Subject: Re: [LEE] Greenberry Lee's grandchildren Hugh, this is what I've always believed. What's it going to take to prove it? I am willing to travel anywhere as soon as the weather is better. How do you think this John Lee fits in? From Holcomb, B.H., "Petitions for Land from the South Carolina Council Journals, Vol. 3, 1752-1753", SCMAR, published 1997, pg. 110. Pages 564-565,"The petition of Francis Lea humbly setting forth that the Peti'r is desirous of erecting a Mill for y'e Grinding wheat and making flower and hath found a proper place to build the same on Rockey Creek on the Waters of the Wateree River, and as he is very old his son begs leave to appear for him, and as he never had any land in his own personal right, prays to layout 50 acres of land at Rockey Creek aforesaid and that a Grant may issue to him for the same. Ch's Town, the 6th Nov'r 1752. For my Father John Lea. The prayer thereof was granted.
