I've traced my great grandfather back (managed to scale a brick wall
recently) and John & Nancy are either his grandparents or his parents.
Either way, I'd like to find more about them. I have their marriage
date, and a list of their children. I THINK their son John is actually
the father of my great grandfather because of the ages and the gap in
years between children. This is a real find for me, as I'd begun to
think that my mother's family dropped out of nowhere!
John Lee, b. about 1810 in NC
Nancy Spade about 1821 in IN
married 10-7-1845 in Pike County IN
children:
Edward (probably from first marriage, or brother to John) bet 1832-1837
Maria abt 1840
John abt 1844 (John's wife may have been Laura Wilkey)
Deide Lee (sometimes called Diedre in census records) abt 1846
(Deide married William Lorton- Pike County IN)
Nelley (various spellings - once even as Ellen) abt 1849
Elizabeth b. Mar 1855
Lucinda abt 1851
My great grandfather, WILLIAM FRANKLIN LEE (b. 1870 d. 1911) was in the
home of Nancy Spade and her second husband, John Clark for the 1880
census. Birth dates lead me to believe that he is the son of the
younger John & Nancy.
Can you help me?
