John married Mary Emily Sumrall on 16 Dec 1880 in Mississippi. Mary was born on 16 Feb 1860 in McDonald Mills, Perry County, Mississippi; died on 31 Oct 1947 in Gulfport, Harrison County, Mississippi. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Henry "Pete" Lee shows her as the daughter of Isaac Sumrall and Emily Rush.

Notes:

Merritt Mullen shows him as the son of Elijah LEE and Rachel RODGERS.

Henry Lee of McComb, Mississippi shows the Covington County Newspaper dated May 21, 1909 reported "Henry E. Lee, CSA died yesterday...Born at Green Creek, Perry County...." He further notes that the Leaf River Masonic Lodge 1852 recorded his date of death as May 17, 1909.

Henry also writes that Henry Elijah Lee was married twice, and was elected circuit clerk and probate clerk of Perry County, MS and was reported on the census in that county in 1860 and 1870. He was also a Judge. During the Civil War, he ordered men to go into Jones County, a few miles east, and bring back deserters.

Henry married Nancy Mary McLemore on 10 Aug 1851. Nancy (daughter of Josiah McLemore and Sarah Jane Fairchild) was born on 1 Nov 1830 in Jones County, Mississippi; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Some researchers show her date of death as early as 1873. Henry Lee of McComb, Mississippi instead lists it as May 21, 1909, with her burial in the Green Creek Cemetery in Perry County, Mississippi. As this is the date that her husband's death was reported in a Covington County newspaper, he might be confusing the two.

It appears that Lafayette and John LEE are stepsons of Josiah, born to his second wife.

Josiah married Sarah Jane Fairchild about 1822 in Mississippi. Sarah was born about 1804 in South Carolina; died after 1870 in Mississippi. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Merritt Mullen shows her as the daughter of Robert FAIRCHILD and Nancy TAYLOR. He also notes that she may have been born in Georgia instead of South Carolina.

Notes:

Married:
Merritt Mullen instead shows their marriage as occuring ca 1825.
