....... Looking for the parents of Thomas LEE, Prince William County resident from 1827 until his death around 1880. He was born about 1805. Thomas first appears in personal tax records in 1827 and in census records in 1830. He married Malinda/Verlinda (both spellings are prevalent) about 1830. Had 6 children, two of whom died during the war (Albert Brawner LEE and Richard Minor LEE). His wife died 22 Dec 1858; don't think he ever remarried. I have been unable to find his ancestry. It looks like he may have migrated into PW county; he owned no land, but seems to have been a tenant farmer his entire life. In later life, personal tax records show he owned a horse, a cow, a clock and a pocket watch. He wasn't well off, but did okay. I can find no record of a will for himself nor any of his children. Does anybody have a Thomas LEE in their lines meeting these specs? How about an extra Thomas LEE on a family branch? I'll take anything! I'm scraping here! --Jim Biloxi Mississippi .......
