My Lee ancestors lived in NY state, then moved to Ontario, Canada, then headed south and west - through Ohio, ending up in SW Michigan. Ephraim Lee, b. 1755, Catskill, Greene, New York married: Jerusha Palmer (b. CT) James Lee, b. 1798, Greenfield, Saratoga, New York married: Elizabeth McVeigh, Elizabethtown, Leeds County, Canada. (Elizabeth's parents were Benjamin McVeigh and Lavina Hewett) William Lee, b. 1818, Elizabethtown, Leeds County, Canada William married Maria Fox in Ohio about 1840. I have more recent information - of the folks in Michigan, which I have gained from my own research. The info I shared above came from another person on the ancestry.com website. I have done the Family Finder test with Family Tree DNA. Among my cousin matches, I can see an Irish strain. Tell me more about why you know the Lee's were Irish. It might help me coordinate with what I'm seeing in my Family Finder matches. Thanks for posting! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
