Surnames: KELLEY, LEE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZNB.2ACI/147.250.1 Message Board Post: In the 1880 Ripley Co MO census the James and Rebecca Kelley appear with children Dana, Nancy A and Thomas L. In addition there are 4 grandchildren: Mary Lee, Rosa Lee, William Lee and Ora Lee. Do you have any information on these Lee children? I'm trying to find the right family of my husband's great-grandmother Rhoda Dora 'Rosy' Lee Skidmore. We know that she had a sister Mary Jane and a brother James Edward. The family I was told that she belonged cannot be found in the 1880 census, at least under the Lee surname, The Lee grandchildren in the Kelley family seem too coincidental as Mary and Rosa are the right ages and William is the right age for James Edward. I never have been told about a possible 4th child, but Rosy's children seemed to keep quiet about their mother's family. Don't know why. For years we thought that Rosy only had a brother and no sister and then learned from one great-aunt that her mother did have a sister and named the family. I almost wanted to scream due to the number of years researching for a Lee family with only 2 children rather than at least 3. Thanks in advance. Debbi
