DESCENDANTS OF JOHN LEE,
OF
FARMINGTON, CONN.
{From First Epirron.]
The compiler of this Genealogy will in few words explain why
she has undertaken a work of this kind, belonging, as it seems to
her, more to a person accustomed to literary labor than to one
who had never written a line for the press.
The collection of material for a Genealogy was begun about
1850, by her father, CHARLES Ler, of Norwich, Conn., for his own
pleasure, and continued at intervals until his death, in 1865.
Three or four years since, Rev. SamueL Lez, of New Ipswich,
N. H., was very desirous that she who had been her father’s
helper, should take it up, adding what could be gathered, to bring
it down to the present time. The beloved father’s love for the
work, and her love and veneration for him, were the only reasons
for consenting to finish and publish it.
You now have the little book ; excuse the errors which you will
no doubt find, and judge it leniently. She will feel amply rewarded
for all the trouble and labor it has cost her, if some one better
qualified is incited by its perusal to make a more interesting and
perfect history of the FARMINGTON LEEs.
To all those who have promptly and kindly aided her by letter,
or otherwise, grateful thanks are here returned.
4. INTRODUCTION.
Particular mention should be made of the following, all of
whom have given very full records of the branches to which they

been of great service to her all through the preparation of this

Nore.—In presenting this volume to the descendants of JoHN
L&E of Farmington, Conn., it should be here stated that we are
largely indebted to Miss Sarah Marsh Lee of Norwich, compiler
of ‘‘JoHN Lee anp His Descenpants,” 1878, for the foundation
of this work, quoting largely from her book. Genealogical re-
‘searches pursued by her have been continued still farther, the
result of which is here presented to the reader.

INTRODUCTION.
It is natural for any person of common intelligence to desire
to know something of his origin, and, if never given to research
for that information himself, he would be expected to listen with
some degree of interest to anyone who had made that research
for him. An honorable ancestry is a source of honorable pride.
The individual who embarks in genealogical literature with the
expectation of amassing a fortune or earning his bread, even, is
very sure to meet with disappointment, to remain poor, and to
suffer from hunger if he has no other resqurce upon which to
rely.
The number who have a natural taste for genealogy 1s com-
paratively small. It is a subject which requires cultivation in
order to awaken much interest in all its details. No one should
think of embarking upon such an enterprise without considering
the subject thoroughly, and being possessed of at least two or
three very essential requisites, among which may be named a
large stock of patience, a reasonable amount of leisure, and a
cash capital sufficient to defray the expense of postage, station-
ery, express charges, and the various little e¢ ceteras which will
present themselves from time to time, long before his work is
ready for the press, and which, in the aggregate, will amount to
a formidable sum, for a small capitalist, before he can realize the
first dollar from his enterprise.
STARTING POINT.
Having, after mature deliberation, decided to embark in the
hazardous enterprise, the first thing to do is, to decide upon a
starting point, which, in this country, is usually established at the
advent of the first immigrant of the family to the American
shores, and then, if possible, from that point, to trace backwards
through the ‘“ dark ages,” to establish a connection with nobility
or royalty, for indomitable ambition reigns supreme in the human
breast, to boast of

in his veins. While it may be a laudable ambition to trace
an undisputed connection with a family of wodle frazts, it so hap-
6 INTRODUCTION.
pens that é/we d/ood tells for little, in connection with American
institutions, except for the satisfaction of the individual, and if,
perchance, he glories in being able to trace his lineage back to
Julius Cesar or to King Solomon, few will be found to do him
homage, to rejoice with him, or toenvy him. Farther, the royal,
or blue-blood, will have become so diluted in a few generations of
isolation, that a chemical process would be required to analyze it,
and even then, the discoveries would prove but homceopathic or
microscopic. Thus, the first generation of royalty or nobility is
supposed to be of full blood, the second generation would be a
half blood, the third generation a quarter blood, the fourth gen-
eration an eighth blood, the fifth generation but a ,', and so on
till the tenth generation is possessed of but =4, part of the
original, and through the veins of the fifteenth generation would
course but ;g4gq part of the ancestral blood, and thence onward
becoming ever more diluted by a diminishing geometrical series
till it becomes an infinitesimal quantity.
FAMILY CONNECTIONS ABROAD.
The result of attempts which some genealogists have made to
trace their lineage back five or six generations in the old country
is seldom reliable. It is certainly creditable to be able to trace
to an honorable ancestry, and such attempts should, by no means,
be discouraged. They may be able to establish, what, to them,
appears satisfactory, whether fact or fiction. It may furnish an
object for the mind to rest upon, in fancied certainty of their blue
blood, for ‘‘ Where ignorance is bliss, ’twere folly to be wise.”’
IMPOSITIONS
are quite too frequent. Professional genealogists are often
applied to in the old country, who, knowing the ambition of their
American applicants, are able to furnish them with a flattering
record of their ancestry, or of a family bearing the same name,
without regard to a positive connection. The applicants being
able neither to disprove or to verify, accept it as genuine, which
may or may not be in fact, and the professional usually pockets a
fee, more or less liberal, in proportion to the flattering nature of
the records furnished. These remarks, however, should not
apply to a class of foreign genealogists of established reputation.
It is not probable that one genealogist in twenty succeeds in
establishing a correct line of ancestry of five generations on the
other side of the Atlantic, whose ancestors migrated to this
country 150 to 200 years ago, which would be accepted as
INTRODUCTION. ., Yu
evidence in a court of justice; hence, a formidable obstacle to
obtaining a ‘‘vast fortune in the Bank of England awaiting
American heirs.”’
Says a reliable writer: ‘‘It is stated among the librarians and
officers of Historical Instituticns in the Eastern States, that not
ten per cent. of inquiries succeed in establishing the connection
between their ancestors and the family abroad. Other authorities
say 7wo per cent. Most of their ancestors fled from religious
persecution, and instead of promulgating their derivation or
history, rather suppressed all knowledge of it, so that their
descendants have no reliable traditions.”’
Certain it is, that we have been unable as yet to establish any
positive connection of ew ancestor with any family abroad.
FORMIDABLE OBSTACLES.
Having established a starting point—say of a half dozen gener-
ations in the American past—the first thing to be done is to
examine all the old public and family records which can be found,
few of which are strictly reliable, often so obscured by the ravages
of time as with difficulty to be traced, and often-times, not ove-
half of which are legible. The traditions and information to be
gathered from the living are very unreliable and records are often
conflicting. After two or three generations the descendants
begin to scatter, and succeeding generations grow up knowing
little or nothing of their kindred, who still linger around the old
homestead, or are scattered in other parts of the country, till at
last they are entirely lost sight of to each other.
Such has been the case in our own family, till different branches
have been lost to view for more than a century, and have been
discovered, and their identity traced, only by laborious research.
The descendants of several families of our ancestor are
supposed still to exist, the parents of whom ‘‘moved west” more
than a century ago, leaving not a trace behind.
Among the formidable obstacles to be encountered by the
genealogist are the indifference and suspicion of his own kindred.
He obtains the address of some kinsman, who he believes would
feel some interest in his family history, and addresses to him a
letter of inquiry, Scores of letters never meet the least
attention—are never heard from, although known to have been
received, as the return card would insure their return were it
otherwise. Others remain weeks and months without attention,
holding the genealogist in suspense, not knowing whether he
8 INTRODUCTION.
may expect to receive their records or not; in the meantime
holding pages and numbers open at a great inconvenience and
delay—for every individual must have a proper number in
rotation—till, despairing of receiving the records inquired for, the
pages and numbers are filled up. Instances have occurred in
which within one day afterwards, the records have been received,
and in order to give them their proper place among the genera-
tions, required the re-arranging and re-writing of many pages,
and re-numbering of 500 to 1000 numbers, involving in some cases
two or three days’ extra labor, all of which might have been
obviated by punctuality of the correspondent. In other cases the
respondents to letters indicate a suspicion of some speculation at
their expense, although not asked to contribute one cent, and
scores of letters are returned ‘‘unclaimed.”
A few families have kept no records, and are unable to furnish
any information, except from an unreliable memory—though we
are happy to state that such cases are rare—while others, to their
credit be it said, are able to furnish full, intelligible and unmis-
takable records.
“WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO,
to rake up all these old records?” says one. ‘‘ What good does it
do to erect a monument to the memory of your friends?” we
respond. To die and be forgotten by all your friends is a thought
repugnant to the heart of anyone possessed of human instincts.
A history of the family is to the family, what a history of the State
is to the State, and, if properly written, should prove a piece of
valuable family literature.
‘(What do I care for old dead ancestors,” said another. = Such
people are not to be envied. It may be reasonably assumed that
posterity will care nothing for them.

MISS SARAH M. LEE’S WORK.
In 1878 was published Joun Lee anp His Descenpants, by
Miss Sarah Marsh Lee of Norwich, commenced by her father,
Deacon Charles Lee, some years previous. His decease in 1865,
seemed, at first, to terminate all efforts in that direction. His
daughter, who had been his efficient helper, was at length
encouraged to persevere and complete the work—a work credit-
able alike, to both father and daughter—and, although it com-
prised the names of nearly 1100 of the descendants of John Lee,
it, by no means included them all, and, although this volume con-
tains more than four times as many names, it 1n no way diminishes
INTRODUCTION. 9
the credit to which she is entitled. She collected what appeared
attainable at that time, and opened the way which her successors
have followed, and we have copied freely from her work.
LEE GATHERING OF 1884.
In 1882, it was conceived by Mr. William Wallace Lee of
Meriden, that by utilizing her work as a basis, it would be pos-
sible to call together a goodly number of the kindred in a general
family gathering, which, in 1884, as is well known, resulted in a
success far beyond the most sanguine expectation of himself or
friends, the proceedings of which were published by him, in a
tasteful little volume, entitled, ‘‘ LEE Famity GATHERING.” At this
meeting was formed the ‘‘ Lee Association,” with himself as sec-
retary, and eventually as treasurer, although there were no funds
to take charge of. That office was complimentary only.
A NEW VOLUME.
His correspondence with the few on the subject of this meet-
ing extended from one family to another, as new discoveries were
made, and continued several years, till it became voluminous, and
in this manner a large amount of genealogical material was col-
lected, which, though entirely disconnected, and by no means
complete, was still valuable. Many family traditions, facts and
names, were thus rescued from oblivion, from elder generations,
which have since passed away, and which, with nothing to call
them out, would have been lost to posterity.
This mass of correspondence had, in 1892, accumulated to
what, as estimated by him, amounted to nearly 1,000 letters, and
from this fact he conceived the idea of a new, revised and
enlarged edition of the family genealogy.
CALLING ASSISTANCE.
Finding it impossible to devote the necessary time himself to
compile this mass of miscellaneous material, in 1892 he solicited
the assistance of the writer to take hold of the work. It appeared
like a formidable task to produce anything tangible from such a
mass of heterogeneous manuscript, but at the end of three
months’ close application the chaotic mass had been assorted, a
portion consigned to the waste basket, other portions compiled
for use, awaiting the connecting links, and still other portions
filed away for future reference. During that time a fair progress
chad been made in compiling the most numerous branch of the
10 INTRODUCTION.
family and a commencement made on the others, and an extensive
correspondence had been opened with kindred in more than
twenty States, besides in the Canadas and England.
WORK SUSPENDED.
At length it became necessary to suspend the work for want of
material for continuous progress in order of the generations.
Three years intervened, during which time a continuous corre-
spondence was maintained, both by the secretary and the writer,
and during the travels of the latter, calls were made at more than
fifty homes of the kindred in New Hampshire, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri,
Tennessee, Florida, California and Ontario, taking many family
records personally.
RESEARCHES.
During this interval of three years, researches were continued
and old records examined in the Probate office and State archives
at Hartford, and public records at Farmington, Plainville,
Southington, Meriden, Wallingford, New Haven, Willimantic,
Coventry, Kent, Salisbury, Windsor and Lebanon, in Connecticut;
Northampton, Hadley and Pittsfield, Massachusetts; Ludlow,
Vermont, and various works in the rooms of the New England
Genealogical Society at Boston, besides the examination of more
than twenty-five years’ publication of the Connecticut Courant of
the last century, including the period of the Revolutionary war,
and numerous other works to be found in the Atheneum in
Hartford. To the above list may be added many ancient church
records. More than thirty-five old cemeteries were visited in Con-
necticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New York and Ontario, to
obtain dates and other items, some of which were prolific of
results, others nearly or quite barren. No pains or labor have
been avoided where there was a prospect of beneficial result. The
secretary and the writer have expended both time and means in
their researches, with no expectation of remuneration for time
spent, except the satisfaction of rescuing from oblivion the
many items of family history. Great credit is especially due to
William Wallace Lee for his untiring perseverance in search of
lost families and successful results.
AID OBTAINED—MISS SARAH F. LEE.
In the meantime, in order to crowd the work as fast as practi-
cal, aid had been solicited from Miss Sarah Fiske Lee of New
INTRODUCTION. Il
Ipswich, N. H., a daughter of Rev. Samuel Lee, the instigator
of the first genealogy of the family, and the discoverer of the
original headstone of John Lee, which had, for many years, been
lost sight of—a lady of education and ability. The task was
cheerfully undertaken, and to her belongs the credit of compiling
the two branches of John and Stephen, besides material aid
rendered in various ways. No opportunity has been left unim-
proved by her to make researches in the New England Genea-
logical Society’s library in Boston, many discoveries in which
have proved exceedingly valuable. But she will tell her own story.
INTEREST IN GENEALOGY.
The organization of the various orders of Sons and Daughters
of the Revolution, Colonial Dames, and other kindred orders, has
awakened a certain degree of interest in genealogy, but in a large
majority of cases, when their line has been traced far enough to
establish the eligibility of the individuals to those orders, their
interest ceases. This ought not to be. An interest once awak-
ened should be pursued, for the history of our family should be a
history of the greatest interest. Several minor branches of our
family still remain undiscovered—have been lost sight of more
than a century, and we do not like to abandon the hope that they
may yet be found and added to our numbers. Notwithstanding
the apparent indifference on the subject, much is being done.
The number of works on American genealogy in the Connecticut
libraries is about 600, and the New England Genealogical Society
and New York libraries contain about goo.
MILITARY SERVICE.
A special effort has been made to collect the names of those
who served in the various wars of the country. In the early
Indian wars, few names of the participants were preserved except
of the officers. As every able-bodied man was presumed to be a
soldier in colonial days, it is not probable that the earlier genera-
tions of our family escaped being called into service during the
various Indian wars and alarms, and it is to be regretted that not
a single name has been found, except that of our maternal ances-
tor, Stephen Hart. Thorough researches have been made in the
State archives for a list of those who served in the French and
Indian war of 1756—63, and the result of our discovery is recorded
in these pages.
Revolutionary records have also been thoroughly examined,
12 INTRODUCTION.
and although many names have been found, we are confident
that the list does not include all who are entitled to credit. Some
were credited in other States than Connecticut.
Before the war of 1812—15, the Lees had become widely
scattered, and but few names are found on the Connecticut
records.
Of those engaged in the late civil war, we have been able to
collect names and records from States widely separated, there
being a greater number of descendants in other States than in
the State of Connecticut, but we are satisfied that our list is quite
incomplete—that there are many whose names have not been
reported. |
It will be seen that a large number bear other names than Lee,
but it will be remembered that no less Lee blood courses through
their veins from the fact that they are descended through the
female side of the family. They are entitled to the same recog-
nition as though bearing the name.
By comparing notes, it will be found that kindred from States
widely separated were often engaged in the same battles without
knowing it, and in frequent instances were contending against
Southern kindred in the Confederate army.
ERRORS,
It would be absurd to assert that a work composed largely of
dates and statistics, and collected from so many different sources
and individuals, would be void of some errors, notwithstanding
the utmost care. The causes are numerous, a few of which may
be named.
One prolific source of error in dates, arises from indistinct
manuscript furnished by correspondents, and also from their own
unconscious errors. Again, different members of the same family
often furnish conflicting dates. Transcribing and typographic
errors will sometimes unavoidably occur—frequently the year only
of births is given. Errors arise from indistinct manuscript in
similar names. Thus Hannah for Harriet, William for Willard—
double names sometimes reversed by different members of the
family—Lucy Jane for Jane Lucy, Ludosky M. instead of Maria
L.—sometimes initials only are furnished, as B. R. Lee, J. H.
Lee, b. 1836—by others the pet name only is furnished as
Freddie, Willie, Sadie, Matie, etc.
Such errors are, by no means, the fault of the compilers.
Scores of letters have been written to obtain correction of trivial
errors, many of which met with prompt response, others were
INTRODUCTION. 13
totally neglected. We would kindly request, however, that any
errors which may be discovered, be reported to the compilers or
secretary of the association for correction in any future work.
RESPONSIBILITY.
It has been remarked on a previous page, that scores of letters
of inquiry had been neglected for months, and others had never
been acknowledged. These remarks should not be so construed
as to apply to correspondents in general, for the greater number
have expressed an interest in the work, and an anxiety to assist,
and have rendered efficient aid, for which they are entitled to
many thanks. To enumerate them all would require a long list
of names and to draw a line of demarkation would be a delicate
task. It is safe, however, to say that one-third of the labor of
the compilers might have been obviated by the punctuality of
those who were delinquent.
It would have afforded us great pleasure to mention something
further of individuals—public positions held, military history, or
items of family interest, but we were not in possession of the
facts, nor could we obtain them, though many letters were writ-
ten expressly for that purpose. Hence, it is obvious that the
compilers cannot hold themselves responsible for the omission.
EXPENSES.
By those who gave the subject a thought, it was not expected
that the compilers, who had already expended several hundred
dollars, and a large amount of time, with so little prospect of
remuneration, would advance the necessary funds for publication
of a work in which others should also take a deep interest.
When the subject was named at the re-union at Farmington, in
Aug., 1896, the response from those present was liberal—both by
donation and advance subscriptions, for a work which could not
appear for several months. Other subscriptions followed later
from various parts of the country. The names of both donors
and advance subscribers will be found on another page. All who
have nobly aided will please accept the thanks of the Publishing
Committee, and although, at this writing, the funds in hand are
not quite sufficient to defray the entire expense of publishing and
incidentals attendant, we have faith in the liberality of the Lee
descendants, and that they will see the committee safely through.
A few there were who stood aloof and said, ‘‘we will see what
the work is before we subscribe for it;” others said, ‘‘we will
take a copy when it comes out.”
14 INTRODUCTION.
To those we would say, that if a// had acted on the same
principle the work never would have come out. |
The genealogy of several families, who could be named, has
been ready for publication for several years awaiting funds. In
contrast with those the liberality of the Lees is to be commended.
CONCLUSION.
That the work of compiling this genealogy has been no easy
task will be readily understood, when it is stated. that there were
three prominent families in the State by the same name during
the last century, besides as many in Massachusetts which, in the
course of two or three generations, became mingled together,
requiring no little investigation to discriminate between them,
and, to add to the labor, many in the different families bore pre-
cisely the same Christian names. Several families have been
omitted who ée/ieved themselves connected with ours, but were
unable to establish the connection.
The result of our labor is included in this volume. Unwearied
pains have been taken to be correct in all statements and details.
If we have failed it has not been for want of industry—‘‘to err is
human.” The compilers have had no advantages of membership
of historical or genealogical societies, or opportunity for advice
or suggestions from experienced genealogists, but were novices
in the work. Such as it is, it is now before you, and we beg our
readers to judge leniently, and bearin mind that it has been a
‘*labor of love, rather than one of profit,” and that we expect to
acquire neither fame nor fortune by it, but, instead, to incur many
harsh criticisms, whether deserved or undeserved. To those who
are disposed to criticise harshly, we have only to say: ‘‘ You try it.”
We felt conscious that such a work must be accomplished dur-
ing the present generation, if accomplished at all, for elder
generations were fast passing away and opportunities were fast
receding. It is a source of regret that the work of the writer
could not have fallen into more able hands, but if we have suc-
ceeded in rescuing from oblivion the history of our family, or
have contributed to awaken an interest on the subject, our object
has been accomplished.
During the preparation of the work, the writer, although a
resident of Kenosha, Wis., spent more than a year and a half in
the State of Connecticut for convenience of access to State

archives at Hartford, and other public records throughout the
State, and also for personal conference with the secretary and

OF
JOHN AND STEPHEN.
WHEN PLANS were being formed for publishing a second edition
of JoHn LEE anp His Descenpants, I was asked to take charge
of the John branch. I assented readily, glad to aid a project,
specially dear to me. Later, as no one seemed ready to arrange
the Stephen branch, it was suggested that I should also take
charge of that. In this work I have had the efficient aid of Mrs.
Jeannette -Lee Coe of Winsted, Conn., who has furnished the
record of her grandfather’s family. I desire to acknowledge my
obligation to Mr. Leonard Lee for his help in both obtaining
and noting records which otherwise would not have been acces-
sible tome. The clearness and legibility of his records left noth-
ing to be desired.
As the work has been done by two parties widely separated,
readers will please pardon a few slight differences in the minor
details of arrangement.
These years of labor have been an offering of love to the
memory of my venerated father, one of the first in our whole
family to make genealogical researches and to arouse the interest
of others—to my young brother, whose enthusiasm would have
made him an efficient helper, had he not been called to join the
army of those who have gone before—and to the beloved
‘¢Cousin Sarah,” who, with patient labor and generous bounty,
gave us that first Lee Book which has made possible this larger
edition.
Pardon the many errors which are on these pages, of necessity,
from the fallible humanity of the writer, but I hope you will say
of it as Dr. Samuel Johnson said of a dictionary. ‘‘The worst
is better than none, and the best cannot be expected to be quite

From the city records of Leyden, Holland, among the lists of
names, mostly natives of the eastern coast of England, especially
Essex County and Colchester, there were Samuel and Bridget
Lee, the latter a daughter of Joos Lee.* These came to New
England and settled here.
There is no evidence that either the Pilgrims from Leyden, or
those who left for St. Christopher’s and the Barbadoes were in
any way related to our ancestor, John Lee. But is it not
probable that of the emigrants to these islands, many found their
way to New England, where they could enjoy religious liberty,
and that from these men have come some of the families of the
name of Lee in other parts of Connecticut, and in Massachusetts,
Vermont and New Jersey? It is historical, that many of the
emigrants to the West India Islands finally settled in New
England.
*See New England Hist. and Gen. Register, Vol. 13, P. 342.
LEES OF ENGLISH HISTORY.
The name first appears as Lega, De Le, De la Lee, and of various
spelling, gradually taking the present form, Lee. In the ‘‘ Dooms-
day Book” Lega and Lee are often used to denote the same family.
The name has also sometimes assumed still other forms, as Lea,
Leigh, Lay and Ley. The word ‘‘Lee” signifies a ‘‘ pasture,
meadow or grass land.” Previous to the use of surnames,
persons were designated by the place of their residence, or some
epithet descriptive of their personal character or occupation.
Thus, John, residing near the lee, eventually became ‘“ John
Lee,” Samuel, very pale or white, became ‘‘ Samuel White,” and
William the carpenter, became ‘‘ William Carpenter,” etc.
The family of Lee is one of the most ancient in English his-
tory. In the eleventh century the name of Launcelot Lee is
associated with William the Conqueror, and is of Norman origin, .
and in the division of estates by that chieftain, a fine estate in
Essex county was bestowed upon him.
Lionel Lee ‘‘ raised a company of gentlemen cavaliers,” at the
head of which he accompanied Richard Cceur de Leon, in the
third crusade, A. D. 1192. For gallant conduct at the siege of
Acre, he was made “ Earl of Litchfield,” and another estate was
given to the family, which was later called ‘‘Ditchly.” The
armor worn by the crusaders is still preserved in the Horse
Armory, Tower of London. They were devoted followers of the
Stuarts, and distinguished for loyalty to the crown, and, for their
acts of valor, received various honors and distinctions. Two of
the name have been Knights of the Garter, and their banners,
surmounted by the ‘‘ Lee Arms,” may be seen in St. George’s
Chapel, Windsor.
For the satisfaction of those who may be interested in tracing
the origin of the family to nobility and antiquity, we make a few
extracts from the ‘‘Baronetage of England,” published in the
middle of the last century. They will be found to be more
curious than wseful at the present day.
HuGH bE La LEE was witness to a grant of land and an abbey
of Bilderwas in 1155.
20 INTRODUCTION.
REGINALD DE LA LEE was a witness to deeds of estates, and
sons John de la Lee and Phillip de la Lee ‘‘held lands of £20 or
more, per annum in Shropshire and were summoned to attend
the king with Horse and Arms, to go beyond sea.”
Tuomas DE LA LEks, Lord of Stanton, with his wife Petronilla,
grant to Thomas, their son and heir, and to the heirs of his body,
an estate in Stanton, and also grant lands to his brother, Stephen
de la Lee. The seal to these deeds is described ‘‘a Fess
chequey, between 10 Billetts,” circumscribed ‘‘ Sig. Thomas du
Lee,” with a crest.
REGINALD DE LA LEE was heir to an estate on which he was
living in 1320. He had issue, John de la Lee, Knight, called
Lord of Roden, 1321, who was one of the Knights of Shropshire
in the parliament held at York. To him Thomas de la Lee and
his wife granted all their lands, ‘‘ seminatam cum terra seminata”
(i. e. saved and land not saved. )
Humpurey bE La Ler of Langley Esquire, ‘‘served all offices
suiting his degree, as Justice of Peace and Lieutenant of the
county, and was advanced to the dignity of Baronet, 3 May,
O20.
“Sir RicHarp LEE of Langley, Baronet, was one of the
Knights of the Shire in the pariament that met in 1640, and
adhering faithfully to King Charles the First, in the time of his
trouble, did not a little contribute to his assistance when his
Majesty set up his standard. He afterwards marched with the
king to Oxford and sat among those members who met there in
1643, whereby he became a great sufferer in his estate. He
took to wife Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Edward Allin, Knight
and Alderman of London.”
Sir Henry Les, of ‘‘Quarenden Bucks” was created ‘‘Earl of
Litchfield” May 22, 1611. He was succeeded by his son, Sir
Epwarp Henry Leer in 1674, and he by his son, Sik GEORGE
Henry Lex, Feb. 13, 1716.
Joun bE Ler, Knicur or Essex, was sent to Parliament A. D.,
1307.
INTRODUCTION. 2
Tuomas, son of Johis Lee, bequeaths to his eldest son the
patrimonial estate near ‘‘ Pebenhul,” an ancient village in Shrop-
shire, now extinct. Johis, or Johannes Lee is mentioned
frequently in parliamentary writs of Edward II.
Further similar extracts might be made but these are deemed
sufficient.
An old volume of English history, which gives the derivation
of names, mentions that the family of ‘‘ Joun Lee or Lee Hatt,”
Parish of Wibenbury, County of Chester, sometimes spelled the
namemweemivea, Leigh and De la Lee:
Various descriptions of the ‘‘Lee Arms” have been found,
varying but little, however, from each other, but the following
appear the most reliable: ‘‘ Gules a fess Chequy ; an Aziere be-
tween seven billets in chief, and six in point Argent.”” Another,
‘a shield, bend sinister, battled and embattled.” Crest,
‘*Trunk of a tree, vert, with a squirrel, gules, sitting thereon,
browsing on a nut branch, proper.’ Another, ‘‘A closed visor,
surmounted by a squirrel, holding a nut, with the motto, ‘‘ Von
tncautus futurt.”
ltpmayerequire )anvexpert) in” <“Fieraldry” to) explain the
‘‘arms,”’ while the ‘‘crest” is less difficult of comprehension.
Whether comprehended or not, their significance to the American
Lees is not important.
It is not positively understood that any one American family at
the present time has an exclusive claim to the use of the ‘* Lee
Arms.” If records could be correctly traced, there is little doubt
but it would be found that the Lees of English origin emanated
from the same source, viz.: from the followers of William the
Conqueror in 1066.
RicHarp Les, third son of Launcelot Lee of Cotton, emigrated
to America about the year 1641. This Richard is the ancestor of
the Virginia Lees.
The tradition and circumstances of our ancestor John, and
Richard, both coming from Essex county, England, one emigrat-
ing in 1634, the other in 1641, are the only reasons that can now
be assumed that they were both of the same origin.
A correspondent of one of our family in London, Rev. Frederic
George Lee, a distinguished clergyman of the Church of Eng-
land, has interested himself in our efforts to obtain something
authentic as to the birthplace of our ancestor, and has kindly
furnished us with many interesting facts as to the family name in
England. He has in his possession (1877) upon parchment, in
Latin, the pedigree of his own family from a very early period
BY INTRODUCTION.
down to 1629. This can be found in the London Genealogist,
April, 1876, and is copied in this work from one sent by the
above named gentleman to Mr. William H. Lee of New York.
Another distinguished genealogist of London, Col. J. L.
Chester, says that ‘‘in his opinion it will be found that our
ancestor 1s of a Shropshire branch of the name, which dates back
to the 14th century in the time of Edward III,” and noted in
printed records as ‘‘of Lee Hall in the parish of Wibenbury, in
the County Palatine of Chester, whose ancestors have been there
for ages.”* The link wanting to connect our ancestor with the
English family must be found—if found at all—in the years from
1620 to 1634.
That the lineage of our ancestor, is yet, somewhere a matter
of record, is scarcely to be doubted, but where to be found isa
question not easily answered.
The uncertainties of such researches are best expressed in the
words of Mr. Albert Welles, President of the ‘‘American College
of Heraldry,” in his introduction to the Welles Genealogy, and is
as follows:
‘** Most of the emigrants fled from religious persecution, and instead
of promulgating their derivation or history, rather suppressed all
knowledge of it, so that their descendants had no direct traditions.
On this account it became necessary to give the descendants, sepa-
rately, of each of the original emigrants to this country, with a
general account of the family abroad, as far as it can be learned from
history, without trusting too much to tradition, which, however,
is often the only source of information on these matters.”

LEES OF NEW ENGLAND AND OTHER STATES.
Amonc the early immigrants to the Colonies were several
families by the name of Lee, Lea and Leigh—the same name but
spelled in different ways. No connection, as far as learned, has
been established among these families, except from inference, as
coming from the same locality in England.
I. Joun Ler, who came from Essex Co. 1634, settled first in
1634 Cambridge, came to Hartford 1635, and to Farmington
1641.
Il. Joun Leicu (Lee)—‘‘A younger son of an ancient and hon-
orable family of Burton St., London,” described as a
‘‘person of good abilities in the bloom of life’ —came to
Mass. and settled at Agawam, or Ipswich, in Essex Co.
His name is first found on the Colonial records, April 1,
1634. He died 1671. ‘* His two sons, John and Joseph,
by agreement, began in 1677 to spell their name Lee.”
A branch of this family settled at Barre, Mass. Gideon
Lee, a former mayor of New York, was a member of this
family.
1634
The genealogy of the family, containing records of 1,224
descendants, compiled by Dr. William Lee, M. D., of
Washington, D. C. (deceased Feb. 1893), was published
in 1888.
III. Tuomas Leg, left England with his family, consisting of
his wife, several daughters and one son, Thomas, in
1641. ‘‘He died on the passage, of small-pox, and was
buried at sea.” The family settled at Saybrook, Conn.,
and from the son Thomas are descended the Lees of
INTRODUCTION. Da].
Saybrook, Lyme, Guilford and other towns. In 1851 a
pamphlet of twenty-one pages, with an appendix, was
published, compiled from information furnished by Hon.
Martin Lee of Granville, N. Y., purporting to be a his-
tory of the family. In his preliminary remarks the
compiler says, ‘‘In the year 1641, Thomas Lee, the
ancestor of a// the Lees in this country, sailed for the
United States.” The descendants of this numerous and
respectable family ignore such pretensions at the
present day.
1641
IV. RicHarp LEE, of Virginia, 1641. See further notes.
1641
V. Tuomas LEE, came in 1642 and settled at Ipswich, Mass.
1642 Records furnish little information.
VI. Henry LEE, came in 1650—said to have come from Ches-
hire, Eng.—was in Boston in 1655. ‘‘Henry Lee is
admitted an inhabitant (of Boston) on his good behavior,
and Capt. Davenport is engaged to save the town any
expense that may arise from his family.” Eventually
settled at Manchester, Mass., where he died, 1675.
Inventory, £144; debts, £28.
1650
VII. Watrer LEE, appears on the town records at Westfield,
Mass. as early as 1660. The name continues on record
for more than a century at Westfield and Northampton,
ROsd and then disappears. He is supposed to have been the
Walter Lee who was made a ‘‘Freeman” at Hartford,
May, 1654.
VIII. Wiriiam Lee, New York. In the History of Westches-
ter Co., New York, it is found that he came from
Nottingham, Eng., in 1675, and his descendants settled
1075 on Long Island and New Jersey. They claim descent
from the Lees of Lee Magna, Kent, Eng.
IX. SamueEt Lees, of Swansea, Mass., came from Warwickshire,
Eng. in 1692, built a house near Lees River.—Further
1692 notice of the family may be found in the New England
Historical and Genealogical Register.

This is a well known family of Boston, Cambridge and
other towns, prominent with other families with whom
its members have intermarried. The christian name of
the first American ancestor seems not to have been
positively settled. A bronze statue of Thomas Lee may
be seen in Boston, but its significance has not been
ascertained.
THOMAS AND BENJAMIN LEE, of Boston, 1765, and Lancas-
ter, Mass, 1797. No particulars of this family.
WitiiamM Lee, of Norwalk, Conn. This is a highly
respected family whose ancestor is believed to have been
William, but at what time he came to America is un-
known. The descendants appear to have made their
way up the western part of the State, and were prevalent
in Ridgfield and Redding in the early part of the last
century, some of them purchasing land of the Indians.
Still later they appeared in Salisbury. Joseph Lee
and wife Mary, and Joseph Jr. and wife Mary, were ad-
mitted to the church of Rev. Jonathan Lee by letter
from Redding, in Dec. 1747.
VIRGINIA LEES.
It has often been asserted that the Lees of Farmington and
those of Virginia were of the same English origin, and there has
long been a standing tradition to that effect.
That both families came from Essex county, England, is clear,
and their common origin is by no means impossible, but there
is no satisfactory documentary evidence to show a family
connection.
In 1640-1, Richard Lee, son of Sir Robert Lee, came out to
Virginia as secretary to the colonial governor, Lord Fairfax, and
finally settled at York, on James river in 1647. He was among
the pioneers of the Lees of Virginia, and, as he wrote in his will,
‘late of Stafford-Langton, county of Essex, England, and of the
Lee family Cotton near ‘‘ Bridgeworth,” the seat of Launcelot
Lee. There were different motives in the emigrants leaving for
Virginia and those settling in New England.
The New England pilgrims were Puritans and Non-Con-
formists, who came for the purpose of seeking religious liberty
and freedom. The Virginia Lees were churchmen and adherents
of the Stuarts, and Richard Lee came out under a commission
from the crown.
Of the pilgrims leaving home, a great majority were males and
but few past the meridian of life. They had endured suffering
and persecution in the wars of Charles I. and the severity of
Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury, in his hatred of heretics.
Essex county, and especially Colchester, was the stronghold of
dissenters from the days of Wickliffe and particularly so in the
sixteenth century.
In a publication called ‘‘ King and Commonwealth” (London
1875) there is given much that is new from the archives of
30 INTRODUCTION.
recently discovered evidence. Especially does it show that in
the wars of that eventful period the three religious bodies, viz.:
Churchmen, Presbyterians and Independents, were the distinctive
divisions in the thirty years conflict and not the Royalists as
against those in rebellion to the Crown.
In the above memoranda and considerations as here set forth,
it 1s designed only to put into this work something suggestive, as
the result of researches made, hoping that it may be put into better
shape by abler hands, and perhaps stimulate others interested in
the name, to endeavor to find evidence of their origin, and so
to trace the connection, if any, of the different settlers of that
name and period.
In all genealogical researches, extending back to the time of
the settlement of New England, there is much that can be only
conjecture. The parish records of England in the wars were
imperfect and often destroyed by contending parties, and in the
thirty years’ war a whole generation passed away and another,
nursed in strife and warfare, assumed their places. Very few of
the original settlers were possessed of much or any property, and
had but little to expect of those whom they left behind; so that
of those who became eminent in this country, like Washington,
Adams or Jefferson, very little is known of their English parent-
age or history.
The Lees, from the time of the Norman conquest have been
distinguished in their various callings; and we have perhaps as
satisfactory an account of our English ancestors as almost any
family emigrating as early as 1634.
When John Lee left his home for the new world, the city of
London was a city of renown and commerce, with a population
of but 500,000. Manchester numbered but 5,000, and other
cities of England, now renowned for manufactures and com-
merce, maintained but a proportionate population. Few of the
streets of London were paved and those only with small cobble
stones. Coaches had but just come into use as common vehicles
of conveyance.
Education, sufficient to read and write, was the exception with
the common people, and not the rule. In judging of the men of
those days, we are to take into account the condition of society
at that time, the manners and customs of the people, and the
want of advantages common to all at that time. Then we can
better appreciate the character of our forefathers.
There are other families, bearing the name, equally entitled to
recognition, but it is the design of this work to publish the
INTRODUCTION. 31
records of the Farmington Lees only. So numerous are the
descendants of the different families, that there are thousands
who are unable to trace their origin to any family, and the per-
centage of those who take an interest in the subject is quite
insignificant.
The many Irish Lees whom the writer has consulted, almost
uniformly claim to be of English origin, whose ancestors migrated
to Ireland at some previous date, and many respectable families
still residing there make the same claim.
It is not assumed that the above statements are all fosztively
correct, but only in accordance with such information as we have
been able to obtain.
The name is also quite common in the Canadas, New Bruns-
wick and other British Provinces, mostly descended from New
England Loyalists, who emigrated from the United States during,
or soon after the Revolutionary war. Among these might be
named the descendants of Dr. Ebenezer Lee of our own Farm-
ington family, who migrated to Canada West in the latter part
of the last century. The Canadian subjects of his descendants
are noted for loyalty to their own government, many of them
holding honorable positions of trust.
WILLIAM WESTWOOD.
Our INTEREST IN WILLIAM WEstTWOOD arises from the fact of his
guardianship over our common ancestor, JOHN Ler, from the
time of his immigration to this country, at the age of 13, to his
majority, at the age of 21, and the supposed relationship existing
between them.
William Westwood was born in Essex county, in the eastern
part of England, in 1606. Nothing is known of his early hfe till
his appearance at Cambridge, then called Newtown, about 1632.
He is supposed to have come with a company from Braintree in
Essex county, England, as the records of Cambridge show.
In various records he is named as ‘‘ Yeoman,” a title next to
nobility. He was possessed of a landed estate, and either left it
to come to America, or inherited it afterwards, as appears by his
appointment of an agent, with power of attorney, to take charge
Ob it
Our information is gleaned entirely from the meager public
records, many of which are in such a defaced and mutilated con-
dition as to require skill and patience to decipher.
Savage, in his Genealogical Notes, says, ‘‘ He may have been
there as early as 1632,” and the records of Cambridge, though
very imperfect, seem to confirm it. In an ‘‘agreement concern-
ing the division of common pales,” (fences for a common field, )
William Westwoode was ‘‘directed to build 30 rods,” and
‘‘Stephen Hart, to build 8 rods,” and others to build their shares.
Dated ‘‘ 29th of”’ (torn off, but previous to Dec. 24, 1633.) ‘‘The
5th August, 1633. Lots granted for cow yards: William West-
woode 1 acre, Stephen Hart % acre,” and others. ‘‘Common
pales about the neck of land,’ William Westwoode was to ‘‘build
30, to be made with sufficient posts and rails, and not with
crotches.” Of the ‘‘planting field,” Westwood had 27 acres.
««The inhabitants, most of them, are very rich, and well stored
INTRODUCTION. 33
with cattle of all sortes,” (1633.) He appears to have been
“appointed to serve on various committees and to have been one
of the leading citizens.
‘“‘The 3d of Feb. 1634, at. a general meeting of the whole
Towne, it was agreed upon by a jointe consent that 7 men should
be chosen to do the whole business of the Towne, and so con-
tinue until the first Monday in November next, and until new be
chosen in their room. So there was elected John Hayes, Mr.
Lyman Bradstreet, William Westwoode” and others.
This date, ‘‘ Feb. 3d, 1634,” might at first seem to preclude the
idea that he sailed, with his family, from Ipswich in England,
April 10, 1634, but we have official evidence of both facts. Savage
remarks that, ‘‘As being a man of good estate, he had made the
exploration here before bringing out his family, which, in the
early days of the colony, was judicious.”
Having been a prominent citizen of the colony, a temporary
absence to bring out his family would not necessarily preclude
his being chosen in his absence.
EMIGRANTS FROM ENGLAND.
Captains of vessels engaged in transporting passengers were
obliged to furnish bonds for faithful performance of duty, and
upon return of the vessel, with proper evidence of such duty
performed, were entitled to a return of their bonds.
The following is a copy of a petition found on the records of
the British Custom house at Ipswich Eng., and will explain
itSel i:

34 INTRODUCTION.
In the list of names accompanying this petition is found
William Westwoode, Bridgett, his wife, John Lea, Grace Newell.
In a ‘‘note of names and ages of all the Passengers w*" tooke
shipping in the Francis of Ipswich, Mat John Cuttinge, bound for
Newe England, last of April, 1634” were ‘‘forty-four adults, who
tooke the oath of Allegiance and Supremacy at his Majties Customs
house in Ipswich, before us, his Majties Officers, according to the
order of the Lords, and others of his Majties most Honle Privy
Council.” Dated 12 Nove T6377
In this list are the names of William Westwoode, age 28, and
Bridgett Westwoode, aged 32.
In a list of those who did not take the oath, being under age
(forty minors), were the names of John Lee, aged 13 and Grace
Newell, aged 13-wards of Westwoode. The date of their arrival
has never been ascertained.
His duties as one of the “seven townsmen” appear to have
been assumed on his return to the Colony. Extracts from the
records of Cambridge: ‘‘It is further ordered by joint consent
(that) whatsoever the Townsmen shall do in the compas of their
time, shall stand as if the whole town did the same for making of
new orders or altering of old ones.” ‘‘ Further it is ordered that
whatsoever person they shall send for to help in any business, and
he shall refuse to come, they shall have power to lay a fine on
him and gather it.”
Feb. 8, 1635. In a division of ground, Westwoode receives
five acres and Stephen Hart two. His residence at that time was
at the southwest corner of Holyoke and Winthrop streets. He
also owned land which is now occupied as part of Harvard Col-
lege Grounds, and was forfeited by his removal.
About this time, attention was attracted to the fertile meadows
of the Connecticut valley, and parties were organized for settle- °
ments. Just at what date Westwood appeared at Hartford, we
have no means of knowing, as records are missing, or are imper-
fect, and dates conflicting.
Two parties came out from Newtown the same season (1635),
one in June, the other in October. On the 4th day of March,
1635, he took the ‘‘Freeman’s oath” at Newtown in the Colony
of Massachusetts Bay, and on the 5th of September was a sworn
constable of the ‘‘Plantation of Connecticut,” ‘‘till some one
was chosen in his place.” This was the executive office of the
colony, and a position of great importance. On the 3d of March
following he was made one of a ‘‘commission to govern the
people at Connecticut.” The first ‘‘General Court” of six
members was held April 26, 1636, and, as there were no written
INTRODUCTION. 35
statutes, this body acted both as a court and legislature, and was
clothed with great powers. The people were governed largely
by church or Mosaic laws. ay) B45 4S
In 1637, he was one of the court which declared war against
the Pequot Indians, and was one of a special ‘‘committee to
hasten military preparations.” He was a town ‘‘selectman”’
from time to time; in 1638, was one of a ‘‘committee to lay out
a road on the upland from Hartford to Windsor.”
It was supposed the church records would furnish some items
of interest concerning him, but, previous to 1685, they are
entirely missing, and it is ‘‘impossible to determine who were in
Hartford previous to the arrival of the Hooker party in October
or November, 1635, except William Westwood and John Steele.”
‘“‘He was a man of note and prominent influence, both in
ecclesiastical and civil affairs, with more than ordinary posses-
sions for the day, and honored often with offices of trust,—was
deputy for Hartford from 1642 to 1656 inclusive, except 1645, and
a frequent juror. In 1653 he was one of a commission of three,
to advise about impressing men for the present expedition against
the Indians—65 men to be ready, with provisions and ammunition
at one days’ notice. ”
He was one of the first proprietors and large land owners of
Hartford, standing fourth on the list. Itis evident, however, that
he invested but a portion of his means there, as his estate in
England had not been disposed of at the time of his death. His
home lot consisted of three acres, being one of the largest on
the town plot, and located on the west side of what is now Front
street, on the river bank near the foot of Morgan street—now
occupied by business houses, and crossed by a railroad. The lot
of Stephen Hart, the subsequent father-in-law of John Lee,
joined it on the north.
Most of the settlers were members of the church of which Rev.
Thomas Hooker was pastor, and many of these had been attend-
ants of his ministry in Braintree, Eng., and among them, West-
wood. Mr. Hooker died in 1649. His grave may be seen in the
ancient cemetery, in the rear of the First church on Main street,
Hartford. The name of William Westwood may also be found
on a public monument in the cemetery as one of the first settlers.
After the death of Mr. Hooker church controversies arose
which increased from year to year, with much bitterness, and
became so deeply involved with outside matters, that it was diffi-
cult to determine the first cause of the dissension. The troubles
also extended to the churches at Windsor and Wethersfield. To
36 INTRODUCTION.
such an extent were these controversies carried, that sixty mem-
bers from the three churches, who considered themselves ag-
grieved, determined to withdraw and found an independent
colony beyond the jurisdiction of Connecticut, and the present
site of Hadley, Mass., was selected for the town. Among those
who withdrew was William Westwood. ‘‘At a meeting held at
Goodman Ward’s house in Hartford, April 18, 1659, William
Westwood (and four others ) were chosen by the whole company
of 59, to go up to the aforesaid Plantation and lay the number
of 59 home lots, and to allow 8 acres for each home lot, and have
a street 20 rods broad betwixt the two westernmost rows of lots,
and to divide the said home lots into quarters by highways. ”
On the gth of Nov. 1659, those who remained at Hartford
chose the same committee, ‘‘to order all public occasions that
concern the good of the plantation for the ensuing year. ”
Thus, after having been one of the pioneers of Hartford, and
a resident for 24 years, we find him forsaking his old home, to
become a pioneer at Hadley.
A home lot of 15 acres was assigned to him, on the east side
of the west street, a few rods from the south end of the row, and
may be easily designated at the present time—this lot, besides
meadow land.
He at once assumed a prominent position in public affairs,—was
frequently chosen Selectman—was given the title of ‘‘ Master, ”
or ‘* Mr ’==a title of distinction, at that time, Miay 22) )166n by
order of the General Court of Massachusetts Bay, a commission
was appointed ‘‘for the better government of the people, and sup-
pressing of sins, and yt Wm. Westwood is hereby authorized to
joyne persons in marriage at Hadley. ”
His family consisted of his wife and one daughter, born at
Hartford, 1644, who married Aaron Cook, Jr., May 30, 1661,
eight days after the date of her father’s commission ‘‘to joyne
persons in marriage at Hadley.” Hence, it requires but a little
stretch of the imagination to conceive that he performed the
marriage ceremony.
After ten years of active life at Hadley, he died April 8, 1669,
aged 63. His wife died May t2, 1676, aged 74. It is probable
that they were buried on the knoll in the west part of the Hadley
cemetery, as that part contains all the early graves, but several
hours’ diligent search by the writer in 18go, and again in 1892,
”?
failed to discover their graves. Hence, it is assumed that no
headstones were erected, or, if erected, have long since
disappeared.
INTRODUCTION. By7/
As in Hartford, so in Hadley, he was one of the most active
supporters of the church, and his religious principles were ever
his rule of action.
‘The preceding sketch shows the character of the man under
whose care our ancestor was placed, and we may infer what John
Lee was from the prominent characteristics of his posterity, as
we shall see them in these pages, being earnest and efficient
supporters of religious institutions. Farther researches may bring
to light his early history, his parentage and home, but it is
pleasant to know that our ancestor was associated with the true
and good men who laid the foundation of one of the most thriving
and pleasant towns in Connecticut, and which has sent out to
bless the land her portion of distinguished and reliable men in
the various departments of life. By patient industry on a farm,
he acquired a handsome property for those days; professed the
religion of the gospel; presented his children in baptism, and
made himself useful in the sphere of life in which God, in His
providence, had placed him. His descendants, numerous and
widely scattered, have been distinguished for enterprise, industry,
liberality and success in business; respect for the laws, and
readiness to bear their portion of the burdens of society, civil
and religious.” —‘‘ John Lee and His Descendants,” by Miss Sarah
Marsh Lee.

DEACON SPER EEN EVAR
DEACON STEPHEN Hart, father of our ancestral mother—Mary
Hart Lee—is supposed, from good authority, to have been born at
Braintree, Essex Co., Eng., in 1606. Of his English history or
parentage, we have no account. It is probable that he came to
this country as early as 1630-31, and located first at Braintree,
Mass., and subsequently removed to Cambridge, then called
Newtowne. It is also probable that one Edmund Hart, who
caie out at, or about the same time, was a brother of Stephen—
both were ‘‘made Freemen” on the same day at Cambridge,
May 14, 1634.
The name of Stephen Hart is found on record in connection
with Wm. Westwood and others, in regard to building a fence to
enclose a common field at Cambridge, as early as 1632, and he is
also represented as one of the first 54 settlers of the town. His
name is also found in the allotment of ground for cow yards in
which Westwood is granted one acre and Hart half an acre, and
others various amounts. On another occasion Westwood receives
5 acres and Hart 3. For building ‘‘Common Pales,” (fence
enclosing field ) Westwood was to build 30 rods and Hart 8 rods,
all of which indicates that Westwood had invested in the common
stock, a much greater amount than Hart.
The fertile lands in the Connecticut Valley had begun to attract
attention, and in the summer of 1635, he went through the wilder-
ness to Hartford with the Rev. Thomas Hooker’s party, including
Westwood and wife, John Lee and Grace Newell, inmates of
Westwood’s family.
It is stated, and apparently on good authority, that he was an
attendant on the ministry of Mr. Hooker of Braintree, Eng., and
it is a well known fact that he was one of Mr. Hooker’s deacons
INTRODUCTION. 45
at Cambridge and again at Hartford. The church records at
Hartford previous to 1682 are missing, and consequently many
interesting items of early church history are lost.
At Hartford, the records show him to have been one of the
original proprietors, and a home lot was assigned him on the river
bank, on what is now Front street and a little north of the present
foot of Morgan street, and may be easily located at the present
day. Westwood’s lot was about one-half larger and joined it on
the south. From the fact of finding their names frequently asso-
ciated, located on adjoining lots, attending the same church,
about the same age, and coming from the same vicinity in Eng-
land, we may infer that they were particular friends.
It is stated on good authority that Hart joined the expedition
against the Pequots under Capt. Mason’s command in 1637, and his
name may be found in a list of names in the ‘‘ Memorial History
of Hartford County,” vol. 1, p. 50.
In 1640 he joined a party of a few others in the settlement of
Farmington. Tradition informs us, that he with others were on
a hunting excursion on Talcott Mountain and discovered the
Tunxis Valley (since known as Farmington) then occupied by
the powerful Tunxis tribe of Indians. It was a beautiful valley,
and partially cleared, and the prolific crops revealed the fertility
of the soil. The country was coveted by the hunters, but there
is no evidence that they resorted to any unfair means to wrest it
from the Indians. As soon as arrangements could be effected, a
purchase was made and the settlement commenced. Outbreaks
did, however, often occur and a few years later the house of one of
Deacon Hart’s sons was attacked in the dead of night, and burned,
and every member of the family perished, except one son, a lad
of 11 years, who was absent from home.
Dea. Hart is said to have been the leading man of the settle-
ment. The settlers still retained their connection with Hartford,
attended church there and perhaps wintered there.
About 1645 the town was incorporated by the name of Farm-
ington. The township was laid out 15 miles square, the proprie-
tors being 84 in number, of whom he was one. When the church
was organized Oct. 13, 1652, there were appointed 7 deacons,
who were designated as the ‘‘7 pillars of the church,” of which
he was named as the first, and no man was more influential or
active, either in the church or settlement than Dea. Hart.
He was one of the first representatives of the town in 1647, an
office which he held continuously for 15 sessions (two sessions a
year) with but one omission—and again in 1660.
4.6 INTRODUCTION.
He purchased of the Indians a large tract of land three miles
north of Farmington in the present town of Avonand, for 150
years, known as Hart’s farm. His house lot was located on the
west side of Main street opposite the meeting-house, and was
four or five times as large as any other town lot, consisting of 15
acres, extending from what was known as Mill Lane on the north,
to the present stone store on the south, and from Main street, west
to the river. The south part of this lot he gave to his son John,
and the north part to his son Thomas. A part of the lot eventually
came into the possession of John Lee and became his homestead,
and may be easily located at the present time as the site of the
Misses Porter’s noted school for girls.
In 1653 Dea. Hart was appointed by the General Court as one
of a Commission to aid the constable in impressing men into the
service for an expedition against the Indians. At this time John
Lee was 33 years of age and it would be a subject of interest to
learn if he joined the expedition, but unfortunately the names
were not preserved.
Dea. Hart was first married in England, and several of his
children were born there. His wife died, when he married Mar-
garet, widow of Arthur Smith. Dates are wanting. His son
Stephen died Aug. 19, 1689, as may be seen on a rough head-
stone a few yards east of the monument of John Lee, on which is
the following inscription :
“S. H. Dee’sd A) 55. 19: 9: 1689.”
‘Stephen Hart deceased Sept. 19, 1689.”” Probate records confirm
this. Deacon Hart died in March between the 16th and 31, 1683,
aged 77. His will is dated March 16, in which he says ‘‘being
weak in body, etc,” and his inventory is presented in court the
31st. After mentioning what he had given to his sons John,
Stephen and Thomas, he gives to his grandson Thomas Porter,
and son-in-law John Cole, his plow land and meadow swamp,
‘‘their agreement to my beloved wife being fulfilled.”
“Item. I give to my sons Stephen and Thomas, and my daughters
Sarah Porter and Mary Lee, my swamp lot in the Great Swamp, and
all my uplands, to be divided equally between them.
Item. I give to my grand child Dorothy Porter, £10.
Item. I give to my grand child John Lee, £3.

DEACON THOMAS JUDD:
AS THERE were many intermarriages between the Lee and Judd
families, it seems but proper to devote a few lines to a sketch of
the Judd ancestral line.
Deacon THomMaAS JupD crossed the ocean about 1633, and
settled at Newtowne (now Cambridge), near Boston, where land
was granted him in 1634. In 1636 he removed to Hartford. His
home lot may be found on the map of ancient Hartford (1640),
adjoining on the south, the Wyllis lot of Charter Oak notoriety.
Here he lived till 1644, when he removed to Farmington, and
at once took a prominent place in the community. He was
chosen second deacon of the church—Stephen Hart being the
first—-The seven deacons were styled the ‘‘Seven Prllars of the
Church.” We and several of his sons were among the ‘‘eighty-
four proprietors” of Farmington. His home lot was on the west
side of Main street, the third from the north end of the street.
He and his sons also seem to have owned several lots in various
parts of the town.
In 1646 he was chosen a representative to the General Court,
and served 14 sessions.
In 1679, after thirty-five years’ residence at Farmington he
removed to Northampton, Mass., and the same year, at the age
of 71, married for his second wife, Mrs. Constance Mason,
‘*a childless widow of good estate,”—widow of Capt. Thomas
Mason, with whom he lived nine years.
In 1682, at the age of 74 years he was chosen one of the
selectmen of the town. He died Nov. 9g, 1688.

52 INTRODUCTION.
NOTE GO Glib EA DilR:
{From First EpIrIion.]
IN numbering generations, John, the emigrant ancestor, is consid-
ered the FIRST generation, his children the SECOND generation, his
grand children the THIRD, and so on. Under every generation,
except the first and second, are included parents and children; but
the number of the generations refers only to the children. The nuin-
bers prefixed to the names of children, and repeated in larger figures
when the children become parents, are for the purpose of tracing a
line of ancestors backward, and a line of descendants forward, and
also for reference.
John Lee had four sons who left posterity ; each one has been
placed at the head of a branch, and his descendants, generation after
generation, numbered separately, as being easier of reference than if
all were numbered together.
Of Mary, the eldest daughter of John, we are able to give only
such records as have been furnished, and which will be found in their
proper place.
Tabitha, the youngest child of John, who married a Strong, and
her descendants are so fully carried out in the ‘“‘Strong History,”
that we have not thought it best to go farther than the FoURTH
generation.
ON THE SUPPOSITION that the readers of ‘JOHN LEE AND HIs
DESCENDANTS,” by Sarah Marsh Lee, are familiar with her manner
of presenting the several generations, and also, from the fact, that
we have examined no work which we deemed preferable in general
arrangement, we have endeavored to follow her style as closely as
practicable. This work, however, being compiled by two individuals,
viz: the John and Stephen branches by Sarah Fiske Lee of New
Hampshire, and the other branches by the writer, with little oppor-
tunity for comparing notes, will naturally differ in style in some
trifling particulars, which the reader will easily comprehend.
In mentioning places, when no State is named, they are to be
understood as being in Connecticut, except large and well known
cities, viz.: New York, Buffalo, New Orleans, ete.
Few abbreviations have been used —b.-born—im.-married—d.-died—
dau.-daughter—/K.-aged—* indicates that the name is carried for-
ward to the succeeding generation for further notice, with a paragraph
of corresponding number.
DESCENDANTS OF JOHN LEE:
OF
FARMINGTON, CONN.
1, Joxun Lee, American ancestor of the Farmington family of
the same name, was born in Essex county, England, and prob-
ably in Colchester, in 1620, between April ro and August 8. In
the official shipping list of passengers sailing from Ipswich, April
10, 1634, he is represented as 13 years of age. When he died
August 8, 1690, his age was given as 70 years, consequently his
fourteenth year must have been completed previous to August 8
of 1634.
Of his parentage, or the names of his parents, we have no
records, but we know that the name was very common in Essex
county among families of distinction.
In a record kept by a great-grandson of his, Seth Lee, A. M.
(21) a paper, evidently written for posterity, entitled, ‘‘ Somer
ACCOUNT OF THE LEES OF FARMINGTON,” taken down about 1766,
and continued to 1802, he says:
‘*Mr. John Lee was sent by his father from Colchester, Eng-
land, to America, among some of the first settlers, and his father
told him he designed to come with his family afterward. How-
ever, he never came, and John never heard, (‘tis sayd,) much
about him. This John was underage. He lived at Hartford, and
when they began to settle Farmington he came here with the
Rest, and was one of the eighty-four Proprietors to whom the
large Tract of Land called Farmington was granted, as may be
seen in the Records of the town, where, in the several Division
Lots were layd out to him, the s4 John Lee.”
Undisputable evidence of his arrival in this country under the
guardianship of William Westwood may be found on another
page, (Petition to Lordships, etc.)
After spending one year with his guardian at Cambridge,
Mass., he came with him to Hartford in 1635, where he spent his
boyhood, perhaps a portion of his time under the tutorship of
o4 JOHN LEE
Samuel Stone, the teacher of the day and assistant minister, who
died in 1659. The school house is supposed to have been
located a little south+ of the present post office building, in
Hartford.
In 1641, the year following the first coming of the whites to
Farmington, he joined their little band, and became one of the
first eighty-four proprietors of the township. As he was but just
21 at that time, it is probable that he had inherited property, or
funds were furnished him by his guardian to contribute his share
to the purchase of this tract of land from the Indians, fifteen
miles square. The public records of Farmington, previous to
1666, are missing. One account reports them as burned in Feb-
ruary of that year, when the house of John Hart, brother of Mary
Hart Lee, was attacked by the Indians and burned, and the whole
family perished except one lad, who was absent. This would
indicate that John Hart was town clerk. Another account
reports some other cause for their destruction, but, be the cause
whatever it may have been, we have no access to them.
It is a subject of record in the State archives, that ‘‘ John Lee
was sworn constable at a particular court at Hartford, March 4,
1657,” an officer of great importance at that date, being con-
sidered as the ‘‘ right arm of the law,” and chief executive officer
of the town.
In 1658 he married Mary, daughter of Deacon Stephen Hart,
first deacon, and ‘‘ pillar of the church,” (see article, Stephen
Hart). It has long been current that she was born about 1635,
but this is evidently an error, as her second brother, younger
than herself, Stephen, Jr., was born in 1634, as shown by dates
on his tombstone. Mary was probably born in 1630-31. She
and her husband joined the church at Farmington, July 15, 1660.
His home lot was located on the west side of the main street
of Farmington, and may be designated now as the ground
occupied by the noted ladies’ school of the Misses Porter.
The original town of Farmington belonging to the eighty-four
proprietors, was fifteen miles square, including the present towns
of Farmington, Southington, Bristol, Burlington, New Britain,
Berlin and Kensington, in all of which land was assigned to him
in the general division, consisting of many hundred acres.
Remnants of these lands are still owned by his descendants in
Southington, Bristol and New Britain, having never been sold
out of the family during a period of 250 years.
That portion of his life at Farmington, consisting of forty-nine
years, was spent during a period when the whole community was
AND DESCENDANTS. 55
more or less harassed by fear of depredations of the Indians.
Seldom did the settlers feel themselves perfectly safe, and as late
as 1691, a committee was appointed, of which John Lee, Jun. was
one, to designate seven houses, to be fortified against attacks by
the Indians.
Our ancestor died Aug. 8, 1690 (old style), and was buried in
the old cemetery at Farmington, and his grave was designated by
the usual headstone of that day, but which in the course of time
disappeared, no one of the present generation being able to
account for it. A few years since, however, it was brought to
light through the efforts of Rev. Samuel Lee of New Ipswich,
N. H.—it having sunken into the soil out of sight. It is a coarse,
unhewn slab,20x2g inches in dimensions, the lettering being rough
and jagged as the slab itself.
William H. Lee of New York, a native of New Britain—with a
generosity worthy the name he bore—had a beautiful monument
erected in its place ‘‘executed in Glasgow, Scotland. It is of
dark gray Scotch granite, highly polished, standing seventeen
feet high, upon a base four feet square. The inscription on the
old stone has been carefully reproduced on one side of the
monument. The name JOHN LEE in large block letters on the
base is surmounted by the die, upon which are the inscriptions,
and above which is the main shaft of obelisk proportions.”

‘“THE JOHN LEE MONUMENT,” FARMINGTON, CONN.
After the erection of the monument in 1876, the old headstone
was deposited in New Britain with Lee Bros. & Co., merchants,
in whose custody it remained till 1895. Deeming it insecure
from fire, it was suggested by some of the kindred that it be
returned to the cemetery. Accordingly, on August 24, 1895,
having been provided with a suitable stone base, it was placed
beside the monument, where it now rests.
The vacant space of a few square yards, adjacent to the monu-
ment on the north, is presumed to contain the remains of his two
sons, John and Thomas, and perhaps of other kindred, but no
headstones have been found, though the ground has been thor-
oughly probed.
‘‘ His homestead, after his death,” so says Deacon Seth Lee in
his manuscript, ‘‘ was inherited by his son John, (2), who lived
there during his life, when it descended to Hezekiah, (13),
youngest son of John, (2). Hezekiah then sold the Lee House,
about 1750-60, to Elijah Cowles, who now occupies it, (about
1766,) removing with his family to Goshen, Litchfield county,
where he died in 1762.”

‘*Mary, his widow, married January 5, 1692, Jedediah Strong,
son of Elder John Strong of Northampton, Mass., to which
place she removed, taking with her the two younger children.
She was the third wife of Jedediah Strong. He was born May 7,
1637. The following account of her death may be found in the
records of Northampton :
Jedediah Strong and wife ‘set out early in the morning to
visit their children at Coventry, (Ct..) but when they came
against the Falls at South Hadley among the broad smooth
stones, the horses feet slipped up, and he fell flat on the off side,
and by the fall killed the woman, tho’ she was not quite dead
then, but had life in her till next day, yet never spoke a word.”
‘(October 9, 1710). Died October 10, 1710. It is reasonable to
presume that she was buried in the Northampton cemetery, but
several hours spent by the writer in the ancient part of the ceme-
tery in 1891, and another thorough search a couple of years later,
failed to reveal it. If a headstone was erected it has probably
disappeared, as did that of her husband in Farmington.
Her husband went to reside with those children, and died at
Coventry, May 22, 1733.

‘¢ The question of his nativity being settled, there remain the
two following queries, of great interest to us all, and which, if
solved, will give new matter to whoever may undertake to com-
plete this imperfect genealogy.
‘First, John (1) was a ward of the Westwoods, and lived with
them until he removed to Farmington. The circumstances all go
to show that his relations were those of consanguinity ; but this
can only be called inferential, and not now susceptible of proof.
Second, Who were his parents and family, and what relation
did he bear to those of his name, who emigrated from Essex Co.
about the same period of time, and of whom brief mention is
made in this work?”—Sarah M. Lee.

WILL OF HEZEKIAH LEE, OF HARWINTON, CONN.,
AUGUST 24, 1762.
IN THE NAME OF GOD. AMEN.
The last Will and Testament of HEZEKIAH LEE, of Harwinton,
Litchfield County, Colony of Connecticut, in New England.
I, HEZEKIAH LEE, being under indisposition of body, but in sound
mind and memory, and sensible of my own mortality, do make this,
my last Will and Testament, that is to say:
FOURTH GENERATION. 63
Imprimis. JI do give my soul to God, who gave it, and my body
to the earth, to be decently buried by Christian friends, not doubting
of the resurréction of it at the last day.
And as touching such worldly estate as God has blessed me with,
I dispose of the same in manner following :
First. Ido give tomy well-beloved wife, Sarah Lee, one-third part
of my moveable estate, to be hers and at her disposal forever. I give
her also the benefit and improvement of one-third part of my land in
Harwinton, with the use also of one-third part of the buildings
thereon during her natural life.
Secondly. I give to my son Hezekiah all my lands lying in the
township of New Hartford, to be his and his heirs forever. I give him
also one-fourth part of my books, ny great Bible excepted—my wife
being to have one-fourth part in her thirds of the moveables.
Thirdly. Having given already to my daughter Sarah, who is now
deceased, all that portion that I designed to give her, which I suppose
to have amounted to four hundred pounds, old tenor, I therefore pro-
ceed and say: I give to my daughter Mary Williams, thirty pounds
in bills of public credit in Connecticut, besides what I have already
given her; also one fourth part of my books, my Bible excepted.
Fourthly, I give to my son Samuel, the remainder of my land in
Harwinton, and the buildings also; and the whole thereof after my
wife’s decease, to be his and his heirs forever. I give him also my
great Bible and all the remaining part of my moveables.
And now having lands in Goshen with buildings thereon, not yet
disposed of, my will is that the executors of this, my Will, do sell the
same and therewith pay my lawful debts; and if there be money left
of the sale after my debts are paid, my will is, that it be laid out to
purchase land in Harwinton, for my son Samuel, so as to make him
have one hundred acres in Harwinton, if sufficient to purchase so
much: and if there should afterwards be any money left, to be in the
hands of the executors to dispose of as they shall think fit.
Having, also, lands in Farmington, not disposed of in this, my Will,
I give it into the hands and power of the executors to dispose of as
they shall think may be best.
Moreover, I do constitute and appoint my well-beloved wife Sarah,
and my son Samuel, executors of this, my last Will and Testament,
hereby revoking ali and other Wills and Testaments, declaring them
null and void, and pronounce this to be my last Will and Testament,
made and dated in Harwinton, the fourth day of July, A. D. 1762.

he once lifted a new cart, with nine of the heaviest men of the
town in it, by placing himself under the axle—he would hop forty
feet at three bounds and throw a stone a good distance with the
precision of the ancient slingers. He entered with great zeal
into the national struggle for independence; was appointed one
of the examining committee on the qualifications of applicants for
the ‘‘ Post of Surgeon” in the army, and was himself in the ser-
vice as surgeon on the Oliver Cromwell. While in the army

Capt. Lathrop was descended in a direct line from Rev. John
Lathrop, pastor of the first Independent Church in England, who
came to New England in 1634; was the first minister of the
church at Scituate, Mass, and later at Barnstable. The grand-
mother of Capt. John, was Mercy, daughter of Samuel Baker, of
Barnstable, whose mother was Fear Robinson of Leyden. The
mother of Capt. Lathrop was Sybil Backus, daughter of Rev.
Samuel Whiting, the first minister of the Congregational Church,
at Windham, a son of Rev. John Whiting of Hartford. Mrs.
Whiting was the daughter of Rev. Wm. Adams of Dedham,
Mass.; her mother was Alice, daughter of Deputy Governor -
William Bradford, son of Governor Bradford of the May Flower ;
so it can be truly said of him and his descendants that they have
a good share of the best Puritan blood in New England.

This was the first medicine of the kind patented in this country,
and to this day is extensively known and appreciated as one of

his father, was a generous, self-sacrificing man, honored in his
profession ; securing the lasting good-will and friendship of all
his acquaintance. He married March, 1794, Lucy, dau. of Dr.

79. CuHarLes 5, youngest son of Dr. Samuel +, 30, was one of
the first to institute genealogical research in our family, and a
sketch of the life and character of him, to whom we are so largely
indebted for this Memorial, will not be out of place.
‘‘His father died when he was fourteen years of age. After
‘spending a year or two at the ‘Westfield Academy’ in Massa-
chusetts, residing with his uncle, Dr. Joshua Sumner, he was
placed in the store of Col. Tinker at Vernon, a leading business
man in the eastern part of the State. He remained there, gain-
ing a thorough knowledge of mercantile life, until he went into
business for himself as a merchant in his native town. In 1822
he commenced the manufacture of cotton yarn, in a mill built by
himself on the Willimantic River, in what is now, 1878, the large
and flourishing borough of Willimantic. He was the pioneer of
manufacturing, and the founder of that pleasant village.
‘*Rev. Dennis Platt, of South Norwalk, in his ‘ Reminiscences
of Deacon Lee,’ says: ‘When in the summer of 1827, I went to
Willimantic, with a commission from the ‘Home Missionary -
Society of Connecticut’ to labor in that village, I found Deacon
Lee earnestly engaged in his business of manufacturing, and lead-
ing all the public improvements then going on. How he managed
to superintend his large business, and yet preserve that settled
calmness which was his prominent characteristic, was to me a
matter of special wonder. When the labors of the day were ended,
he threw off all care, and was as genial in his family, and as socia-
74 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN 2,
ble with his neighbors, and as ready for the evening meeting—in
which he always took part—as if he had nothing to trouble him ;
indeed, so perfect was his self-command, that he could sleep at
night, after a day’s harassing business, as most men do who have
nothing to think of but their daily tasks. _He had a sound mind
in a sound, healthy body, and was admirably fitted for the position
he occupied as leading manufacturer and prominent member of
society. At this time he was an active member and also Deacon
of the Congregational church at Windham; his services there
were much needed and highly appreciated ; he had his horses and
carriage and could take his family the three-and-a-half miles with
little inconvenience; but he saw the wants of the people around
him, and felt the necessity of religious ordinances at Willimantic,
not only for his own people, but also for those belonging to the,
other manufactories that had sprung up around him. Without a
moment’s hesitation, he threw his whole energies into the work,
and never faltered or grew discouraged until the thing was ac-
complished. There was at that time no ‘meeting house’ in the
place; no organized church of any denomination, not even a
Sabbath-School, but there were two School-houses open to
religious services.
‘‘Arrangements were made for using these on alternate Sab-
baths; a congregation was soon gathered, and after a few months
a Congregational church was organized, of which Deacon Lee
was the first deacon.
‘¢Then it was proposed to build a house of worship. Deacon
Lee gave the land, adding a generous subscription, and by his
persevering, earnest efforts, the work was accomplished. The
result of these two years of labor, and of self-sacrifice, was a
church of fifty members, a flourishing Sabbath-School, and a
large congregation. Deacon Lee has gone to his rest. If he
looks back from the ‘blessed shore’ to review the history of his
labors, he must see that his two years of labor in founding the
church at Willimantic were the most productive of his life.”
The prostration in the manufacturing business, consequent
upon the financial crisis of 1829, led him to abandon the business
in which he was engaged at Willimantic, and remove to Norwich
in the spring of 1831. He was first, book-keeper for the firm of
Gilman & Ripley, Druggists, and later, secretary of the ‘‘Chel-
sea Manufacturing Co.,”’ whose paper works were at Greenville,
continuing in that office until about three years before his death,
when the corporation ceased to exist. In 1842 the firm of Lee &
Osgood, Druggists, was formed, of which he was senior partner.
SIXTH GENERATION. 75
While in this business they manufactured the famous Windham
Pills, of which Dr. Samuel was the inventor. This cut of the
label used for the boxes of pills may be of interest.
‘Asa business man Deacon Lee was upright, straightforward,
and honest; very methodical and precise, with a clear head, and
most excellent judgment.’ An infirmity in his hearing debarred
him from taking part in public gatherings, but he was very warmly
interested in all that pertained to the welfare of the nation or the
general good of society; exercising in his earnest, quiet way, an
influence that was felt by allaround him. As a friend and neigh-
bor he was warm-hearted and sincere; his genial manners, and
unobtrusive kindness of heart, made those his strongest friends
who knew him best. Asa Christian, he was revered and honored
in all the churches with which he was connected.
At an early age he was ‘‘hopefully converted to God,” and
‘united with the church in Vernon, commencing at once to labor
for his Master, and ceasing not from such labors until he ‘‘ entered
into rest,” his Christian character growing brighter and brighter
as he neared the ‘‘other shore.” His deafness prevented him
from hearing the voices of his Pastor and brethren in the church,
but his seat was never vacant in the ‘‘house of God,” or in the
prayer meeting, except by reason of sickness or absence from
home; he was in all respects a worthy descendant of good Dea-
con Hart, and John Lee.

76 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN 2,
To Sarah Marsh Lee, we as a family, are more deeply indebted
than to any other individual, and not only is it fitting that some
record of her life should be given in these pages as a mark of
respect and appreciation of her generous labors, but also to
gratify the interest of so many who have known her—as the
author of our Lee Book—by correspondence—and, a favored
few, by affectionate personal intercourse.
Her early life was that of a New England child, trained with
almost Puritanic strictness. Her love of fun and frolic was great,
and strengthened in childhood by her healthy and active temper-
ament, but her innate sense of propriety kept her within the
bounds of decorum.
She attended the academy in Norwich, and later, the one in
Westfield, but her health, unbroken until then, was injured by
over-study, and she was obliged henceforth to depend on the >
desultory but effective methods of general reading.
When about forty years old her hearing became defective, and
increasingly fettered her social activities, and limited her pleas-
ures. For several years before her death she did not attend
church, as she could not hear any of the services, even by the use
of the apparatus specially arranged for her when the church was
built. She heard no sound save by using an ear trumpet, and
then often with great weariness to herself, but she was so ani-
mated and sympathetic in all that interested her friends that they,
unchecked by any sign from her, often talked with her till she
was wearied to illness. This infirmity led her to have a large
correspondence in which she took much pleasure, and by which
she greatly helped her friends in their daily life, and especially
in the crisis of joy or sorrow. She accepted her deafness and all
its consequent trials with Christian philosophy.
Much that has been said of the character of her father was
true of Miss Lee. She also, was ‘‘upright, straightforward and
honest, with a clear head, and most excellent judgment” and
her companionship with him had given her a breadth of mental
vision, which she perhaps, could have attained in no other way.
There seemed to be no weak link in the chain of her endowments
for good. Truthful and just in thought and word, she was yet
charitable toward the erring. Generous, not only to the large
circle of her friends, but to all whose need was known to her;
interested in all that was helpful tothe church or the community,
and aiding to the full extent of her power, she quietly did an
amount of good, known only to her God. The objects dearest to
her heart were those in which her parents had been specially in-
SIXTH GENERATION. U0
terested: the American Missionary Association ; Seamen’s Friend
Society; Home Missionary Society; but every appeal, by the
charities of her church, of the city, or by the needs of destitution
in any place, met a ready response limited only by her ability.
‘Of her liberality too much cannot be said.” In this connection
it may be proper to say, that the expense of publishing our first
‘Lee Book” was largely met by Miss Lee, as the receipts from
the sale of copies fell far short of the cost of publication.
As a Sabbath-School teacher she was enthusiastic. For some
years she had a class of German young people whom she taught
in their own language. When she was very young, and before
she united with the church, she taught a class of young boys with
marked success, and they visited her to the latest years of her
life. For many years, beginning when she was a young lady, she
was a tract distributor in a part of the town where the population
was such that two ladies always went together, as it was unsafe
for one to go alone.
Miss Lee was finely educated, and all her life kept in line with
the progress of thought on all vital questions, especially in the
department of missions, at home and abroad.
In practical life she was efficient, self-reliant, accurate, and re-
markably persistent. With these characteristics of strength, were
mingled a ready sympathy for others, a warm and demonstrative
affection, and a yearning for love and appreciation, almost pathetic
in one so strong and well fitted to stand alone.
Her closing years were spent in her beautiful home in Norwich.
Tenderly cared for by one who was the son of her father’s
adoption, honored and beloved by all who knew her, she quietly
awaited the summons which called her to the land where she
should hear the voices of those, so many, who would give her a
joyous welcome.

SEVENTH GENERATION. 79
world should be the richer because he had
lived in it. Because he has died the world
is the poorer, and the loss to his home
circle is irreparable.
In 1872, with his father, Mr. Lee went to
Connecticut, that together they might
visit the scenes of the boyhood of the
elder man. They spent several hours in
the cemetery at Farmington, searching
more especially for the grave of John Lee
the emigrant. At length wearied and
perhaps discouraged, the father went to
the home of a friend for an hour’s rest.
During his absence the son, unwilling to
abandon the search, while strolling around
the yard, by accident hit a small stone
with his foot, and trying to turn it aside,
he found it firmly fixed in the ground.
This excited his curiosity, and with a
picket found near by, he dug the stone
from the ground, and after clearing away
the earth, made out the inscription, now
so familiar to us all, but which then had
been hidden for generations. When the
father returned, and a comparison of
dates proved that here was indeed that
for which they had sought, their delight
and enthusiasm can well be imagined.
This was July 138, 1872.
At once it was thought desirable to
mark thespot by some more lasting monu-
ment; and Rey. Mr. Lee suggested that
the expense be met by many small contri-
butions, but on conferring with Mr. W.
H. Lee of New York city, he expressed a
wish to, himself, erect a suitable monu-
ment, and the beautiful one which now
marks the resting place of our honored
ancestor, was placed there by him.
160. v. JOSEPH WENTWORTH, born Jan. 20, 1855, died Sept. 5, 1855.
Rev. Samuel Lee was born in Kensington, a parish of Berlin,
March 18, 1803, and in less than two weeks afterward- his
father died, leaving him to the sole charge of his mother.
Seven years later she married Nathan Boardman, and removed
to Westfield, taking with her the two children. When a lad of
fourteen, he was for some months very ill from inflammation of
the hip joint, and not only was obliged to use crutches for years,
80 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN 2,
but, as a consequence, was always lame, though later he recov-
ered much of his former agility. This illness determined the
whole course of his life. While on what was supposed to be his
death-bed, his pastor visited him, and prayed that he might
recover and become a minister of God. Never before had he
thought of the possibility of such a life. Never after could he
feel that he might devote his life to any other calling. In the
face of poverty and disease, he fitted for college; a part of the
time the pupil of Rev. S. G. Goodrich, (Peter Parley,) earning
money by ‘‘ teaching for seven dollars a month, boarding ’round,
and going on crutches.” He graduated at Yale College in 1827,
and from New Haven Theological Seminary in 1830. November
4, 1830, he was ordained the pastor of the Congregational church
in Sherborn, Mass., which had just separated from the parent
Unitarian church. At the ordination, Dr. Taylor of New Haven’
preached the sermon, Dr. Lyman Beecher gave the charge, and
Dr. Pond of Bangor addressed the people. Here he remained
five years, ‘‘until all his congregation were converted.” The
church in New Ipswich, N. H., then the second largest in the
State, called him to be their pastor, though they had never heard
him preach, and he was installed there May 5, 1836, and dis-
missed November 4, 1860, on account of feeble health. He
never took another pastorate, though, after some years given to
recuperation, he was able to follow the studies in which his soul
delighted, and he published two books: ‘‘ Eschatology,”’ endorsed
as a book of reference by President Porter of Yale College; ‘‘The
Bible Regained,” (dedicated to his daughter), and numerous
articles for the theological periodicals. During the later years of
his life he preached in neighboring pulpits, as he had oppor-
tunity. August 18, 1878, though not in usual health, he preached
at the Baptist church in New Ipswich, from the text: ‘And
Abraham died, an old man, and full” The effort was too much
for his strength. He went home and to his bed, from which he
was never again to rise. In a few days paralysis rendered the
left side helpless, and for three years it was his mission to show
the graces of patience and submission, and to be ministered
unto as a child. August 27, 1881, the end came, and he joined
the large company of those dear to him by the ties of family and
religious kinship who had preceded him to the heavenly world.
Mr. Lee’s activities were not confined to his parish. Early in
and continued
the work for many years. His labors were abundantly blessed.
?
his ministry he attended ‘‘protracted meetings,’
At Rindge, N. H., more than fifty people ascribed their conver-
SEVENTH GENERATION. 81
sion to a single sermon. ‘‘ ‘Behold the Lamb of God’ he said in
accents so tender and impressive that burdened souls, hearing
only these words, saw, as in a vision, Christ to be their Saviour.”
Earnest in every good work, he was active in all measures that
looked toward progress for good. He was prominent in State
Christian charities; temperance and anti-slavery reforms had
his aid.
He helped the cause of Education in every way in his power ;
as one of those who originated Teachers’ Institutes, the fore-
runner of Normal Schools; as Superintendent of Public Schools ;
in Appleton Academy as ‘‘trustee, instructor, lecturer and
counsellor, and friend of the student ;” in the State Legislature,
and in helpful intercourse with the young. He was especially
happy in his guidance of young men, and the Church owes some
of its bright hghts to his influence.
Mr. Lee had a character of rare strength ; determined, persist-
ent, self-reliant, of positive judgments, methodical, and of great
executive ability, yet his strength was saved from harshness by ‘‘a
nature most kind and sympathetic, abounding in all gentle
courtesies and charities,” and ‘‘singularly attractive social quali-
ties.” As a writer, he had fertility of thought and fluency of
expression ; was ‘‘a trained logician, acute metaphysician, and
apt in illustration.”” His sermons, though preached from very
brief notes, were ‘‘felicitous in analysis and arrangement,” and
he had ‘a fervor and spirituality in devotion never to be
forgotten.”
The Hollis Association of ministers, of which Mr. Lee was for
many years a member, in resolutions passed after his death,
accord to him the possession of ‘‘superior intellectual powers, a
noble, generous, cordial nature, a firm belief in the essential
doctrines of Revelation, and unusual power as a preacher.”
Socially he was a staunch friend, helpful in all emergencies,
chivalric, a stimulating companion, helpful and appreciative
critic, and wise counsellor.
The fullest and ripest wealth of his nature in all its best
manifestations, was shown in his home in a degree appreciated
only by those who there knew him.
When comparatively a young man, Mr. Lee became interested
in learning everything possible about his ancestors. About 1852
he learned that Dea. Charles Lee was engaged in the same
pursuit, and they became mutually helpful; after Dea. Lee’s
death his daughter Sarah Marsh, and Mr. Lee continued their
researches. About 1870 he opened a correspondence with Mr.
82 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN 2,
William Henry Lee of New York City, and they found to their
mutual pleasure that they were relatives; and for years they
carried on a voluminous correspondence. The discovery of the
headstone of John! seemed to give them something tangible as
a rallying point, and the enthusiasm of both gentlemen was
aroused. After an exchange of many letters, the millionaire
furnished the monument, and the clergyman selected the
Biblical texts and arranged the inscriptions.
William Henry said to the daughter of Rev. Samuel, “‘I owe a
great deal to your father. He was the one who first aroused my
interest in genealogy.”
In 1874, Mr. Lee furnished for the New England Historical and
Genealogical Register an article containing the record of the first
four generations of our family (aided in this, as in all his literary
pursuits, by his daughter), which involved a great deal of labor,
as the older the manuscript, generally the more illegible it is
found to be.
In the delirium preceding the paralysis which closed his life,
Mr. Lee was greatly troubled, lest some important genealogical
records had been lost, and was reassured only by having them
brought to him, and the partial reading of the Lee Book of 1878
was among his last conscious pleasures.

Miss Lee was a rare character.
Her early life was spent in a
New England home with its almost Spartan simplicity. Her
education from books was gained first in the district school, and
later in the State Normal School, from which she graduated in
1860, and soon after was sent by the State Superintendent of-
Public Instruction to Oswego, to learn the Pestalozzian methods,
then being introduced there. She entered with enthusiasm into
the method of teaching, being convinced, ‘‘that there is a natural
and beautiful way of teaching everything.” In 1862 she was sent
by the State Superintendent to open a Training School for
Teachers in Davenport, Iowa. She afterwards taught in other
Normal Schools, and lectured before Institutes and Sabbath
84 ° DESCENDANTS OF JOHN 2,
School Conventions. With Dwight L. Moody she. spent a
summer in Illinois, exemplifying the Pestalozzian system to
bodies of Sabbath-School teachers.
Miss Lee had always wished to study medicine, and though
for years prevented from carrying out her wish, perseverance
conquered, and in 1874 she graduated from the medical depart-
ment of the University of Michigan. The following year she
became connected with the State Normal School at Oswego, N.Y.,
as teacher of Physiology, and she also had a general charge
of the health of the school, and retained that position during the
remainder of her life, except two years spent in Europe. During
the last years of her teaching she had charge of classes in “the
closely related subjects of Zoology, Physiology, Physical Culture
and the Methods in these branches.” In gymnastics she was an
enthusiastic follower of Delsarte, and in addition to teaching in
classes, she lectured extensively—at Cornell, before the Saveur
College of Languages, Boston School of Oratory, and at many
other places, seeking to introduce this method. She was the
author of one or more school books.
We are allowed to quote from an autobiography, which though
written in the third person, is an unmistakable reflection of the
character of the writer.
‘‘While the school life was so barren, the other life was fruit-
ful. The girl early made intimate acquaintance with the
domestic animals; learned their individual dispositions, * * *
broke steers and colts; taught her beloved dog, Dime, to draw
her on a sled; knew every sheep in her father’s flock by its
countenance, and converted them into a pet flock, which crowded
about her as she entered the pasture. She drove the oxen while
her father plowed, and when particularly fine geological speci-
mens were turned up by the steel nose, her father would
‘breathe’ the oxen while he named the stones, and pointed out
their peculiarities; flowers and their parts were taught her by her
father, and on their long rides, beauties of earth and sky, of
meadow and mountain, were made subjects of conversation. * *
She became a girl who gloried in her strength, who would not be
bound by any garment; who always ‘swelled up’ when ‘Miss
Liddy’ was fitting her dresses; who when she studied physiology,
promptly adopted all hygienic modes of living, was ‘as strong as
an ox,’ and rejoiced in the fact that she could work all day just
as well asa boy. Inall this, the gentle and refined father saw
education, and ‘cause for ‘congratulation, 45) “0 * ss Wath uitire

things, from a raft to a hen-house. She became useful and
trusted on the farm; important interests were committed to her.

work. * * * but there was no teacher big, wise, and brave
enough to use these materials. * * * No one knew howto get

- 7) oince reachine maturity, Dr leelhas worked not so
much to give information, as to influence life. She often remem-
bers the Granby girl she knew years ago, and hopes that some
other girl may have her home and school life wedded in healthful
union through her direct or indirect influence.”
Mrs. Mary S. Barnes, now Prof. of History at Palo-Alto, Cal-
ifornia, says of her: ‘‘The record of her life is on the face of it,
that of an ardent, free and active soul, concerned with nature and
life. Such she was; and because she was such, she was often
regarded as peculiar and aggressive; but her peculiarities were
always on the side of sense, and her aggressions sprung from a
genuine wish to befriend and improve. What always struck me
as most peculiar in her character was its constant progress ; there
was not a bit of conservatism in her nature; and age could not
touch her. She abandoned the old for the new without a moment’s
hesitation if the new was better; her entrance into medicine, her
return to teaching, her devotion in her later years to Delsartism
are illustrative. Yet her life was a unit, in its tastes, ambitions,
and spirit.”
After the death of Dr. Lee, the Local Board of the Oswego
State Normal School,held a special meeting to take suitable action
with reference to the sad event, and adopted a memorial to be
entered upon their minutes, from which we quote the closing
sentence, ‘‘ Her lovely Christian character and life, her labors for
temperance, her sympathy with, and ready aid in, every move-
ment tending toward improved social conditions, endeared her to
the community in which she lived, and make the sense of loss by
her death extend much beyond the school which for nearly twenty
years had been graced and elevated by her presence, example and
noble and successful labors.”

While a young man, Mr. Lee was employed by his aunt, Mrs.
Emma Willard, in the office of the Troy Female Seminary, and
by improving every opportunity obtained a good education. For
many years he was a prominent merchant in Troy, N. Y., and
Cincinnati. In 1861 he bought a farm in Marysville, Ohio, and
there spent the remainder of his life.
He was always and everywhere a Christian gentleman, public-
spirited, and a power for good; the object of his life was to make
the world better. He had a wide range of reading, and was of
scholarly tastes with strong metaphysical tendencies. One who
as a young man, was aclerk in his store said of him: ‘‘ For halfa
century I have known him, and during that time I cannot recalla
word or act of his that was unchristian or unmanly.”
‘‘During his long and useful career, Mr. Lee was prominently
connected with the Presbyterian and Congregational churches,
holding the position of Elder and Deacon in each, being elected
to the latter position in the local Congregational church in 1864,
and holding that place till his death.”
The later years of his life were made happy by the society of
his children and grandchildren. As the infirmities of age in-
creased, he loosed his hold on the interests of this life and fast-
ened it on those of a higher one. For years, his many hours of
wakefulness were cheered by thoughts of that heavenly world, in
whose twilight he waited for many months. Gradually the hght
grew brighter, and December 29, 1896, he entered that city which
eye hath not seen.

Oct. 25, 1862; mustered out on expiration
of term of service, Oct. 25, 1864.
The following testimony is by Rey. H. C. Trumbull, Chaplain
Githe Lenthe:
92 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN 2,
‘‘Captain Greaves will be remembered by his comrades as a
brave soldier, possessing fine qualities of mind, and many attrac-
tive traits of personal character. The fact that he was in com-
mand of the company in the ranks of which he went out from
Stamford, when hardly a year had passed, and that too in a regi-
ment comprising such material as the Tenth, with its bright record
for discipline, hard fighting and thorough efficiency, evidenced
his superiority in much that went to make a first-class soldier.”
General J. L. Otis gives this estimate of his military character:
‘¢His conduct in action was always commendable. I always con-
sidered coolness and self-possession in action the most valuable
characteristics an officer could possess, and Captain Greaves had
these in a remarkable degree.”
The officers of the Tenth thus testify to the military character
of Captain Greaves: ‘‘ Never flinching in the hour of danger,
never failing in the performance of any task assigned him, he won
the confidence of his commanders, and the respect of those whom
he commanded.
‘His record of patriotic services is one in which those who love
him may have just pride, and his early death is sincerely lamented
by many who knew his capabilities of usefulness.”

Vols., and was in actual service for the first time at the battle of
Antietam. ‘‘His company never stacked arms when he was not
with them. Once he was the highest officer in his Company on
the field. April 20, 1864, he was captured at Plymouth, N. C.,
and taken to Andersonville, remaining there eight months, and
at Florence and Richmond three months longer. During his
100 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN 2,-
imprisonment, starvation and disease made him delirious, and
when reason returned he found that the left side of his body had
been frozen. He was an invalid all the remainder of his life.
The crowning act of his whole life is well described in the
Hartford Post by a comrade and fellow sufferer. After stating
that a petition to the National Government at Washington had
been drawn up, asking that the regular troops might be ex-
changed, but not recognizing the claims of the negro soldiers
who were imprisoned with them, he writes:
‘“‘In the 16th Connecticut was a light-haired, fair-faced, non-
commissioned officer from the town of Granby, by the name of
Richard H. Lee. He was the orderly sergeant of his company,
and the idol of his associates. Scarcely past twenty years of age,
he was a moral hero, having in him the stuff of which martyrs
must have been made. As soon as it became known generally:
that the petition was in circulation, and that the members of the
16th Reg’t would be asked to sign it, Sergeant Lee delivered a
spirited address against the measure, on the ground that it was
unjust to the negro soldiers in the camp, and in complete
violation of the policy and purposes of the government at
Washington. It was a fearless stand against the selfishness of
men who thought only of escape from the frightful ravages of
death, visible by every hut and tent and pathway in that cruelest
of prison yards. To the honor of the 16th Reg’t, half of whose
numbers lie in the Andersonville cemetery, not one man of the
command attached his name to that petition.”
March 9g, 1865, he was exchanged from the rebel prison, and
discharged from the service June 15, 1865.
All honor to those brave heroes, those uncrowned martyrs! In
the excitement and enthusiasm of the battle-field, many men have
been brave, but these men were starving, sick, neglected and
cruelly treated in every way; and they knew that they might be
taken away from all this to comfort and safety, merely by the
sacrifice of what, to many, would seem a claim of little importance.
Honor to them that they never faltered, and greater honor to
the youth, who, by his moral courage and enthusiasm, led them
to feel that they could not forsake those who, from ignorance
and weakness, were defenceless and helpless !
Truly, there was no braver deed in that whole war, and well
may we be proud of this hero, who belonged to our blood and
our lineage.

Mr. Loveland was born at Glastonbury in 1825. After receiv-
ing a liberal education, he entered the ministry of the Univer-
salist church and began preaching at Granby before he was
twenty-one years old. After years of labor in this profession,
his health failed, and he turned his attention to the raising of
small fruits, with such benefit to himself physically, that he again
entered the active labors of the ministry and continued in it
until his death at Granby, Sept. 22, 1884.
‘“‘He was a man of rare attainments, and fine literary ability.
While performing manual labor, his great brain was working out
some unsolved problem. He had a character of inflexible up-
rightness of purpose. The heroic deeds, the kindly acts, the
throbs of the heart given to the cause of truth and the good of
humanity, will be cherished by many a loving and loyal heart.”

The following just and appreciative notice of Mrs. Sluyter has
been written for us by her life-long friend and co-worker, Mrs.
Nathaniel Shipman :
To those who are most familiar with Mrs. Sluyter and her work in
Hartford, her career is a wonderful unfolding of the Providential
care which orders all our lives, and illustrates, in a most striking and
beautiful manner, Dr. Horace Bushnell’s famous sermon on ‘‘ Every
Man’s Life a Plan of God.” From her girlhood, she was led through
many and devious ways, through sometimes storm and stress, to the
Damascus Gate of her life, where the Heavenly Light flooded and
startled her soul, and where she first consecrated herself to missionary
service. We know how, “in obedience to the heavenly vision,” she ~
labored successfully ainong the poor of Binghamton, and now, after
twenty-four years of untiring devotion in the city of Hartford, her
watching friends and co-workers can heartily echo the words:
“What hath God Wrought.”
She is by instinct a missionary, by grace a spiritual guide, and by
experience and training, a wise, far-seeing and inspiring leader in
humanitarian work. She was among the first to apply the principles
116 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN 2,
of the ‘‘ New Charity” to such service, and demonstrated its wisdom
so early as to fairly entitle her to the name of ‘‘ Pioneer.” To use her
own words, ‘To promote self-help and right living by direct personal
contact, and every industrial, social, and religious assistance available,
is the ultimate end of the New Charity.”
This has been the underlying principle of her method as Superin-
tendent of the Union for Home Work in Hartford, for which the
whole city will always hold her in grateful and honored and loving
memory.—MV/. C. S.

Philosophy and Theology at Berlin, Germany. In addition to
his regular college duties he conducts a Bible class of three or
four hundred students, which has grown from a training class of
ten or twelve, and also, at least five other classes in different cities,
comprising about seven hundred members. He preaches occasion-
ally, and has held various positions of responsibility in connection
with the Faculty and College. He has done some writing for
publication along educational and philosophical lines, which has

Nore. —It is not the design of this work to carry out the female
branches of the family farther than the second or third generations,
unless records are voluntarily furnished, as the several lines become
difficult to trace, after the family name has been changed, through
several generations.
The following records of the Mary Lee (Upson) family are fur-
nished by descendants of her three sons, being mainly a synopsis of
their individual descent through the several generations, and which
are gladly given place in these pages.
The names of soldiers of the French and Revolutionary wars of
this branch, found on the ‘‘ Roll of Honor,” though not mentioned in
the text, were obtained from public records, and are deemed reliable,
but by no means complete.

DESCENDANTS OF MARY VER UFSON:
ELDEST DAUGHTER OF
JOMN WOE PARMINGRON:
CONTRIBUTED BY LT. Cot. HOLDRIDGE O. COLLINS,
Los ANGELES, CAL.
3. Mary Les, the second child of John Lee and Mary Hart,
his wife, daughter of Deacon Stephen Hart, was born at Farm-
ington, Conn., on August 14, 1664, and on December 29, 1682,
she was married to Sergeant Stephen Upson of Mattatuck, or
Waterbury.
By this marriage, the patronymic ceased in her line, but her
descendants have inherited those sterling qualities of integrity,
patriotism and enterprise which were the predominant character-
istics of her father, and which have placed them in the front rank
of the best citizens of this country. Throughout the length and
breadth of this land they have been distinguished in the mercan-
tile world, in the professions, in the arts and sciences, and in the
wars waged for the preservation of their Nation, equally proud,
with those who bear the name, of the Lee blood of old John of
Farmington, (No. 1. )
Of the youth and maidenhood of Mary Lee but little can be
told. The distinguished position of her grandfather, Deacon
Stephen Hart, and the wealth and tender solicitude of her father
and mother saved her from the many trials and severe labors
of the early settlers of her day, and, marrying at the early age of
eighteen years she entered upon her new life surrounded with all
the comforts and luxuries of those times which were found in
the homes of the wealthier Colonists.
146 DESCENDANTS OF MARY LEE UPSON,
Her husband, Sergeant Stephen Upson, was born in Farming-
ton about 1653. He was the son of Thomas Upson, who first
appeared in the Connecticut Colony at Hartford prior to 1638.
At Hartford on January 23, 1647, Thomas married Elizabeth Ful-
ler. He was an original proprietor and settler of Farmington at
which place he died on July 19, 1655.
Stephen Upson joined the Company at Mattatuck, or Water-
bury, where on December 29, 1679, he signed the Articles of
Association ‘‘on account of a new lot.” ‘‘He was surveyor,
school committee, grand juror, often townsman, and three times
Deputy to the General Court ;—in May 1710, October 1712 and
October 1729. He became Sergeant in 1715, and in 1729 he had
a seat with the Veterans in the new meeting house. ”
The married life of Mary Lee at Waterbury was a happy one.
She died February 15, 1716, surrounded by her children and
deeply mourned by her husband, who survived her until 1735. ;

86. Jesse, son of Daniel, No. 77, and Hannah (Judd) Upson,
born Sept. 10, 1754, married Elizabeth, dau. of Captain Thomas
Smith of East Haven, Nov. 17, 1775, born May 21, 1754. She
died May 20, 1821.
He was a soldier of the Revolution, in Captain David Smith’s
Co., under Colonel Elmore, in 1776, and marched to the relief of
Fort Stanwix (now Rome, N. Y.) In 1777 he was Corperal in
Captain Jesse Curtiss’ Co., under Colonel Noadiah Hooper, and
in service at Peekskill and along the Hudson. In 1779 he was
present at the attack of the British on New Haven. While
attempting to remove his family and household effects to a place
of safety, his father, being a Tory, taunted him and refused to
assist him. A summons was issued for him and others to appear
and show why they did not assist in defending the town. Huis
name is found on file with others whose excuses were accepted.
There is a tradition that he was captured on that occasion, and
carried to Halifax, where he suffered much from hunger, and was
made to officiate as a barber. Some years after the war he
removed to Wolcott, and his name appears on the church records
in 1803-6, as one of the Prudential Committee. He died March
25, 1833, aged 79. Children:

THIRD GENERATION.
4. STEPHEN ?, son of John}, the immigrant, was the first
settler in that portion of the original tract of land, called in 1707,
‘‘Great Swamp ;” in 1720, Kensington, and, in 1754, New Britain.
He received a grant from the town in January, 1689 ‘‘of 5 roods
of land on the westerly side of the highway, (provided, it doth
not hinder former grants,) and the watering place; he building
on it within four years, or else it is to return to the town again.”
In March following, application was made to ‘‘the Court” ‘‘to
lay out Stephen Lee’s lot, as near as they can, according to
grant.”” Huis house, afterwards known as the ‘‘ Hinsdale House,”’
was for many years ‘‘one of the grandest houses in New Britain.”
It was taken down in 1834.
A church was organized in 1710, and in 1712 Rev. Mr. Burnham
was settled over the Society. At the time of his settlement there
were but fourteen families in the place, and the Church consisted
of ten members. Stephen Lee was one of the ‘‘seven pillars of
the Church ;” his name stands next to that of the minister, and he
sat ‘‘in the first ‘pue’ next the pulpit.”” He was chosen, Decem-
ber 18, 1693, one of a committee of three ‘‘to take care and have
inspection over the youth in y® meetinghouse on the Sabbaths
THIRD GENERATION. 167
and other days of publique exorcises.” He was one of the most
active men in securing the organization of the New Britain
Society. He died the year before the act of imcorpora-
tion was passed, but his widow, 85 years of age, was still
living at the homestead, and she became a member of the First
Church of New Britain when it was organized, having with her
husband united with the Church in Farmington October 5, 1709.
He was Captain of the Farmington Train Band, and bore that
title from middle age.
He married October 1, 1690, Elizabeth Royce of Wallingford,
dau. of Isaac and Elizabeth (Lathrop), his wife. He died June
7, 1753, aged 87. A red sandstone in the old cemetery at
‘‘Great Swamp” (now Christian Lane) marks his last resting
place. His widow died May 2, 1760, aged gr years, and is buried

brother, Josiah, deeded the other half for a double purpose; to
lead to the meeting-house, and to the ‘‘burying-yard.” The meet-

apart for that purpose. ‘‘ The oldest grave in the yard is 1756.”

The name of Col. Lee, from early manhood, is prominent
on the records of the Town, Church and State. No one in
the town. exercised more influence in shaping its civil and relig-
ious affairs, and for years they were so largely intrusted to his
care that he was called ‘‘the Father of the Town.” He was one
of the first ‘‘School Visitors,’”’ and one of those who established a
free public Library about 1775-80. He was the principal magis-
trate for thirty years, and administered with wisdom and impar-
tiality. Controversies among the people were submitted to his
judgment, and so great was the confidence in his intelligence,
unswerving integrity and uprightness, that his decisions were
universally accepted ; in fact, had almost the force of law.
Col. Lee’s influence was not confined to his native town, but
was largely felt in the councils of the Colony and the State.
With the exception of four years, he was a member of the Colonial
Assembly from 1761 to 1775, was a representative in the General
Assembly of the State from its first session in 1776, until 1791,
with the exception of the years 1779-82. He wasa member of
the Assembly, which, headed by Gov. Jonathan Trumbull and
other officers of the State, met in Hartford, October, 1776, and
took the ‘‘Oath of Fidelity of Allegiance” to the new govern-
ment of the United States, and upon the adoption of the Con-
stitution, he was a delegate from the town of Berlin to the con-
obits sae nn

vention that met at Hartford, January 1788, for its ratification.
During all this important epoch in our Colonial and State history,
Col. Lee held relations of friendship and intimacy with the lead-
ing patriots of the day, and shared with them the labor and
responsibility of moulding our civil institutions. Col. Lee was
also identified with the military organizations of the Colony,
receiving his commission as Captain in May, 1767, the record
being: ‘‘This assembly do establish Mr. Isaac Lee, Jr. to be
Captain of the 13th Co. of the Train Band, in the Sixth Regi-
ment, in this Colony.” In October, 1767, he was appointed
Lieutenant-Colonel ; and in March, 1775, Colonel of the Fifteenth
Regiment. In 1776, at the age of 60, he resigned his commission,
asking the Assembly not to reappoint him.
At the first meeting of the New Britain Ecclesiastical Society,
‘‘TIsaac Lee was choyce of for Society Clark.” He was for many
years a Deacon in the Congregational church, and contributed
largely to its prosperity, and ‘‘ was one of the only two laymen of
the church, who were ever heard to pray in public.” In 1754,
a portion of the town of Berlin became a separate society, and
Col. Lee gave to it the name of New Britain, in honor of Great
Britain, the home of his ancestors.
The manners of Col. Lee were courtly and dignified; his
presence, tall and commanding; and his dress that of the digni-
taries of Colonial times, vzz.: a cocked hat, white wig, blue coat,
with metal buttons, white cravat, black velvet breeches with silver
knee-buckles, white silk stockings, and shoes with large silver
buckles. ‘‘He was one of the two men in New Britain—Rev.
Dr. Smalley being the other—who were treated with the utmost
reverence. When he was approaching or passing, all hats were
doffed, even by men laboring in the fields some distance from the
road” and the children at play ‘‘made their manners.”
In the early part of his life feats of strength, and performances
showing great agility and powers of endurance were the pastimes
and customs of the times. Young Lee was of herculean strength,
and gained a wide reputation for his successes with the champions
of the day. At Col. Lee’s first marriage an attempt was made by
a rejected suitor and his followers to ‘‘steal the bride” as was an
old-time custom. The marriage ceremony was followed by a
supper, and then by a dance in which the bride and bridegroom
‘‘led up the ball,” followed often by the minister and all the
guests. A party of young men intended to abduct the bride on
her way to her new home, but Col. Lee was watchful, and had
entered and bolted his doors, before they reached the house, but
176 DESCENDANTS OF STEPHEN,
the riotous crew broke down the door, and attempted to over-
power Col. Lee, while the leader should steal the bride. In the
battle that followed, Col. Lee seriously wounded seven men. It
is said that the custom was ever after abandoned throughout that
region.
Mrs. Emma Willard made this event the subject of her cele-
brated poem ‘‘Stealing the Bride,” which, only for its great
length, we should have been glad to copy.

may justly be proud, and a patrimony unusually large for that

General Paterson graduated at Yale in 1762, and commenced
practice as a lawyer in New Britain, soon becoming distinguished
in his profession. Early in 1774 he removed to Lenox, Mass.,
_, Dea. Lee going with him. From Lenox he was sent as repre-
sentative to the first provincial Congress which met in Boston,
Sept. 1774, and also to the Second Congress which met 1n 1775.
While there he was a member of ten different Committees, some
of them most important. In Dec. 1774, he began to prepare for
the war which he foresaw was inevitable. In May,1775, he entered
the field with his regiment as its Colonel, and was stationed near
Boston for its defence ; then was ordered to New York, then to
Canada, and afterwards joined the army of Washington crossing
the Delaware with him and taking part in the battles of Trenton
and Princeton. Feb. 21, 1777, he was appointed Brigadier-
General, and later became Major-General. He remained in service
until the close of the war, and was active in the organization of
the order of the Cincinnati in 1783. About 17g0, he removed to
Lisle, Broome Co., N. Y., and from there was a member of U. S.
Congress 1803-05. He was over six feet in height, of nervous
temperament; very active and powerful, and a noted pedestrian.
Eminent as a lawyer, respected and trusted as a citizen, he was
probably one of the most distinguished of the early citizens of
New Britain. He died at Lisle, July 19, 1808.—AHstory of New

sequently studied medicine with Dr. Todd
of Hartford; was ‘“‘ Assistant Physician”
in the ‘‘Retreat for the Insane” there;
afterwards, when 26 years old, became
Superintendent and Physician of the
‘*“M’Lean Asylum,” Charlestown, Mass.
He was distinguished for the successful
substitution of the mild for the severe
treatment of the insane. He was taken
sick while on a visit to his friend, Dr.
Woodward of the ‘*Massachusetts Hos-
pital” at Worcester, and died Oct. 29,
1836, aged 28, and was buried at Mt.
Auburn. His widow married Rev. Joseph
S. Gallagher of Bloomfield, N. J.
The trustees of the McLean Asylum, in
resolutions passed at a special meeting
after his death, speak of ‘“‘his remarkable
devotion to the pursuit in which he had
engaged, the elevation of his views, and
the propriety of the means by which he
sought to attain the most worthy objects.”
We quote from the Hartford Courant of
Novy. 1836, ‘‘Dr. Lee was the first to in-
troduce religious exercises among the
insane, and the experiment was attended
with the happiest results. He was cut off
in the midst of a bright career of useful-
ness, but not until he had matured the
plan which has done so much for the sons
and daughters of affliction.”

Mexican war was twice brevetted for gallantry; was assistant
Professor of Mathematics at West Point, 1849-’52; was engaged
with the Mexican boundary survey, and was wounded in 1859.
After the secession of Florida he resigned his commission in the
U. S. army, and was appointed Lieut-Col. of Cavalry in the Con-
federate army. He was rapidly promoted, and in Feb. 1863, as
EIGHTH GENERATION. 191
Lieutenant-General was assigned to the command of the trans-
Mississippi department, and commissioned to organize a govern-
ment, which he did. He was the last commander in the Confed-
erate army to surrender.
After the close of the war he was in succession, President of
the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Co.; President of the Western
Military Academy; Chancellor of the University of Nashville,
and Professor of Mathematics in the University at Sewanee,
Tenn., where he died, March 28, 1893.
A man of great force of character, executive ability, and
rare honesty, he had also the gentler traits which are united
to strength and bravery. Being severely wounded at the battle
of Bull Run he was carried to Lynchburg, and was there in the
care of Miss Selden, whose skill and devotion restored him to
health. He became devotedly attached to her, and soon after his
recovery they were married. Their hfe is said to have been
exceptionally happy.

‘‘Mr. Lee was one of the first to enter the manufacturing busi-
ness in the town of New Britain. He was connected with
various other institutions and business pursuits, and for a num-
ber of years was the leading man of the town. He was decidedly
a public spirited man, and took a lively interest in the affairs of
the town and State. He filled many important offices in the gift
of his town, serving in the Legislature, and being the first Post-
master in the (then) town of Berlin, receiving his commission
from President John Quincy Adams. He was an intense reader,
and one who remembered everything he read; very few men of
to-day possess a more general knowledge of every day life than
did he. When quite young he was often consulted on legal
matters, and rendered his friends many a valuable service by
drawing up documents of a legal nature, free of charge. He was
a very liberal man and contributed largely, in his time, to all the
churches. Mr. Lee had taken much interest in the family his-
tory—was a vice-president of the ‘Lee Association’ at the first
gathering in 1884, and was the oldest man present. He was
buried at New Britain with Masonic honors, being cne of the
oldest Masons in the State.”
While journeying in the Northwest in 1857, Mr. Lee chanced
to be in St. Paul when Miss Abigail Gardner, one of the survivors
of the Spirit Lake massacre, was returned from her captivity
among the Indians, and he was present when she was formally
delivered to the Governor of Minnesota by the friendly Indians -
who had rescued her. At the request of Gov. Medary, Mr. Lee
escorted Miss Gardner to her friends at Fort Dodge, and after-
wards interested himself in her behalf. During many years she
wrote him from time to time, and always with expressions of
deepest gratitude.

In accordance with the wishes of the family, the following
notice of Mr. Lee has been prepared by Mr. Leonard Lee:
‘*Mr. Lee was a well known and successful business man of
New York. Hecame of an historic Connecticut family, identified
EIGHTH GENERATION. 195
with the very beginning of the colony. Huis first business expe-
rience was in Troy, N. Y., as a clerk, and a few years later he
entered a wholesale dry goods house in New York. In 1845, he
founded the importing and jobbing firm of ‘Lee & Case,’ subse-
quently the house was changed to ‘Wm. H. Lee & Co.,’ and
finally to ‘Lee, Tweedy & Co.,’ which remains undisturbed by
his death, two of his sons being members of the firm. He was
identified with the dry goods trade more than fifty years, and for
at least half that time was among the most prominent merchants
of the metropolis. He fairly won a large fortune by honorable
business ability and enterprise, to which he added largely by
judicious investments in real estate.” —Odztuary.
He was one of the charter members of the Union League
Club, an active member of the Chamber of Commerce, and of
the Sons of the Revolution. Not only was he a shrewd and suc-
cessful merchant, but a patriotic citizen, and rendered efficient
aid to the city authorities during the civil war by his influence,
and in sustaining the enlistment of colored troops, when the
_ prejudice of a certain element of the city was threatening vio-
lence, and this, too, in view of threatened detriment to his own
business interests.
During his metropolitan residence of half a century, Mr. Lee
was always noted for public spirit in patriotic movements and in
projects for local improvements. His views on municipal ques-
tions were frequently expressed through the city press, and often
over his own signature. He advocated with ability the adoption
of many changes and improvements for the interest of the city,
the wisdom of which was proved by after experience, and all
tending to ‘‘make New York become the city of the future of
this continent.”
“There is not one among the business men of New York who
has a better right than Mr. Wm. H. Lee to regard with satisfac-
tion his career as a metropolitan merchant, nor is there one whose
record as a promoter of charitable and literary enterprise can be
quoted by his fellow citizens with greater pride than his. ~
‘“‘Notwithstanding his varied business engagements, he found
time to interest himself in biographical and genealogical studies,
in the course of which he prepared several papers and two admir-
able addresses, which were delivered before the Historical
Society, on Elihu Burritt, a townsman, and Gen. Paterson, a
Revolutionary hero, and a kinsman—papers which are highly
prized as historic documents.
‘The aid which he rendered Miss Sarah Marsh Lee in the prep-
196 DESCENDANTS OF STEPHEN,
aration and publication of ‘John Lee and his Descendants,’ in
1878 was most efficient and highly valued. In 1876, at his own
expense, he erected in the Farmington Cemetery an imposing and
beautiful monument of Scotch Granite, to the memory of John
Lee, the ancestor of our family, with which was incorporated the
original headstone, and on which was inscribed the date of his
death in 1690. He also made valuable contributions to the New
Britain Institute of his native town, of which he was a member.
‘‘Although deeply involved in business pursuits, Mr. Lee was
fond of domestic life and travel, and was noted for hospitality to
his friends—crossed the ocean several times for business or
pleasure, and traveled extensively in Europe with his family.
‘‘Hartford was for several years his summer residence, and
having for sometime been in declining health, and having also
retired from active business, he removed from his Fifth Avenue
residence in New York, in 1893, to make Hartford his future
home. His health continued to decline, until he passed away,
April 9, 1895.
‘“<His funeral was held in St. Thomas church, New York, of
which he had been for many years a warden, and his remains
were deposited in Greenwood Cemetery.”

Mr. Howard came to this country with his father about 1830,
settling in Ann Arbor, Mich. In 1847 he removed to Hartford
and organized the Merchant’s Insurance Co. ‘‘When the great
St. Louis fire of 1849 fell heavily upon Insurance companies it
was seriously proposed to let them die as failures. Mr. Howard
resisted this idea, and at his own request he braved the cholera

in St. Louis and proceeded to settle the losses. His appearance
there with money inspired the people with great confidence in
Hartford insurance.”’
He took an active part in politics from early manhood, and
was called ‘‘the Father of the Republican party” in Harttord,
and was the first Internal Revenue Collector in Connecticut, and
devised the system for collections.
Mr. Howard’s personal life was deserving the highest admira-
tion. He was controlled by a genuine sense of honor. He was
an attendant of the Asylum Hill Congregational church, and his
life was an uninterrupted expression of Christian courtesy and
principle. His example has always been on the side of right.

Special thanks are due Mrs. Coe, for facts concerning her
grandfather’s descendants.
‘‘Mr. Coe was a lawyer, practiced in New Britain, and re-
moved to Winsted, Conn., in 1856, where he was agent of the
Clifton Mill Co., and soon became prominently identified with
the public interests of the community; he was the originator of
the Borough Corporation and Water-Works; was the leading
organizer of the Conn. Western R. R. Co., and was the Secretary
until his illness. He presided at the Town Centennial of August,
1871, with dignity and ability.
“‘He was gifted with a magnetism that made him a natural
leader, and secured the warm attachment of friends and admirers.

§. THomas, son of John!, and Mary (Hart) Lee born at
Farmington, August 1671, married, first, Lydia Benton, of Hart-
ford. They had twin children who died in infancy and the mother
died soon after—about 1700. He married second, Feb. 11, 1707,
Mary Camp of Hartford. She died March 22, 1722; married
third, Elizabeth Hubbard who died March 23, 1733; married
fourth, Widow Martha Howard of Windsor. He ‘‘owned the
covenant” July 11, 1708.
In 1697, it was voted that he and four others have ‘liberty to
build them a seat over the short girt at y® easterly end of y® gal-
lery, on the condition that they do not damnify the other seats in
’ the meeting-house.”
He was a mason by trade, and a Sergeant in the Farmington
Train Band, by which title he is alluded to in the public records.
He was appointed Constable by the General Court, an office of
note at that time, and considered as the ‘‘right arm of the law.”
By the many transfers found on record, it is evident that he was
an extensive land holder in Farmington, New Britain, Southing-
ton, Bristol and Avon. He died Sept. 26, 1740.
Administration was granted Dec. 2, 1740 on the ‘‘estate of Ser-
geant Thomas Lee” to his eldest son Jared, with his brother

He went to Southington parish to reside about 1734, on land
deeded to him by his father Thomas. It may interest some of
his descendants to note the verbosity of language in ancient
deeds, of which the following is an extract :
‘* Know all men by these presents, that I, Thomas Lee of Farming-
ton in the Colony of Conn. in New England, for consideration of Sixty
pounds in use as money, received to my full satisfaction of my son
Jared Lee * * * together with my parental love and good affec-

He was ‘‘admitted to full communion” May 7, 1736, and his
wife Rhoda to the same, June 12, 1737.
He appears to have assumed a prominent position at an early
day. In 1743 he was commissioned as Ensign, and in 1748 as
‘¢Captain of 2nd Company ;” chosen deacon of the church March
17, 1751, a position which he held till his death in 1780; was
‘prominent in all church affairs,” and, though sometimes con-
sidered unyielding, and perhaps at times a little obstinate, he
seemed to be usually found on the winning side in all con-
troversies.
Nov. 12, 1752, on his forty-first birthday, he deeds to the society,
‘‘for torty pounds money, a parsell of land containinge one acre,
to sit a meeting house upon ;” in another deed of same date, ‘‘ for
twelve pounds old tenor money, a strip of land on which to build
Sabbath Housen.’”” The church was completed in 1757. The
interior is well represented by a cut of the New Britain church.
@eeipace 1771. )
In 1751, he was appointed by the General Court, a Justice of
the Peace for the parish of Southington, the first for the parish,
an office which he held continuously till May 1, 1780. A portion
of his dockets are still in existence, and in possession of a great
grandson, Leonard Lee, of Kenosha, Wis., (1897). He was a
Representative to the General Court 1754-60-61. At a meeting
called in 1779, to take steps to organize the town of Southington,
‘Jared Lee, Esq., was made Moderator as a tribute of respect,
being the most prominent man in the town.”—Zown Records.
Besides his official business, he was engaged in farming, mer-
chandising and keeping a hotel.
He is represented as tall and dignified, dressed in colonial
style, with three cornered hat, and presented a figure command-
ing respect, and whom the children regarded with awe. He
filled so many positions of trust that the people called bim ‘all
Southington.” It was also said that he was ‘‘a very homely and
a very silent man.” He died on Wednesday, Aug. 2, 1780.
‘« The offices which he sustained as a minister of justice, dea-
con, a representative of the town, a member of society, and
head of a family, he filled with honor, and supported with the
character of a Christian.” (Monument, Oak Hill Cemetery.)
The greater portion of his estate, was disposed of by will,
dated Feb. 28, 1780, of which the preliminary was as follows:
‘‘In the name of God, Amen. I, Jared Lee, of Southington, in the
County of Hartford, in the State of Connecticut, this 28th day of
February, A.D., 1780, being weak in body, but of perfect mind and
212 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS,
memory, thanks be to God, therefor, and calling to mind the mor-
tality of my body, and knowing that it is appointed for all men once
to die, do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament, that is to
say, principally and first of all, I give and recommend my soul into
the hands of God, who gave it, and for my body I recommend it
to the earth, to be buried in a christian like and decent manner, at
the discretion of my executors, nothing doubting, but at the general
resurrection, I shall receive the same again, by the mighty power of
God, and as touching such worldly estate wherewith it has pleased
God to bless me, in this life, I give, bequeath and dispose of the
same, in manner following:” He then directs payment of debts,
funeral expenses, We.
After providing for the various members of his family, he
directs, ‘‘all the remainder of my estate to be equally divided
among my sons.” Amount of the ‘‘remainder” appearing on
record, was £492-19-9. His sons, Seth and Timothy were exe-
cutors. ‘‘ Estate fully settled and recorded Feb. 19, 1792.”

is still in existence, and in possession of a great-grandson, Hon.
William Wallace Lee of Meriden, (1897,) on the cover of which
is written in a bold and-elegant hand: ‘‘Thomas Lee. His
Singing Book. Anno Domini 1752.” His descendants have
inherited more than an average talent for vocal music. His
name is found on the pay-rolls of the French war as Fourth
Corporal, enlisted April 6, 1758, served 8 weeks, 5 days, paid
#15-10-9%, Capt. Jonathan Lattomore’s Co., Col. Eleazer
Fitch’s Regiment. He was an ardent patriot during the Revolu-
tionary War. Being too old to join the army himself, he sent
two sons, and melted the leaden weights of his clock to furnish
bullets. He died on Jan. 11, 1806. His wife died several years
previous. Children:

of Dr. Jonathan Bull of Hartford. She was the fourth generation
from Capt. Thomas Bull, who came to New England in 1635,
and soon after came to Hartford. His lot was in the south part
of the town plot. Capt. Thomas 2, Martin 3, Abigail 4.
He studied medicine with Dr. Bull, and was a successful phy-
sician at Farmington,—‘‘a man firm in his convictions of duty.”
There is a prevalent opinion among some of his descendants
that he was born at Canaan, but this 1s evidently an error. /vrst,
his parents never lived at Canaan, but lved and died at Farm-
ington. Second, when left an orphan at the age of 13, his elder
brother Joseph, was appointed his guardian, ‘‘Dec. 10, 1741,”
with Jared as bondsman in £200, and all described as of Farm-
ington, in the probate records, to be seen in Hartford. Zhzrd,
two infants of his, which died in 1753 and 1756, were buried in
Farmington. /ourth, land records describe him, in various tran-
sactions, as of Farmington as late as April 12, 1772, and local
histories mention him as a successful physician, as late as 1777.

being Isaac Lawrence. Svx¢h, his name first appears on the
Canaan land records in’'1777._ He sold his homestead in 1781,
and moved away.
At the outbreak of the Revolutionary war, Dr. Lee remained firm
in his loyalty to the crown, conscientiously believing that the
colonies had no just cause for declaring themselves independent
of the mother country, but declined to take any action against his
countrymen.
After the close of the war, he removed to Canada. His
son, William Hooker, removed with the family, and from
him are descended most of the Canadian Lees of this branch.
Ebenezer, Jr., joined the Continental Army. Dr. Lee died
suddenly from rheumatism, with which he had long been
afflicted, May 9, 1811, aged 84. At the time of his death
he and his son, William Hooker, were living on adjoining
farms, in a locality then known as Burford Gore, abcut eight
miles south from Brantford, Ontario. His wife died January 11,
1812, aged 84. Their graves may be seen in Oakland, a rural
cemetery in the vicinity, indicated by ‘‘two twin oaks,” (1896).

Latin, is still in existence (1897), dated, ‘‘ Die Septembris Duo-

in possession of Miss Ella E. Lee, a great-granddaughter, living
at Lewis, Essex County, N. Y. He served as tutor there four
years. ‘‘One class gave him a gold ring as a token of respect,”
which is still in existence, (1897.) Another class gave him a
‘‘morning gown,” of the richest goods of the day, besides other
testimonials of respect. He afterwards studied theology with
Rev. Dr. Bellamy, and was licensed to preach; ‘‘supplied”’
several pulpits, and received several ‘‘calls,” but does not seem
to have ever accepted a charge. He also studied medicine, and
his name is found on the State records of the Revolutionary war,
as having received pay for hospital services. ‘‘Seth Lee, Farm-
ington, allowed £3-10-8%, July 26, 1775.”
His father gave him a ‘‘five acre lot in Farmington 25 rods
north of the meeting-house;” there he ‘‘kept tavern” and an
apothecary’s store. Ina Hartford paper dated May 16, 1774, he
advertises ‘‘a neat and general assortment of drugs and medi-
cines.” In 1788-go, he deeds to his brother Timothy and
others, land in Southington, which he had inherited from his
father’s estate, and in 1795 advertises for sale, ‘‘A house lot
about 20 rods north of the meeting-house in Farmington, con-
taining near four acres of excellent land, with dwelling house
and barn with other out-houses, and orchard of about 70 trees of
the best fruit,—the house 46x20 and a kitchen 28x30 feet, with a
cellar under the whole, well accommodated for tavern, merchant

articles, and Feb. 26, 1796 deeds to John and Chauncey Deming,
‘four acres containing house and barn, located on west side of
the street, extending from highway to Farmington River,” and
June 2 of the same year took his departure for Ludlow, Vt., where
he located upon land of which he was the original owner, having
obtained the grant from Benning Wentworth, the British
Governor of New Hampshire.
Among other grants found on the records of Ludlow, Vt., under
date of Sept. 16, 1761, and subject to certain conditions of settle-
ment, are the following: Jared Lee, Esq., Seth Lee, Amos Lee,
Timothy Lee, Joseph Lee, William Lee and others of Farming-
ton, Conn.—tracts of 500 acres each.
First sa/e recorded,—Eber Gilbert of Hamden, New Haven Co.,

6, 1790. Also surveyed by the same, Sept. 27, 1795, 130 acres
‘on his own original right.” Various transfers both to, and from
him are found on record.
He used here his influence and talents to establish a religious
and moral state of society. He was interested in genealogy and
for many years kept records, not only of the Lee family, but of
the Hart and Judd families and also of the Ingersoll and Johnson
families from which his first and second wives were descended.
These records, commencing in 1761 and continued till his death,
are still in existence in a dilapidated form in the possession of
the heirs of William H. Lee of New York, and have furnished
data which could not have been otherwise obtained. He died at

Soon after the Revolutionary war, he sold his farm and mill, re-
ceiving therefor Continental currency, which afterwards proved
worthless. May 4, 1781, he deeds to Timothy, his brother, land
inherited from his father’s estate, in Southington, and names
himself as of Simsbury. During the French war, he served on
one expedition to Canada, enlisting April 23, 1759—Capt. Joel
Clark, 2d Conn. Reg’t, and was drafted into the Revolutionary
army on three different occasions, but of the nature of his military
operations we have no records.
In 1791, he removed with his family to Whitesboro, Oneida
County, N. Y., and subsequently to Sangerfield, in the same
county, then an almost unbroken wilderness of heavy timber.

He remained in his father’s service ten years after ne
21, having the principal charge of his father’s business. He was
frequently elected to positions of honor and trust, and like his
grandfather and great-grandfather, held the office of constable,
which was still an office of importance.
At the time of the Lexington alarm he was one of the ‘‘ minute
men” who marched for Boston on short notice, and remained
during the summer. He was again in service in and about New
York in the fall of 1776, and was absent when his daughter Lucy
was born, Sept. 18. After his father’s death he succeeded to the
homestead and to his father’s business of farming, merchandizing
and hotel keeping. Himself and both wives were members of
the Congregational Church. He died Oct. 1, 1813, and was buried
in Oak Hill Cemetery. His will was dated March 20, 1807, with
a codicil June rr, 1810. After having disposed of £1000 to his
daughters and in various other bequests, he divides the remainder
of his estate among his sons. Inventory amounted to $22,762.43%
in which was included 356 acres of land in and near Southington.

dered about Crown Point and northern New York; mustered out
Nov. 29, 1761; service, thirty-three weeks and six days; paid,
416-11-5. He enlisted again March 15, 1762, under the same
officers for the ill-fated Havana expedition, in which most of the
regiment died of yellow fever. Mustered out Dec. 4, 1762, ser-
vice, thirty-seven weeks and six days; paid, £18-18-634.
In the spring of 1766 he made an extensive purchase of land at
Castleton, Vt. Arriving there in June of that year he made some
preliminary improvements, and spent the following winter in a
log hut constructed with his own hands, with no company but the
red men.
On the breaking out of the Revolutionary War he took an
active part in the military operations at, and about Ticonderoga,
in conjunction with Col. Ethan Allen, raising a company of ‘‘Green
Mountain Boys” at his own expense; which was afterwards
refunded to him in continental currency, worth two and a half
cents on the dollar. He soon after enlisted into the Continental
army, serving much of his time under Washington—was commis-
sioned Captain, June 9, 1777. He continued in the army till the
close of the war in 1783, participating in the battles of Brandy- -
wine, Trenton, Germantown and Monmouth, besides many
others ; was also at the siege of Yorktown, and surrender of Lord
Cornwallis, and after the close of the war was promoted Colonel
of Militia in Vermont. He became a member of the Cincinnati
Society of Connecticut. For other events of his life see ‘‘Lee
Family Gathering,” by Hon. Wm. W. Lee, Meriden, Conn., pp.

Some of the brass cannon which were captured were sent to

A part of it reads as follows:
‘“HACKENSACK, Aug. 24, 1780.

to have you, * * * * . This day I received your letters. I would

In 1801, he removed to Pleasant Valley District, Barkhamsted,
where, for 40 years he kept the toll-gate, on the Farmington
River Turnpike. He was a blacksmith by trade. His health
was greatly impaired while in the army, which he never fully re-
covered—was a pensioner later in life. His second wife was
widow Fanny (Chidsey) Kilbourn. She died March 13, 1861,

Long Island and New Jersey. He received a pension under the

FIFTH GENERATION. PA ATh
Some years after the war, he removed to Penn., and from there
to Granby, Oswego County, N. Y. A descendant says of him:
‘©A man of medium size, high, broad forehead, prominent over
the eyes, rather large nose, clear, bright blue eyes, very straight
and light of step, had a wonderful sense of order, and was a
Yankee in the best sense of the word—joined the Methodist
Church, at Fulton, N. Y., not many years before he died, and
believed in universal salvation. In his older years, he retained
a very youthful appearance, his hair being but slightly frosted.
He carried a cane under his arm.” He died Oet. 29, 1837, aged
80 years. Children :

Abigail (Bull) Lee, born in Connecticut, Feb. 10, 1761 ; married
in 1787, Phebe Davis, born in Reading, Conn. ‘She was the dau.
of Mr. Davis, who at the Anglo-American Revolution took
up arms in favor of England,—was captured and imprisoned
three years, and then escaped to Canada.” William Hooker was
a much esteemed physician. After the Revolutionary War, he
resided, as will be seen by the birth of his children, in various
places,—in Vermont, New York, and Pennsylvania, and ultimately
removed to Canada about 1796, and settled in Niagara District,
practicing at Chippewa.
He bought two adjoining farms in Oakland township, a few
miles south from Brantford, Ont., July 8, 1809. This purchase
was the third transfer from the Crown in 1802, and described as
‘Lot 8—4th concession.”” One farm was occupied by himself
and the other by his parents. After the death of his father they
were sold to Jacob Keifer, Feb. 7, 1812. He then removed to
Southwold, London District—now County of Elgin—where were
228 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS,
residing American relatives. ‘‘Dr. Lee visited his native State,
Connecticut, in 1828. He rode from Southwold, Ont. on horse-
back, and spent the winter among relatives and friends. On his
return in March, 1829, when only four miles from home, his horse
slipped and fell upon him, causing such injuries that he lived but
eight days.”
The records of Litchfield County, Conn., show that he and his
brother, Ebenezer, Jr., from N. Y., joined in a deed conveying
land during that winter, which is supposed to have been a part of
the parental estate which had, for many years, remained unsold.
He died March 30, 1829, aged 68. His wife afterwards lived in
London, Ont., where she died Dec. 15, 1853, aged 82, and was
buried in the Church of England cemetery. Children:

went with his father’s family, to Ludlow, Vt., in 1796, where he
remained till 1807, when, at the age of 18, he went to the State
of New York, on the west border of Lake Champlain, in the

country was new and heavily timbered, and it was no easy task
to reduce the forest and bring it to a state of cultivation, and

nothing but indomitable perseverance and energy could have
wrought the change, which, in time, appeared in that homestead.”
He was a captain in the militia, in the war of 1812-15—was at
work in the harvest field at the time of the battle of Plattsburg;
at the sound of cannon, he dropped his cradle and rushed to

carpenter by trade—traveled over many of the Southern States,
in 1812-14. In 1826, he moved with his family to Manlius,
Onondaga Co., N. Y., and engaged extensively in farming the
following year, which he continued till 1857, when he retired.
He was a man of extensive reading, and often elected to positions
of public trust. -During several of his later years, he found a
home with his youngest son, Francis, at Chnton, Iowa, and
though living to a great age, he maintained his vigor, both physi-
cal and mental, to a remarkable degree. He died April 1,-1877,
aged g1 years, and was buried at Manlius, N. Y. “As the sun
disappeared beyond the hills, his spirit left us—he sank to his
rest as peacefully as the infant sinks to sleep in its mother’s
arms,” so read the message. It is a coincidence that he took
possession of his farm, at Manlius, N. Yo, April 1, 1827—sold
and gave possession, April 1, 1857, and died April 1, 1877. He
was one of ten brothers and sisters, all of whom except himself,
lived, died and were buried in Southington. He was the last
survivor of the family and the eldest at his decease, except one
sister, who died at the age of 92. Children:

Phebe (Davis) Lee, born Nov. 20, 1791, near Albany, N. Y.,
married 1818, Anne Terry, (dau. of Parshall Terry and Rhoda
Skinner, ‘‘a United Empire loyalist of Erie District, and mem-
ber of the first Parliament of Canada;” ‘‘was a Lieutenant in the
Butler Rangers in the Revolutionary War, and fought on the
King’s side from 1776 to 1781, when they were disbanded.’’)
Dr. Lee was a physician of high standing. While a medical
student, he acted as surgeon to the British troops in the Anglo-
American War of 1812-15, at Chippewa and Lundy’s Lane;
afterwards, practiced medicine at Southwold, Chippewa, Niagara
and London. ‘‘At the latter place, he was the Government
medical officer. He died Oct. 29, 1847, during an epidemic of
typhus fever, owing to his indefatigable exertions to attend his
patients most carefully. He was a man of talent, and esteemed
for his unblemished and upright character.
‘““As a mark of respect, the shops in London were closed
during his funeral. A long and steady practice in this part of
the upper Provinces gave him an acquaintance with all classes,
in whose homes he was a welcome visitor. His offerings of
service were free to many of his poorer patients. Compassion
was a prominent trait in his character.”’—Axtract from the
““Church Newspaper,” October, 1847, London, Ont.
‘In another column will be found the obituary of an able and
intrepid physican, Dr. Lee, whose self-sacrifice on the altar of
266 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS,
duty, well deserves to be classed in the ranks of martyrdom.
The bereavement which society at large suffers, from the loss of
such a man as Dr. Lee, is one of the most afflicting features of
this fearful disease, which has been brought into the province by
the late unhealthy immigration.”
Anne Ferry, the widow of Dr. Lee, after his death, lived at
Byron. ‘‘She was a pious and charitable lady, and the chief
contributor towards the building of an Episcopal Church, in that
village. At the suggestion of Bishop Cronyn, it was called St.
Anne, out of respect to Mrs. Lee.” She died at Laporte, Ind.,
while on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Daly, Dec. 21, 1874, and
was buried there. Children:

side, which was under the leadership of Wm. Lyon McKenzie,
and against his brothers, who were Tory sympathizers ’—was
arrested and imprisoned with others at London, Ont., some of
whom were convicted of treason and executed. He was never
brought to trial, but was liberated and restored to citizenship.
‘‘It is a matter of record, that questions tending towards relief,
which were agitated at that time, were, later, incorporated into
the demands made by the people for reforms in governmental
affairs, and that the liberal form of government, now enjoyed
throughout the Dominion is, in a measure, largely due to their
efforts.” He died at Westminster, Ont., Sept. .25-1657. Elis

Avenue, on Saturday, 22d inst. She was the daughter of Dr.
William Hooker Lee, a United Empire Loyalist, born in Conn.
He first saw the hight of day in 1761. After passing his examina-
tion, came to Chippewa with his father, where he practiced his
profession, and later moved to Southwold. Mrs. Lawrason re-
moved to London, three years after her father’s death, and was
married to her late husband. At that time, the present site of
London, was occupied by only three or four families. She had
suffered the many trials to which pioneers were subjected, and
saw the little hamlet grow in size and population. The advance-
ment of the place was ever the great object of Mr. and Mrs.
Lawrason’s life, and through their efforts the city rapidly grew.
Mrs. Lawrason was an active worker in St. Paul’s Cathedral, and
was one of the principal contributors to the cost of erecting the
little frame building, which was first used as a place of worship
by the Anglicans of London. The structure was destroyed by
fire, and Mr. and Mrs. Lawrason were the first to move for the
erection of a new building.
‘<The funeral services were held at St. Paul’s Cathedral, and
were attended by most of the principal citizens. The officiating
clergymen were, Bishop Baldwin, Arch-deacon Marsh, and the
Very Rev. Dean Innes.” —£xtract from Obituary. Children :

dent of Meriden since 1862. The ‘‘ Illustrated Biography,” 1891,
says of him: He represented Meriden in the General Assembly
of 1885 and 1886, and was assigned to important committees
each year.
He introduced a resolution, which was carried without a dis-
senting voice, to publish such military records as were in the
State Archives, from the early Wars down to the close of the
Mexican War-—records of the Confederate War having been
previously published. The result was the publication of a large
quarto volume which was ordered to be supplied to every Town
Clerk’s Office, and all Public Libraries in the State.
He served four years on the Board of Aldermen of Meriden,
and held other positions of note. He was a delegate to the first
Republican Convention held in the State in 1856—was a Free-
soiler in. 1848—voted for Lincoln in 1860 and 1864, and has
never missed an opportunity to cast a vote for equal rights, tem-
perance and good morals.
‘“He is one of the most widely known Secret Society representa-
tives in the State; was a member of the Sons of Temperance at
18 years of age, and eventually held every office in the Order, and
for 35 years was connected with the National Organization ; was
Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows in 1877 and
1878. His Masonic career was commenced in 1852 ; was Knighted
in St. Elmo Commandery in Meriden in 1874; Grand Master of
the State in 1874 and 1875. Prior to that, he held the office of
‘Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter in the State (1872-3),
and for 12 years was President of the Masonic Veteran Association.
‘‘During the war, he was a Lieutenant in the State Militia and
‘enlisted for service in the army, but was rejected for physical
disability. At the Barkhamsted Centennial Celebration, 18709,
he delivered the historical address, and was compiler of the pub-
lished proceedings. He is descended from two grandfathers, and
two great-grandfathers of Revolutionary service, and is one of
the charter members of the ‘Sons of the American Revolution,’
and was a delegate to the National body which met at Hartford,
in 1891.” He is also Secretary of the ‘‘ Lee Association” (1897),
which was organized in 1884, and compiler of the published pro-
ceedings of the first general family meeting of the descendants af
John Lee. He has been deeply interested in collecting statistics
of the descendants, freely expending both time and money in his
efforts, and has succeeded in searching out families, of which all
trace has been lost for nearly a century. Children:

DESCENDANTS OF DAVID,
FOURTH SON OF
OTEEN TS Eby!
Lebanon, Coventry. 2d Gen.
6. Davip, youngest son of John 1, and Mary (Hart) Lee, was
born at Farmington, in 1674. On the marriage of his mother to
Jedediah Strong, Jan. 5, 1692, he, aged 18, and his youngest
sister, Tabitha, aged 16, accompanied her to Northampton, Mass.,
which was his future home for many years. He was a weaver by
trade; married Lydia Strong, dau. of his stepfather, Sept. 5,
1695, born Nov. g, 1675. Her mother was Freedom Woodward,
dau. of Henry, of Dorchester, Mass., ‘and afterwards of
Northampton, where he was one of the ‘‘ Pillars of the Church.”
David removed with his family to Coventry, Conn., in 1709, in
company with others from Northampton, who were among the
first settlers of the town, which, however, was not incorporated
till) 1701. His wite “died “July 16, 17185 Te married) for his
second wife, May 27, 1719, Elizabeth ————— (name illegible on
the records of Coventry). He removed to Lebanon about 1729,
and was admitted to ‘‘full communion” in the Church, Feb. 28,
1731. ‘*‘He was regarded as a man of eminent godliness.”
Jan. 28, 1728-9, ‘in consideration of a deed of exchange for
land in Coventry,” John Lyman deeds to him by quit claim deed,
‘fall my farm or lot of land, lying and being in Lebanon
at a place called Lebanon Village * * * bounded north-
easterly on y® street that goeth through y® village, northwesterly
on land of Mr. Cushman, southwesterly on land of Ebenezer
Gillett, and southeasterly by land of s4 Gillett and Isaac Bailey.”
No length of lines, nor number of acres is given.
Aug. 15, 1737, he deeds the same land with the same description
to his son David, in exchange for land in Coventry. <A thorough

He was a farmer at Willington, where he died in 1748. His
property was inventoried at £.925-13. His wife and eldest son,
Elias, were executors of his will, appointed April 11, 1748. ‘At
a Court of Probate held in Hartford, Feb. 9, 1759, Elias Lee, of
Willington, guardian to Oliver, Zebulon and Simon, sons of
Jedediah, prayed for the distribution of the estate, according to
will of deceased, viz.: To Josiah, Jedediah deceased, (or his legal
representatives, ) Oliver, Zebulon and Simon, children of de-
ceased.” He was appointed guardian of the minor children July
3, 1750. The date of Lucee’s death has not been ascertained, but
Elias, admr. of her estate, presented to court an inventory for
£177-6-6, June 13, 1750.

Nothing is known of this family except what is here stated.
Oliver’s name is found on the records of East Windsor, with
family, but nothing farther is known. A very aged man
named Zebulon Lee, died at Granville, Washington Co., N. Y.,
‘sometime in the 30’s,” supposed to be the person in question.
Families by the name Lee are living in the vicinity, but none
can connect with this Zebulon.
Vigorous efforts have been made to discover a connecting lnk,
but without success ; they, like several other families, have dis-
appeared, leaving no trace behind.

18. Rev. JonaTHAN, youngest son of David 6, and Lydia
(Strong) Lee, born in Coventry, July 4, 1718, married Sept. 3,
1744, Elizabeth, dau. of Rev. Joseph Metcalf, of Falmouth,
Mass. When her widowed mother, with six daughters, removed
to Lebanon, Conn., she became an inmate of the family of Rev.
Thomas Clapp, of Windham, and went with him to New Haven
when he was chosen president of Yale College, and there made
the acquaintance of Mr. Lee, when a student. ‘‘She had no
dowry but her personal charms and Christian graces, anda decent
suit of clothes; without a table or chairs they kept house and
lived happily in a blacksmith shop ; but religion can soften every
hardship and relieve the bitter cup.” She died Feb. 22, 1762.
On the occasion of his marriage he delivered an address to his
bride and parents of much eloquence and tenderness, which was
published in the American Monthly Magazine, the official organ of
the Daughters of the American Revolution, July, 1895, the copy
being furnished by Miss Florence Lee, of Buffalo, N. Y., a
descendant of the 5th generation from him.
‘‘He graduated at Yale College in 1742, read Divinity with his
pastor, Rev. Elisha Williams, and in 1744, settled as a minister at
Salisbury, on a salary of £45, ‘lawful money,’ which was never
increased. The town was then new; the inhabitants few in num-
ber and weak in strength.” There were but 18 English families
in the place, and his church, when organized, consisted of but
11 members. A part of his salary was paid in produce instead
of ‘‘lawful money.” They were too poor to keep a horse, and
he drew his wood home on a hand sled, and frequently carried
his bushel of wheat to Lamb’s mill on his back.
When he and his wife arrived in Salisbury in 1744, their house
was unfinished, and they took up their abode in one end of a
blacksmith shop, with stools for chairs, and a table constructed
of slabs. Their house, when completed, was a log structure
24x30 feet, and was used, temporarily, as a place of worship. In
this log house he was ordained Nov. 23, 1744; a new edifice for
worship was raised March 28 and 29, 1749; the ‘‘ raising ” occupied
two days. It had been voted by the society ‘‘that 16 gallons
rhum be furnished, and 8 bushels rhy to be made into cake for
406 DESCENDANTS OF DAVID,
the occasion.” This building, modified for the purpose, is still
doing service for a town hall, (1897).
In 1746, the Assembly ‘‘ advised the committee to build a fort
in the northwest part of Salisbury, including the house of Rev.
Jonathan Lee,” for protection against the Indians.
His name is found on State records as having been appointed
chaplain March, 1756, for an expedition in the French war, oper-
ating about Crown Point. The homestead remained in the family
three or four generations, when it passed into other hands. One
of his descendants laments the disappearance of valuable papers
at that time, which would have afforded light on many subjects
which are obscure at the present day. The house was still stand-
ing a few years since.
The following incidents, selected from the Connecticut Courant
of the last century, may interest his descendants: Among others
who escaped from jail in Litchfield County, Jan. 25, 1772, was
one ‘‘John Brown, who was committed for breaking open the -
house of Rev. Mr. Lee, of Salisbury ; a short thick fellow, 5 ft.
4 in. high, 22 years of age, has been twice cropt and branded.”
Ten dollars reward was offered for his return by Lynde Lord,
Sheriff, Litchfield, Jan. 26, 1772. (Connecticut Courant, Jan. 28,
1772). Hartford, Feb. 25, 1772.—‘‘ At the Supreme Court held
at Litchfield, the 11th inst., came on the trial of the notorious
John Brown, for the third offence of burglary, (Rev. Mr. Lee’s
house), when, after a lengthy hearing, both on the part of the
crown and the prisoner, the case was committed to the jury, who,
after consultation of three days, returned with a verdict of gw7/ty,
whereupon a sentence of death was passed upon him, which is to
be executed the first of July, next.” (Connecticut Courant, Feb.
De ga) )e
‘*Twenty DoLiars ReEwarp.—Broke out of Litchfield jail on the
night after the 3d of Mar.,1772, the notorious burglar, John Brown,
lately condemned, and received sentence of death; has been twice
cropt and branded. The above reward will be paid, &c., by
Lynde Lord, Sheriff.” (Connecticut Courant, March 5, 1772).
‘‘Hartford, June 9, 1772.—A petition was presented to the As.
sembly, and the execution of John Brown was put off till Dec.
and, next.”
‘“Broke out of jail on. the night atter the math imst:, the
burglarious John Brown, under sentence of death for house break-
mg) He hasabeen cropt) and’ brandeds 9") ita is eae
ever shall return him shall receive TEN DoLLars REWarp.”’
LynpE Lorp, Sheriff.
Litchfield, 15th June, 1772.
FOURTH GENERATION. 407
John is again advertised for breaking jail, March 24, 1773 ; £3
reward offered by Lynde Lord, Sheriff. It is evident from this
that he was not executed Dec. 2, 1772.
Simsbury, June 6, 1775.—He is again advertised for breaking
out of Newgate prison. ‘‘Three pounds in paper d7lls of the
Colony ” offered for his return.
Aug. 28, 1775.—John Brown is again advertised for breaking
out of Newgate prison, and is again described as having been
‘“branded and both ears crop’d.” John then disappears from
the columns of the Courant.
Mr. Lee married for his second wife, Nov. 1762, Widow Love
Brinkerhoff, of Fishkill, N. Y. (dau. of Rev. John Graham, of
Edinburgh, Scotland, who first settled at Exeter, N. H., as a
physician ; afterwards became a preacher ; was the first minister
at Stafford, Conn.; removed from there to Woodbury, and was
installed June 17, 1773, as the first minister of the Second Con-

Rev. Mr. Lee died Oct. 8, 1788, aged 70 years, after having
been forty-four years in the ministry, at Salisbury, ‘‘ leaving six
sons and four daughters, all of whom followed his bier to the
grave.’ His headstone is still standing (1896), on which he is
represented in wig and gown, in preaching attitude in his pulpit.
In bringing up his boys, he gave every other one an education,
and every other one a farm. The former were Jonathan, Elisha
and Chauncey; the latter were Samuel, Milo and Robert.
It is on record that he purchased 500 acres of land for £2,500
old tenor equivalent to about £500, ‘‘lawful money.” It is probable
that the farms for the sons were carved out of this tract. He is
named in Yale records as one of the wealthy ministers of New-
England. His second wife died at the home of her son, Rev.
Chauncey, at Colebrook, Dec. 22, 1820, at the age of 88 years.
It will be observed that all the descendants of David rst, of
whom we have any knowledge at the present time, are through
Rev. Jonathan, his youngest son.

expedition against the French, March 28, 1758; served: thirty-
seven weeks and two days; received £16-15-7. It is highly
probable that he moved to Mass. with his father’s family, before
1762. He resided at Becket and was a school teacher there,
about 1770; was in the Revolutionary Army, his name being
found in the Berkshire Co. records. His name is also found on
the town records from 1765 to 1777, serving as Selectman ; was
on various committees, and holding other town offices. His
name disappears after 1777, but it is found that he moved to
Manchester, Vt., and was a judge of court in Bennington Co.;
and resigned in 1783 (Vt. Hist. Records). Some of his descend-
ants were there as late as 1815-20, since which time all trace has
been lost. It is the old story, ‘‘Moved West,” leaving no trace.

positive ideas and principles; very zealous in the Revolutionary
War, a leader in party politics of the Jeffersonian school.” He
was at the battle of Bennington, Aug. 16, 1777, and gives an in-
teresting account of it in the Conn. Courant, of August 25th.

For thy countenance is not that of a mortal,
Nor thy voice that of a human being.”

He was a farmer by occupation, living three miles north of the —
village. During the Revolutionary War, he wasan active patriot.
In the Colonial Records of May, 1777, is found: ‘‘ This assem-
bly do establish Samuel Lee to be Quartermaster of a troop of
horse, in the 5th Reg’t of Light Horse in this State”; May, 1778.
‘“‘Samuel Lee of Salisbury is made Lieut. of 2d Troop, 5th Reg’t,
of Horse” (Col. Rec. Vol. 2, p. 272). The public records are
incomplete, and the exact nature of his active service cannot now
be ascertained. The records show, however, that his troop was
often called into service for State defence, and his name appears
among the commissioned officers. Service also, appears to have
been rendered along the Hudson, and down as far as New York.
His commission as Captain, dated Oct. 30, 1783, was signed by
Gov. Jonathan Trumbull, and is in the possession of a grandson, -
Rev. Hamilton Lee, of Martinez, California (1896), who has also
a letter written by him to his wife, when in the army, dated
Fishkill, N. Y., Nov. 18, 1776, and other papers of interest. His
cavalry pistols are in possession of other grandsons, Samuel B.,
Jr., and John W. N. Lee, of Duplex, Tenn., and his sword is
said to be in possession of some of the family, In 1774, Capt.
Lee was appointed one of a committee to carry into effect certain
resolutions passed by the Continental Congress ; in 1781, he was
one of a committee to encourage enlistments. After the war he
served many years as Justice of the Peace, and in other public
offices, and was a Representative eleven times, from 1788 to 1809.
In 1803, was one of a committee to manage the public library,
and was prominent in all public affairs. He died Sept. 3, 1829,

Burlington, Vt. She died in 1805. He married, second, in Feb.
1807, Mrs. Olive Spencer, widow of Alexander Spencer, of
Amenia; N. Y., born Aug. 9, 1774, and dau. of Jared Harrison,
of Salisbury. He was agraduate of Yale College in 1784 ; studied
law at Litchfield, and practiced for a time in his native town, but
after entering upon a religious life, gave up the legal profession,
studied theology with Rev. Dr. West, of Stockbridge, Mass., and
was licensed to preach June 3, 1789. In the same year the
church at Salisbury made application for him to preach as a
candidate for the place left vacant by the death of his father the
previous year, but failed to secure his services. A new church
edifice was dedicated at Salisbury some years later, at which he
preached the dedication sermon. Columbia College of N. Y.,
bestowed upon him the degree of D. D. in 1823. He was settled
at Sunderland, Vt., in 1790, where he remained seven years; then
spent three years at Lansingburg and Hudson, N. Y., as a
teacher and occasional preacher; was installed at Colebrook,
Conn., in Jan., r800, and remained till Feb., 1827.
His second wife died Jan. 5, 1818. He married for his third
wife, Oct. 15, 1818, Mrs. Rebecca Haines, widow of a Virginia
gentleman, and dau. of Col. Samuel Green, of New London ; ‘ta
lady of cultivated manners and refined taste.”
From Colebrook he went to Marlboro’, where he was the
settled pastor from Nov., 1828, to Jan., 1837. For the last few
years of his life, he resided with his dau., Mrs. Beebe, at Hart-
wick, N. Y.; where he died Wee? 5) 1842 "aged 793) be wwasma

scholar, dignified in his manners, and eminent for his social
qualities.” He was the author of ‘‘ Revival Sermons,” ‘‘ Triumphs
of Virtue,” being a metrical paraphrase of the Book of Job, 1807;
was also a composer of music, and in 1797, while a teacher, pub-
lished an arithmetic; ‘‘Election Sermon,” 1813; ‘‘ Letter from
Aristarcus to Philemon,” 1833.
It is related that another pastor who was settled in another
part of the town (of Sunderland, Vt.,) ox the same day, brought
suit against Rev. Chauncey, to recover the possession of land set
apart ‘‘for the first settled minister of the town,” on the ground
that his settlement was ¢wo minutes first! and gained the suit.
The result of the suit, however, does not seem to have been con-
firmed, as the land in dispute subsequently came into possession
of a gr-dau., and by her was sold to another party a few years
since. Children:

to be descendants of the Farmington family, but are unable to
establish the connection. We give place to these records, hoping
they may meet the eye of some one who will be able to assist
them in tracing their line.

The cuts for the Lee ‘‘ Coat of Arms” of two different families,
came to hand while this work was going through the press, and
are inserted as objects of curiosity.
As stated on a previous page, it is not known that any one
American family is entitled to an exclusive use of either; we
neither claim nor disclaim the right to either, (see page 21).
ue en Or a rLO NOR
In preparing the following list of soldiers of the early wars of
the country, we have included none except those of whose
service there was documentary, or other indisputable evidence.
That there were others whose names should be included, there is
little doubt, but positive evidence is wanting.
The same remarks will apply to the soldiers of the later wars,
for we are confident that a large number have not been reported.
Relatives by marriage only, are not included.
No attempt has been made to trace those of the Mary Lee
Upson or Tabitha Lee Strong branches in wars later than the
Revolution, except to insert such names as have been furnished
and well authenticated. In several cases, service in both French
and Revolutionary wars was not positively ascertained till too
late to insert in the text of this work.
The evidence of service of those in the Mary Lee Upson
branch, whose nanies are not found in the text, was found in
State records.

NOTE.
In concluding these pages, it seems but proper to add, that
several deficiencies were discovered, which had been overlooked,
and which, at a late hour, it was impracticable to supply, without
great delay. Several subscribers had paid eight months in
advance, and it seemed unjust that they should be subjected to
delay. It has frequently been stated by genealogists that their
work had been fifteen or twenty, or even thirty, years in prepara-
tion, but it seemed expedient in this case to furnish it to the
present generation, and leave deficiencies to be supplied and addi-
tions collected for a supplement, at some future date, if deemed
advisable. With that object in view, the kindred are invited to
correspond freely with the compilers of their respective branches
or the secretary, communicating any changes or discoveries.
THE COMPILERS.
MERIDEN, Conn., April, 1897.
It is but justice to acknowledge the services of Miss Sarah
Fiske Lee of New Hampshire, who spent three months in
Meriden, at her own expense, to assist in supervising the publi-
cation of this work. |e

In the summer of 1895 several of the officials of the ‘* LEE As-
SOCIATION,” met at Meriden, Conn., to confer upon the project of
holding a re-union during the following summer. The subject
had been frequently mentioned in correspondence by kindred in
different States, and a growing sentiment in its favor appeared to
be generally prevalent. It seemed desirable to keep alive the
association, and to cultivate a better acquaintance among the
descendants of theircommon ancestor, John Lee.
It was decided to issue a circular to several of those deeply in-
terested, soliciting their opinion on the subject, the result of
which was to encourage the project.
On the first of March, 1896, a second circular was issued, invit-
ing all the posterity of John Lee to meet in re-union at Farming-
ton, Conn., on the 12th and 13th of August, 1896. As the kin-
dred were scattered through many States, the question was asked,
‘why not hold the re-union in a more central location, in some
western city ?”” The reply was, ‘‘that no place was so appropri-
ate as the old home of our ancestor—that all who could, should
avail themselves of the occasion to become familar with the an-
cestral home—that it would afford them an opportunity to learn
more of the early life of our ancestor than they would be likely to
obtain from any other source, and that no other place would in-
spire any particular interest in regard to the object of our meet-
ing, and that at the old homestead was the only proper place to
rally. The journey from a distance would afford a delightful
excursion to those who had never visited the home of their
ancestors, and would prove a most interesting event of a life-
time,’ and large numbers in the Southern and Western States, and
the Canadas, approved the selection of location.
1V LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
As most of those from a distance would intend to visit Hart-
ford, and hotel accommodations at Farmington were limited, it
was decided to make our headquarters at the United States hotel
in Hartford, and proceed to Farmington by trolley cars—a
charming ride of nine miles—and return at night.
Farmington is a romantic old town, the population consisting
largely of the descendants of those who were contemporaries of
our ancestors in early life, who greeted us kindly, and generously
granted the use of their beautiful town hall for our use.
The appointed time arrived. Large numbers from a distance
and citizens of the city assembled in the parlors of the hotel at
Hartford, on the evening of the 11th, and enjoyed a delightful
and sociable interview. Many new acquaintances were formed,
and many old acquaintances renewed among those who had not
met since the gathering of 1884.
On the morning of the 12th, the crowd took its departure for
Farmington by trolley line. It was a charming ride, and those
who were absent may never know what they missed. At the end
of the route, a few minutes’ walk through the shady streets, for
which the town is noted, brought them to the place of meeting—
lingering by:the way a few moments, as they passed the site of the
ancient homestead, now occupied by the stately edifice of the
Miss Porter School for Girls, to take in the scene and surround-
ings, and let their imagination carry them back two and a half
centuries, to the time of their ancestor’s domestic life.
No better place for meeting could have been selected than the
Farmington town hall, a tasteful edifice of which the town may
well feel proud. The auditorium, on the second floor, light and
airy, seemed befitting the occasion. The large rostrum, or stage
had been tastefully decorated with the stars and stripes, and the
janitor was untiring in his attentions.
Many kindred living within a few miles, had driven in with
their carriages, and were equally enthusiastic with their kindred
from other States, whom they had never met. The intense heat
which had prevailed for a week, detained many who had ex-
pressed their intention to be present, and numerous regrets were
received from those who deemed it unwise to attempt a long
journey under such circumstances. We must not omit to men-
tion, however, the names of several who persevered under ad-

verse conditions: Mrs. Francis Lee and daughter, Mrs. G. W.
Allen, of Clinton, lowa;—Mrs. Mary Lee Anderson, of Chicago,
aged 77, who traveled alone—Mr. Squire Lee, aged 89, and
granddaughter, Miss Jennie S. Lee, of Bristol, Indiana, and Miss
Kittie L. Davidson, of Montgomery, Ala., who attended the
gathering of 1884, as a little girl eight years of age, and others
from Ontario, Ohio and Montreal.
A general feeling of sociability prevailed in the hall, in the
midst of which the assemblage was called to order by Leonard
Lee of Kenosha, Wis., one of the vice-presidents of the associa-
tion, who addressed them in a few words of greeting.
FRIENDS AND KINDRED:—To say that I am happy to meet you,
but feebly expresses my feelings on this occasion. I am more
than happy, but as I look over this assemblage I miss many fa-
miliar faces which were to be seen in our midst at the gathering
twelve years since. Of more than 30 whom I could name, who
were prominent on that occasion, more than one-half have passed
away, and among them our honored president, and others who
expressed their anticipation of a happy meeting with us to-day,
have been providentally detained.
It is becoming us, as descendants of one common ancestor, to
meet and rally around the old homestead, and to familiarize our-
selves with the surroundings of that old home—to join in social
converse—to become better acquainted, and to brighten the links
of that chain which should bind our interests as one common
kindred. Let us then improve the present occasion to become
more interested in each other, and to strengthen our desire to
know more of those who have been, and gone, before us. There
are many interesting episodes of our ancestors yet to be learned,
if we will but awaken a proper desire to learn them.
Widely separated as we have been, and personally unknown to
each other, it is not singular that we have felt an indifference, but
may this occasion awaken an interest which shall go with us
through life, and teach us to venerate the memory. of our
ancestors.
That man is not to be envied who says, ‘‘I care nothing for-my
ancestors ’’—he may feel assured that his posterity will care noth-
ing forhim. Todie and be forgotten, is repugnant to the instincts
of the human heart. Wealth or family pride may erect a proud
monument, and inscribe thereon a few laudatory but unmerited,
vl LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
words of praise, the sentiment of which, to those who knew the
subject in life, will appear as cold as the granite or marble on
which they are engraved.
It was a custom of our fathers when assembled for deliberation
to open their proceedings with prayer, and, in imitation of their
example, Prof. King of Ohio will invoke the divine blessing.
Following the invocation, and ‘‘ Praise God from whom all
blessings flow,” came an original hymn, written for the occasion,
Mrs. Jeannette Lee Coe of Winsted, presiding at the piano.

With voice united, grateful praise;
For all the blessings Thou hast given,

To Thee it rose at noontide sun—
At close of day when work was done.

So here to-day we raise our voice,
While in Thy bounty we rejoice ;
With thanks for all Thou hast bestowed,
While traveling o’er life’s weary road.

Be with us now in this glad hour ;
Here may we feel and know Thy power,
Thy blessings share, Thy dealings see,
And find acceptance, Lord, with Thee.

May kindly thoughts within us burn,
And all we do, and all we say.

An address was then delivered by Hon. James L. Cowles, a
native of Farmington, and a descendant of a contemporary of
John Lee, who, in well chosen words, welcomed the returning
pilgrims to the home of their ancestor, which was responded to
by Wm. Wallace Lee, on behalf of the kindred.
Reports of the Secretary and Treasurer of the association were
next in order, and were presented as follows:
TO THE LEE ASSOCIATION,
DESCENDANTS OF JOHN LEE, FARMINGTON.
In submitting a report of what has been done by me as secretary,
it seems fitting to refer somewhat to matters existing before our first
meeting, and the formation of this association.
To those who have the book, published 1885, this may seem unnec-
essary, but it must be remembered that there is quite a number, and
in some cases, whole families, who have never seen the book, even if
they know of its existence.
The preliminary work which became necessary to secure a gather-
ing of our widely scattered family, was performed almost entirely by
myself, but the project, when presented, evoked a general and very
cordial response. Money was contributed by several of the friends
with words of cheer and encouragement, sufficient to meet the neces-
sary expenses, or nearly so. The deficiency was less than $5. Of
course, no charge was made for service—only for money actually ex-

pended. At the first gathering, money enough was raised to meet all
bills, of whatever nature, and there was left aneven $100, which I de-
posited in the Meriden City Savings bank.
It will be remembered that, at the formation of our association,
Rev. Mr. Loveland was elected treasurer. Within a few weeks there-
after, Sept. 22, he died at his home in Granby. Soon as practicable, I
sent out a circular to the officers of the association, informing them
of his death, at the same time asking them by vote to select some one
to fillthe vacancy. By a large majority I was chosen to fill the posi-
tion and thus my report as secretary carries with it also my report
as treasurer.
The ‘desire was earnestly expressed by many who were present,
that the proceedings should be published in book form, as soon as
could be, and to keep alive the interest which was such a prominent
feature of the first family gathering.
Various causes operated to prevent its early publication, as ex-
plained in the book, so that it is unnecessary to repeat them here
Had I known in advance the amount of labor, time, patience, and
the pecuniary difficulties that would follow, I should have shrunk
from the task. But I was encouraged by our president. and some
others to persevere, and the result, you know. Money in various
ways was advanced by William H. Lee, Leonard Lee, Francis Lee and
Henry Lee of Aledo, Ill, each of whom advanced $25.00 to $50.00 and
upwards. I found it necessary to draw the $100 which [| had de-
posited in bank to meet the bills, and also to advance much more
than I could afford, but all bills were paid leaving our treasury with-
out a cent.
Five hundred copies of the work were printed and bound. Being
very desirous to place it within the reach of all, the price was made
$1.00 per copy, postage extra. I deposited copies in several public
libraries, gave away quite a number to parties, whom I thought
worthy and unable to pay for them—sold a goodly number (in some
cases have never received any pay )—and all told have disposed of
425 copies.
As before intimated, we have no money onhand. The lack of suffi-
cient means has been a great hindrance, so that I have been unable
to prosecute my investigations for the ‘“‘lost tribes, ~ as I had hoped
to do. Something in that line has been accomplished which will be
told later on.
The large number that was elected as officers of our Association, at
our first meeting, was with the hope and expectation that the services
of many might be secured and so arouse a good degree of enthusiasm
in matters pertaining to our family. This idea, if not a flat failure,
was successful only to a very limited degree.
From quite a number I have found it impossible to obtain a reply
to the most courteous and friendly letter that I could indite. Some
of the board of officers, we have since learned are not of our family
of Lees. Fully one-fourth of them have died,— (their names will be
mentioned in another paper )—so that it becomes necessary to re-
organize, and I would recommend that the Board be composed only
X LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
of those who have shown by their acts, that they care something
about a matter in which a goodly number of our kindred take a deep
interest.
It was earestly hoped, and with a good degree of confidence, ex-
pected, that we should be able to have a family gathering at Chicago,
during the World’s fair in that city, but financial disaster swept over
the land and so completely prostrated business of all kinds that it was
found after a great deal of correspondence, that the project could not
be carried out, and the same causes have operated to postpone it
until this time—and right here, justice demands the statement, that
had it not been for Leonard Lee, it would not have been done now.
I was so situated that I could not and would not have taken it up.
He has done a greater part of the preliminary work, that was neces-
sary for calling this meeting. With a persistency untiring, with an
ardor that has never cooled, and a zeal that has not abated, he has
pushed the matter, and that we have a meeting to-day, is owing
mostly to his efforts, and to him belongs the credit.
The expenses attendant upon this meeting, postage, stationery,
printing, correspondence, and miscellaneous matters, amount to
about fifty (50) dollars, the largest part of which has been advanced
by him, and we have received all told fifty (50) cents in stamps. It is
obvious to any one that some means should be devised to meet these
bills, and not leave a few to bear the entire burden, even if they are
willing.
During the past two years, Leonard Lee and Sarah Fisk Lee
have devoted a great deal of time, labor and patience to gathering
and arranging the material for a new edition of the family history,
that was issued by Sarah Marsh Lee in 1878.
This work is now well advanced, and. with alittle detail work, can
be ready for publication within a few weeks, provided the means can ,
be raised, necessary for advance expenses. If the necessary funds
‘an be secured or pledged, I think we should push the work earnestly
to its completion, but for myself, much as I desire it, | am not willing,
and will not, incur a debt to doit. Ihave had enough in that line
of experience. If the work is to be published, to-day is the time to
determine when, and how the money is to be raised.
That our present meeting may be in all respects a success, and be
toeach participant a source of pleasure through all the coming years,
is the wish of your kinsman. WM. WALLACE LEE.
Secretary and Treasurer.
REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.
In addition to what I have done as secretary and treasurer of the
association, I have, for the past 12 years, and even prior to that time,
carried on correspondence with a vast number of Lees in various lo-
ealities, and only in a small proportion of such correspondence, have
I been able to connect them with our family. I have, on the whole, had
rather meager results. One instance I may mention to show the re-
sultin many cases. I knew we had lost a Zebulon Lee. I found that

name on an old pension roll, as once living in Ohio. I wrote 14 letters
to varions places, inclosing stamps, and after three months became
satisfied that he was of another family—(NScotch).
Finding myself unable to make any headway. in disposing of the
mass of letters which I had accumulated—numbering over 1,500—
four years ago, I requested Leonard Lee to come and stay with me,
and assort, classify and arrange the material which I had in hand,
and his services have been of great value, and, I may here add, this
work was the commencement of a new edition of our family gen-
ealogy, which will be mentioned hereafter.
I have now out fully one hundred letters, to which I have never
received any answer. It does not require great ability to answer a
civil question, and say either ves or no, but some are so uncivil that
they will not do that.
There are a large number of the descendants of Hezekiah Lee, the
soldier, living in eastern New York and in Vermont, along the borders
of Lake Champlain. Since the death of Ashbill Lee at Willsboro’, in
Essex county, New York, in 1887, I have written ten or twelve letters
to as many different parties, but have never received any response,
except from Mrs. Phelps, a daughter of Ashbill Lee. Mainly at my
request, Leonard Lee made a visit there last year, at his own ex-
pense, to collect their family records, and succeeded in collecting
one hundred names, which could have been obtained in no other
way, and also to endeavor to arouse some interest in what was being
done, but to all the circulars, letters and appeals this year there has
been no response.
Hezekiah Lee, the soldier, had three sons. viz.: William. Daniel
and Hezekiah third, whose posterity has nearly all been located. Wil-
liam had six sons. First, William, Jr., we may call him, who is said
by some to have been murdered—by others, to have been drowned in
Lake Ontario. All trace of his posterity is lost, if he had any. Sec-
ond, Ashbill, had five sons. Most of hisdescendants have been found.
Third, Benjamin, a soldier of 1812, killed by a falling bridge about
1826. Some of his posterity arelivingin Kent, Conn. Fourth, Asahel,
who went to Port Hope, Ontario. Fifth, Samuel, a soldier of 1812—
died in Vermont. Sixth, James, a soldier of 1812—said by some to
have settled at or near DeKalb, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y. | have writ-
ten many letters but have never been able to obtain the slighted clue.
Daniel, second son of Hezekiah the soldier, was killed in battle at
Chippewa in 1814—had two sons, William and Daniel, Jr. The only
trace I have found of either was that about 1831 this William was en-
gaged in steam-boating on Lake Champlain. On page 108 of the
book of 1885, is a list of those of whom at that time we had no fur-
ther knowledge. Seth Lee, in his manuscript, says that Ashbel Lee,
son of Stephen Jr., died in 1793—all I have been able to learn about
that family.
Moses Lee, eldest son of Dr. Ebenezer, who grew to manhood,
settled at or near Mt. Vernon, Ohio. I have learned that he made
return of property and paid taxes there in 1822, and that is all.
Riverius, second son, is said to have settled in Ohio, and died,
Xil LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
leaving no posterity. After a long search, the posterity of Simeon
Lee, the youngest son of Dr. Ebenezer, has been found, and his
descendants traced more thoroughly than in almost any other Lee
family, by Maj. Edwin Lee Heath, (one of them,) of Brantford,
Ontario, numbering nearly or quite three hundred.
Charles, son of William, the soldier, of Bristol, died in North
Carolina, leaving no posterity.
David, third son of the David branch, has been traced to Man-
chester, Vt., where he was a judge in 1782, and some of the family
were living there between 1812 and 1820, and then all trace is lost.
The only thing I could get was, ‘‘All moved to the west.” Concern-
ing any of the others named on that page, I have not been able to
obtain the least information.
It seems almost incredible that the six sons of the first Jedediah—
Elias, Josiah, Jedediah, Jr., Oliver, Zebulon and Simon—should have
all died leaving no descendants, but thus far I have been able to find
no one who knows any such names in his ancestral line.
That I have had so little success is no fault of mine’ What I have
gathered is the result of much time, patience, pen-pushing and
burning of the ‘midnight oil.” One great cause of perplexity and
confusion is in the fact that the same names are repeated and
duplicated over, and over, and over again, in other families, as well
as ours. Among the descendants of John Lee, Jr., are six generations
of Johns, and five generations of Hezekiahs. In the Stephen branch
are six generations of Isaacs, in the Thomas branch are five genera-
tions of Thomas, and in the David branch are five generations of
Davids. There are six different Samuel Lees, if not more, who served
in the war of the Revolution in Connecticut, three Williams, two
Jonathans, two Thomases and two Timothys—all told, about sixty
Lees, of whom more than one-third were of our family.
There were five separate Lee families in Connecticut between 1635
and 1712 of no degree of kin. so far as can be learned. I have corre-
sponded with representatives of all of them. I think there are, at
least, ten distinct families of Lees in New England who ante-date the
Revolution, aside from several families of English, Scoteh and Irish
since that date.
I yet have strong faith that, if we had the means to pay for the
labor, most of our lost families could be traced, but I am not able to
do it. (The necessity of daily toil is upon me, so that it is out of
imy power.) I have done my best under the circumstances. This
work should be pushed now; the farther we recede from the early
days, the more difficult the task. Many of those who in the early
part of this work rendered assistance and information of great value
have finished their life work.
It may seem invidious to particularize, but justice requires that I
make special mention of Leonard Lee, Sarah EF. Lee and Major Ed-
win Lee Heath, who have always been ready and have rendered valu-
able service. To several of the kindred, who have by help, advice
and counsel rendered me service, I tender my sincere thanks. This
long correspondence with friends and kindred whom | have never
met, and probably never shall, has cheered me in many weary hours,
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. X11
and I flatter myself that I have added somewhat to the pleasure of
others. Some younger man, with a more ready pen, must take up
the work. When one carries nearly 70 years and more than 200 avoir-
dupois, he cannot by any play of fancy or stretch of imagination,
convince himself that he is a young man. “Old men for counsel,
young men for war” is an old maxim and it applies here as well as in
other fields of labor. Although Farmington is the home of our Lees,
but afew remain in Connecticut. All told, there are not so many
men in Connecticut bearing the Lee name belonging to our family as
served in the army of the Revolution, from this town, still there are
enough younger men than myself to take hold of this work and carry
italong. Most of the gray heads at our former meeting twelve years
ago are seen of men no more. Should there be another meeting 12
years hence, most of us who are gray, will have joined the silent ma-
jority, but I firmfty hope that those who eare to preserve the memory
of our ancestors, will keep alive this Association. and that as often as
circumstances will permit they will assemble as we have to-day — will
keep bright the chain that binds us in ties of kindred and prove them-
selves worthy descendants of Stephen Hart, whose blood we inherit
as well as of John Lee. original proprietors of Farmington, Conn.
WM. WALLACE LEE,
Secretary.
Brief comments followed the reading of these reports, but
action pertaining to them was deferred to a later hour.
On motion of Leonard Lee, and seconded by Major E. L.
Heath of Ontario, a committee on reorganization was appointed
to report at some later hour, consisting of Leonard Lee, Major
E. L. Heath and Wm. Wallace Lee.
In response toa call from the President, Miss Ella E. Lee of
Lewis, N. Y., was escorted to the rostrum by Leonard Lee and
introduced as the great-granddaughter of Deacon Seth Lee of
Farmington, who removed to Ludlow, Vt., just roo years ago,
and died there in 1803. She then read a paper of which the fol-
lowing is an abstract. It was read in a clear and distinct voice,
and was listened to with great interest, and at the close received
many flattering comments.
MR PRESIDENT, KINDRED, FRIENDS:
Some writers, in presenting an article to the public, write a pre-
face to their work. Cicero acknowledges he kept in his desk a collec-
tion of prefaces, which he could, at any time, attach to anything he
wanted to publish for himself or others; so to you, dear kindred, I
give as a preface to my humble paper; my ancestorial links in the
‘Lee chain,” and the reason I am before you.
It ay be a stale subject, to some of you, to talk about our early
ancestors, but to others, it will be like the ‘‘Old, Old Story,” ever new.
X1V LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
Our common ancestor, John Lee, came to this country, from Eng-
land, in 1684. He married Mary, daughter of Stephen Hart, in 1658,
and four sons and two daughters were given to them. John, Mary,
Stephen, Thomas David and Tabitha.
Thomas married Mary Camp of Hartford, Conn., September 11,
1707. Nine children were given to them to bless their union. Lydia,
Mary, Jared, Joseph, Mary, John, Thomas, James and Ebenezer.
Jared married Rhoda Judd of Farmington, Conn., January 5th,
1735. Six children were given them. Seth, Amos, Timothy, Noah,
Rhoda and Louis.
Seth was born, March 31,1736, at Farmington, Conn. He graduated
at Yale college in 1759 and was tutor there four years. One class gave
him, ‘‘as a token of their respect, a gold ring,” and I ai happy to
say, | am the owner of that much prized ring given to my great-
grandfather.
The ring has the letters, “S. L.”” upon it. I came into possession
of this ring through Miss Sylvia Lee, aged 78 years, (who expected to
be present, until last Sunday, but was detained by sickness) a grand-
daughter of Deacon Seth and daughter of Seth Jr. Aside from other
testimonials of their love and respect he received a ‘‘morning gown”
made of the finest material of the day. I am sorry to say, that this
gown, to my knowledge, is not to be found, but the ring, some books,
a punch bowl, also other relies of his are here on exhibition, together
with some things that belonged to his wife.
He studied theology; was a licensed preacher; received a number
of “calls” but never accepted a charge. Some of his sermons were
burned about twenty-two years ago, when his son Timothy’s house
was destroyed by fire in Lewis, N. Y.
He began a diary in 1766 from which many facts are taken to aid
in the revised Genealogy.
He married Sarah Ingersoll of Ridgefield, Conn., for his first wife.
They had one child, Sarah Ingersoll. For his second wife, he married
Joanna Johnson of Wallingford, Conn., September 9, 1771. Nine
children were given to them all born at Farmington. Charles John-
son, Anna, Samuel, Noah. Abigail, Seth, Rhoda, George W. and
Timothy Pitkin.:
Deacon Seth kept a ‘‘tavern” and an apothecary store here, but in
June 1796, he, with his family, moved to Ludiow. Vt., where he and
his wife used their influence and talents to establish a moral and
religious state of society.
Among the twenty-four original members of the Congregational
chureh organized there 1806, is found the name of Joanna Lee.
Deacon Seth Lee died at Ludlow, and the following inscription is
found upon the table-stone. 54% by 3 feet square and four inches
thick, which rests upon boulders, about six inches from the ground,
that marks his last resting place
“Here lieth interred the body of Deacon Seth Lee, A. M., a gentle-
man of good understanding, solid learning and calm temper, a faith-
ful friend, and exemplary christian, liv’d, belov’d and died lamented,
on the 17th of February, 1803 in the 67th year of his age.”’
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. XV
“THE MEMORY OF THE JUST IS BLESSED.”
There has been some talk of moving the stone bearing this inscrip-
tion, together with the ashes of our ancestor, to the cemetery in
Lewis, N. Y., and placing them beside his wife, Joanna, whose plain
marble slab bears the following:
“In memory of Joanna, wife of Deacon Seth Lee, died September
8, 1818, in her 76th year.”
“All you that read with little care,
And go away,and leave me here,
Don’t you forget. than you must die,
And be entombed, as well as I.”
Noah, the fourth child by Joanna, married Clarissa Nicholson, of
New Hartford, Conn., May 1, 1806. Their children were Clarissa,
Sarah Ann, Julia Bertha, Ralza Morse, and Chauncey. Only one of
this ‘family is living, Mrs. Julia Bertha Wescott of New Lisbon, Wis-
consin, aged 81 years, and Squier Lee of Bristol, Indiana, a husband
of Clarissa, in his 89th year, who is of Scotch descent, and is present.
Noah, with some of his brothers, came to the State of New York,
early in the 19th century, and not far from the beautiful Lake Cham-
plain. in the town of Lewis, Essex Co., cleared the ground and built
their ‘log-cabins;” then returned for their wives. All the children
of my father’s family, were born in the log-house, but my father. who
had the honor of being ‘‘the baby,” inthe new house, which still stands
in a good state of preservation, but repaired by my father in 1859,
also additional repairs by my brother, who, with his wife, now occupy
the old homestead.
Noah, with a number of his brothers served in the war of 1812. He
was ‘‘justice of the peace” for nearly thirty years, and was a shoe-
maker by trade.
My father. Chauncey, was born August 25th, 1820, married Amanda
M. Wells of Oak Center, Wisconsin, January 10, 1860, both deceased.
They had three children, Irvin Elmer, Clara, deceased, and myself.
Thus the links in my chain are: Chauncey, Noah, Seth, Jared,
Thomas, John Ist.
In the winter of 1893, we received a letter from Leonard Lee, ad-
dressed to my father, who died November 5, 1891, asking about the
decendants of Deacon Seth Lee. I answered the letter, giving all the
data I could get at that time. In the summer of 1895 our kinsman,
and one of the moving spirits of this gathering, Leonard Lee, came
up into the Adirondack Mountains of New York and visited our home.
He then urged me to prepare a paper for this gathering, and sug-
gested for my text, ‘‘The Importance of Keeping Genealogical
Records.”
Like many another of the weaker sex, I pleaded my inability to
prepare an article suitable to present to such a learned assemblage as
this, but as usual, the stronger sex prevailed, and I am here and will
endeavor to fulfil my promise to the best of my ability, trusting that
you, in your kindness of heart, which is ever a characteristic of our
race, wiJl not harshly criticise the numerous errors made by a
*‘country-school ma’am.”
XV1 LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
How many of us, present, really know our fathers and our mothers ?
Some of you may think. ‘why ! know my parents, certainly I do.” or
did, as the case may be, but I fear there are but few of us who really
know them as we ought. Are we not oftener strangers, except in
name? We have too little in common. Perhaps diversity of employ-
ment may be one reason, but would it not be well and serviceable to
search the family tree, even to its roots and the nature of its soil, that
we may ascertain what forces, spiritual, moral or physical, and what
habits, pursuits and beliefs had to do with the origin, and shaping of
our bodies and our minds ?
Certainly a parent should familiarize himself with the personal
traits and peculiarities of his child, and ought not the child to study
closely the temperaments and habits of his parents? Yes! his an-
cestors ?
For my part I do not care to undertake to prove the ‘Darwinian
theory,” or on the other hand, trace my ancestral line back to the
garden of Eden, but I do think we ought to know more of our ances-
tors, than most of us do, for the reality of heredity is beyond question,
though, perhaps, there is no other law, apparently, subject to as many
exceptions and variations. Ambitions and aptitudes, talents and ~
traits, virtues and vices often continue in the line of descent from re-
motest times, as well as from voice and carriage, but if we are conver-
sant with the personal traits of our ancestors, some of us may be able
to counteract and reverse the disagreeable traits of ourancestors, by
the use of a strong will and the power of God. We have many such
examples as Henry Wilson, once vice-president of the United States,
George Stephenson and others.
What is the extent of a parent’s influence? If we look into the
prisons, the reformatories, or upon the gallows, we see the result of
the influence of one kind, but can we as easily measure the result ofa
good influence? Weseesome ofit when we look at our orphan homes,
schools, colleges, and churches. Surely, something is due to a pious
ancestry, for ‘‘The hand that rocks the cradle, is the hand that rules
the world.”
In the second beautiful letter Paul wrote to Timothy, his young
co-laborer inthe Lord’s vineyard, we find he calls Timothy’s attention
to his worthy ancestors—his grand-mother Lois and his mother
Eunice, and urges him to remember their religious teachings. Letus
try and make religion an heirloom from generation to generation.
Oh! for even one generation of holy men and women. Can you pic-
ture the result ?
Good or bad influence may skip one of two generations, but it may
appear in the third or fourth, just as the ‘Ten Commandments,” speak-
ing of the visitation of God on the families, says nothing about the
second generation, but speaks only of the third and fourth, ‘‘Visiting
the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and
fourth generation of them that hate me, and showing mercy unto
thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.”
Do we know the extent of the influence of our good Mrs. Pickett,
in our line of John 2nd, who was ever a friend and benefactor of the
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. XVI
feeble and unfortunate ? or the interest created in our genealogical
records, by our faithful Sarah Marsh Lee ? or the result of such lives
as our Rev. Samuel and Dr. Thomas Goodrich Lee? Their influence
will be felt in the 20th century.
While we look at our Marthas and our Marys, or at our Johns
and our Lukes, let us not forget the material that characterized our
‘mighty men of valor,’—our Joshuas and our Davids, for we can
justly be proud of our representatives on the battle fields in every
war since John Lee made America his home.
We had our Captain Stephen Lee, who died in 1753, and our Colonel
Isaac Lee, who died in 1802, both took a prominent part in church,
local and military affairs of their day, and among the names of many
others, the name of Captain Noah Lee, who was afterwards Colonel,
stands out prominently in our military records, of the latter part of
the 18th century. I have visited the historical grounds at Crown
Point and Ticonderoga—where our Captain Noah held command—
and in a feeble voice, I demanded the surrender of the now fast de-
caying forts. The spoils I brought away with me were some rocks
fromthose historical places.
War is not romance, but a stern reality ; and a man whose brave
ancestors have carried the name he bears, far and wide and made it
a synonym for courage and honor is rightly proud of his descent and
gets from it a new impulse, to bear as brave a part in his own day.
No man ean be truly patriotic, who does not know something of the
nation to which he belongs, and the country in which he lives. But
how ean he become acquainted with these? By studying the histories
of the nation. or country, for history is but a systematic account of
facts and events, and the work of noble men and women
Some may find such a study dry and uninteresting. To those, I
say, they ought to belong to some of the nations of antiquity, where
it was the custom to repeat to each succeeding generation the noble
deeds of their ancestors, thus making history, only a great oral tra-
dition and turning it from the dead records, which some considered it
to be, into a bright and attractive romance. I feel very much in re-
gard to this, like the gentleman, who dined at a country hotel, when
asked which he would have, ‘apple or mince pie,” replied: ‘‘a large
piece of each, please.”
Some seem to forget that a family history, or genealogy, bears the
same relation to the family, as a State history, does to a State.
Some may ‘scout’ the idea of keeping a family record, or history,
but those who do, we can generally place as properly belonging to a
jealous and querulous race, who find no pleasure in other people,
and not even in themselves.
There are multitudes, who scarcely know the meaning of the word
genealogy, and the extent the work is being carried on.
One may gain a faint idea of the work by visiting the Genealogical
rooms at Hartford, which contain over six hundred volumes, or the
Genealogical rooms in New York, which contain over nine hundred
volumes, or the New England Historie Genealogical rooms at Boston,
Mass., which possess a library of 20,770 volumes and 60,000 pamphlets.
XV111 LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
I had the pleasure of spending a little time in the rooms at Boston
during the summer of 795, and it was there I first realized the exteut
of this important work.
A new interest has been created in this line, within the past few
years, by the organization of such societies as ‘‘The Sons of the
Revolution,” ‘* The Daughters of the Revolution,” ‘*Children of the
American Revolution,” ‘‘ Colonial Dames,” ete., and many who might
be eligible to become members of these societies will be unable to give
satisfactory evidence as to their eligibility, as no genealogical records
of their ancestors have been kept, and the testimony of these worthy
people cannot be obtained from the country they now inhabit,
Some know, comparatively, nothing of their ancestors, only,
perhaps, a few names with birth and death found in some old family
Bible. I know of an earnest worker in the Y. M. C. A., who has
tried to trace his line back and find to what great family he belongs,
but has been unable, because his parents, who have passed away,
did not realize the importance of informing their son, as he once
asked his father what he was, and his father burst into immoderate
laughter, which continued for some time, then, recovering himself,
replied : ‘‘Well, you know that on your mother’s side you are of-
German descent. My father was an Englishman, my mother an Irish
woman, so that you are one-half German, one-fourth English and
one-fourth Irish ; or, in other words, you area mongrel,” followed by
another prolonged fit of laughter.
And, too, there are many, who have not considered the time, labor
and money expended in the revision of our Genealogy, by our faith-
ful workers, Wm. Wallace and Leonard Lee, and others, as many of
their letters, asking for information have remained unanswered, for
months. Yes! some never answered, and yet when these people come
to examine our new book, they will feel almost indignant to find an
incomplete record, or no record of their family there. Who will be
to blame ?
We are all familiar, with the reply Michael Angelo gave to a friend
who called on him while finishing a statute ; sometime afterward he
called again ; the sculptor was still at work ; his friend, looking at the
pieture exclaimed : ‘‘ You have been idle since I saw you last,” ‘* By
no means,” replied the sculptor; 1 have retouched this part and
polished that; I have softened this feature and brought out this
muscle; I have given more expression to this lip, and more energy to
that limb,’—‘‘ Weil, well,” said his friend. ‘‘but they are trifles ’—
‘‘Tt may be so,” replied Angelo, ‘‘ but recollect that trifles make per-
fection and perfection is no trifle,’ so with our Genealogy, they have
retouched the lives of some; brought to our notice others of whom we
knew little, and they have brought the records down to the present
time, as complete as possible, and I think we ought to show our ap-
preciation of their work.
We find by carefully examining our Bibles, that it was considered
important to keep genealogical records ; we find in the book of Gene-
sis the records of the institution of the first family,—that of Adam
and Eve.-—also of their family. The books of Chronicles are largely
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. bs
given up to such records. The beautiful book of Ruth gives a con-
necting link in the life of Christ, and in the first chapter of Matthew
we find the genealogy of Christ from Abraham to Joseph.
The Jews, in particular, regarded such. records of extreme impor-
tance, and they are all placed in the Seriptures for our instruction.
Thus we have the early example of ‘keeping sacred the memory
of our ancestors,” and of keeping their genealogy for the interest of
future generations.
An opinion prevails somewhat among our kindred, that there is
somewhere a vast fortune that we are heirs to, if we can only trace
our connection to certain families in England, but, I trust, dear
friends, we all are joint heirs to ‘that inheritance, incorruptible,
undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,”
and that we may all meet on that “ Beautiful shore.”
The poet says:
“Two things there are we have no voice in choosing,
Our ancestors, nor our existence here ;
Fate’s mandates here admit of no refusing,
From prince, or beggar, sinner, saint or seer.”
At the noon hour the company adjourned to another room in
which had been provided a sumptuous collation by Mrs. H. L.
Crandall.
It was an hour of sociability and complimentary remarks on the
several papers which had been read, and the pleasant aspect of
the gathering, notwithstanding the extreme heat of the day.
Coming from various parts of the country but few had ever before
met. Little ceremony, however, was required to form an ac-
quaintance, and a general feeling prevailed, that they were the
scattered children of one family, who had returned to rally
around the old hearthstone.
At 1:30 the assemblage was again called to order, the exercises
commencing by singing the following:
LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
COME YE ALL.

The old familiar air was rendered with a hearty good will, fol-
lowing which, Miss Sarah Fiske Lee of New Hampshire, daughter
of Rev. Samuel Lee, a well known clergyman and author, was
escorted to the platform and introduced by Wm. Wallace Lee, in
a few appropriate remarks. A historical paper, prepared with
much care was read by her, which gave rise to many complimen-
tary remarks, and awakened a deep interest in the project of a
new family genealogy which it was intended soon to publish. An
abstract only has been furnished by her, as follows:
«Pride of ancestry is a natural and ennobling sentiment,” and
we, as a people, are, in these later years, awaking to an appreciation
of the grandeur and strength of the lives and characters of those who
have lived here before us, and also of the debt we owe to them.
‘““Our ancestors paid too great a price to be forgotten or ignored.”
Their “plain living and high thinking,” and ‘their only luxury
doing good” show their character, and it stands out in bold relief
against the background of bigotry and intolerance, which attempted
to follow them across the sea.
One of the favorite pursuits of the present day is that of genea-
logical research, and it is now most unfashionable not to know the
name of one’s great grandfather, at the very least, and, once in the
outer circle of the whirlpool of such research, one is borne onward in
ever narrowing and deepening circles toward the Maelstrom, from
which there is no escape.
We have high authority for thinking that the record of our
lineage is worthy our attention. The first book mentioned in the
Bible is a genealogy, ‘‘The book of the generations of Adam,” and
six chapters of Genesis are devoted to a genealogical record. We all
XX11 LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
remember the long catalogue of names in the first chapters of Chron-
icles. Among the Hebrews, persons were specially appointed to draw
up genealogical tables, and sometimes these were continued for many
hundreds of years. The Greeks and ancient Romans gave great
attention to keeping a record of their lines of descent, and, when
speaking of any of their heroes, always gave the name of the father,
and perhaps of the grandfather. Some of their military orders
required a record of the ancestors of a candidate before being
admitted to their ranks. This is true, though in a less degree, of
early English history.
As a family we are specially fortunate. Before 1766, Seth Lee (born
1736) graduated as tutor at Yale College, wrote a family record be-
ginning with a statement of all that was then known of John Lee
the emigrant, (his great grandfather.) He carefully carried out
the family record of each of the sons of John', and of subsequent
ewenerations as he was able, until his death in 18038. His grandfather's
youngest brother David (son of John!) lived until Seth was 23 years
old, and doubtless related to him many traditions of his father, and
his contemporaries. Traditions of those early days have a value not
given to those of a later date. There was less to divert and absorb
the attention. Amusements were largely social, and there was so
little ‘‘news of the day” that people were driven to talking of the
past and its events for entertainment, and the aged person of clear
memory, and a good narrator, was held in high esteem. Families then
were not scattered, and when they met in family conclave, the con
versation could be more personal than in a more general circle. We
may therefore fully rely upon the statements in the manuscript of
Seth.
After his death in 1803, there was an interval of many years, during
which our records depended upon family Bibles, and occasionally a
manuseript record of a particular family for three or four gener-
ations, as did other clans less favored in this respect.
About 1845, Deacon Charles Lee of Norwich, Conn., began, for his
own pleasure, to collect material for a genealogy, consulting records
of church, town, state and probate, and traveling quite extensively.
During these researches he ran across the path of Rev. Samuel Lee of
New Ipswich, N. H., who was engaged in the same line of investiga-
tion, and they began a correspondence and a partnership of interest
and research terminated only by the death of Deacon Lee in 1865.
The work was continued, at intervals, by Rev. Mr. Lee and Miss
Sarah Marsh, only daughter of Deacon Lee, who had been her
father’s sympathetic and intelligent helper in all his work.
In 1872, Mr. Lee, with his youngest son, George William, discov-
ered the headstone of John!', and the beautiful monument which now
marks the resting place of our honored ancestor was placed there by
William Henry Lee of New York city.
In 1874, Rev. Mr. Lee, with the help of his only daughter, Sarah
Fiske, prepared an article, published in the Historical and Genea-
logical Register, giving a record, nearly complete, of the first four
generations from John!. Extra copies of this were printed for
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. XXH1
private circulation, and it is familiar to many of you. This was a
fine nucleus for a larger genealogy, and aroused interest in the work
in many of our clan. Miss Sarah Marsh was urged to complete the
work, for which so much material had been collected. At first, she
was reluctant to do so, but the persuasion and encouragement
of many friends, and, most of all, her filial love led her to undertake
this work, and she compiled, with almost infinite painstaking, the
book which was published in 1878. It was as complete as material
which could then be obtained would permit. Many branches were
omitted, others given only in part, but everything possible to accu-
racy and unwearied industry was done. In accuracy, clearness and
felicity of general arrangement, this book stands in the first rank
among kindred works, and has been taken as a sample by later
genealogical writers.
From this book was made out the list of names of Lees who were
invited to the Family Reunion of 1884. That Reunion was to us an
event of the greatest importance. Previously, we had almost en-
tirely been to each other mythical beings, having indeed names and
loeal habitations. but otherwise being only ‘“‘airy nothings.” Friend-
ships were formed, and the tie of kinship there first recognized has
strengthened, and the circle has widened. The result we see to-day
in the meeting of the kindred, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from
Canada to our southern boundaries.
At the meeting in 1884, a permanent organization was effected, and
William Wallace Lee was chosen Secretary. He at once began a
search for those missing branches of our family tree, aud his perse-
verance has been rewarded by the discovery of, not only families,
but tribes of our Lees, who have been dispersed throughout the
land. Years were spent in this labor and a mountain of names and
dates accumulated. Mr. Lee, busied day by day in his chosen calling,
could not arrange these letters and he called for help. Leonard Lee
of Kenosha, Wis., was the first to answer the call. He found among
these letters so much that was valuable in the way of records that,
with Wallace, he decided that it was desirable to put it in print, that
it might besaved for those to whom in the future it would be of price-
less value. Not content with this, Mr. Leonard Lee took many jour-
neys, on genealogical errands bent, visited families in their homes,
copied records from family Bibles,—the truest records in the world,
except possibly those found in cemeteries—collected data and tradi-
tions from aged persons, searched newspaper files of the last century,
and in a different way, did quite as much work as had been done, in
his way by Wallace Lee.
On reaching Meriden, Conn., Leonard Lee patiently reduced the
chaotic mass of records and papers to a degree of order, and papers
relating to the different branches were classified. At this stage of
affairs, Miss Sarah Fiske, daughter of Rev. Samuel Lee, consented to
take charge of the John branch, and later of the Stephen branch,
also, in the latter, receiving most efficient aid from Mrs. Jeannette
Lee Coe of Winsted, Conn. Letters of inquiry beyond computation
have been written by these compilers. Names and dates have been
XX1V LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
sought by repeated questionings and—sometimes found, then ar-
ranged, doubted, contradicted and re-arranged, only finally to be
“sifted as wheat.’ Records have been searched, cemeteries visited,
contemporary genealogies consulted, and now the book is nearly
written and everything done that has come within the power or
scope of the workers.
Would you like to know something of the work and what it would
tell you? You will find it in the work about to be published.
As the remainder of this article consisted only of an outline of
the Lee Genealogy, not then published, it is not given here.
It seemed becoming that some proper recognition should be
observed of the kindred who were with us in 1884, and had since
passed away. The President called upon Wm. Wallace Lee,
who had kept a record of deaths, as far as he had been able to
obtain them. Few of those present were aware of the mortality
which had occurred among those who were with us in 1884, and
his remarks were listened to with profound interest.
MORTUARY.
The grand procession that is moving onward to the unseen shore,
is composed of the young, as well as the old, the robust as well as the
feeble. It is doubtful if there was ever assembled a group of one
hundred, composed of the saine individuals. on two separate occas-
ions. The prediction which was made at the close of our first gath-
ering (found on page 70 of the book published in 1885) has been
more than verified.
Of those who were present at our first meeting, I have a list of
thirty who have died, and very likely the number weuld exceed that
if I had full returns from all the families that were represented there
Of those from whom responses were received, with words of encour-
agement, and yet, from various causes were unable to attend, I have
alist of thirty-four that have died, and I feel quite certain that the
number would exceed that. if I had the names of all. In only a sinall
number of cases has any one taken pains to inform me of any deaths
among the kindred, so that I have been compelled to obtain what
I have in a fragmentary way. All the information that I have
gathered in this line will appear in the new edition of our family
history when published. I feel it is meet and proper to mention the
names of our officers, who have by words of encouragement and
material assistance, helped to promote the work in which we have
been engaged.
The death of Gad Henry Lee, the week following our meet-
ing, was a shock to us all, soon followed by the death of Rev. A.
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. XXV
L. Loveland of Granby. Worthy tributes were furnished, which
can be found in the book, pages 84, 85 and 86. I cannot give them in
chronological order, but they include Sarah Marsh Lee of Norwich,
Ct., Dr. Mary Victoria Lee of Oswego, N. Y., Willard O. Lee of
Springfield, Mass., William Wallace Lee of Bristol, Ind. He removed
to Snohomish, Wash., and died there. At the time of our meeting
it was thought he was one of our family, but subsequent information
did not confirm the opinion. Augustin N. Lee, Chicago; Francis
Lee, Clinton, Iowa; Richard Henry Lee of Spring Hill, Kas., who
enjoyed our meeting so much; Henry V. B. Lee, Long Island City,
L. I.; Nathaniel Smith Lee, Oneida, N. Y., both of them soldiers ;
John R. Lee, Buffalo. N. Y., who took a very deep interest in family
matters; Andrew Frink Lee, Buffalo. All who were at our first
meeting remember his genial, hearty way. ‘Thomas Lee, Westmore-
land, N. Y., who rendered valuable information; Luther Clark Lee,
Aurora, captain in an Illinois regiment, and Benjamin F. Lee,
Oakland, Cal., brother of Richard Henry, Kansas. With very few
exceptions, all of those here named were ready and willing to
assist in all that I had attempted to do to promote the objects of our
association.
On April 9, 1895, our President, William Henry Lee, died at his
home (for later years) in Hartford. Perhaps it is because as a prin-
cipal officer of our association, I was brought more closely in contact
with him, that I have feit the loss so keenly, but his death is a loss
which can but be severely felt by us all. I say frankly to you that,
had it not been for his kind words of cheer and encouragement,
coupled with material assistance, always so generously rendered, I
should have been strongly tempted many times to lay aside the work
I had undertaken and abandon it forever. But I came to feel that
T had his confidence, and the more I knew him the more I admired
him. Iwas many times invited to his home and shared his hospitality
on several oceasions. To him we are all indebted for the handsome
stone that marks the burial place of our common ancestor, and also
for the deep interest which he took in all pertaining to our common
family history.
Were he living, I would not be permitted to say these words of
eulogy. His modesty was so marked a trait of his character, he would
not have allowed it. To whom shall we look to fill his place? I fear
we shall find it a very difficult matter to carry on the work which he
was so anxious to see completed, i. e., a more full and complete record
of our common family. I earnestly hope some way can bedevised. His
worth as a man, as a citizen, loyal to his church and his convictions,
we all know, and we may name our kinsman with a feeling of pride
and tenderness combined. ;
This list which I have read, impresses us all with the fact that our
ranks are being continually broken, and is even more forcibly brought
to our attention when I say of all the gray-haired men who sat upon
the platform at our first meeting, Deacon William Lee, of Marysville,
O., alone survives. Looking out toward that unknown land to which
XXV1 LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
we are all hastening with the faith our fathers held, we can say ‘it is
well,” for I have no doubt that all of us, no matter what our faith
creed or sect, hope for something brighter and better beyond, but,
‘We may not know its soft and balmy air,
How bright and fair its flowers.
We may not hear the songs that echo there,
Through those celestial bowers.”
The mortuary exercises concluded by singing an appropriate
selection, commencing: ‘‘ Thou art gone to the grave, but we
will not deplore thee,” after which the assemblage adjourned
to visit the old church and cemetery.
The old church, built in 1771, on the site of the edifice in which
our ancestors worshipped, and in which many of the earlier
generations were christened, was an object of great interest. Its
quaint furnishings, though much modernized, and its broad
galleries, still showed the antique style, and were particularly
novel to those from the Western States. Seth Lee was for many
years, deacon of this church, and in it his children were all
baptized.
The ancient cemetery in which our ancestor, John Lee was
buried in 16g0o—a few minutes walk south of the church, was
next visited. On the height of ground the modern monument
of John Lee—erected by the munificence of William H. Lee in
1876, is a conspicious object. Standing by its side, in a sub-
stantial base, is the rude headstone of two hundred years ago.
It was looked upon with veneration, and by most of those
present, for the first time. A few yards distant, and apparently
wrought by the same hand, may be seen the headstone of
Stephen Hart, Jr.,—brother of Mary Hart Lee—who died in
1689.
When the company had assembled about the monument, the
President, Rev. F. T. Lee, made a few remarks, speaking sub-
stantially as follows:
Few words are necessary at a time like this. The occasion itself
speaks far more impressively than human language could do, and it
is for us, simply to interpret and to apply its lessons. To me the
hour seems sacred. Many and interesting are the associations which
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. XXV11
cluster about the name of our common ancestor. The details of his
life which have come down to us are exceedingly meager, and imag-
ination naturally seeks to supply what history fails to give. Since
my attention has been turned to the subject of our ancestry, I have
often wondered in regard to the early home and surroundings of the
boy who came to this new and wilderness land over 260 years ago—
the motives which prompted him, the object which he hoped to
achieve. I have thought of the ‘‘ breaking of the home ties,” which
proved to be final so far as we know, there being nothing to show
that he ever re-visited his native land, or that his parents came later
to this country. I have followed him in imagination as he made the
long and tedious voyage, devoid of the comforts of modern ocean
travel; have tried to put myself in his place, and to imagine the sense
of strangeness with which he must have regarded everything in the
new land; the lonely hours he must have spent; the homesickness,
perhaps, which he may have experienced ; for a boy of only fourteen
years must frequently have thoughts of the home and the parents he
had left, and, however considerate his guardians may have been, must
often have longed for the mother’s kindly sympathy and tender love.
I wonder, too, how deeply, as he grew to maturer years, he en-
tered into the real spirit of the movement of his time, which prompted
so many to come to this land, sacrificing much, enduring hardships,
frequently suffering great loss. I wonder, also, if his thought was
ever turned reflectively to the future,—of the nation then in the
earliest beginnings; of its institutions then in their incipiency ; of
his own posterity, destined to be so numerous and_ influential.
Little, doubtless, did he dream of an occasion like this, generations
later, when his descendants from all over this broad land, should
come together to do honor to his memory. Most likely his thoughts
were occupied chiefly, as ours are to-day, with the present, little
realizing the great things which the future had in store for this
country. If he did, if any of us indeed were to dwell upon what the
years may bring, we should all, I apprehend, feel constrained to do as
the lady who always, in her prayers, remembered, not only her children
then living, but all her posterity as well.
I am impressed with one thought in particular as I stand here
beside the grave of ourancestor, this afternoon. It is the significance,
the worth, the dignity of the individual. John Lee, as a boy in the
immigrating company, was little noticed or thought of, probably, save
as simply a boy among other boys, and he himself, I presume, had no
unusual consciousness of importance. And yet, see what results have
flowed from his coming—the long line of descendants, the relations
they have sustained to the development of this State and other
States, the record they have made, of which we have been hearing
to-day. He was a link in a chain, the beginning of a new line of
succession, as it were. Great interests for the years to come centered
in him.
So with us all, my friends, each one is a link. Important interests
eenter in us for the future, if not for to-day. What we need is to
realize this more than we sometimes do, and realizing it, to recognize
XXV1l1 LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
that life is real and earnest, seek to act well our part in the living
present, that those of the years to come, our descendants, may take
pride in recalling us—rejoice to do us honor, and gather inspiration
from our example and spirit, to greater fidelity and to nobler lives for
themselves.
An appropriate selection was sung at the close, but the over-
powering heat of the sun shortened the time which would have
been most interestingly spent among the headstones of more
than two centuries ago.
The day was now far spent, and those who had come by
carriages returned to their home, while others enjoyed a refresh-
ing ride by trolley, to Hartford, and spent another pleasant
evening in the hotel parlors. Thus passed the first day.
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. XX1X
SECOND DAY.—Avcust 138.
Called to order at 10 o’clock and meeting opened by prayer by
Prof. H. C. King, and singing of Coronation.
All seemed refreshed by a cooler breeze, and several new arrivals
were noted.
A Roll of Honor was now read, comprising a list of soldiers
furnished by the family, in the various wars of the country,
commencing with Stephen Hart who, accompanied Captain John
Mason in the Pequot war of 1637. Names were given of seven-
teen who served in the French war, 49 in the Revolutionary
war, Ig in the War of 1812-15, two Canadians in the British
army, and g4 in the War of 1861-65, and five Confederates. The
list had been compiled by Leonard Lee, as the result of much
research through the State archives, and from other sources of
information, and still the roll is deemed incomplete, especially of
those who served in the Civil war. The paper was read by
William Wallace Lee, preceded by a few remarks, and followed
by the singing of a selection, commencing,
‘Though far and wide our heroes sleep,”
to the tune of Old Hundred.
A verbal report from the committee on re-organization was
next listened to.
It was recommended that the officers of the ‘‘ Lee Association”
consist of five vice-presidents, one of whom should be chosen
as president, besides one secretary and treasurer and one
assistant secretary and treasurer.
The report was adopted, and choice made ot Te. following
officers :
VICE PRESIDENTS.
Miss SARAH F. LEE, of New Ipswich, N. H., of the ‘‘ John” branch.
JAMES T. LER, of New Britain, Conn., of the ‘‘Stephen” branch.
LEONARD LEE, of Kenosha, Wis., of the ‘‘ Thomas” branch.
GEORGE H. LEE, of Bridgeport, Conn., of the ‘‘ David” branch.
EDWIN LEE HEATH, of Brantford, Ont., of the ‘‘ Canadians.”
SECRETARY AND TREASURER.
WILLIAM WALLACE LEE, Meriden, Conn.
LEONARD LEK, Kenosha, Wis., Assistant.
James T. Lee of New Britain, was chosen President, and
accepted the office in a few becoming remarks.
XXX LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
A publishing committee was also appointed consisting of
William Wallace Lee, Miss Sarah F. Lee and Leonard Lee, to
which was added the President, James T. Lee.
A consideration of the reports of the Secretary and Treasurer,
which were read in the morning, came next 1n order.
The subject of providing funds to defray the expense of pub-
lishing a new genealogy which was nearly ready for the press,
was freely discussed. It was stated that it would be unbecoming
to the Lee family to contract a debt for the purpose—that the
compilers had already expended several hundred dollars on their
own account, and that not less than $500 in hand, would
warrant them to take any preliminary steps in that direction.
This amount, with advance subscriptions for the work in pros-
pect, would enable them to proceed.
The discussion was abruptly terminated by Mr. H. H. Osgood
of Norwich, Conn., who generously pledged $100, which was
received with applause. (Mr. Osgood is not of the Lee blood, |
but from childhood has been associated with the Lees, and made
choice of a Lee girl for a wife. )
Mrs. Osgood promptly supplemented her husband’s generous
donation by the addition of $25 from her own resources ; Wilbur
E. Lee of Cambridge, Mass., added $25; Mrs. William H. Lee,
Hartford, $50; and subsequently D. Bradley Lee of St. Louis,
sent in his check for $75. Several subscriptions in advance were
received, with the cash or pledged for 30 days—quite a number
being for two copies or more; $350 being paid or pledged within
a few minutes. This business was disposed of in less time than
is required to write it, and farther business left in the hands of a
committee.
Letters received from the kindred in various parts of the
country were read, regretting their inability to be present, but
expressing their sympathy in the re-union,
Then followed an address by Professor H. C. King of Oberlin
College. Professor King is a graduate of Yale and is widely
known. His address was a scholarly effort, and delivered without
notes, in a style which commanded attention. His subject was,
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY OF FAMILY HISTORY.
You will see from the subject assigned me by the committee, that
it falls to me really to tell you what you are here for. What reasons
are there for the importance of the study of fainily history? Certain
semi-serious considerations present themselves at once. In the first
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. XXX1
place, the student of family history is quite certain to gain a new
sense of the meaning of genealogy. The papers already heard show
how wari is the appreciation of the ardent genealogist for portions
of the Bible not counted the juciest. Even Genesis i and x, and Ist.
Chronicles i to ix stir his enthusiasm. He is prepared to understand
how much lies behind the mere record of names. Nor is our ardent
genealogist far wrong. The books of Chronicles were meant to rouse
the generation to whom they were addressed to renewed devotion to
to the nation and its mission ; and the recounting of the more notable
of the names in each tribe was a most potent appeal. These names
were a direct incitement to be worthy of their ancestors and to be
true to their inheritance.
And then the study of your genealogy ministers to a proper self-
esteem. When I was studying in Harvard University, there was a
student known as Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, a direct descendant
of Thomas Jefferson. I noticed that his name always appeared in
full, and I suppose it would have been a near approach to deadly
insult to refer to him at any time as plain “T. J. Coolidge.” In
my wanderings around Boston, I used to see on the door-plate of a
physician, ‘‘Dr. Miles Standish.” The wildest effort of my imagin-
ation has not enabled me to picture the doctor signing even the most
hurried prescription simply ‘‘M. Standish.” I imagine the past was
an absolutely necessary part of self, of each of these men. They were
more to themselves because of it. Nor is this all delusion. It is worth
something to get your bearings in this old world of ours: to find out
your definite connections in this universe of relations. You are not
so mere an atom. One must be sorry for the man without a grand-
father.
And it may well be that the study of family history has a moral
value. Family pride may prove areal moral restraint. If the State
counts the simply married man a distinctly safer citizen, and reckons
every new tie a fresh pledge of good conduct, what shall be said of
the assured moral steadiness of the man with his genealogy of eight
generations and a family history of five hundred pages?
And if I am reminded here of Jeremy Taylor’s humbling remark,
that family pride is only being proud that your ancestors were better
than you are, I have to reply that just here lies the solace for us Lees
(and many another family besides), that we have not ancestors of ex-
ceptional distinction. Evidently they were true to their Connecticut
tradition and training, and believed in local independence and
individuality, and meant to give us. their descendants, a chance,
Fortunately, therefore, we are without the one distinguished an-
cestor who would have doomed us all to being merely his distant
imitators. We are rescued from the oblivion of Juniors, Seconds,
Thirds, and allowed to be ourselves. And this leads me to add that I
am thankful for another feature of the Lee genealogy : the originality
of our beginnings in this country. The Lees emigrated from
England as a boy. We thus escaped forever the ‘‘ three brothers”
who came over in the same boat. That fourteen year old boy, I take
it, must have had sturdiness and independence. And this origin
XXXIl LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
may have something to do with the reputed liveliness and originality
of the Lees. This boy origin seems to me also, to come the nearest
possible to solving the problem of how to get a simon-pure American
ancestry, which should not be Indian. John Lee ought to have been
a particularly good Democrat. At his age he must have had few
monarchial prejudices to adjure ; and from his first day’s landing on
these shores, he belonged to the community which was the very
cradle of American Democracy. That origin seems to me, to be
sufficiently American.
To speak a little more seriously of my subject, I mention as a fur-
tber reason for the importance of the study of family history, the
widening sense of kinship which is certain to result. The first motive
to genealogical study seems often to be rather exclusive,—perhaps a
desire to join the Sons of the Revolution. But in the end I believeits
tendency to be altruistic. We are not merely ‘ harking back to a phys-
ical fact,” but rather only using our common origin as an excuse for
further mental acquaintance, based on a family psychological resem-
blance. A genealogical tree with its endless ramifications, is a kind
of graphic illustration of the kinship of the race. Our hearts warm,
as we study it, toward many who had seemed wholly strange. Our
connections with the mother countries become real. As individuals
and as patriots we are less narrow and selfish than we were.
Recognition of the importance of the study of family history,
morover, is quite in harmony with the modern method of beginning
from the home in the teaching of history, and with the modern em-
phasis on biography. To feel a personal connection with even the
merest bit of history adds reality to all history. No Lee, I am sure,
can have followed, in imagination, John Lee in his connection with
Thomas Hooker’s Company, and later under the long ministry of
Hooker’s son at Farmington, and not found all the beginnings of
American History more alive for him. The study of family history
has thus one of the chief gains of travel.
And simply for the better understanding of ourselves, the study of
family history is important. Many a puzzle in one’s psycological
make-up would be far easier of solution if we knew our ancestors
better. It is of value to know the family characteristics, in their
strength and their weakness. Nor is this a consideration of merely
curious or prudential value. Every motive of love and respect urges
that one know the entire lives of at least his father and mother well.
I wish I might persuade every person to whom is still granted the
presence of father or mother, to secure from them carefully written
accounts of their lives. Those accounts would be priceless documents,
and they would grow in preciousness with one’s years.
A still deeper, and for me the chief reason, for the cultivation of
family history lies in a national characteristic. We Americans need
to cultivate the historical sense, personally, practically. No thought-
ful American living for even a brief time among any European people
can fail to be impressed, as by a novel sensation, with the evidence,
everywhere present, of a sense of constant connection with the past.
The German’s ‘‘ Hs ist immer so” seems the one reason for every ques-
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. XXX111
tioned institution. A nation has always, Lotze says, two duties, in
seeming opposition: on the one hand, the duty of keeping faith with
the past, of preserving some living community with those gone, the
conservative tendency, the recognition of historical right; on the
other hand, the duty of fidelity to the interests of the present, of
revolt against the ‘‘dead hand:” the radical tendency, the recogni-
tion of abstract right. One need hardly go further than the opening
sentences of the Declaration of Independence to see that the latter
tendency is much strongerin Americans. Our history and our circum-
stances have increased this tendency. The so-called practical Amer-
ican mind tends in fact in these relations to become very theoretical.
We are profoundly and unduly influenced by theories, by abstract
considerations, and greatly lack what older countries have—the histor-
ical brake. And yetso called abstract justice may often be the rankest
injustice; for it is likely to be mere arbitrary classing, with no recog-
nition of individual differences, and doing away with all distinctions.
Its mood, as Professor James reminds us, is essentially that of the
Shah of Persia, who declined when in England to take any interest in
the Derby; for he said it was already known to him that one horse
could run faster than another. Which horse was the faster was no
matter. And yet it is the individual who is the reality, and not the
class. Therealisconcrete always. One must, therefore, freely grant
Professor James’ contention that ‘‘the obstinate insisting that tweedle-
dum is not tweedle-dee is the bone and marrow of life.” So far, then,
as the radical and abstract tendency is dominantin us, we need to cul-
tivate the historical sense. Weneed to recognize that our roots are in
the past, and to keep our faith with the past. Our country is too new,
and our history too short to make very real any sense of obligation
to the generations gone. There is little to remind us of them. We
are always ready to begin anew. Few of us live even in the same
town in which our fathers lived. Not a Lee, for example, remains
here in Farmington, in this original home of our ancestors ; and other
families with a record as old, are similarly scattered. Almost the
only ancient thing many of us have is our ancestry. It becomes us
to make the most of that.
Closely connected with this need of the sense of community with
the past is the need of the spiritual possession of our surroundings.
Both enlarge self. ‘The self needs to express itself in its surroundings.
There is great loss here for our wandering population. Our whole
people are too much like city renters, who have no real home, and
have never put an atom of themselves into their places of abode.
The mere conveniences of a flat can never make a home. This tramp
life makes us vastly poorer, and lessens greatly the sense of responsi-
bility, civic and moral. The mere renter, or the frequent mover, has
not expressed himself in anything that abides. Therefore all ties set
more lightly on him. The American, to be sure, often has a rarely
high spiritual appreciation of the home; but he is greatly hampered
by his surroundings in this regard. The literal possession of the pa-
ternal homestead is not possible to many of us; the spiritual posses-
XXXIV LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
sion of the family kinship is; and this may do much to make up for
that.
And after all, the only really sacred thing is a person. The Chinese
reverence for ancestors has a much better philosophie basis than the
more common reverence for places. The sacredness of all places and
things is borrowed from persons. Wedo well to recall in filial affection
the names and lives of those who have gone before us, from whom we
have come. Every name inthe most skeleton like genealogy still stands
for a life history; and a little loving imagination re-clothes the barren
name with the beauty and fragrance of a life passionately loved,—loved
as we love life. They, too, lived and loved, hoped and aspired ; they,
too were disappointed and defeated, and had their moments of achieve-
ment and conquest. And from the study of their lives we turn with
chastened ambition and a more tender sympathy, to take up our
allotted task, with its inherited limitations, glad of our living con-
nection with the lives of years gone by.
And we may illustrate these general considerations from our own
historical connections. Is it of no value to remind ourselves that we
belong to the great Puritan stock of whom John Fiske can write:
‘Had it not been forthe Puritans political liberty would probably have
disappeared from the world’? So that ‘‘the moment of Cromwell’s
triumph was the most critical moment in history.” Isit of no value to
know that we belong to the great Puritan exodus to America, which
Fiske thinks gave the final assurance that the English idea of nation
making was to prevail over the Roman idea? so that the Puritan
migration *“‘marks most decisively the dawning of a new era,” and the
end of the Roman Empire. For this exodus was directly connected
with the English struggle for liberty. In the twenty years between
1620 and 1640, 26,000 came to New England; but of that number
scarcely 500 before 1629. The rest came between 1629 and 1640,—
exactly the period when Charles the First was trying to rule England
without a Parliament. Does it mean nothing to us that we belong to
the Connecticut Secession; to the great Democratic towns of Dor-
chester, Newtown, and Watertown, with their dignified protest for the
independence of the town, and with their unique ‘‘movements of
organic communities?” Does it mean nothing that we belong to Con-
necticut, which Goldwin Smith rightly calls ‘‘the cradle of American
Democracy ;” to the State upon which Johnston tells us lay ‘‘for a
time almost the entire burden of the Revolution;” the State that
received and deserved the warmest praise given by Washington in that
struggle, to any State; the State whose clear plan and one hundred and
fifty years of experience of genuine Democracy made clearly dominant
in the critical constitutional convention of the Union? Does it mean
nothing that on both paternal and maternal sides, we belong to the
Company of Thomas Hooker, the father of American Democracy,
whose hand is clearly to be seen in the original Connecticut Consti-
tution, according to John Fiske, “the first written constitution known
to history that created a government;” a Constitution that applied
politically the ecclesiastical principle of the Pilgrims before they
themselves had done it ?
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. XXXV
On the coat of arms of the Lees—to which I know not if they have
any valid title—appears the head of a reined-up horse. Whether
there by right or not, it typifies not illy the reputed Lee character-
istics, —vigorous, spirited, and with something more than a trace of
wilfullness, yet commonly held in hand. For if we care to claim the
device at all, the reining must come from within, not from without.
We must not be wholly unworthy of Plato’s noble figure of the soul
as charioteer, having its steeds in hand. Certainly we must not fall
below even pleasure-loving Aristippus: ‘‘I hold, I am not held. ”—I
master my pleasures ; my pleasures do not master me. If we are true
to our inheritance, with breadth of view and self-control, in some high
sense, we must be able to say with one of the world’s greatest fighters,
“All things are lawful, but I will not be brought under the power
of any.” ;
Following this address, Rev. Dr. Bacchus of Plainville, Conn.,
offered a few remarks on ‘‘ Widening of Kinship.”
The President then called on Wm. Wallace Lee to take the
chair, who then introduced the reverend gentleman, as not only
a genuine Lee, but, through his mother, a lineal descendant of
William Westwood, the guardian of John Lee, when, as a strip-
ling, he immigrated to the American shores. He was the only
descendant of Westwood, known to be present. He then pro-
ceeded to deliver an address on ‘‘ Characteristic Traits of the Lee
Family,’ which as he stated in preliminary remarks, had cost
him a vast amount of labor, from the fact that he had known few
Lees outside of the paternal home circle, and therefore knew
little of their characteristics, and had taken little interest in
family history. Being strongly urged, however, he reluctantly
attempted the task, and found that the more he investigated the
subject, the more he became interested, and presumed the
experience of others would be the same, by a similar investigation.
CHARACTERISTIC TRAITS OF THE LEE FAMILY.
Mr. President, Kindred, and Friends :—
The responsibility is laid upon me of introducing you to your
ancestors. I am to indicate some of their characteristic traits, that
you may know the sort of people with whom your names and _ history
have been irrevocably linked, and thus be enabled intelligently to
determine whether you care to continue the relationship for the future;
especially that you may the better understand yourselves, the inherited
tendencies of your own nature, and the more fully come into posses-
XXXVI LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
sion of the heritage which they, by their spirit and example, have left
for their successors.
The task imposed has not been an easy one. From limited personal
acquaintance ainong the generations preceding, it has involved almost
endless investigation, the ransacking of old and musty records, delving
into the mazes of genealogical research, and particularly a study of
the living, in whom, according to the well known laws of heredity, the
traits of those of other days are wont to reappear. For we are not
simply ourselves, we are also the products of the years gone by; and
just as the various strata in geology have their significance to the
student, so hereditary traits, as they appear in the living, have their
story to tell of those who have gone before. With all its difficulties,
however, the study has been interesting, even fascinating. It has
brought to me a new sense of how varied the forces from the gener-
ations past which are at work in the present. I have also been led
almost to stand in awe of myself, as I have realized that all these
ancestors are, in a sense, looking down upon me, are living in me, are
speaking through me, and that their influence is going on increasingly
beyond me. And when I reflect upon all that such a theme involves,
its practical significance to those in whose veins there flows the blood>
of a common ancestry, and the many thoughts which press for utter-
ance at such a time, I am constrained to sympathize with a certain
Congressman, who, when making a plea for the location of the World’s
Fair at Chicago, said: ‘‘ When I think of the greatness of the city and
the limited time I have in which to speak of it, I feel like the boy who
was set down in the midst of a sugar barrel and exclaimed: ‘O for
time, and a thousand tongues to do this thing justice.’ ”
PRELIMINARY.
Before coming to the subject proper, a few preliminary observa-
tions may help to throw light upon it.
The movement of emigration to New England, which was begun
by the Pilgrim Fathers from religious considerations in 1620, was
continued from similar motives by the Puritans during the years
succeeding. The former settled at Plymouth, the latter at Boston
and vicinity; many, however, pushing westward and establishing
themselves in the wilderness of Connecticut. They were from a great
and growing party in Old England, of all classes, men of intelligence,
piety and culture, who were tired of religious intolerance and
oppression, and came to this soil, not as needy adventurers, but
seeking religious liberty, and for the sake of institutions which they
wished to perpetuate, and which were rendered doubly dear by
sufferings undergone in their behalf. To this end, they were willing,
if necessary, to go to distant regions and to inhospitable shores.
The Pilgrims were more radical and pronounced in their religious
and political opinions, but the Puritans were not far behind them,
especially after they had breathed the free air of the new world for a
season, and together they laid the foundations of New England,
giving to her and to the nation their noblest and best institutions,
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. XXXVI
JOHN LEE.
It was in the midst of such environments as these, such opinions,
such influences in general, that our common ancestor was reared.
Born in the year of the Pilgrim exodus, in Colchester, Essex county,
England—a place which had long been noted as a hot-bed of the new
ideas and spirit—John Lee, a boy of fourteen years, came to America,
under the care of William Westwood, a man of prominence and
member of the first *‘General Court,” landing at Boston in 1634.
The following year, he settled in Connecticut, making Hartford,
then in its beginnings, his home until 1641. He then joined a second
company, which settled in Farmington, nine miles distant, a first com-
pany having located there the year before. His name appears among
those of the first proprietors of the town. Here, in this frontier
settlement, he grew to manhood; was married at the age of thirty-
eight to Mary, daughter of Stephen Hart, leader of the colony;
reared his family of six children; passed through all the vicissitudes
of those early and trying years; died at length in 1690, at the age of
seventy, and was buried in the old Farmington cemetery, where,
twenty years since, a handsome monument was erected to his
memory, replacing the original stone, with its rudely chiseled
inscription, and which now finds a place beside it.
THE EARLY TIMES.
We may imagine something of the simple life and industries of
those sturdy pioneers. Their homes were near together in Farming-
ton. Settlements in the region were few, and communication between
them was rare. Wild beasts prowled in the forests adjacent, while the
country about was occupied by various tribes of roving Indians, their
huts dotting the land, and their canoes frequently appearing upon
the rivers. The relations of the Indians to the whites were usually
amicable, although occasionally they raided the settlements, murder-
ing the people and plundering their homes. There was thus constant
necessity of being upon guard against surprises, and houses were
often fortified and stores of ammunition were provided. Even-as late
as 1691, a year after John Lee’s death, it is upon record that a com-
mittee was chosen to designate certain houses for this purpose.
On the Sabbath day, the great central day of the week, the inhabi-
tants went armed, to the church which had early been erected upon
the same, or nearly the same, site as the present one, gathering from
several miles around, the women carrying their infants, which they
dared not leave behind, and a guard being stationed at the door
while the services were in progress. A drum served as a bell to sum-
mon the people together. This drum, by the way, was still preserved
in 1840, and is referred to in the address which was delivered at that
time—by Noah Porter, Jr., afterwards President of Yale College—in
celebrating the 200th anniversary of the settlement of the town.
Next to the church, in the estimation of the fathers, ranked the
school, which was also provided at an early day. Reverence for
religion and education, together with zeal in their promotion, has
eee
XXXVI111 ‘ LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
ever been a marked characteristic of the posterity of these hardy
pioneers. Town meetings, too, were held,—another New England
institution which has exerted a moulding influence upon the nation.
Here public matters were freely discussed, and important questions
were settled by the votes of the people.
Thus we gain a glimpse into the life and times of that community
in the wilderness, among whom our ancestor lived, and in whose
activities he participated. There is every reason to believe that
he was an intelligent, substantial, upright citizen, interested in
whatever pertained to the public welfare, respected by his neigh-
bors, and imbued with the lofty sentiments which were charactistice of
those early and sturdy:times in which his wife heartily shared, and in
which their children were trained.
HIS DESCENDANTS.
In the years succeeding, as colonies multiplied, those bearing the
common name were found in the various settlements of the State.
Later still, they scattered more widely, until now they are to be
found in almost every commonwealth of this great land and in the |
provinces to the north of us. How has it been with these descendants,
what sort of people have they been through the generations? This
is the question which concerns us at this time. What part have they
borne in the unfolding life of the nation, as its laws have been
framed, as States have been carved out of our wide domain, as the
institutions of education and religion have been planted, as move-
ments of thought and of progress in all lines have developed, as wars
have arisen to secure or to preserve our independence, or to maintain
the nation’s integrity and honor? Have they been worthy descend-
ants of those whose names they have borne, or have the ancestral
spirit and the ancestral traits been gradually fading out? What kind
of fruitage has our family tree, with its wide-spreading branches in
this land, been bearing through the years—a tree whose roots reach
far back into English history, even, to the Normans under William
the Conqueror, with various ranks and titles appended from
that time down?
These inquiries come close home to us all, and what more fitting
time in which to consider them,—for our instruction, our inspiration,
for our warning, perhaps,—then when we have assembled about the
family hearthstone from all over the continent, to gather up the
seattered threads of our history, to do honor to the memory of those
who have gone before us, and to strew flowers of tender and grateful
recognition upon the grave of him whose name we revere as the
common father of us all.
OCCUPATIONS AND TRAITS.
First, let us inquire into their occupations and the qualities they
have manifested in connection with them.
Among the earlier generations agricultural pursuits predominated.
At first and for a long time this was the common occupation of the
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. KOK KK
pioneers. There was little else, in fact, to be done for a livelihood.
The migratory spirit among them was not marked, at least for several
generations no one moved for permanent abode—so the records state—
more than twelve miles from the ancestral home. As years advanced
and the needs of the growing population developed, trade and business
of various kinds and manufactures were taken up, until at the present
time it is difficult to name an industry or profession in which some of
them are not engaged. There are builders and bankers, merchants
and mechanics, manufacturers of all sorts, wholesalers and retailers,
farmers, lumbermen, weavers, blacksmiths and druggists, teachers,
physicians, surgeons, clergymen, professors, lawyers, legislators, and
so on alinost ad infinitum. In the professions, physicians have been
most numerous, then clergymen, professors, teachers, with members
of the bar the fewest in number of them all. Why this latter should
be the case when so many of the more ambitious youth seem to
gravitate in that direction, is not altogether clear.
In all these callings, many have risen to positions of usefulness and
honor, a few perhaps to pre-eminence. Among the physicians, the
following are some of the conspicuous names. Representative men of
other callings will be referred to later.
Dr. Ebenezer Lee of Farmington (b. 1727) was in his day, a physi-
cian of large and successful practice. After the close of the Revolu-
tionary war, he and his family crossed over into Canada; undergoing
many severe hardships incident to settling in a new country. It is
noteworthy how many of his descendants have adopted the same
profession and have been respected far and wide.
Then there was Dr. Samuel Lee of Windham, (b. 1748,) a man of
attractive social qualities, skillful in his profession, and of very
extensive practice. He held a position as surgeon in the Revolutionary
army. One or two items of interest in regard to him will bear re-
producing. He was the originator of the ‘‘Genuine Lee’s Windham
Bilious Pills and Family Physic,” a remedy which is still somewhat in
use for bilious affections.
This was the first medicine of the kind patented in this country.
The patent was secured by his son, Dr. Samuel Lee, Jr., and was
signed ‘‘G. Washington.” Physically he was possessed of great
strength and agility. Among other feats it is related that he would
‘‘hop forty feet at three bounds, and throw a stone a good distance
with the precision of the ancient slingers. ”
Another was Dr. Thomas Lee, born in New Britain in 1808. He
was a man of unusual promise, but died at the early age of twenty-
eight. He was remarkably successful in the treatment of mental
disorders. In other respects he is spoken of as an ideal man, social,
cultured, and devoutly religious.
Dr. Charles Alfred Lee (born in Salisbury, Conn., in 1801, died at
Peekskill, N. Y., 1872) became widely known as a teacher and writer.
He held professorships at different times in a number of leading
medical institutions, and was the author and editor of several impor-
tant medical works. His son, Dr. Charles Alfred Lee, Jr., (b. 1829 )
served as a surgeon, mostly in hospital service, owing to ill health, in
x] LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
the Civil War. Afterward he moved to California, where he died at
Oakland in 1888, aged 59. He was never married.
Another, whose name should not be omitted is Dr. Mary Victoria
Lee, who was a graduate of Michigan University. After practicing
for awhile, she taught for a number of years in various institutions,
but latterly in the State Normal School at Oswego, N. Y., where she
died a few years since. She was highly respected and beloved, and is
spoken of as having been mentally very bright.
Among the Canadian Lees, Dr. William Hooker Lee and Dr. Hiram
Davis Lee might be mentioned, and indeed many others.
Among the members of the bar were Elisha Lee and Thomas Allen
of the last century, William P. Curtiss of Fulton, N. Y., of more recent
years, to say nothing of others of the present day.
But in the main the Lee descendants have devoted themselves
to business pursuits, adapting themselves readily to any branch
which they have taken up. Whether or not as manufacturers they
ever utilized wood in the production of such commodities as nutmeg,
hams, pumpkin seeds, and even of oats by sharpening the other end
of shoe pegs which had accumulated upon their hands,—a phase of.
manufacturing industry which has been popularly attributed to Con-
necticut—I have been unable to determine from the records.
With slight exceptions, they have been noted for their industrious
habits, for their careful attention to details, for their frugality, for
their patient perseverance, and for their general efficiency. With such
characteristics they have naturally achieved a fair measure of success.
While few, perhaps, have attained to such wealth as to be classed
among the millionaires, a goodly number have accumulated a liberal
competency, most have been ‘‘above board,” while but few could be
called ‘‘ poor relations.” Only a very limited number have been known
to seek a living by mere speculation or in any other discreditable way.
Such a thing as dishonesty or trickery has been exceedingly rare. They
have, as an almost universal rule, been straightforward, honest, and
honorable in their dealings. Among business men the name of Wm.
H. Lee should be mentioned as a prominent and successful dry goods
merchant, for forty years in New York city. He was present at the
Re-union in 1884, and presented a valuable paper upon ‘‘Our English
Origin.” It was through his generosity that the fine monument to
John Lee was erected in the Farmington cemetery. He died last year
at about 77 years of age.
But perhaps the most notable trait of all, and which has been
characteristic of the great majority of the Lees, has been their in-
domitable energy, their push and perseverance, their ability to bring
things to pass in spite of obstructing difficulties. This trait might be
illustrated almost indefinitely. Time will admit of only one instance.
It is related of a well-known druggist of our name, whose home was
on the western bank of the ‘‘ Father of Waters,” and who was widely
respected and loved for his genuine worth of character, that, being
always ina hurry, as the Lees generally seem to be, whenever he
started down street to go to his store, all that could be seen of him
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 18g6. xhi
was his coat-tails flying around the corner in a cloud of dust! In this
respect he might be said to be a typical Lee.
Il. CIVIL RELATIONS, EDUCATION, PATRIOTISM.
Notice next the Lee ancestry in respect to citizenship and its various
relations. In general they have been intelligent, law-abiding, and
ready always to bear their portion of the burdens of society, in which
they have usually occupied what might be termed the upper middle
stations, with exceptions both up and down. Though characteristically
unobtrusive they have nevertheless been a positive force in the com-
munities wherein they have resided, making their influence felt in
behalf of righteousness and the general welfare.
It is noticeable how frequently they have been selected for positions
of trust in civil life. The office of magistrate, for instance, was one of
great local significance in former New England times, and not
unfrequently some Lee would be summoned to it and be continued in
it for many years in succession. Often they have been called to legis-
lative responsibilities, Colonial or State. An aggregate of fifty-eight
years of such service by native Lees in Connecticut is certainly a
pretty fair record. Col. Isaac Lee, Jr., of New Britain was a member
of the Legislature for twenty-four years, Captain Samuel Lee of
Salisbury for eleven years, Captain Jared Lee of Southington, for
several terms, and many others for longer or shorter periods. Hon.
Win. Wallace Lee of Meriden, one of the most active promoters
of the Re-union of 1884, and of the present gathering, as well as
of all efforts to secure accurate genealogical records of the family,
has several times been chosen to the same position. Occasionally
one has been elected to Congress, and one, Judge William Strong
of Philadelphia, of the Tabitha branch, (John Lee’s youngest
daughter) was appointed Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme
Court. There have been several prominent characters of that name.
Then there were Judge William G. Sterling of Northampton who was
judge in New York city, andothers. All these men have filled various
positions with fidelity and honor.
Asa rule, however, they have never manifested any marked am-
bition for political distinetion. The pursuits of private and domestic
life have predominated with them. Whenever there has been public
preferment, the office has rather sought ¢hem, than they the office,
which is as it should be. So thatif they have failed of gaining specially
wide repute in the civil realm, it has not been from lack of fitness for
exalted station, but because, rather, of indifference to office for its
own sake, and of the absence of a spirit of aggressive self-assertion,
which now, at least, seems to be requisite in order to conspicuous
political success. Yet they have ever been good citizens, supporters
of good government, generally public spirited, while integrity,
reliabilty, and conscientious fidelity to trusts committed to them,
have been characteristic traits. Exceptional cases there doubtless
always have been among the thousands who have lived in this country
xh LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
since 1634, but a confirmed criminal or vagrant has been a rarity in
the family, and I have never heard of any member of our clan who
was hung, although some may have deserved hanging !
Among the more notable citizens of the years past, one or two
should receive special mention.
Jared Lee, grandson of John Lee, was born in Farmington in 1712.
Settling in Southington when a young man, he was for many years
a distinguished character. He held the office of Justice of the Peace,
or Magistrate, for over a quarter of a century, and was a terror to evil
doers. Although often arbitrary, his decisions were seldom reversed.
He seems to have been particularly jealous of all violations of the
rigid Sunday laws which then prevailed, and frequently parties were
fined for whispering and laughing in the public services, or for
neglecting to attend them. What preacher to-day would not rejoice
in similar laws and penalties enforced with similar fidelity ?
So many were the offices of honor and trust which he was called
upon to fill that the people named him ‘‘ all Southington.” For thirty
years he was deacon in the Congregational church It is said of him
that he was stern and unyielding in his orthodoxy, that he usually
carried his point, and that he was never known to acknowledge an-
error. He is also said to have been a very silent and avery homely
inan. He died in 1780, in his 69th year.
Col. Isaac Lee, Jr., of New Britain (1716—1802) was another
celebrity of his time. In many respects he was the counterpart of
Jared Lee, with whom he was contemporary. Like him, he was tall
and commanding, strong and muscular, proverbially dignified, and
honored in chureh and town. For thirty years he was the principal
Magistrate, and the office was adininistered with wisdom and impar-
tiality. For twenty-four years out of the thirty from 1761 to 1791, he
was member of the Colonial and General Assembly of the State, always
active and influential. During the Revolutionary period he held
relations of friendship and intimacy with the leading patriots. He was
a constant attendant upon the sanctuary, and was for many years
a faithful deacon. He died in 1802 in the eighty-seventh year of his
age. His funeral was attended by a large concourse of people.
EDUCATIONAL SPHERE.
As to education, the Lees have always been loyal to the early senti-
ments which would place the school as an institution next in im-
portance to the church. They have generally been fairly educated
themselves, and have always favored a generous provision for the
education of others. An illustration of this spirit, which I am sure is
not an isolated instance, may be in point here. In a country school
district in the West some years ago, there resided a Lee with a family
of five children. Desirous of giving them as good advantages as pos-
sible, and interested in the cause of education in general, he became
active in behalf of the school, and was soon the recognized leader in
this respect. Through his influence the very best available teachers
were secured for a number of years in succession, while the school
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. xhiit
itself was gradually equipped with helpful appliances, including a
large and carefully selected library, far beyond the average of country
schools. Soon it gained a reputation second to none in the county
or the counties around, while the good effects of the start which the
children and youth of the neighborhood then received have been
apparent ever since. Not a few were led to seek a college training
afterward, and the proportion of those who have made a mark in their
several spheres is larger than from any similar school I have ever
known. The eredit of all is mainly due to one who is well known
among the Lees for his active interest, with others, in pushing forward
this Re-union and the forth-coming genealogical work, and the mere
fact of a somewhat near relationship affords no sufficient reason, I am
sure, in this presence, for refraining from giving honor to whom honor
is due. I refer to my immediate progenitor Mr. Leonard Lee of
Kenosha, Wis. (I might say in this connection that I was privately
instructed by him to omit this section, but I became of age some years
since! )
Nor has the higher education been neglected. There have been
numerous graduates in the family from our best colleges and univer-
sities. It is difficult to secure reliable statistics, but there is reason to
believe that the percentage of liberally educated men and of those
filling high educational positions will compare favorably with most
families of corresponding numbers. These graduates have gone largely
into the various professions. Not afew have held chairs in the lead-
ing institutions, especially medical, and occasionally one has been
ealled to the position of college president. Rev. Wm. Allen Lee, a
graduate of Harvard of 1802, became President of Darthmouth Col-
lege in 1816 and of Bowdoin in 1819. While it might not be strictly
accurate to say that the Lees have generally been so given to literary
pursuits as to warrant us in claiming this as characteristic of them, it
is nevertheless true that some have been eminent as scholars, and a
considerable number of very creditable medical, theological and other
works have from time to time been produced by them. Occasionally
one has given special attention to music and to musical composition,
while the poetic instinct has not been entirely lacking. Upon the
whole, the educational record of the family and their part in the pro-
motion of this most important interest, have been greatly to their
credit.
PATRIOTISM.
Under this general head of citizenship it remains for me to say
something with regard to their patriotic spirit. There is no reason
to be ashamed of their record in this respect. They have ever been
ready to respond to the eall of their country, in its hour of néed.
There has not been a war since John Lee came to manhood in which
the Lees have not been represented, and many a battlefield has been
reddened by their blood. There were differences among some of them
in the Revolutionary period, a few remaining loyal to the mother
country, and a few were also found in the ranks of the Confederates
xliv LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
in the Civil War; but these were conscientious in their attitude, as
they viewed the struggle, and we honor them for their honesty of
purpose, while as soldiers all were full of bravery and daring. Indeed,
from their characteristic energy and push in other relations, the
courage and enthusiasm of the Lees in action can well be imagined.
In connection with the rocent war, it is related of a raw recruit, who
if he did not bear the name of Lee, might have done so, that in taking
part in the attempt to storm one of the Vicksburg batteries, the Con-
federate fire was so destructive that the Union forces recoiled ; but he
did not see the backward movement and kept going ahead until he
same up to one of the guns, caught a gunner by the collar, and
brought him within our lines saying, ‘‘ Boys, why didn’t you come on?
Every fellow might have got one. ”
In military as in civil life, their fitness for responsible position has
been repeatedly recognized, aud we frequently find the name in the
lists of officers from Captain upward to Colonel and General.
Gen. Kirby Smith on the Confederate side was a descendant of
the Connecticut Lees, his grandmother having been Chloe Lee, born
in New Britain. If we were considering the family in the broadest
sense instead of the John Lee branch alone, I suppose we might speak.
with no little confidence of the soldiers in the various wars from the
Virginia line of Lees, of whom Gen. Robert E. Lee was the most
distinguished.
Going back to the pre-Revolutionary period, Stephen Hart, father
of our inaternal ancestor, took part in the Pequot war of 1637, under
Captain John Mason. Daniel Lee of Farmington was a commissioned
officer in the French war, leaving Farmington, with his company,
July 12, 1759. He was wounded in battle at St. John’s by a toma-
hawk thrown at him, taken prisoner by the Indians, and tortured to
death in the most cruel manner. A fellow prisoner, who was in-
tended for the next victim, but who happily made his escape, was an
eye witness of the fearful scene, and brought tidings of his death to
his family at Goshen, Conn. The name of Captain Samuel Lee
appears frequently in the history of the town of Salisbury. He was
prominent in chureh and civil relations, and commanded a company
of Light Horse in the Revolutionary war.
Then there was Noah Lee, who served all through the Revolu-
tionary struggle, as a commissioned officer, raising and equipping a
company of Green Mountain boys at his own expense, acting fora time
in concert with Colonel Ethan Allen, a man of remarkable efficiency
as a soldier and a leader.
But as many of the records of military service are missing, it has
been impossible to collect a full list of those who have served in the
army from time to time. In some cases, family traditions are confirmed
by the possession of heir-looms, which have been preserved, such as
guns, pistols, or sabres; but, beyond these, there are no absolute
proofs. The following Roll of Honor, however, which is likely to be
increased, as further facts are discovered, will show beyond question
that there is abundant ground for claiming a marked patriotic spirit
as a characteristic family trait :

Not all of these are of the Lee name, but all are of the Lee blood.
Surgeons and chaplains are included. Certainly a creditable list.
In the latter part of the last century, Dr. Ebenezer Lee, a noted
physician and a native of Farmington, removed to Canada and
became a British subject. A large majority of his descendants are
now citizens of the United States, but those who are residents of the
Dominion are distinguished for loyalty to their adopted country, and
several of them are holding important positions of trust.
Ill. MORAL AND RELIGIOUS.
In inquiring, in the third and last place, into the moral and reli-
gious traits of the family, we come to that which is deepest and most
vital. That they have, generally speaking, been upright in character,
straightforward and honorable in their various relations, we have
already seen. Now we may advance a step and say that from the first
xlvi LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
they have been characterized by a deep conscientiousness, by rever-
ence for God, by love of justice, and by a strong sense of duty. Our
fathers were men of profound convictions, their religion was a thing
of principle, and they were intensely loyal to the truth as they saw it.
No doubt some of their views, judged by the more liberal sentiments
and standards which now prevail, were unduly narrow and severe, but
no great reform movement of lasting value has ever been free from
more or less of extremes, and when we recall their moral earnestness,
the great principles to which they were devoted, and the tremendous
results which, in spite of all their shortcomings, they were instrumen-
tal in achieving for all time, we can certainly afford to be very charit-
able in regard to things which were merely the incidents or excres-
cences of character.
Going back to our ancestor, John Lee, he was associated with good
men, and all the influences about him were of a nature to give a
serious and earnest trend to his thoughts. It is upon record that he
embraced the Christian religion, connected himself with the church of
which his father-in-law was one of the original and leading members
and a deacon, presented his children in baptism, and lived a consistent
Christian life. His children were trained in the same way, and the
records further show that for several generations, at least, in all
branches of the descendants, connection with the church was common,
that the observance of religious rites and duties prevailed among
them, and that they were respected and honored for their Christian
and manly virtues.
Their religious life has rather been deep and quiet than emotional
and demonstrative, while their’ religious activities, if not always of
the more conspicuous sort, have been none the less real. The same
practical bent of mind and matter-of-factness which have been noted
of them in other relations, have characterized them here. In some
branches or subdivisions of the family more or less of religious apathy
has prevailed, and in none, perhaps, has there been any excess of piety
or zeal; but while the Spiritual side of their nature might have been
toned up somewhat to advantage, which is by no means an exclusive
peculiarity of this family,—generally speaking the Lees have shown
a profound respect for things religious, and have been a church-going
and a church-supporting people. While they have been strong in their
prejudices, conservative in their tendencies, and firm in the main-
tenance of their opinions, they have at the same time been candid,
open-minded to the truth, progressive in spirit, with faces ever turned
toward the rising sun, and they have generally been found on the right
side in the great moral issues which have from time to time arisen.
DEACONS.
It is noteworthy how many have been chosen deacons and how long
they have been continued in office. Whether any of those qualities
which, in deacons, sometimes render a minister’s life miserable have
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. xlvil
been characteristic of them I am unable to say. Probably not, if the
ministers have always been in the right as the deacon regarded it!
Spurgeon says, that if any one resists the devil, he will flee from
him, while if a minister resists a deacon he will fly at him. This is
unquestionably true in the case of some deacons, and under such cir-
cumstances it is no doubt the part of wisdom for the minister to
subside at once. Just as it was with a certain traveler who met a pack-
mule in a narrow pass in the Rockies. He inquired of the attendant
frontiersman if the animal was vicious. ‘‘O no,” was the reply, ‘‘ he
ain’t vicious, but he’s a little versatile with his off hind leg.” And the
traveler climbed up the side of the canon. I do not know whether
any of the Lee deacons have been of this versatile sort or not, although
I can imagine that if one had a strong conviction upon any point it
might be exceedingly difficult to dislodge it. Still, upon the whole, I
aim inclined to think that they have made pretty good, serious minded,
consistent and conscientious deacons.
Among these numerous deacons of the past there have been some
notable instances of Christian zeal. One of these was Deacon Charles
Lee of Norwich, Conn. (b. 1790, d. 1865) to whose researches, together
with the indefatigable labors of his daughter after him, Miss Sarah
Marsh Lee who died in Feb. 1892, we are so largely indebted for the
first publication of our genealogical records. He was the founder of
the pleasant village of Willimantic, Conn., and the pioneer manu-
facturer in it. He led in all public improvements and was warinly
interested in all that pertained to the general good of society. Asa
business man, he was upright, methodical, clear-headed, and of excel-
lent judgment. After the work of the day in superintending his large
business, he was ready for every religious meeting, in which he always
took part. He was very active in organizing a Congregational church
in Willimantic, throwing all his energies into it. Soon a congregation
was gathered, a building was erected upon land which he donated and
for which he gave a generous subscription. Two years of labor and
self-sacrifice resulted in the establishment of a church of fifty mem-
bers, a flourishing Sunday school, and a large congregation, with
himself for the first deacon. Afterward he gave up his business there
and moved to Norwich, where he died. As a Christian, he was revered
and honored in all the churches with which he was at different times
connected.
CLERGYMEN.
Of clergymen there have been a goodly number in the family.
Some have risen to distinction as preachers or evangelists, some have
been authors, all have been faithful. Their preaching has been prac
tical, and they have been tactful in their dealings with men, whether
in public address or in personal relations, more so at least in the for-
mer, I suspect, than in the case of the young divine at the West in
addressing a congregation of cowboys, taking the parable of the
prodigal son for his theme. After presenting a graphic picture of the
wandering away, the return, the warm reception by the father, and
the killing of the fatted calf, he turned to one of the cowboys in front
xlvi LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
of him and said: ‘‘ What would you have done had you been in the
father’s place?” ‘‘Wa/al,” said he, deliberately, “I think I should
have shot the boy and raised the calf.” After such a rejoinder it was
useless to proceed. Iam safe in saying that no one of the name of
Lee would have been guilty of risking such an appeal before such an
audience.
One of the notable divines of our name was Rev. Jonathan Lee,
born in 1718 and graduating from Yale in 1742. In January, 1744, he
accepted a call to a small church made up of eighteen families in the
little New England town of Salisbury, Conn., at a salary of £40 per
annum, or about $200, which was never increased above $225. Here
he remained for forty-four years, viz.: until his death. He was a man
of sagacity, of intellectual power, and was famous for his knowledge
of Latin. He was of commanding presence and pleasing address, and
the church prospered under his care. In 1749 anew meeting house
was erected, and as showing the different sentiment which then pre-
vailed upon the temperance question, the town had previously voted
to procure sixteen gallons of rum, also eight bushels of wheat to be
made into cakes, for the raising. In 1766 he preached the election
sermon before the Governor and General Court of the colony. He
was married just before accepting his call, and in the American
Monthly Magazine for July, 1895, is to be found a copy of an address
which he prepared aud gave at his wedding. It is stately, very reli-
gious, and includes reflections upon the occasion, very gushing and
complimentary words to his wife-elect, rehearsing her virtues, an
address to her parents, also to her brothers and sisters, and closes with
appropriate exhortations.
The log house parsonage at Salisbury not being finished, for seve-
ral months they pioneered it, spending their honeymoon happily in
the back end of a blacksmith shop. Unable to keep a horse, he fre-
quently trudged down to the mill at Lime Rock with his bag of grain
on his back and drew his wood home ona hand sled. In bringing up
his family of six sons and four daughters, he gave every other son an
education and every other one a farm. To have accomplished all that
upon his meager salary, he must have been aman of unusual skill at
financiering. His descendants may be said to be noted for the number
among them who became clergymen, a considerable number of whom
were Episcopalians. He died in 1788 and was buried in the Salisbury
cemetery. His monument isa broad marble slab upon which is an
appropriate inscription, together with a representation of himself in
wig and gown in an old-fashioned pulpit, preaching to his people.
His life is preaching still.
Mention should be made of Rev. Chauncey Lee, his son, who
graduated from Yale in 1774, studied law for a time, then gave it up,
and, entering upon a religious life, studied theology. He settled at
Colebrook, was a ready writer, a sound reasoner, an earnest speaker,
a thorough scholar, dignified in his bearing, and eminent for his
social qualities. He was the author of a volume of * Revival Ser-
mons” and other works, including school books, and also a composer
of music.
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. xhix
Among many others who might be mentioned, did time permit,
was Rev. Samuel Lee, born in Kensington in 1803, about whom a
word should be said. He graduated at Yale in 1827, then studied
theology. He was noted for his power of easy and compact extempo-
raneous preaching. As a consequence his services were extensively
sought after in revival work. Perhaps no pastor in New England did
so much work of the sort, and this was in addition to the care of his
own large church and parish at New Ipswich, N. H. These labors were
often attended with marked success. It is said that forty persons
were once hopefully converted under a single sermon. Worn out
with his incessant labors, he finally retired from the active ministry,
and gave himself much to writing. For a time, he was a frequent
contributor to the periodical press and to religious quarterlies.
Later, he published two volumes, one upon ‘‘ Eschatology,” which
was afterward used as a text book in Yale College, the other upon
“The Bible Regained.” He died in 1881. His daughter, Sarah Fiske
Lee, who was an efficient aid to her father in his literary work as an
author, has also rendered invaluable service in connection with the
preparation of the genealogical work about to be issued, compiling
the John and Stephen branches. She has been enthusiastic and
persevering in her efforts.
MISSIONARIES.
A few have devoted themselves to missionary work and they should
receive recognition here, as still further exemplifying some of the
characteristic traits of the family. Julia Lee married Rev. Hubert P.
Herrick and went out to the Gaboon Mission in West Africa under the
American Board, which, by the way, was organized at Farmington in
1810, Rev. Graham Lee of Rock Island, Il., is now a missionary in
Corea. He was a graduate of the McCormick Theological Seminary,
(Pres. ) Chicago. Laura Elizabeth Lee, wife of Rev. John F. Smith,
D. D., went to Marsovan, Turkey, where she died during the seventies.
He died afew months since. At last accounts the family was still
there. Rey. Lucius O. Lee of Kenosha, Wis., oldest son of Leonard
Lee, after a successful pastorate of afew years at Owosso, Mich., ac-
cepted an appointment under the American Board to the Theological
Seminary at Marash, Turkey, of which he is now President, and where
he and his family and fellow laborers nobly stood at their posts through
the terrible ordeal of the recent massacre of Armenian Christians
there, by which nearly a thousand, perished, their own lives being
meanwhile in imminent peril.
RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS.
As to the denominational preferences of the family, the majority
have been Congregationalists, Episcopalians coming next. John Lee
was a Congregationalist, which was the prevailing denomination in
early New England, as it has been ever since. His descendants for a
number of generations were mainly of the same order. Later, as his
posterity increased, went out from the old home, spread over the land,
eae LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
came in contact with other religious bodies, or married into them,
they became connected with various denominations, so that now they
are to be found in all the leading Christian organizations of the
country. Hardly a sect, in fact, can be named in which some repre-
sentative may not be found.
SUMMARY.
Having now ealled attention to some of the leading traits of the
family, as they have been manifested in their occupations and various
relations and stations in life, and as they have appeared in the
sketches given of representative characters, let us attempt briefly to
summarize them. Some, of course, have manifested more of these
traits, some less, and they have appeared in greater or less degree in
different ones. Still they have been sufficiently general, I think, to
warrant us in speaking of them as family characteristics.
As a whole, they have been an eminently respectable people.
Hardy, wiry and enduring, many have lived to an advanced age,
some attaining even to ninety years and upwards. While not a few
have entered professional life, their chief occupation has been ~
business, in which they have been industrious, painstaking, and
generally successful. Especially have they been noted for their
managerial talent, and for their energy, push and perseverance. In
their dealings, they have been straightforward and honest.
As citizens, they have been peaceable, law-abiding, lovers and
promoters of good order, and interested in the general welfare.
Black sheep have been rare among them. They have been intel-
ligent, self-respecting, fairly educated, and not a few have sought the
advantages of college training in the best institutions. Though not
given to office-seeking, they have been frequently sought out for
positions of trust. In these positions, they have discharged their
responsibilities with conscientious fidelity, and have shown them-
selves to be possessed of large efficiency and executive ability. They
have been pre-eminently patriotic, responding promptly when their
country has called, and making a record for high soldierly qualities
on many a battlefield in the wars of our history. Politically, they
have mainly been identified with the Republican party.
Religiously they have been noted for the depth and strength of
their convictions, and for their persistency in them. With some
exceptions they have generally been church goers and a good propor-
tion have been church members. Although as a class they have not
been over-zealous, they have ever been lovers of justice and fair play,
and many of them individually have been exceptionally active and
earnest. Infidels have been few, and out-and-out opposers of religion
have been rare. Upon great moral questions they have usually given
forth no uncertain sound.
In domestic life they have been warm in their affections though not
unduly demonstrative, strong in their attachments to kindred and
friends, and devoted to their homes. They have also been social,
genial, and hospitable in their relations with others, and while far
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. hi
from stern and puritanic in their ideas, they have been less given to
frivolities than many. No doubt they have indulged more or less in
the bicyele craze with the rest of the world, but it would hardly seem
in keeping with the traditions and spirit of the family to find the
‘“new woman” of the more advanced type, who would, among other
things, abolish the usual distinctions of sex in costume, largely repre-
sented in the feminine portion of it.
In family life their quiver has been full to an unusual degree.
There were six children in the family of John Lee, while the aggregate
of children in the families of these six was forty-nine. The genealogi-
cal records show that the Seriptural injunction to ‘‘ be fruitful and
multiply and replenish the earth” has not been disregarded by sue-
ceeding generations.
In general it may be said that as a family they have dwelt upon a
high tabie land in character, in natural ability, and in commendable
qualities in many lines. If there have been few towering mountain
peaks, there have also been correspondingly few depressions and
valleys.
What shall we say in view of all this, what lessons may we draw,
what inspirations nay we gather ?
For one thing, it can hardly fail to lead us to a better understand-
ing of ourselves and the deep currents of our own being. Streams of
tendency have been flowing down through the generations, and these
at length, in greater or less degree and with more or less of modifi-
cation, have appeared in our nature. Such a review is calculated to
throw light upon them, to show where they have come from, and to
help to explain them. But such a study is important also because of
its relation to the most intelligent training of our children. The in-
fluence of ancestry upon the living is freely acknowleged by nearly all
great educators and religious teachers. The virtues and vices of those
who have lived in other days affect those who come after them. So
that the education of children may really be said to begin with their
forefathers.
Again, we will, Iam sure, henceforth be conscious of a new thrill
of interest in whatever pertains to the history of the family—a kind of
Gulf Stream to usin the great ocean of humanity about us; in the
forthcoming work of our genealogy, a subject which ought to have,
and doubtless will, a deeper significance than ever before; in future
re-unions, which should come oftener and be looked forward to with
something of the enthusiasm of the ancient Israelites as they made
their periodical pilgrimages to the Holy City; and in cultivating the
personal acquaintance of one and all who sustain to us these relations
of kinship, near or remote. For myself I can truthfully say that as I
have pursued these investigations, my respect for the family has
steadily increased. I have come to feel a real pride in its record, and
also to feel that the stock is a good one from which to be descended.
But, especially, should such a review as this be of value in the rich
li : LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
heritage it discloses—richer far than any imaginary English fortune
which is popularly supposed to be awaiting most American families
upon the presentation of adequate proof—to which we are heirs, if
we will but avail ourselves of it; in the mental and moral traits
which our ancestors possessed, the tendencies to which operate
deeply within our own natures; in the pure and lofty principles
which they espoused at the beginning, and to which their descendants
have with greater or less zeal been devoted; in the wholesome
example which has been set for our emulation, in the results which
they have achieved, the institutions which they have helped to
establish, and into the benefits of which we have entered; above all
in the high qualities of character which they have displayed, in their
indomitable energy, in their earnest spirit, in their consecration to
exalted ends, so that all along the pages of our history there are
glowing examples of exalted character and of lives well spent.
What shall we do with this heritage? Shall it be as nothing to us,
or shall we not, rather, lay hold of it and utilize it for highest ends,
going forward in life with a new and augmented self-respect in
consequence of it, quickened in all our noblest impulses and aims, and
then, recognizing our responsibility, hand it down unimpaired to ~
those who come after us? For my own part, in regard to this latter,
it is my deep desire that my little boy, with the blood of the Puritans
from his father’s side, and of the Pilgrims from his mother’s, flowing
in his veins, may, as he grows up, know these facts of his ancestry on
both sides, go forward under their inspiration, and be animated by
similar lofty aims in everything pertaining to a noble manhood and
a useful life.
It is said that the pious Swiss herdsman of the Alps, when the sun
is gone out of sight, takes his Alpine horn and shouts through it
aloud, ‘‘ Praise ye the Lord.” Then a brother herdsman on some
distant slope takes up the echo, ‘‘ Praise ye the Lord.” Soon another
answers still higher up in the mountains, till hill shouts to hill and
peak to peak, the sublime anthem of praise to God. So, let us, dear
kindred and friends, cherish and keep sacred the memory of our an-
cestors, consecrate ourselves to the same great principles and lofty
aims which inspired their lives, be filled with the same hopeful, praise-
ful spirit, and then seek to live such earnest, sweet and fruitful lives,
that those who succeed us may eatch our spirit, and others still catch
theirs in turn, this in ever renewed succession down the generations,
until a universal anthem shall ascend on high to join the Hallelujah
chorus of the redeemed in everlasting praises ‘‘to Him that sitteth
upon the throne, the chief among ten thousand and thousands of
5
thousands.’
This paper, though more lengthy than those preceding it, was
listened to with profound attention, and called forth many flatter-
ing comments at its close.
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. li
CLOSING SESSION.
From 12:30 to 1:30 another social hour was enjoyed, while all
partook of a generous collation.
On re-assembling in the hall, the exercises were opened by all
joining in Awd Lang Syne, which was rendered with a hearty
good will and which everyone appreciated.
Resolutions were then. offered by Prof. H. C. King, and
unanimously adopted with a cheer, expressing thanks to the
people of Farmington for the hearty proffer of the use of their
town hall, which made possible the holding of our re-union at the
ancestral home, and the kind greeting generally received.
Also thanking those who had prepared papers for the occasion,
and stating that the representatives of the Farmington Lees
present desired to particularly recognize the untiring and enthusi-
astic research among old records of William Wallace Lee,
Leonard Lee and Miss Sarah Fiske Lee.
William Wallace Lee now stepped to the front, holding in his
hand what proved to be the diploma of Seth Lee, granted by
Yale College, which had been in his possession several years. It
was written in Latin on parchment, with seal attached, and dated
September 22, 1759, signed by ‘‘ Thomas Clap, Prest.” and others
of the faculty.
Mr. Lee wanted to present it toa younger Lee as a hereditary
relic, to be perpetuated in the family, and had chosen Miss Ella
E. Lee as the recipient, she being the great grand-daughter of
Deacon Seth. Her heartfelt thanks were expressed in a few
well chosen words gracefully delivered. She had brought from
her home and exhibited several relics, but this she prized more
than all others. Among the relics exhibited was a gold ring, pre-
sented to the graduate by his class, when a tutor in the college in
later years. Other family relics were also exhibited more than
125 years old.
Amid all the sociability, the time arrived when separation
became necessary. The several sessions had not been a monot-
onous round of business and literary exercises, but frequent
intervals had been devoted to cultivating a better acquaintance
among the newly-found friends and kindred, which were well
improved. So full of enjoyment had the meeting been that it
was unanimously voted a success, and the feeling was freely
expressed that the century might be rounded out by another re-
liv LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
union, and that the proceedings of the meeting and papers read
might be published in appropriate form for circulation. One
more song, remained to be sung, and all joined in.
THE PARTING.
( Tune—BONNIE DOON. )
I.
Adieu, a heart-warm, fond adieu,
Ye kindred of one common tie,
Ye favored ones, ye happy few,
Who've met and shared our social joy;
The time has come for us to part
And each pursue a separate pa’.
With kindling eye and kindly heart
We'll think of each when far awa’.
2s
We've met and shared a happy hour,
In social joy, communion sweet;
Of common ties we know the power,
Have felt each heart responsive beat ;
And though we part to meet no more,
As here we are assembled a’,
We hope to meet on yon bright shore,
That shining shore so far awa’.
3.
May virtue, harmony and love
In each one’s life e’er brighter shine,
Beneath th’ all-seeing eye above—
The glorious architect divine ;
So may we keep the rule of right,
And, guided by God’s holy law,
Be led unto that world of light,
Where dwell our sires so far awa’.
4,
And may the new friends we have made
Grow fonder as the years shall roll,
And be through all life’s sun and shade,
A source of pleasure to each soul;
One fond request, we make it here,
Whenever ye shall gather a’,
A kindly thought, perhaps a tear,
For all the kindred far awa’.
ie Vile Le
The piece was sung with much feeling, the last echo died
away, and with much handshaking and many good wishes the
company slowly separated, and the Lee re-union of 1896 was an
event of the past.
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. lv
Mrs. William H. Lee of Hartford, who had been detained at
the hotel by indisposition, received a few friends after the
adjournment, and the last lingering visitor retired.
The following paper, prepared by Julius Gay, Esq., by invita-
tion, for reasons for which he was in no way responsible, was not
delivered at the re-union, but he has kindly furnished it for pub-
lication.
Mr. Gay is a native of Farmington, as were his ancestors for
several generations before him. No one is better acquainted with
the history of the town, either ancient or modern, than himself.
He is the acknowledged antiquarian of the county. He will
please accept thanks of the Lee kindred for his valuable contri-
bution.
Ladies and Gentlemen :—
A few days ago, I had the honor of an invitation to co-operate
with other townsmen in extending a word of welcome to your asso-
ciation, assembled from many lands to visit the home of your fore-
fathers. With the short time I have had for preparation, and in the
few minutes I shall venture to detain you, I shall confine myself to a
brief account of the location of the houses in which they were born,
spent their useful lives, and in the fullness of time were carried one
by one to the old cemetery which you have this day visited.
In January 1658, when this village had been settled thirteen years,
John Lee records four acres of land with a dwelling house. This he
_ had purchased of Joseph Kellogg, who bought it of John Andrews,
and he of Thomas Upson,— transactions which show a great activity in
real estate sales in those early times. Once, however, in the possession
of the Lees, it remained in the family for three generations. Doctor
Ebenezer Lee, grandson of John, sold it in 1767 to Seth Lee, succes-
sively a tutor in Yale College, a preacher and a tavern-keeper on the
old homestead. He sold it in 1796 to John and Chauncey Deming,
and then removed to Ludlow, Vermont. I presume you are all
aware that the brick school house building of Miss Porter occupies
the site of the house of John Lee and of the tavern of his great
grandson Seth. If you desire to identify any of the present buildings
as parts of the original tavern, you may compare the advertisement
of Seth Lee in the Connecticut Courant, which describes a ‘‘ house two
stories high, 46 feet by 20, and a kitchen, 28 by 30 feet.”
Thomas Lee, son of Thomas and grandson of John, was born
December 17, 1717, and lived in a house on the south side of the road
to Unionville, not far from the Catholic church, described as near the
North Meadow Gate. It was sold by Miles Lee on the decease of his
father in 1807. A tin shop stood on this land two years before. The
site is now occupied by a new house, recently purchased by John
D. Rourke.
Thomas Lee, son of Ensign Joseph, owned, and probably built,
lvi LEE FAMILY RE-UNION,
between the years 1791 and 1795, the house fifty rods south of the
meeting house, on the easterly side of the street, known to our
grandfathers as the Little Back Lane. It is now owned by John
Brady, and formerly by Selah Porter and his son, John C. Porter.
You will easily recognize it as a small gambrel roofed house, just
south of the large gambrel roofed house built by Timothy Pitkin,
Esq., and now owned by Dr. Carrington.
Matthew Lee, who taught the South District School in the winters
of 1797 and 1798, and died April 27, 1840, at the age of seventy-six,
owned a house on the west side of the Main street, somewhat south
of his school house, and, as the record says, one and one-quarter
miles south of the meeting house, having land of Joseph Langdon to
the north, and of Moses Hills to the south.
Capt. Hezekiah Lee lived in a house immediately north of that of
his grandfather, John. He sold it in 1751 to John Hart, Jr., before he
removed to Litchfield and Goshen.
The foregoing are all the localities which in a hurried search I have
been able to identify as of interest to you as the homes of your an-
cestors. Members of the family early in its history removed to Berlin,
Kensington, Litchfield, Goshen and all easily accessible towns. At
the close of the Revolutionary war the more noted exodus to Vermont,
and a little later, another to the far west, now central New York,
lured away pretty much all the rest of the family, until now I believe
there is no descendant of your family by the name of Lee in this
village.
I have spoken only of places. Of men, your frequent gatherings
and much research, must have made known about all that we can
expect ever to learn. Nevertheless when we see thousands every year,
guide books in hand, swarming over Europe to visit some noted shrine,
surely you may properly feel some interest in the places where your
ancestors lived and died. Nor among the localities deserving your
regard must we forget the place where, in three successive sanctuaries
they worshipped. In 1693 John Lee and Deacon Bull were appointed
a comnittee to repair the meeting-house, and in 1697 Thomas Lee with
four others were voted ‘‘liberty to build them a seat over the short
girt at the easterly end of the gallery on the conditions that they do
not damnify the other seats in the meeting-house.” And last of all
you will not fail to visit that most interesting place of all, the old
burying ground where many generations of your family were laid to
rest. Here more than two centuries ago was placed by the pious
regard of his children a humble slab marking the grave of your an-
cestor John Lee and inscribed 8. 8. 1690, fixing the date of his death as
October 8th, 1690, not August as it is sometimes read. It was the
fourth stone in age in the burying ground and much valued by all
who venerated the past. Would it not be a fitting act for this asso-
ciation to restore it toits former place the stone which for two centuries
marked the resting place of your venerable ancestor? *
*The old relic was carried to New Britain. In 1895 it was furnished with a sub-
stantial base by James T. Lee and Leonard Lee and restored to a place beside the
monument, after an absence of 18 years.—L. L.

FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. lvil
LETTERS FROM ABSENTEES.
We append a few extracts from letters received from various
parts of the country as specimens of several hundreds. Few
were the exceptions in which words of encouragement were not
expressed, and regrets that circumstances would prevent their
mingling with the kindred whom they had never met.
EumMuurst, I[ll., June 7, 1896.
My attendance will be impossible on account of age and infirmi-
ties. I hope there will bea large gathering on an occasion so inter-
esting to the widely scattered members of our family.
(84 years old. ) OLIVER H. LEE.
WATFORD, Ontario, July 3, 1896.
I regret that circumstances will not permit my attendance at the
Lee re-union at Farmington, but I heartily wish you a happy gather-
ing which may tend to a better acquaintance. THADDEUS D. LEE.
SPOKANE, Wash., June 14, 1896.
It will be impossible to attend, as it will be my busiest season of
the year, (mining engineer,) but success to your enterprise.
CHESTER F. LEE.
MARASH, TURKEY, (Asia,) June 26, 1896.
In response to your kind invitation to join the Lee family re-
union, and also to inquiries, I would say that I do not know whether
there are other Lees in the mission field or not. I fear the Lees have
not been so prolific in this line as in some others.
The object of missions is not only to educate and Christianize, but
to civilize, and requires some sacrifice to effect the result. Turkish
massacres may retard, but cannot long block the wheels of progress.
It may be thought the life of a missionary is monotonous, but
when I mention that during my residence here of sixteen years I have
been shipwrecked, earthquaked, massacred and married, you will
perceive that life in Turkey is not wanting in variety.
The distance between us will, of course, preclude the idea of
attending the Lee re-union, but you will please present to the kin-
dred my congratulations that they are so highly favored in their
social relations. Could the occasion have been deferred till 1898, I
might have been able to join you. My wife, daughter of Rev. Cyrus
Hamlin, thirty-five years a missionary in Constantinople, joins me in
kind wishes. Very sincerely yours,
(Rev.) Lucius O. LEE.
Rev. Mr. Lee and family were present at the Turkish mas-
sacre at Marash, November 19 and 20, 1895, and also at Con-
stantinople in August following.
POPLAR, O., June 10, 1896.
I am proud to know that an ancestral record has been kept, and
would like to be at the re-union but cannot.

Iam sorry to say that it will be impossible to be present at the

I am greatly interested in the re-union, and if business should take
me east of the Rocky Mountains, I will surely attend.

Descendant of Mary Lee Upson.
PITTSFIELD, Mass., May 25, 1896.
My plans for the summer have been already arranged and it seems
impracticable to change them. Be assured I shall be with you in
Spirit. (Miss) MARIA M. LEE.
Wyck, Iowa, July 1, 1896.
Nothing would please me more than to be present, but distance,
ill-health and home cares will prevent. (Rev. ) SAMUEL W. LEE.

My health will not permit. Be assured of my hearty sympathy.
(Mrs. ) SARAH Roots.

It would afford me great pleasure to attend the re-union, but the
probabilities are against me. A happy greeting to all who assemble.
O. O. POPPLETON.

It would be pleasant to attend the re-union, but the distance will
prevent. A joyful time to all is the wish of
(Mrs ) FLORENCE S. WELLS.
LEwis, Essex Co., N. Y., July 11, 1896
I am heartily in sympathy with the idea of a re-union, and it would
afford me the greatest pleasure of my life to attend and visit the home
of my grandfather, but I fear it will be impossible. A happy time
to all. (Miss) Syivia S. LEE.
Granddaughter of Deacon Seth Lee.
PORTERVILLE, Cal., June 10, 1896.
It will be very gratifying to hundreds of our kindred for many
years. The gathering of 84 was an enjoyable occasion, but infirmi-
ties and distance will not permit me to enjoy another such time.
(Mrs.) HIRAM BAILEY.
FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. lix
TacomMA, Wash., July 5, 1896.
It would be the enjoyable occasion of my life to attend the re-
union. but the distance is too great. I can never forget my visit to
the grave of John Lee, April last, escorted by yourself and Leonard
Lee. Many thanks for the courtesy. HERBERT M. LEE.
ALBANY, Texas, June 29, 1896.
Would be happy to attend, but health will not permit. A happy
time to all. LEwIs H. LEE.

Shall be happy to attend if possible, but the distance is great. A
happy re-union to all. (Rev. ) HAMILTON LEE.
CHIcAGo, Ill., June 29, 1896.
Would be very happy to meet you all again, but,—very busy—
dollars few—the miles are many and very long. A jolly time to the
crowds. CHARLES E. LEE.

I would be pleased to be present but fear it will be impossible.
May it be a happy re-union. (Mrs.) FANNIE LEE CABEEN.
McMINNVILLE, Ore., June 4, 1856.
It would afford me the greatest pleasure, but distance forbids.
(Mrs. ) JULIA JOHNSON
Port ROYAL, Ont., June 10, 1896,
I am 84 years old, and smart as can be expected at this age, but it
will be impracticable to attempt the journey. A happy success is
the wish of Yours truly, (Mrs. ) ADELIA BEAUPRE.
SPRINGFIELD, Ont., June 23, 1896.
I will encourage others to attend, but infirmities will prevent my
own attendance. SIMEON L. BRYNING.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 10, 1896.
It would give me the greatest pleasure of my life to be with you
but it will be impossible. WILLIAM P. LEE.
I remember with pleasure the gathering of 1884, but the burden of
86 years rests upon me and the journey is too much to attempt, but
God bless the re-union. WILLIAM LEE.
Marysville, O.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 17, 1896.
I regret that I cannot attend the Lee re-union on the 12th and
18th of August, for I would dearly love to visit the old family home.
Lama Canadian girl visiting friends in this city, and I would like to
know more of our American cousins, for I am deeply interested in
family history. Very sincerely, (Miss) PHEBE LEE.
OSHKOSH, Wis., July 20, 1896,
It would afford me great pleasure to attend the Lee family re-
union, but my health will not permit. Be assured, however, that I
shall be with you in spirit. (Mrs.) ANN C. BOWEN,

FARMINGTON, CONN., AUGUST, 1896. Ixv
CONCLUSION:
In concluding, we would say to our friends, that it is very
desirable to keep alive the Lee Association and to look forward
to a future re-union. The year 1900 has been suggested, that we
might round out the century by such an event. But the future is
uncertain. If the suggestion is carried out, it is evident that the
burdens of management must be borne by younger shoulders.
A large attendance cannot be expected from distant States,
but it is significant to note the feeling of kinship which is
expressed, and which needs only to be cultivated by personal
acquaintance to ripen into a general interest. Learn more of
your ancestors, of their doings, and of their loyalty to their
country, and you will feel more interested in their posterity. A
deeper interest is manifested every time they are brought together.
Our kindred are earnestly requested to correspond freely with
the secretary or assistant, and to communicate any changes,
births, marriages, or deaths, with dates, or any other events of
interest, that records may be kept with a view to future publica-
tion. Inquiries will also be cheerfully answered.
It will be borne in mind that there are still supposed to be
the descendants of many families who have not yet been discov-
ered. Among them may be named descendants of Jared Lee,
second, son of Amos of the Thomas branch, and a large number
of the David branch.
To those who are not familiar with the proceedings of the
gathering of 1884, and the family information published soon
after, we would state that the edition of the work is nearly
exhausted. A few copies only may be had by application to the
secretary.
Many letters of regret were received, expressing much interest
in the re-union and heartily wishing it a success, although the
writers were unable to be present from various causes. Some from
old age, others from ill health, business matters, expense, etc.
