    1. M. A. LEE tombstone, Lee Valley Cemetery
    2. The headstone of M. A. LEE, wife of T. C. LEE, died 18 Nov 1874 in Lee Valley Cemetery, Hawkins Co., TN has been identified as Martha Ann LEE, wife of Thomas C(ader) LEE, married 5 May 1854. It is time to put to rest the use of this gravemarker to support other identities. This headstone is erroneously transcribed in Hawkins Co., TN Genealogical Society Cemetery Book 1 (1989) as: M. A. LEE, wife of T. G. LEE, died 12 Nov 1774. This has been proven to be an incorrect transcription of the eroded lettering on the stone and such genealogy that was based on the erroneous entry has to be considered invalid. Best regards, Hugh
