James Lee (b. 1770, d. December 25, 1837)
Notes for James Lee:
Information on the second marriage of James Lee b. ca. 1806 shows his father was born Ireland and his mother born England. Naturally this refers to James Lee and wife Nancy Mayse. That being true, then no birthrecords would exist in the United States for either of them.
See notes on second wife of James Lee, Lucy Shelton.
In the absence of further birth information on the parents of James Lee b. ca 1804, there is information on the will of Nancy Mayse Lee, who appears to be certainly the wife of James Lee b. before 1770. Her will was of record in 1841, appearing in "Early Kentucky Wills," Jillson.
From that source, that information:
LEE, NANCY. Nov. 8, 1841. c. 1841. Legatees: Ferraby Johnson, Nancy Cox, James Lee, Hannah Rose, George Lee, William Johnson, Isaac Johnson,Gabe Cox, Port Lee. Wit: P.B. Hopper, William Black.
Children of James Lee and Nancy Mayse are:
- +Nancy Ann Lee, b. 1801, Virginia, d. 1859, Knox County, KY.
