As you know, page 445 of "History of the Carlock Family", by Marion Pomeroy
CARLOCK, 1929, says that Mary Ann LEE, wife of Abraham CARLOCK, was the daughter of
William and Ruth LEE of Virginia, and that "William Lee was a brother of
'Light-Horse Harry' Lee of the Revolution; she was a first cousin of General
Robert E. Lee ..."
I also have a copy of the book "From Log Cabins to the White House -- A History of
the Taylor Family", by Mary TAYLOR BREWER, 1985. A chapter on the LEE family appears
on pages 273 - 278. Page 275 says "Henry LEE, Jr. m. Lucy GAINES, had: 'Light
Horse Harry' who m. Ann CARTER and had Robert E. LEE."
Assuming that all of this information is correct, this seems to say that William was also
the son of Henry LEE, Jr., and Lucy GAINES.

Subject: Carlock/Lee Conection
Aloha! Has anyone investigated the Carlock/Lee family connection? I am
directly related to Mary Ann Lee Carlock who is purported to be related to
Robert E. Lee in Marion P. Carlock's book on the Carlock family. I can not
get clarification of this from
the Lee family history. In the Carlock Book, the chain to this claim is
through her father William...I can not find who's son he is in the Lee family
lineage. If anyone has any info on this, I would greatly appreciate hearing
from them. Thank You, Joy Hofer
