Hi Clifford, Lee County was formed in 1907 from Moore and Chatham counties. The boundary, prior to 1907, between Moore Co. and Chatham Co. was an extension of the current Moore Co. and Chatham Co. boundary eastward from Carbonton to the Harnett County boundary at the Cape Fear River. The area of Lee County which includes Sanford, Broadway, Lemon Springs and Tramway was originally a part of Moore County. The area of Lee Co. north of Sanford was originally part of Chatham County. I am not familiar enough with the political geography of 1907 to provide you with the townships in Moore Co. and Chatham Co. which were involved in the formation of Lee County. Hope this will help.
