John, Hirum and Ruth Lee born in Tn. and living in Brown & Cass Co., Mi. 1840s-1880s, give or take a few years. Hirum, b/1825. 1840 census, Porter Twp, Cass Co., Mi lists 1 white male 20 and under 30; 1 white female 20 and 30, had a dau. Lydia A. Lee 1853/1909 married Erve Adamson b/1848, had four children. Grandson, Frank in household on 1880 census. Ruth Lee married a John Melling/Mellinger; was his 2nd wife; no issue. John 1830/1872 married Melissa Jane Norton 1858/1859 Cass Co., Mi Dau. Flora Etta Lee, 1860/1940 married Milton J Cole 1859/1911 had four children. Son, Wiliam Wheeler Lee, 1865/1944 married Laura Mae Smirl 1875/1953 had 6 children. John died 1872, Cass Co. Mi., from burns. About 1881/82 Melissa and Willian, with Flora Cole, her family and Lydia Adamson and her family moved to Nemaha Co., Ks. Will Lee married Laura Mae Smirl, dau. of "Emma", Eunice Emily Johnson and Samuel Monroe Smirl, in Nemaha Co. Ks. All their children born in Ks. Frank Lee, grandson of Hirum Lee, also moved Ks about the same time as the rest of them. He married and was also living in Nemaha Co., Ks and had one child the last I could find of him. I can pretty well go down line from Melissa and the above, except for Frank Lee. My husband, Maurice (Morris) Thaine Lee is grandson of Will and Laura Lee Would appreciate any info on these families in Mi., Tn. and on back. Thank you, Evelyn Lee
