He married Mary Wertz (b. about 1795) prior to 1817 in Bedford, Pennsylvania. As far as I can tell they had 7 children. George died prior to January 1846 when his wife, Mary, married Joseph Frantz (also spelled France in some records). I cannot locate any records on George's parents. I have been working on this line for many years and have tried, without success, to find any real records on George. I have been able to locate him in the 1830 Census, and found him in some early Bedford County Tax records but other than that, nothing. I have obtained some information related to his children, including a biography on his son David W. Lee, my gr-gr-grandfather's brother's son, which details some of the family history, but it does not give any information beyond George. It does, however, state that this family is related to Robert E. Lee and General Fitz-Hugh Lee, but I have been unable to trace that line because I cannot figure out who George's parents are!! I really am desperate to try to find this information. I am a member of the Bedford County Historical Society but have found no help there. I have all of their books and have not found what I am looking for there. I have the book "The Lee's of Virginia" but have not found the answer there either...I think if I can figure out who his parents are, this book will help, but I need to get to that point first. I would greatly appreciate any help at all!! I just don't know where to turn now!! Thank you very much!! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
