Hi Nora, I am of the Georgia Lees and curious about which Lee lines you are researching. Yes, we also have had stories handed down about being related to General Robert E. Lee...however, I have been unable to find a connection. It is possible there is a "distant" connection, perhaps, back in England, but nothing substantial at this point.

Lorraine, Your post says you are of the Georgia Lees. Have you found a Frederick Lee who married Ruth Culp in Georgia? They went on to AL, MS and AR. We have a family letter from 1940 that says Frederick Lee, born in NC, married in Georgia, died of a cancer in AL on the Coocy River He married Ruth Culk (or Culp) and had seven children: W. D. Lee J. N. Lee Dr. P. C. Lee David Lee John Thomas Lee (our line) Lizer Lee Nix Rady Lee Price We are following these families. Thanks, Darcy Lee Howard Mabelvale, AR
