The name Arthur Ferney LEE comes from a book called "Happy Heritage" which is not documented. In my research I find that Arthur LEE was the son of Richard LEE of Edgecomb County. He received a gift of land on Town Creek in 1749. He is mentioned in the will of Richard along with other siblings. There are numerous transactions-deeds- in Edgecombe County, between Arthur, Richard Horn and Charles LEE, both nephews, and Simon, his son. Simon is the only son that has been documented. Simon and his wife were in Edgecombe until 1784 when they sold their property. Simon appears in SC in the 1790 census. Timothy recieved land from his father in the will on Little Contenenty Creek. Also mentioned was Sandy Run and Black mingo Creek. This was close to his Uncle Joshua who had land on Contenenty Creek. This land was in Dobbs County in 1760's and after in Duplin. Timothy was found in Dobbs County along with Arthur , David, Needham, James, LAzarus and John. With the exception of Arthur and David, this group was in Georgetown and Williamsburgh Districts and later called Marion and Williamsburgh Counties. There is a David and Arthur LEE and Children in Sumter who are obviously related to this group but I'm not sure how. I believe that they are descended from Timothy rather than Arthur. Needham and Timothy both received land in SC in 1772. I now believe that Timothy went on to WIlkes County, GA along with John Lot and Jeremiah Folsom, both were neighbors in Duplin, and one received a grant on the Pee Dee River the same time that Timothy did. I find Timothy in 1790 with property in Wilkes County. Moses of Georgetown District ,SC 1790 census is also in Wilkes County. For this reason I have included Moses and Sherwood(Sherrod) under Timothy. A relationship is definitely shown between Sherwood and Needham, son of Timothy, ans Sherwood and Moses. With the exception of these two(Moses and Sherwood) all else can be verified--time and place in somes cases. Richard LEE of Edgecombe died in 1756. He has been called Dr. in some research, but I've never been able to document this. I have found through several lines the name "DOc" as a nickname, so that is a possibility. I think that it is possible that he was married to a Bryan , the sister of Needham and William. William , I think the brother of Needham, lived close to Richard. This could possibly explain the name of Needham in the line of Timothy. Unconnected LEe's to this group Ferney and Elijah LEE both in Williamsburgh District with the Williamsburgh Group. I hope this helps. If anyone has documented corrections I would like to have them.
