Hi all; I'm back. I was a part of this list about 2 years ago. I was working on my Blood Line connections. My Father passed away last summer 25 Jul 2001, he almost made 91 lacking about 6 weeks. I put my Blood Line on the "back burner" for awhile and concentrated on my Rodgers line. There I have hit some "brick walls", so I decided to come back and intensify my search for my Mary LEE. I just spent a couple of weeks in Utah traveling to the Genealogy Library and the Joseph Smith Memorial Bldg where the Family Histories are kept. (From where I was staying in American Fork, it would take me 3 1/2 to 4 hours each day, round trip with buses and TRAX to get there) A couple of years ago, someone sent me a copy of an article on the LEE Family from a Bradford County History Book and the article was written by a Rev. Earl L. Smith. In his article he mentions that if you want to know more, see his book A LEE TREE. Well, the Family History Library had that book and several more on d! ifferent LEE's in the U.S. I found my Darlington Worrell who had married a Sarah LEE from Covington, Tioga, PA. They had 4 children, two who died in infancy. Darlington and Sarah LEE Worrell's first child was Mary Frances b.7 Jun 1849 in Covington, second child, who died in infancy was James Mifflin b. 17 Oct 1851, third child, who died in infancy was Ella Jennetta b. 26 Mar 1854 and their last child was Charles Curtis b. 27 Mar 1855. Sarah Susannah LEE was b. 21 Jun 1826 in Homer, Cortland, NY. She married Darlington E. Worrell 5 Nov 1847 and Sarah died 10 Aug 1855. She is buried in the Covington Cemetery at "the edge of town"? These LEE's came from Homer, Cortland, NY and originally came from Lyme, New London, CT. Rev. Smith's book then says that he "did not know what became of Darlington, whether he moved or died". Well I know what happened to Darlington. After Sarah died he married a Mary LEE in Bradford, PA and had a child James H. Worrell b. Nov 1856 in Troy,! Bradford, PA. Mary died in Aug of 1857 in Troy. Darlington then moves to Pleasantville, Venango, PA and dies 12 Feb 1858. Now we have 3 children under the age of 9, one being a baby not yet 2, with NO PARENTS . My secondary question is where did the children go? I am in the process of checking Orphan Court records right now and eventually I will figure this out. My main question is this: Who is this Mary LEE? I'm not sure but for right now I cannot connect her to the LEE's in Tioga that came from Homer, that came from Lyme. I now know through my research, that she is NOT connected to the Bradford LEE's that came from Rensselaer, NY. Were there any other LEE's in the area at this time? I am guessing that Mary LEE would have been born, no later than 1835? Darlington was b. 15 Jun 1819 in Paoli, Chester, PA to Curtis and Mary Howard Worrell. So to recap my questions: 1. Who is this Mary LEE from Bradford? 2. Where did the children go? 3. Are there Orphan Court records of Bradford County on line? Or does someone have a phone number for them? I have found Bradford difficult to research. There is not very much available on line. I would love to come to the Tri-Counties and do some of the "leg work" myself, but I live in Southern Oregon and right now, I don't have any funding to get there. So I must do everything else by phone, mail or otherwise. Thank you to anyone who can help me on my way . . . Lynn W. Hudson GG Granddaughter of Darlington and Mary LEE Worrell
