Researching MAMMIE LEE (STRICKLAND)... LEE Family - of Johnston County, NC in 1900; Sampson County, NC 1880. Several members of this family later settled in Cumberland County, NC after 1900. Anyone out there know of this LEE family or have access to the NC1880 Sampson County NC Census for Westbrook Twp? I have reviewed all of the US Census and WW1 documentation images that are transcribed below, but have no access to the NC census info. I have pasted my research results below... Our family history is that MAMMIE LEE (listed living in household of Sallie A. Lee in US1900 - age 15,) was at LEAST 1/2 Cherokee. Descendants of JESSE LEE, Mammies brother, state that Jesse & Mammies grandparents (maternal???) came from the mountains / reservation. As with many Native American wives / mixed families at the time - they are all listed as "white" in the Census. MAMMIE LEE, listed below, was my Ggrandmother and died in 1903 at 18 yrs of age. I cannot locate her place of burial, and this is all of the research I have on her, after a decade of searching. Her brothers IRA WHITFIELD LEE and JAMES CLAUDE LEE are buried here in Cumberland County at the Old BAREFOOT private cemetary in Western Cumberland County. I located and visited it about a year ago. Her closest brother - JESSE LEE is buried here in West Cumberland County, in the family Cemetary across from the Church he built with his own hands. MAMMIE LEE married GEORGE WILLIAM STRICKLAND, and died after the birth of her only child - my grandfather, WILLIAM BRASCO STRICKLAND. There is also CHEROKEE and other Native blood in the STRICKLAND Line.

Both NC Census (abstract/transcript only) & WW1 Registration Card (image) James C's birthday as 1 May 1880. - Need access to 1880 NC - Sampson County - Westbrook Twp. Census image to see who else was living in the home to determine if Jesse (and which one) is his father or grandfather. James is not listed in Jesse (age 46) & Henrietta LEE's home in US1880; page 399; No listing available for James C. Lee in US1880 Indexes or Census electronic searchs.
