are there any known connections to the Richard and William Blunt families (c. 1700-1800) of the Smithfield area and Fishing Creek (not the Blounts of Tenessee, but descendants changed to Blount in Jones Co, GA, c. 1820)? the name Lee recurrs in the family and i've never found any familial connections .. the Blount families settled in and around Chambers Co, AL, by the 1820's to 1850's thanks ----- Original Message ---- From: Stephanie Ray <sray@netnuevo.com> To: NCJOHNST-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 5:30:49 PM Subject: Re: [NCJOHNST] Lee families of Johnston Co., NC>Chambers Co., AL Hello: I am a descendant of Captain Thomas Lee of Johnston County, NC and Hawkins County, TN. I believe his father was John Lee, Esq. of Johnston County. Do you think there could be any ties between the two men and Boykin? gc-gateway@rootsweb.com wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: RCRAIGFOSTER > Surnames: > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.johnston/2452.3/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > Sandy, > maybe I can help you out with some information on Boykin Lee, my Great(4) Grandfather (1806-1886) born in Smithfield in Johnston, North Carolina.  I would guess he was a younger brother or first cousin of James W.
