1.1.5. William Lee
born ca. 1772 < New Jersey >
died ca. 1840s Jackson Co., Alabama
married < prob. Wilkes or Oglethorpe Co., GA ca. 1794 >
Mary _____
born ca. 1775/1780
died ca. 1850s Jackson Co., Alabama
Sources in Wilkes Co., GA and Buncombe Co., NC:
(1) 1793 Tax List Wilkes Co., GA. William was evidently landless and living next to James on this tax list.
(2) 1794 Tax List Wilkes Co., GA living between James Lee and George Glazener.
(3) 1795. William and Mary Lee sell 100 acres of land, now in Oglethorpe Co., previously purchased by James Lee in Wilkes Co., GA.
William would have been about 23 in 1795, and his wife Mary probably was somewhere between 18 and 22.
(4) 1796. William Lee appears on the “1797” Oglethorpe County tax list, which probably was compiled in 1796. He was Person 28 on p. 20, and he owned no land.
(5) Some time before 1800, William and brother Robert follow the Glazener's to Buncombe Co., NC. Father Giles and
brothers James and John had previously moved to Russell Co., VA.
(6) William and Robert Lee were both indicted by North Carolina officials for participating in "riots" in December 1804 during the
"Walton County War", Both evidently fled the region to avoid prosecution. Went to Tennessee and evidently settled close to the Alabama
border. We know this because Robert had a son Daniel born in Tennessee in 1810 and William's son Joshua substituted for him in Lincoln Co.
in 1813 joining the 1st Reg't West Tennessee Militia.
Sources in Alabama:
(1) He is possibly the William Lee on the 1816 Tax List of Madison Co., Miss. Territory.
(2) Daughter Sarah married December 1820 Madison Co., AL
(3) 1822 State Land Survey of Decatur Co., Alabama
(4) 1826 sold cotton to Bell Factory mill in Madison Co. - this being the first cotton mill in the state
(5) 1829 Land Survey of Jackson Co., Alabama
(6) 1830 census Jackson Co., AL p. 137, he lived in T 3 R 3 East Sec 21
(7) 1831 two Federal Land Patents, Jackson Co., Alabama - National Archives Land Case Entry Files.
(8) 1840 and 1850 censuses of Jackson Co., AL
(9) 1861 land patent entered in his name in T 5 R 3 Sec 3. This is land he was squatting on in 1829.
1.1.5.1. Giles Lee
born ca. 1795 (estimated) < Wilkes or Oglethorpe Co. > GA
died ca. 1835/1840 Jackson Co., AL
possibly married
Elizabeth _____
born ca. 1805
Sources:
(1) 1823 State Land Survey of Decatur Co., AL; A land sale for Giles Lee was found in the Alabama State Archives
which was recorded 18 May 1829 in Jackson Co., Alabama near the town of Woodville. This land sale was illegal as the
first Federal land sales did not begin until 1831. The only legal owners were persons owning Indian Reserves. By law,
the owners of these 640 acre Reservations were not allowed to sell the property. Some tried to do so anyway. Giles
probably illegally purchased a portion of the Sutton Stephens Reservation.
(2) Elizabeth Lee, found in 1840 census Jackson Co., Alabama, was probably his widow.
NOTE: Because of William's wife Mary's age, George Washington Lee, below, could possibly be Giles and Elizabeth's son
and raised by his grandparents. George W. is first found in the 1850 census with Mary Lee who is either his mother
or grandmother.
1.1.5.2. Joshua Lee
born ca. 1796 < Wilkes or Oglethorpe Co. > GA
died ca. 1873 Madison Co., AL
married, first, ca. 1816/1819 < prob. Lincoln Co., Tennessee >
Mary _____

died 21 Feb 1842 Jackson Co., AL
buried Lee Cemetery, Jackson Co., AL on property first owned by William Lee
married, second, 10 Sept 1856 Woodville, Jackson, AL (NARA records)
Martha Jane Byrd ... "Janie"
born ca. 1835 AL or MS
died ca. 1880 Huntsville, Madison, AL
Children: 15 known
Sources:
(1) NARA records, Creek War, War of 1812, served as substitute for his father William in first enlistment. He enlisted
as a Pvt in Capt. John Porter's Co. (Wynne's) 1st Reg't W. Tenn. Militia. He mustered in Oct. 3, 1813 Fayetteville, Tenn.
and discharged Jan. 4, 1814 Giles County, Tenn. During this enlistment he helped build Fort Strother on the Coosa River.
Joshua secondly enrolled in the 4th Regiment West Tennessee Militia Infantry in Col. Steele's division at Fayetteville,
Tennessee on the 4th day of October 1814, and was honorably discharged at Nashville, Tennessee on the 15th (about)
day of April 1815.
(2) Joshua offered the following depositions in his applications for Bounty Land. He was a year off on his dates:
"affiant further swears that he is the identical Joshua Lee who was enrolled in Captain John Porter's company on or
about the 1st day of October 1812 at Fayetteville Tennessee and was honorably discharged at _____ in Giles County
Tennessee some time during the Fall of 1813. the day and month not remembered by affiant. The day following the date
he was enrolled he marched to Huntsville Alabama, the day after he reached Huntsville he crossed the Tennessee River
to Camp Coffee, remained sat Camp Coffee about eight days Thence to Coosa River, assisted in building a Fort on said
river named Fort Strother until December 1812, when he returned to Fayetteville Tennessee, at which place he remained
till he received his discharge _____"
NOTES: Camp Coffee was incorrect because it was located south of Florence, Alabama, not Huntsville. He was actually
in camp at Ft. Deposit. Joshua was probably at Camp Coffee on his second enlistment. Fort Strother was a stockade fort at
Ten Islands in the Mississippi Territory, in what is today St. Clair County, Alabama. It was located on a bluff of the Coosa
River, near the modern Neely Henry Dam in Ohatchee The fort was built by General Andrew Jackson and several thousand
militiamen in November 1813, during the Creek War. It was to serve as his base of operations against the Red Sticks.
The final sheet of NARA records tells of his service in Capt. Steel's Company:
"Joshua Lee was enrolled in Captain Steele's division at Fayetteville, Tennessee on the 4th day of October 1814, and
was honorably discharged at Nashville, Tennessee on the 15th (about) day of April 1815. The second or third day after
he enrolled, he marched to Nashville Tennessee, there his company was mounted. remained at Nashville about five days,
marched from Nashville to Fort Williams near the mouth of Tom Bigbee River, remained at the Fort three weeks, thence
to Fort Montgomery, remained at Fort Montgomery about two weeks. His company was a then assigned to the command
of Major Blue and ordered on an active campaign against the Indians, was absent on said company's for forty days. was
then ordered to New Orleans Louisiana, but upon reaching Batonrouge (rest written in margin with part of first line not
scanned) ____ ____ ____ ____ _____ the troops under General Jackson from New Orleans arrived. Thence with the
troops under General Jackson to Nashville Tennessee.
NOTES: Joshua Lee's forty days detached to Major Blue during second enlistment. Before leaving Pensacola for New Orleans,
Gen. Jackson detached 1,000 troops under Major Uriah Blue of the Thirty-ninth U.S. Infantry to neutralize the rebel Creek
Indian pockets along the Escambia River, plunder their camps, and destroy their crops. A fifteen-year veteran of the army,
Blue had veteran soldiers with him which included a battalion of Mounted Tennessee riflemen. Sergeant Davy Crockett
served as scout. After attacking several enemy camps, they were forced to return to Fort Mitchell north of Mobile on
January 9, 1814 due to a lack of supplies and bad weather. They had traveled 100 miles into enemy territory, destroyed
camps, killed some fifty Red Sticks, and taken some 200 captive in the most primitive and exhausting conditions.
(3) In October 1816, Joshua Lee of Lincoln Co., Tennessee authorized an Attorney to collect his pay for service in the
Creek War and War of 1812. (NARA)
(4) 1829 State of Alabama Land Survey, Jackson Co., Ala. T5 R3 East Sec 3 NW 1/4 of NE 1/4, 40 acres of mountain land
(5) Possible 1830 census Lincoln Co., Tennessee with 6 young children age 14 or younger.
(6) 1840 Jackson Co., Ala census as Joshua Lea, eight children to age 19 or younger.

both of them. A third Military Warrant land grant in Adair Co., MO was later canceled.
(9) 1870 census Brownsboro, Madison Co., Ala.

Ann _____ (1870 census)
born ca. 1824 AL
Civil War: Enlisted as a Private in Co. G, 12th Alabama Infantry, June 20,1861 at Woodville, Jackson Co., AL. Discharged 10 Feb 1863
upon reaching age 45. Giles was hospitalized twice in Richmond during the fall of 1862. Once for15 days for scabies and once for 5 days
for diarrhea. He was discharged February 10, 1863. His discharge gave his age as 45, height 5 feet 6 inches, dark complexion, blue eyes,
and dark hair. His birthplace was given as Madison Co., Alabama. He was given back pay (at a rate of $11.00 per month) of $14.30 and
an extra travel allowance of $1.00 for rations on his trip home from Virginia to Alabama.
NOTE: This Giles Lee purchased the Federal land patents of the properties squatted upon during the 1820s and 1830s by 1.5.2. Giles Lee (below).
He is therefore possibly a son of that Giles and cared for by an uncle while in his late teens. Because he is not in the 1840 census with Giles' wife
Elizabeth (below) and always found in association with Joshua Lee and his children in his adult years, I place him here.
Children: Mary Jane (married John N. Byrd), Elizabeth, Nancy P. (married John Hill), Franklin W., J. P., William, and Joseph Lee.
Sources: 1850 Jackson Co. census as William Lee. His family found in 1860 Jackson and 1870 Madison Co., AL censuses. In 1870, he is living
with Miles Lee and his motherless children. Neither Miles nor his children have been positively located thereafter.

Jackson Co., AL.
NOTE: Regarding conflicting information on various censuses. The "Walton War" involved a 12 mile wide "orphan strip"
of land in the area where the North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia borders join. In 1798, the Cherokee ceded
this land in South Carolina to the United States placing it outside the territorial jurisdiction of any state. Until 1811,
residents of what is today a portion of North Carolina were at some point in time claimed as citizens of three different
states. On one census a person would state that they were born in Georgia and on the next census state North Carolina
or South Carolina. This is probably where Sarah Lee was born.
