Harriet Williamson 18 Mar 1838 Russell Co., AL, was found in the Macon Co., AL 1840 census, but had moved to Beinville Parrish, LA by 1850.

Other notes are from David Davis, desc of John A. Lee. John A. Lee arrived in Randolph Co. abt 1850 He married 1st: 20 May 1852 Mary Ann Rigsby dau. of Samuel Rigsby and Rebecca Adams. They had Hershel, and while she was pregnant with their second child, he divorced her,abt 1854. She moved to southern Ga. into the house of grandfather, Allen Rigsby,either to Blakely, Early Co. or to Bain-bridge, Decatur Co. She named this child John A. Lee. John A. Lee married 2nd:Mary Ann Frith on 2 Nov 1857. They had John A., Nanny, Claude and at least 4 other children. Birth Record for Claude: 1875 Birth Record: Date of birth: June 12,1876 Full name of child: Claud Mclester Lee, sex male; # of other children 9; Color white; Place of birth: city of Cuthbert,Ga.; Mothers maiden name: Mary Ann Frith;Mother's birth place Cuthbert,Ga.;Age 38 Mother's residence: Cuthbert, Ga.;Full name of father: John Anderson Lee; Birth place: Butler Co., Ala.

Hershel moved first to Newton Co.,Al., then was given property in Dothan,Al. to go there as a brickmason. There is an orbit on the Tarrant Co., TX genweb site that says : ARLINGTON JOURNAL THURSDAY---MARCH 7, 1907 Mr. and Mrs. John Boothe attended the funeral of J.A. Lee, cousin of Mr. Boothe at Ft. Worth last Tuesday afternoon. There is more than one John A. Lee in Tarrant Co., TX. at that time and I'm not sure this one is ours, and have not found a connection with any other lines. Family history is that the father of these children was a Methodist circuit rider. He married Alice Talent? in Macon Ga. 1807. He died when most of the children were minors, and their mother had no resources to raise her family, and other people finished raising them, and she remarried and moved to NC. William Lee's children said their father had told them that he had another sister, and after he was grown he looked for her, but never found her. Family history also said that William's father was a vet of the Revolutionary War. The family bible did not note William Lee's parents names. I have not found any census that I can be sure is the parents of William Lee. Sorry this is so long. I would be interested in any more info that may pertain to this family. I learned that the FHL has also microfilmed the Macon Co. AL files. I called to order the microfilm. It will be at least two weeks before I will have access to it. If there is anything more that I can help you with about this family, please let me know.

I have done a lot of research on LEE's in the Macon, Lee, Chambers and Russell Co, AL. William L. LEE, b. 12 Feb 1851, GA was an orphan in 1868 when he married Winnie ELKINS in LEE Co, AL, 10 Dec 1868. He is buried in Pierce Chapel Cemetery, Opelika, Lee Co, AL, d. 30 Apr 1915. He is my wifes gr, gr, grandfather. In your note, are you referring to this information that i found in Macon Co, AL below?: The following was found while reviewing the Macon Co, AL, estate case files (loose), 1836-1953 Kinder, Johnson- Lewis, I. Cook Film 2034167 Administration Bond, dated 23 Jul 1839 appointing Asa LEE as Administrator for the Estate of Green LEE. Asa LEE John M. PUGH and J. G. B. ADAMS are shown as bound to John P.

JONES, Judge of the County Court for Macon Co, AL for sum of $2,000. ------------------------------------ Hi Lorraine, Which set of LEE'S in Brownwood, Texas do you have info. on? My g-g-ggrandfather William Lee, b. 1818 in Ga. (lived in Alabama until 1877) migrated to Brownwood, Brown Co., Texas.  All of his children moved with him. He married Mary Elizabeth Young in Barbour County Alabama in 1851. By 1870 they had moved to Baker Co. Al. (later renamed Chilton Co.) . I have not found him in any census before 1860. I believe his father was John Anderson LEE, who died in Macon Co., Alabama in 1839.  I need to order a microfilm  from the LSD Library to see in any more info was in the loose papers of the estate of Green Lee, Administrator Asa Lee dated July 1839, or when Asa Lee was appointed guardian of his younger brothers and sisters. Asa Lee was found in the Macon County censusin 1840. Thank you. Marie David Pope 2407 Hodges Bend Circle Sugar Land, TX 77479 281/980-8893 (Home) 713/412-1903 (Cell) [email protected]
