Right you are. I misspoke. I should have said that since didn't know Elmer's father's name I couldn't identify him among the various Lees. There were also lots of Lees in Preston and Scott Townships in 1850. Since Wayne/Starrucca Borough didn't yet exist, probably some of them were in the future borough then as well.
