The Descendants of William Henry Lee The Descendants of William Henry Lee Family of John Lee in Homer, Illinois --- as compiled by --- Dennis Kowallek 293 Cochran Rd. Hamilton, OH 45013 Dedication This book is dedicated to the memory of my late father-in-law, Clyde Lawrence Lee, whose great-great- grandfather's descendants are the subject of this book. When I first started researching the various branches of our family tree, I believed that my father-in-law's family, including the LEEs, would be the toughest nut to crack, if only because he was a quiet man and wouldn't talk much about them. But, in many ways, his ancestors turned out to be the most interesting branch of the family to research. -- Dennis M. Kowallek Produced by: Dennis M. Kowallek, 293 Cochran Rd., Hamilton, Ohio 45013, (513) 756-9937, [email protected], http://kowallekfamily.com/genealogy/bio-lee-william-henry.htm Preface The information contained in this book is provided "as is". It is the responsibility of those who use this information to verify its accuracy. Every attempt has been made to substantiate names, dates, places, and relationships, but more effort has been expended on direct-line ancestors and their immediate families, whose information you will find to be the most accurate. I have included the first four generations of descendants of William Henry LEE in this book. Information on remaining generations is available upon written request. The most current information is available at: http://kowallekfamily.com/genealogy/bio-lee-william-henry.htm Additions and/or corrections can be sent to: Dennis M.

Census Dates Because census dates are notoriously inaccurate, when citing a census as a source I have made the assumption that actual birthdates are within 1 year (+/-) of the date listed in the census. Approximate Dates My use of approximate dates ("before", "after", or "between") is inclusive. So, for example, when I say a marriage date is "before 1931", I mean "up to and including 1931". Locations All locations are assumed to be in the United States unless specified otherwise. Places of Residence Places of residence may be represented by a postal address and not a physical location. For example, a person may be listed as a resident of Homer, Champaign Co., Illinois (for mailing purposes) and actually be a physical resident of neighboring Vance Township, Vermilion Co., Illinois.

His place of birth is unknown … as many of the available census records contradict each other. The 1850 census, the only census taken during his lifetime which recorded place of birth, says he was born in South Carolina. Other secondary sources say he was born in Maryland, Tennessee, and Virginia. WHL can definitely be placed in Clinton County, Ohio on 5 Feb 1818, where he married Rebecca SEWELL. Rebecca was the daughter of John SEWELL and Priscilla HENDRICKS. We believe that William Henry LEE's mother was named Elizabeth. In 1818, when WHL married Rebecca SEWELL, consent was given by his step-father Richard CAST ... leading us to conclude that WHL's mother was alive and married to Richard CAST at the time. We also have deeds from before and after WHL's marriage (1815, 1823, and 1838) which list Richard's wife's name as Elizabeth. The only problem we have is that the 1830 Vernon Township, Clinton County, Ohio census does not list an older female in Richard's household. This set of facts supports two wives named Elizabeth, the first being WHL's mother (having died between 1823 and 1830). But this is in turn contradicted by the fact that no marriage record for a Richard CAST to the second Elizabeth (or anyone else) can be found in Clinton County or neighboring Warren County. So we are asked to either believe the census, or to believe the local marriage records. The second Elizabeth (b. 31 May 1772) died shortly after arriving in Vermilion County, Illinois on 15 Sep 1838 and is buried in McFarland Cemetery. If the 1830 census turns out to be wrong, this could end up being our WHL's mother. Her middle initial is given as 'C', which could be a clue to her maiden name. Other possible clues are the unusual middle names of several of WHL's grandchildren ... Ryland, Clarkson, and several Careys. Sources show that Richard CAST had an even earlier wife, possibly named Rebeckah, and had seven known children (born from about 1797 to 1815) ... some of whom could be half-siblings to our William Henry LEE. It has been rumored that this LEE family is related to that of Robert E. LEE, the famous Confederate general. Even more specifically, it has been stated that our WHL may have been a nephew of Robert E. LEE. However, Y-DNA tests on a direct male descendant of WHL prove that these LEE families are not related. In the 1820 census, William Henry LEE is enumerated in Vernon Township, Clinton County, Ohio. On 25 Oct 1827, WHL bought 107 acres from A. Fitzhugh & wife. William and Rebecca sold this land to Wm. Haines on 1 Oct 1829. This transaction was witnessed by James DALBY (Rebecca's brother-in- law) and David SEWELL (Rebecca's brother). The description of the property reads... "Beginning at the stake in the line of John (or Isham) Michel thence S8E78 poles to two red oaks Aaron ??????'s (possibly Carnahan's) line thence ??2W1?? poles to two ?????? elms and maple thence N47W150 poles to an elm red oak and maple thence thence N45E55 poles to four elms ?????? (maybe corner?) to John Sanderson thence east 103 poles to a forked white oak in the county roads thence N25E18 poles to a hickory inside Michel's line thence east 30 poles to the beginning containing one hundred and seven acres and one hundred and thirty four poles be the same more or less." This property appears to be in (or on the border of) Marion Township. Produced by: Dennis M. Kowallek, 293 Cochran Rd., Hamilton, Ohio 45013, (513) 756-9937, [email protected], http://kowallekfamily.com/genealogy/bio-lee-william-henry.htm Introduction Page 2 William Henry LEE and family moved to Vermilion County, Illinois in 1829, where he is enumerated in the 1830 census. He lived in Vance Township and owned property in Township 18 Section 2 and Township 19 Section 35. There were several William H. LEEs living in Vermilion County at this time, so care must be taken to keep them straight. To the best of the author's knowledge, our WHL is not related to the family of Vermilion County's Squire LEE. Our WHL is mentioned in the following quotation from Beckwith's History of Vermilion County, Illinois… "The Goshen Baptist Church was organized about 1832, and services were held in the Davis school- house and the Stearns school-house, at private houses, and wherever most convenient, until 1835, when a church edifice was built, as before stated, on the ground occupied by Samuel Beaver's house. Elder Freeman Smalley and Elder G. W. Riley, as in nearly all the other churches of this denomination in the county, were the leaders in this, and Benjamin Smalley preached here with more less regularity for some years. The building was frame, 30 X 40. Harvey and Luther Stearns, William Lee and James Elliott, were the leading men in this organization, and it was largely through their instrumentality that the church was built." Abigail LEE (said to be b. 2 Jan 1829, d. 3 Mar 1850, bur. Davis Cemetery) is often listed as a daughter of William Henry and Rebecca LEE. However, she is not on the list of known burials for Davis Cemetery. I suspect that she has been confused with her cousin, Abigail SMITH (dau. of James SMITH and Mary SEWELL). Abigail SMITH (b. 31 Jan 1829, d. 2 Mar 1850, bur. Davis Cemetery) was the first wife of Henry OAKWOOD. William Henry LEE died intestate on 14 Jan 1855 (Alvin STEARNS administered his estate). His wife Rebecca Sewell LEE died 18 Jun 1881. They are both buried at Davis Cemetery (near Fairmount, Illinois).

  • The Battle to Interpret Arlington House, 1921–1937,” by Michael B
    Welcome to a free reading from Washington History: Magazine of the Historical Society of Washington, D.C. As we chose this week’s reading, news stories continued to swirl about commemorative statues, plaques, street names, and institutional names that amplify white supremacy in America and in DC. We note, as the Historical Society fulfills its mission of offering thoughtful, researched context for today’s issues, that a key influence on the history of commemoration has come to the surface: the quiet, ladylike (in the anachronistic sense) role of promoters of the southern “Lost Cause” school of Civil War interpretation. Historian Michael Chornesky details how federal officials fended off southern supremacists (posing as preservationists) on how to interpret Arlington House, home of George Washington’s adopted family and eventually of Confederate commander Robert E. Lee. “Confederate Island upon the Union’s ‘Most Hallowed Ground’: The Battle to Interpret Arlington House, 1921–1937,” by Michael B.

    COLUMBIA LAW REVIEW VOL. 99 DECEMBER 1999 NO. 8 GLOBALISM AND THE CONSTITUTION: TREATIES, NON-SELF-EXECUTION, AND THE ORIGINAL UNDERSTANDING John C. Yoo* As the globalization of society and the economy accelerates, treaties will come to assume a significant role in the regulation of domestic affairs. This Article considers whether the Constitution, as originally understood, permits treaties to directly regulate the conduct of private parties without legislative implementation. It examines the relationship between the treaty power and the legislative power during the colonial, revolutionary, Framing, and early nationalperiods to reconstruct the Framers' understandings. It concludes that the Framers believed that treaties could not exercise domestic legislative power without the consent of Congress, because of the Constitution'screation of a nationallegislature that could independently execute treaty obligations. The Framers also anticipatedthat Congress's control over treaty implementa- tion through legislation would constitute an importantcheck on the executive branch'spower in foreign affairs.

  • Who Was George Washington?
    Book Notes: Reading in the Time of Coronavirus By Jefferson Scholar-in-Residence Dr. Andrew Roth Who was George Washington? ** What could be controversial about George Washington? Well, you might be surprised. The recently issued 1776 Project Report [1] describes him as a peerless hero of American freedom while the San Francisco Board of Education just erased his name from school buildings because he was a slave owner and had, shall we say, a troubled relationship with native Americans. [2] Which view is true? The 1776 Project’s view, which The Heritage Foundation called “a celebration of America,” [3] or the San Francisco Board of Education’s? [4] This is only the most recent skirmish in “the history wars,” which, whether from the political right’s attempt to whitewash American history as an ever more glorious ascent or the “woke” left’s attempt to reveal every blemish, every wrong ever done in America’s name, are a political struggle for control of America’s past in order to control its future. Both competing politically correct “isms” fail to see the American story’s rich weave of human aspiration as imperfect people seek to create a more perfect union. To say they never stumble, to say they never fall short of their ideals is one sort of lie; to say they are mere hypocrites who frequently betray the very ideals they preach is another sort of lie. In reality, Americans are both – they are idealists who seek to bring forth upon this continent, in Lincoln’s phrase, “government of the people, by the people, for the people” while on many occasions tripping over themselves and falling short.

  • Mrs. General Lee's Attempts to Regain Her Possessions After the Cnil War
    MRS. GENERAL LEE'S ATTEMPTS TO REGAIN HER POSSESSIONS AFTER THE CNIL WAR By RUTH PRESTON ROSE When Mary Custis Lee, the wife of Robert E. Lee, left Arlington House in May of 1861, she removed only a few of her more valuable possessions, not knowing that she would never return to live in the house which had been home to her since her birth in 1808. The Federal Army moved onto Mrs. Lee's Arling­ ton estate on May 25, 1861. The house was used as army headquarters during part of the war and the grounds immediately around the house became a nation­ al cemetery in 1864. Because of strong anti-confederate sentiment after the war, there was no possibility of Mrs. Lee's regaining possession of her home. Restora­ tion of the furnishings of the house was complicated by the fact that some articles had been sent to the Patent Office where they were placed on display. Mary Anna Randolph Custis was the only surviving child of George Washing­ ton Parke Custis and Mary Lee Fitzhugh. Her father was the grandson of Martha Custis Washington and had been adopted by George Washington when his father, John Custis, died during the Revolutionary War. The child was brought up during the glorious days of the new republic, living with his adopted father in New York and Philadelphia during the first President's years in office and remaining with the Washingtons during their last years at Mount Vernon. In 1802, after the death of Martha Washington, young Custis started building Arlington House on a hill overlooking the new city of Washington.
