We have Lee and Stephen mentioned in the Ovilla, Texas History Book. Stephen had a sister Susan Ann, and brothers James E. and Robert L. Smith. We have the cemetery lists but their names are not mentioned. It states that Lee moved to Waxahachie and had the first shoe shop in that town. The book is still available for $50 plus $4 shipping.
