My Great grandfather was somewhat of an enigma, leaving as little impact on this earth (beyond eight children) as he possibly could. Where exactly he came from is question- able as in one census it is stated that he was born in England to Irish-born parents but 10 years later, he states that he was born in Ireland in County Monaghan. In the meantime, he married three times. 1. PATRICK LEE (B. circa 1854, Co. Monaghan, Ireland or Eng., d. ? came to U.S. with sister MARY who married here and became Mary Lee McCABE. 2.m.AGNES McCARTHY, 1875/76, Bridgeport, CT.

Goshen, NY 1891, John, b.1892/3, Goshen, NY, d.? Jamess J., b. 1894, Goshen NY; Robert, b. 1895, Goshen, NY, d.? Ann Carragher died in 1899 while living in Goshen NY and Patrick, out of a sense of duty and /or obligation to the youngest children, married Ann's sister, Mary Carragher on October 1, 1899. There was a funeral in the family around 1905 (possibly that of James') and that was the last time anyone saw Patrick Lee. My Grandfather, William Lee, in fact never knew of P. Lee's marriage to Mary Carragher until he was so informed in 1924! Not a very close knit group of Lees. If there is anyone who can help me by filling in some of the gaps, I would appreciate it.
