Greetings, We are new to this list and began our genealogy search as a Boy Scout genealogy merit badge project. Our family is a group of farmers that we can track pretty well from 1860 in Mississippi as they moved into NE Arkansas, but haven't been able to find much on the parents or siblings of Benjamin Franklin Lee. From oral family history, bibles, headstones, obituaries, vital records and census records we have learned this much. Perhaps it will help you and you can connect with us. Best regards, Darcy Lee Howard Mabelvale, AR John T. Lee was born in South Carolina about 1816. He married Harriet, who was born in Alabama about 1822.
