Hi there.
I am doing research for my step dad, Jackie R. Lee. He doesn't know a whole lot about his Lee roots as he ran away from home at age 14. I hope you are able to help me help him.

Here's a brief lineage begining with My step dad's grandfather --

Laura died during or shortly after Perlie was born. No info on date or burial. John married a little over a year later - 12/1/1913- to 2nd wife

-John Winston Lee (JW) b. 9/29/1938 in Hardin Co., Tx (LIVING)

---------------------

NOTE- According to John Fletcher Lee's obituary, he had a brother named Ed Lee. This is the first and last documentation of any other siblings besides Sarah E. Lee. I imagine Ed was possibly born in Dade Co., GA --- but I am just guessing.

I am trying to get further info on all of my step dad's siblings (from all 3 of his Father, John Fletcher Lee's marriages. This guy (John) began having kids in 1892 and continued til his 15th child was born in Sept. 1938. To me that is just amazing--The oldest child was 46 when the youngest was born.

----

I would also like to get info on the family tree prior to John Wesley Lee. I think that this Lee lineage is connected to Robert E. Lee and would appreciate any and all help you are able to give. If you know of anyone else researching this family -- please forward my email along to them.
