My brother, Clinton Lee, took the DNA test and submitted it to Ancestry com. I emailed those who were the closest matches but have had no replies. I'll check on the Lee family you mentioned. I found a John B Lee who obtained some land in St. Helena in 1860. Since this is my dad's name maybe a relative?

Lois: St. Helena is a hint. Maybe these guys were tied to the Lees of Union Co, SC who came into St. Helena and down into Livingston in the 1790's. Distant cousins? DNA should tell you... there are profiles for the Union Co line and the William "Fairfax" Lee line (which are connected somehow) at the Ancestry.com site. I take it that you/Clinton did not go through David Lee, the coordinator for the Lee project at Ancestry.com. There are some advantages to doing it that way, one of which is that it is a bit easier to get in touch with researchers for whomever you match. But there are ways around that... Dennis P.S. My guys came up from the St. Gabriel area into Gonzales/Sorrento, where all of them were born up to my generation. Come to think of it, I may be the first of my line to be born in EBRP. The Union Co bunch came across, then down through Natchez into St. Helena and Livingston. -----Original Message----- From: lee-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:lee-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of gc-gateway@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 2:38 PM To: LEE@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [Lee] Benjamin Franklin Lee This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
