Hi all--- I know at one time, Patty Smoot was working on the LEE/LEA line in Tuscaloosa Co., AL and I had corresponded regarding th smilarity of naming patterns that we found in our lines. Well, I finally got a hold of the volumes of Gandrud's AL Records which discuss these LEE/LEAs and amazingly, I also discovered a deed from Samuel STEADMAN to his grandchildren which linked the Tuscaloosa LEE/LEAs to my Marion & Fayette Co., bunch. And now, I can't get in touch with Patty! Aaaargh! Is anyone else researching this line? The migration path seems to be: ? > NC before 1797 > GA before 1829 > after 1830 St. Clair, Tuscaloosa, and then Marion and Fayette Counties, AL William LEE Lewis LEE (Circa 1760/1770 - Circa 1830/1840) Benjamin LEE (About 1797 - About 1860) & Margaret (Peggy) STEADMAN (1787 - ) David LEE (About 1823 - 1875/1880) & Mary (?)
