    3. All- Based on official SC (colonial) records I have located a John Lee and his father, John, and brother, Francis, along Wateree Creek. John was granted 200 acres as "family right" in 1752. The land was described as on Wateree River in Craven County which later became Chester Co. near the border of Fairfield Co. John in his 1752 petition identifies himself as in SC since 1751, married with one child and a native of Maryland.. A John Lee married Margaret Howard in 1746 in Harford Co., MD. Margaret's grandfather was Nicholas Greenberry of MD. I have a Greenberry Lee who was born Harford Co.. MD and died in Richmond Co., GA in 1784 at age 36 (= b. 1748). His widow, Elizabeth Few, was provided 500 acres in Richmond Co.. GA by John Lee, Sr. in 1786. This John died in 1787. In his 1786 will John cited a wife, Mary, and children, but did not include Greenberry who had died in 1784. In the Cobbs Hall line in VA, there is a Thomas Lee ( Charles of Cobbs Hall , Richard the Immigrant) who m. Elizabeth Keene of Maryland. Thomas had sons, John and Thomas. John was in SC at the time of death in VA of his brother, Thomas . Thomas' will provided that his brother, John, be the executor, but because of the absence of John in SC in 1759 another was appointed.. These separate facts seem to tie together in time, place and name, but not in a documented way. Can anyone provide information to support or refute the possible commonality of these facts. Best regards, Hugh <HFTHusma@aol.com>
