Dear Ruth, My LEE ancestors lived on the border between Tallapoosa County an Coosa County Alabama, in Equality, Coosa County, Alabama. My ancestor was Isaiah Lee and Demarias (Dorman) Lee. Isaiah was born I think possibly in Richland, County South Carolina in 1806. Demarias was born in Sampson County, North Carolina in 1817. They were married in Pike County Alabama in 1836 (a second marriage for both of them). I believe that Thomas "Jordan" Lee (born about 1775 in Scotland), raised in Richland County, S. C. and died in Tallapoosa County Alabama in 1848 was Isaiah's father. I have no proof, but I'm actively seeking informaiton. Thomas "Jordan" Lee's wife was Liddia Hodge. Guess what, you're in luck! According to some family books written by the family of Genie Gardner Lee, Edwin was one of Thomas "Jordan" Lee's children. Please tell me what you think, or if you know anything. Linda Jones
