I wonder if this is the LEE family that that other guy who matched your DNA was from? You know that General Thomas SUMTER was from Augusta Co., VA? One of my ancestors; Alexander McDONALD, a 6th great grandfather who went to Jefferson Co., TN from Augusta Co., VA; sued him for something and won. It's in Chalkley's Chronicles of Augusta Co., VA that's online. Now, Statesburg is in Sumter Co. just below where I live by about 15 miles or so. That's where Thomas SUMTER lived, so they were probably neighbors. I have Mary LEE in my db. She married William Brittain JONES. Their son Anthony Lee JONES married Mary Janes PLOWEN, d/o Miles Hampton PLOWDEN and Martha Lenoir DICKEY, d/o James DICKEY and Leonora "Leah" LENOIR. I have DICKEY ancestors and he's related, but I haven't tracked him down yet. Leah LENOIR was the d/o Thomas LENOIR, Jr. and Martha Blanche ATKINSON, and Thomas LENOIR, Jr. was the brother of my 7th great grandmother Ann "Nancy" LENOIR WESTMORELAND in Greenville Co., SC. ----- Original Message ----- From: "joane cardinal-schubert" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2004 1:59 PM Subject: Re: [LEE] LEE, Richard Henry of SC, LEE, Anthony b. abt 1750, LEE, Timothy > Thanks very much very interesting - but what of the other son William Lee...? > regards jcs > > At 12:25 pm -0400 01/9/04, [email protected] wrote: > >Following is an item that I found on my recent visit to the Salt lake City > >LDS Library.
