Hello, I don't have the names you are looking for exactly, but I think my family could probably be related to yours since so many of the names coincide. I have Henry Ambrose Towell, born 24 March 1858 in Carmi, White County, Illinois. He married Elizabeth Jane "Bettie" Pulliam on the 8th of March 1901 in Riplay County, Mo. They had five children that I am aware of, Allie Lee (b 1902), Issac Ellison (1903-1965), Lowery Wayne (1905-1955), Opal Irene (b 1908), and Earl Floyd (1910-1992). I have that Henry died in Ripley County 11 Aug 1912 and was buried in Union Grove Cemetery in Gatewood, Mo. I am not closely related to this family, I have this information because of their connection to the Pulliam and Bellah families (Elizabeth's parents). If you are interested in that line, please let me know and I will send you information, I also have information on Henry's children's marriages if you would like that. Good luck in your research.

Hi Doreen, Apparently, the George Lee you are asking about is the son of my ancestor by his wife who is not my line. My line is the wife (Elizabeth Holland) that he married after the death of his first wife in 1842. The following is from an article by Jerry Ponder, formerly of Ripley Co.: "George Lee, Jr., born in 1822 in Virginia, married a lady named Minerva, whose last name is not known. They had 4 children: George R. E., James C., S. Druza, and Elizabeth. George, Jr., died in 1852. Minerva died only a few years after and their children were taken by C.N. Kidd and raised. There was no record of any of them after 1860 except for George R. E. Lee who married Mrs. Ann Payne in May, 1869, and lived briefly in Butler County. " I do not know his sources. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Hope someone else picks up on this and is able to help you.

Betty, I would like to know if the George Lee you mentioned had a wife named Minerva and if so, was she a Freeman? My gr-grandfather's brother, Jacob Freeman, was in the George Lee household during the 1850 Census. Apparently, George and Minerva Lee and Jacob Freeman all died during the 1850s. Jacob was married to Gracy Davis. I would very much appreciate any information you might have. Doreen Pool Lynnwood, WA

Hi Shirley---This is on the website---White and Lime Families Submitted by <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">Charles Edsel White</A>

On the website

I have two from you that I am in the process of coding and uploading into the website. I'm sorry I thought that when you wrote me earlier this week that I had answered that it was on my "to do" list for this week. I'm half way through updating Ripley and hope to have all the new information on before the week is out. I will, as always, send a note to the list with what is new on the site immediately after it is uploaded.
