I checked my NC 1790 Census Index They list 116 Lee's for NC and only two Edward Lee. *1. Edward Lee in Johnston Co. Film M637_7, Image 0593 2. Edward Lee in Sampson Co. Film M637_7, Image 0414 If you knew or could ask someone who belongs to Ancestry.Com, give them information maybe they would look it up for you. If your dates are correct or close for birth Mary Allen should be around 60 at the 1790 census and Edward would be 64. ======================================= 1800 Johnston Co.
