This Mattie Lee is shown on the 1870 census of Brown Co., Ill. and the 1880 census of Lewis Co., Missouri. This Mattie Lee's grandparents were Alexander Wright, born abt. 1820 in Upper Canada or New York and Matilda Jones, born abt. 1818 in Pennsylvania. Below is a website with more information. http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2577441&id=I539677534 Hope this helps. If this is the family and you find information farther back, please let me know. I am a descendant of Mattie's cousin. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
