  • Notes 
    • A biography of John Lee Jr. published in the late 1800s indicates that his grandfather was Joel Lee Sr., b. 1756, a Revolutionary War soldier and that the family was from Richmond, VA. However, John’s marriage record indicates that his father was William and that they were married in Halifax, VA.

      William Lee bought land in 1785 in Halifax Co., Virginia on Hunting Creek, which is in the northern part of the county. (There was another William Lee with land in the south district of Halifax Co., who also had a son named William.)

      From an 1810 Virginia Personal Property Tax list for Patrick Co. and other tax lists, it appears that the family was living in Patrick Co. by 1809 and were gone by 1817.
