Message Board Post:
Sometime in 1968 there was an article in Bloomington, In. newspaper titled
"Granddaughter of General Lee Entertains at Hospitality House" which said that
Mrs. Mae Lee Everett, formerly of Solsberry, but then of Elwren in Monroe Co. was a great
granddaughter of General Robert E. Lee, but info. on
Rootsweb.com says otherwise.
Her grandfather was Thomas G. Lee b. 3/22/1822 Ohio d. 3/28/1864 Rush Co.,In. & her
father was William M. Lee b. 9/7/1852 Rush Co.,In. d. 8/7/1883 Linn Co.,Ks.
Her obituary in Bloomington, In. newspaper says her full name was Bertha May Lee & her
husband was William H. Everitt & she was buried in Solsberry Cemetery in Greene
Co.,In.
May was living on 1900 census in Indpls. with mother & step father Rosa & William
Best & on 1920 & 30 census with husband Wm. H. Everett in Greene Co.,In., Beech
Creek Twp.
Could not find on 1910 census.
