Freda and Other Interested Lee/Ingram Researchers, I returned home from work and decided to pull out some old notes that I made long ago on the descendents of John Lee, Sr. Esq. At that time, I was mainly interested in John Lee Esq's descendents who went to TN. I was particularly interested in the Ingram to Lee marriages that wound up in TN and then AR and/or IL. But I also made notes on the Lee to Ingram marriages that went to AL. Among this material, I found the following notes on the children of Jeremiah Lee and Elizabeth Avera. My notes are as follows: The marriage of Jeremiah Lee to Elizabeth Avera seems well documented. Their marriage is documented by a Marriage Bond dated 18 Jan 1790 in Johnston Co NC. Jeremiah Lee was the son of Edward Lee and the grandson of John Lee, Esq. Jeremiah's Will was signed 1 May 1823 and probated 1824. It documents that Elizabeth Avera Lee was still alive and names, among other things, the following children. [Note: I just now noticed that Barnaby Ingram was one of the Executors of Jeremiah Lee's Will. Barnaba Ingram signed his Johnston Co NC Will 31 Jan 1833. His wife was Edith Altman. He names a William Ingram in his Will as a son and lists him first, but only left him $1. Why only $1?? Barnaba Ingram was the son of Shadrack Ingram and the great grandson of John Lee Sr. Esq. However, a marriage date of 28 Jan 1797 for Barney Ingram to Edith Altman, the parents of this William Ingram, seems to rule them out as the parents of Nancy Lee Johnson Ingram's husband, William Ingram. The William Ingram who married Nancy Lee Johnson is generally thought of as having been born in 1790. Does anyone know the reason for this? I assume it is from a Tombstone or Bible record.] The children seem to be named in Jeremiah Lee's Will in birth order. Other information about them is from the "Johnston County Genealogical and Historical Society Journal," 1996 and other records in the NC Archives. 1) Winifred Lee, b. about 1792. Married first David George and second Jeremiah Blackman. She is a Blackman in her father's Will. 2) Nancy Lee, b. about 1796 and died about 12 Apr 1856. Married first Littleton Johnson and second William Ingram. There is a Marriage Bond in Johnston Co NC supporting a marriage date of 20 Jan 1823. She was in Dallas Co AL by 1850. She is Nancy Ingram in her father's Will. This confirms that Bethana Lee Ingram had died prior to 20 Jan 1823. Bethana Lee Ingram's heirs inherited in her father's (John Lee, Sr) 1835-Will. [Note that I misread the Will Abstract for John Lee Sr (1835) before sending my earlier note on Bethana Lee Ingram and William Ingram and had assumed that she was still living in 1835 when her father signed his Will. Sorry for any confusion that this might have caused.] 3) Esther Lee, b. about 1790/1800. Married Thomas Allen Jr. She is Esther Allen in her father's Will. 4) Hardy Lee, b. about 1800. Married Leanna Lee, daughter of Westbrook Lee. Hardy possibly went to AL also. 5) Nicholas Lee, b. about 1804. Married Mary "Polly" Allen in 1827.. She apparently was the daughter of Gideon and Esther Johnson Allen. 6) Isaac McD Lee, b. about 1805/10. Married first Polly Fail and second Rachel _____. He was in Butler Co AL by 1840. 7) Alexander Lee, b. about 1805/10. Married Elizabeth Fail. He was in AL by 1836. 8) Henry "Harry" Lee, b. about 1810. Married Elizabeth Jane Lee. She was the daughter of Samuel Lee and Mary Rhodes Lee. He was in Wilcox Co AL by 1834. Any suggestions or corrections would be appreciated. I am very curious who the parents of William Ingram, married to Bethana Lee and then to Nancy Lee Johnson, were?? Franklin Ingram > > Gail, I have written to you directly, sending you my Ingram info.
