To the Nobles: I have limited time to respond to your query, but I suggest the following: Go to: http://members.tripod.com/~LeeHouse/Jlx-home.htm There you will find the following statements: John LEE, Esq. (JLX) of Johnston Co., NC (ca.1695-ca.1767)/ Welcome to the JLX Researcher's Group/ Over 100 "Researching Cousins" working together/ Over 10,000 Descendant names on file (& growing almost daily)/ Both "Team" & "Individual" research on specific goals There is a wealth of data at this site. You can also download a large GEDCOM file on John Lee X and his descendants down trough a number of generations. Unfortunately, there are errors in this work. These errors are hard to find and hard to correct because there is absolutely no documentation or sources cited. It seems strange to me that a group of researchers would devote such energy and time to a specific research project like this and provide no documentation or source data. Oh well, it will be a help to you just as it is. Also, the Johnston Co History Room or Genealogical Library has a huge collection of John Lee Esq research data. Several life-long Lee researchers, now deceased, compiled their Lee research before they died. These compilations are bound and in the Johnston Co History Room. These volumes do have documentation, sources, reasoning, evidence etc. In other words, you can track the ideas and reasoning of the researchers if you ever get a chance to see this material. There are also family stories, speculations, various sides of the debate, etc. The bad news is that I do not know where you can find this material except in Johnston Co, NC, but I suspect that other libraries have copies because some of these researchers lived in other states. They collaborated with each other over the years and even paid researchers in other places to help them find clues and evidence. I have found these to be great fun to read, even though I am not a Lee researcher except as the Lees touch my Ingram and Avera lines. The good news is that a few years back some present day Lee researchers culled this material and added their own data to develop a descendancy chart. Subsequently, they published introductory information about John Lee Esq along with three generations of his descendants. This was published in three volumes of the Johnston Co Genealogical and Historical Society Journal, which is reasonably available in various libraries. The dates of publication are: Summer 1996, Vol. 22. No 2, Fall 1996, Vol. 22 No 3, and Winter 1996, Vol. 22, No 4. The ISBN is 0737-4321. Unfortunately, this series also contains errors, but many are corrected in subsequent Volumes of the Journal as other Lee researchers found them and wrote in. This series contains no documentation or source citations either so the Journal shares this in common with the GEDCOM mentioned above. Also the Journal and the GEDCOM do not always agree with each other. Note, however, if I am not mistaken, I have shared with you in the past the data that I culled from these sources and several primary documents in the NC Archives about you specific interest in the two Lee women who married the William Ingram who went to AL. Good luck on your continued research.
