  Notes	CENSUS YR: 1850 STATE or TERRITORY: GA COUNTY: Decatur DIVISION: District No. 22 REEL NO: 432-67 PAGE NO: 74A HN FN LAST NAME FIRST NAME AGE SEX RACE OCCUP. VAL. BIRTHPLACE 687 687 Lee E. 52 M Farmer 400 SC 687 687 Lee Hannah 50 F NC 687 687 Lee Stephen 19 M Laborer GA 687 687 Lee Elias 10 M GA Could this be the Elias Lee (born ca 1840) who married Dorcas Morgan? It appears that he would have been too young to marry in 1864. But could there be an error in the age on either the transcription or on the census itself? Jo Ann Lee Gartig said that Elias M.C. Lee's father was named Ebenezer. There was an Ebenzar Lee listed as a head of household on the 1840 Decatur County, Georgia census, enumerated immediately before Joshua T. Hawthorn. His household consisted of 1 male under 5, 1 male 10-15, one male 15-20, one male 20-30, and one male 30-40. There were also three females in the home, one between 15-20, the next between 20-30 and the final female household member between the ages of 30 and 40.
