Lee" came to their home on his way to Mexico to go into battle. But a little bit of historical investigation tells me the Mexican-American War was 1846-48. Then again in 1861 when Texas seceded from the Union Lee was serving at Fort Mason TX. R.E. Lee died in October of 1870. The witnesses to his visit would have had to be her parents. Do you know whether he visited them in GA or TX...if you are having a problem finding them and they are not in GA in 1860...look at the 1860 Federal Census for Texas. Good Luck.
