LEE as John and Susannah (WARFIELD) LEE from Baltimore, MD (m 21 December 1811) Also brothers or sisters of Sansom. Family moved from PA to Ohio abt 1839. Sansom and at least one brother became potters. Lived for awhile in Iowa. Sansom m 1st Esther Lemvilla Hargett (b Ohio 1830), 2nd Hatttie Sheldon (b Indiana) >> This would be the same John and Susannah LEE I'm researching. According to one researcher I've been in contact with, they were in Summit Co. OH by 1839. They were quite possibly the parents of my Mary LEE b ca1813 in MD. I think they were in OH there a bit earlier because Mary wed in Wayne Co. to John W. GALLATINE in 1833. There is a Susannah LEE the right age (60 b MD) in the 1850 census in Summit or Medina (I have it as Medina in one place and Summit elsewhere-- I'll go back to the library and double check.) However the other researcher checked a will for a John LEE in Summit and it wasn't his. She was going to get the Wayne Co. John LEE's will but I haven't heard back about it. Yes, I believe Sansom was their son. There is a Sansom is in Summit Co, in the 1850 census with a Josiah LEE and with George LEE b 1818 MD and John B. LEE b MD 1811 (we're sure these are John & Susannah's sons). There's also a very young Susanna LEE living with the Shoemakers. We know Geo. & John went to IOWA to be potters. Along with them was a Hazel WARFIELD. He was Susannah's brother. Another son was William LEE b 24 Jul 1823 Washinton Co, PA he md 1st Harriet TUCKER 1846 Then in Iowa Patricia DOWELL They had: Clayton LEE Alta America LEE Geo. Washington LEE and seven more I don't have My line is off of Mary LEE and John W. GALLATIN-- and I still haven't confirmed that Mary was John and Susannah's daughter. She may also have been the daughter of Col. Joshua LEE and Susannah STANSBURY. Joshua may have been John's brother. The STANSBURY's and WARFIELD's were closely aligned. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any insite on Mary. Thank-you, Cathy CVPloeg@aol.com
