If I read this correctly she was born in 1894 and I believe Robt. E. Lee died in 1870. May have been her mom Arthusa Daves...born 1852. I think he was serving in TX at Fort Mason when the Civil War broke out and he left to go back to (I think) VA. Good Luck, Betty Rhodes Gerth-Martin Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
