PREFACE The compilation of this genealogy extends over a period of some five or six years; it was started when the compiler was working on two other genealogies, and due to the interest shown by members of the family and the many unusual and interesting persons that were found to be descended from THOMAS LEE of CHARLESTON, the compiler set aside the other genealogies and devoted his time to this one. The Lee family of Charleston and South Carolina have played an in teresting part in the development of the South from South Carolina to Texas. They have participated voluntarily and in a responsible way in every war, beginning with the Revolution, in 1775. We find among the Lees: Military Men, Educators, Engineers, Merchants, Planters, Doctors of Medicine and The ology. In each field some of the Lee family stood out notice ably. Many members of the family have been very helpful in sup plying Bible records, copies of old letters, tradition, and even doing research in Record Offices and Libraries in their towns. The records made by Mrs. Georgia Kyser Youngblood, of Carlowville, Minter, Alabama, over a period of many years were made available to the compiler by Mrs. Edgar Wilson Greene. She had gathered data on the Lee, Lockwood, and Alison families up to the time of her death. Due to the numerous descendants of the Carlowville, Ala bama, branch of the family that in recent years have been born in the Hospital in Selma, Alabama, the compiler has used the term, born in Carlowville, to better identify those families that were still living there. Miss Flora B. Surles of Charleston who has made a study of the Lockwood family, very kindly made her records available and thereby prevented a serious error in the genealogy. Mrs. Granville T. Prior, Secretary of The South Carolina Historical Magazine has been of great help. Without the fine records preserved by the South Carolina Historical Society such a pub lication as this would have been impossible. [vii] Mrs. Howard F. Noble was most generous in giving copies of old letters, deeds, pictures, and colorful information. Her letters to the compiler were an inspiration and source of en couragement. Much is missing in this work due to the wanton destruction and burning of old records by Sherman's Troops in his march to the sea during the War Between The States. So many members of the family and others interested in the preservation of historical data helped, that it is impossible to thank all, individually, but thanks are hereby extended. The detail and extent of information as compiled very well show where others have helped most. Undoubtedly there will by be errors in this compilation; many of these will be due to the inability of the compiler and his help ers to decipher the hand writing of some of those who sent in data. Where possible, typed sheets were sent to informants for checking but in some instances these were not returned. There are many hundreds of Lee descendants whom it has been impossible for the compiler to locate. One branch of the family was located in Baltimore, Maryland, when an advertise ment was run in a Baltimore paper, but this method did not always bring a response. The compiler has felt a deep responsibility to make this work as complete as possible, however he feels that the work should be published and that further delay may, due to some unexpected occurance, be a cause of this never being done. Just recently on a research trip the compiler found many descendants who had not submitted data on their line. Many of these are now included. The body of the work is taken from Court House Records, Historical Society Records, Bible Records, City Directories, Church Records, Grave stones, Town Histories, etc., and where possible data that was sent in by others was checked and re checked. The work begins with Thomas Lee and is then divided into three sections that cover the three major branches of the family -the descendants of Mary Lee and Joseph Lee; the descend ants of Col. William Lee; and the third section-the descendants of Stephen Lee. Inter-marriage among all branches of the family was prevalent up to and during the nineteenth century, thus [viii] the use of all wives' maiden names in this work thereby en abling one to easily distinguish between a Lee marrying a Lee, Lockwood, or Alison, or one of another family. Tradition that seemingly has some foundation, has it that there were three Lee brothers who came to America, one to the South, one to Virginia, and one to Canada; mention will be found of this in the Autobiography of the Rev. William States Lee which is included in this work. On the following pages will be found a letter from Hilliard Cameron Lee of Baltimore, Maryland, to William Franklin Lee of Pensacola, Florida. This letter was in the data compiled by Mrs. Georgia Kyser Young blood; it follows so closely the data gathered and given herein by the writer that it is included. It is hoped that this work will create a consciousness of honorable forbears, worthy of respect and admiration by future generations.
[ix] FORM, ABBREVIATIONS, SYMBOLS The compiler has attempted to devise a simple form of work, thoroughly indexed, that will, at a glance, give the names, dates of birth, death, marriage, children and, where available, bio graphical sketches. When the spouse's mother's maiden name is known, it is given as such to identify the unions of different families. The biographical sketches follow the genealogical data to avoid cluttering the genealogical data with unrelated material. The generations run from the first generation "Thomas Lee of Charleston," through the eighth and ninth generations.
EXPLANATION OF CAPTIONS AND TEXT FIFTH GENERATION denotes children of a fourth genera tion parent. CHILDREN OF JACOB SMISER AND MARGARET (YOUNGBLOOD) ALISON. This caption indicates that the male parent is the descendant by his name being in Italics, and that his wife's maiden name was (YOUNGBLOOD). Margaret Regina Lee (Lockwood) Alison, Mary (Lee) Lock wood, Thomas Lee. This caption indicates the direct line of descent of Jacob Smiser Alison and his children. It should be read as follows ( 3rd Generation) Margaret Regina Lee (Lock wood) Alison; (2nd generation) Mary (Lee) Lockwood; (1st generation) Thomas Lee. Names that are in parenthesis in dicate a maiden name. Children are numbered to indicate their order of birth. The numerals that are in parenthesis indicate that the child is car ried forward to the next generation. Names that are in Italics indicate direct descent. Abbreviations: b-born. bapt.-baptized. m.-married. d.-died.

The records published in the Journal of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, Volume Number (November 1948) 16-17; Volume XVII (November 1949) 27-33; and Volume Number ( August 1958) 30-31, give the Marriages, Baptisms, Census Records of 1679, Will and Burial Notice of Francis Lee. Approximately seventy-five years ago W. A. Lee, Stephen Dill Lee, Alexander Y. Lee, and Fitzhugh compiled a Geneal ogy of the Lee South Carolina Branches in Family Tree Form. This family tree was more than reasonably complete, con sidering when it was compiled and the movement of persons after the period of the War between the States. The lack of sufficient dates and other data is to be expected in family trees of this type, there being insufficient room to include much desirable data. This compiler has found some of the Lees who did not reply to the compilers of the family tree; however he has been unable to find any trace of some branches that are shown on the family tree. Without this record the compilation of the present work would have been well nigh an impossible task. Considerable time was spent by the compiler in authenticat ing the connection of Francis Lee of Barbados and Robert Lee, Lord Mayor of London, 1602. The compiler is now of the opinion that the assertion on the "Family Tree" is correct. Mr. J. Hemy Lea, Esq., Cedarhurst, Fairhaven, Mass., made an intensive study of the Lee family of Virginia. In the New England Historical and Genealogical Register 44 (January 1890) 103-111, he gave his opinion of the ancestry of this branch of the family. In the same publication 46 (January 1892) 64-78, and 161-166, Mr. Lea offered convincing proof of his former assertions, viz: That Col. Richard Lee ( the acknowledged ancestor of the Lees of Virginia) was actually a Cadet of the ancient family of Langley, County Shropshire, of Salop. [xiii] Mr. Lea mentioned on Page 162 of Volume 46, Sir John Lee, Knt., who was the third son of Sir Robert Lee, Knt., Mayor of London 1602/3, both of whom were knighted for their public service. Mr. Lea states (Ibid.; 46-162) that "it is noteworthy that Sir John Lee, Knt., of Stepney, was grandson of Humphrey Lee of Bridgenorth in Salop, another of the names identified with the Lees of Langley although the arms of this family are totally different from the latter." He gave the arms granted Dec. 20, 1593, to Lee of London and of Billesley, Co. Warwick, as:-Arg. a fesse Sa, in chief two pellets in base two martlets of the second. Crest:-a Talbot's head arg., collared Az., to the collar a ring and line of the last.-Edmondson's Heraldy, London, 1780. The statements made by Mr. Lea in his article connect the Lee families of Virginia and South Carolina through the ancient family of Lee and Langley in Salop. The following extract of a letter came to the compiler in a roundabout way, it was first written by Mr. Hilliard Cameron Lee to his cousin William Franklin Lee, copied by William Franklin Lee and sent to his cousin Emily in Carlowville, Minter Alabama. The copy as given here was made by Beek man Lee Youngblood of Carlowville and was among the papers in the manuscript of Mrs. Georgie Kyser Youngblood.
EXTRACTS FROM A LETTER OF HILLIARD CAMERON LEE OF BAL TIM ORE, MD., TO WILLIAM FRANKLIN LEE OF PENSACOLA, FLORIDA, DATED APRIL .3RD, 1922 I will say, however, that there is not the least doubt that Francis of Barbados was descended from Sir Robert Lee of Belsley to whom Armorial bearings were granted on Dec. 20th, 1593 ( see Enclyclopedia of Heraldry by J & J. B. Burke). Harry Lee, one of the Captains on the City of London must have been a son of Sir Robert, to whom the Arms were granted; Sir Robert was the son of Humphrey Lee of Bridge north and had, I think, four sons. I have not my notes of this at hand, but the information was given me by Mr. Lee of Boston, who is or was a distinguished Genealogist and wrote [xiv] the article on the Lees of Virginia, in the New England Histori cal and Genealogical Register of January 1892. In the course of his investigation he came across data con cerning our family and kindly let me have it. The Seal of Francis Lee has on one side a device surmounted by a five point coronet, on another, his name and on a third, the arms of Sir Robert, differenced by the addition of one pellet in chief, thus showing that he came of the younger branch. This establishes beyond doubt to which Lee family he be longed. There are many interesting facts about Sir Robert in C. M. Cledes' History on Merchant Tailors to which I was referred by Bluett Lee, Son of General Stephen D. Lee. Sir Robert was one of the founders of the East India Com pany and a man of means. He was the Lord Mayor of London at the time of the death of Queen Elizabeth. I send the following quotations: "By the address of Cecil, the accession of the Scottish King was proclaimed before the death of the late Queen had become publicly known." At his invitation thirty-five individuals, Councillors, Prelates, Peers and officers of State met him at Whitehall and the name of the
Lord Mayor ( Sir Robert Lee ,:i, H. C. L.) at the head, sub scribed a declaration that James of Scotland was the lawful and undoubted heir to the English Crown. Not a moment was lost, the whole body assembled in front of the Palace and proceeded thence to the cross in Cheapside; at both places the King of Scots was proclaimed by the voice of Cecil himself and the citizens by their acclamation and bonfires and the ringing of bells, testified their satisfaction at the accession." ( From Lingards History of England, Volume VII, page three.) Elizabeth died at Richmond early in the morning of the 24th of March, 1603, and Lee was summoned to Whitehall with the members of the Privy Council, to determine the right of succession and the result of the meeting, to subscribe a declara tion ( to which the names of others were) that James of Scot land waJ the lawful heir to the English Crown. In the short interval of only four days, on the 28th, a letter was addressed from Hollyreed House by the King to Sir [xv] Robert and his brethren, the aldermen, thanking them for their great forwardness in proclaiming him king and wherein ( his letter continued) you have given singular proof of your ancient fidelity a reputation hereditary to that, our City of London, being the chamber of our Imperial Crown. (From C. N. Clede, referred to above.) Sir Robert Lee, Lord Mayor of Belsley, J & J. B. Burke. His son, Sir Robert Lee for seventeen years High Sheriff of Warwickshire, occupied Belsley Hall and was succeeded by his son, Sir Richard who was succeeded by Sir Charles, when it passed out of the family. (Dugdale Antiquities of Warwick shire.)
In gathering material on Sir Robert Lee the compiler was introduced to G. E. Cokayne's compilation, Some account of the Lord Mayors and Sheriffs of the City of London during the first quarter of the seventeenth century, 1601 to 1625 (London, 1897), pp. 12-14. It appeared of sufficient importance to be reproduced here.
SIR ROBERT LEE, Merchant Tailor, was b. probably about 1550, at Bridgnorth, Salop, being son of HUMPHREY LEE, of that town, and brother of EnwARD LEE ( who was living there 1602 with issue) and of RowLAND LEE (bur. 3 Feb. 1603/4, at St Olave's Jewry, London), Citizen and Ironmonger of London. He was A. of Dowgate, (a) 18 Dec. 1593; of Cordwainer, 31 July 1599; and of Langboume, 20 April 1602, till his death, 22 Dec. 1605. He was S. 1594-95, and M. 1602-03. During his Mayoralty occurred the death of Queen Elizabeth, 24 March 1602/3, on which day he accordingly proclaimed the new
(a) He is "described in the M.S. index to the records at the Guildhall" as Alderman "of Walbrook," but it is by a "lapsus penna," & should be "of Dowgate". [Ex inform. A. B. Beaven, who gives the dates of the aldermanic successions to both wards at this period, viz., William Elkyn, A. of Dowgate, d. 31 Oct., 1593, in whose room Lancelot Bathurst was elected, 27 Nov. and discharged 11 Dec., 1593, the said Robert Lee being elected on the 18th in his room, while Robert Brooke was elected A. of W albrook, 9 May, 1592, being discharged 9 Aug., 1599, when Paul Bayning was transferred thither from Farringdon without. There is no escape apparently from these dates, yet Overall (Remembrancia, p. 3) makes Robert Lee, A. of Walbrook, making no mention of Dowgate.] [xvi] Sovereign, being thanked, by Royal letters 28 March 1603, for the same. In the royal progress from Scotland to London, the King was met, 7 May 1603, on the confines of Middlesex and Essex ( near Waltham), by Sheriff Swinnerton ( Sheriff Pem berton being absent from ill-health), and at Stamford Hill by Lord Mayor Lee, by whom he was accompanied to the Charter House, where he stayed till the lit\ when he removed to the Tower of London. Eleven days later the Lord Mayor was Knighted, 22 May 1603, at Greenwich, and, on 25 July, with the Aldermen and 12 of the principal citizens, attended the Coronation, altho' the Royal party did not, as was then cus tomary, ride from the Tower of London to Westminster thro' the city, owing to the plague that was then prevalent therein. (a) He was a member of the Levant Company. He m., firstly, about 1570, Joanna, ( b) sister of Nicholas SUTTON and da. of Henry SUTTON, of London, Goldsmith. She was probably bur. at St Leonard's, Shoreditch ( about 1590?), where was bur., 10 Sep. 1593, "Dorothy, da. of Robert Lee, Merchant Tailor". He m., secondly, Mary, widow of William SMITH, Mercer (who d. 24 Dec., 1594), da. of Sir James HAWES, M. 1574-75. He d. 22 Dec. 1605, & was bur. 16 JanY 1605/6. ( c) Funeral certif.

(a) The advent of tl,e plague had been proclaimed on the 6th of that month (July, 1603,) and a fast was ordained on 6 Aug. following. There were 1103 deaths in London, of which 857 were attributed to the plague in this July. In the years 1603-4, as many as 30,578 died thereof in London and the suburbs, no such devastation having occured therein since 1551. The next occurrence thereof was in 1625, and again ( for the last time) in 1665. ( b) Her mother was living, as a widow, April, 1602.

Harvey (see p. l, note "b") who has an entire copy of the same. He states that there is not ( and appears never to have been) a monument there to any of the Lee family, notwithstanding that the Lord Mayor in his will expressly directs one to be so erected to himself and his two wives. The Editor is also indebted to the same gentleman for valuable and original information as to very many of the families of the Lord Mayors and Sheriffs in this series. [xvii] ARMS.

(b) She was bur. 24 April, 1651, at St. Andrew's Undershaft. ( c) He is styled "Knight" in the marriage ( at that date) of his da., Anna Maria, in the registers of St. Peter le Poor. He, possibly, was the Robert Lee who ( with a Thomas Lee) was knighted at Windsor in Aug., 1608 ( this date, however, would make him a knight before his elder brother), but, more prob ably, he was the Robert Leigh (who with John Leigh) was knighted at Theobalds, 22 Jan., 1615/6. ( d) She d. at St. Martin's in the Fields, and was bur. 2 Dec., 1676, at St. Andrew's Undershaft. (a) He is called Sir John Lee [Query if not in error?] in the Visit of War wickshire in 1683, where, however, neither his marriage nor any other particu lars are given of him. He may, however (if indeed he was knighted), be the John Leigh who, with [Query his brother?] Robert Leigh, was knighted at Theobalds 22 Jan., 1615/6. (See note (i) above.) Joan, widow of Henry LoTT, of Stepney, merchant, had lie. (Bp. of London) 5 Nov., 1633, to marry Srn JoHN LEE, of the same, aged 45, and a widower. On the other hand, at St. Dionis Backchurch ( where his marriage took place, and where his wife was born and her parents buried), "JoHN LEE, Cutler," is buried 10 March, 1619/20; and there is an Inq. post mortem on the said John (7 Car.), showing that he had lands at Woking, co. Surrey, and that JOHN LEE was his son and heir, being aged 8 years, 11 months and 12 days at the death of his father on 2 March, 1619/20-a likely age for the John Lee whom we know to be living in 1613 as eldest son of John Lee and Sarah, his wife, who were m. in 1607.

BP of London), the Hon. Thomas CECIL ( hap. 1 JanY 1578), 5th son of Thomas, pt EARL OF EXETER. They were both living, with issue, in 1619. ( b). He was bur. 3 Dec. 1660, at St Martin's, Stamford.
The following data obtained from: The Journal of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, XVII (November 1949), 27-33. (November 1948), (August 1958), was found while the compiler was doing research in the fine Genealogical Section of the New York City Public Library. This journal gave, "Extracts of Barbados Records of Wills of Lee or Lea." It gave a portion of the will of "Francis Lee of St. Michaels Parish, gentleman." In this account of his will Dated 9 September 1727, he left his entire estate both real and personal to his wife. Under Burials to 1750 was the following entry: "St. Michael's, Francis Lee, Attorney at Law, 1727 September 12." Under Marriages to 1750, the following account was given: Francis Lee to Mary Burnell, St. Michael's, December 23, 1707; Thomas Lee to Mary Giles, spinster, St. Michael's, April 1,
( b) Baptisms of their children 1609 to 1619/20 were at St. Andrew's, Under shaft. [xx] 1733. Following the entry on the marriage of ThomG,S Lee to Mary Giles the comment is made that "Thomas Lee is said to have settled in Charleston, South Carolina in 1734, and to have been the progenitor of the numerous Lee descendants in America." Under Census Records 1679 was found the following: "Francis Lee, living in St. Michael, Barbados, with household: 1 man 30 years; 1 woman 26 years; 3 boys, ( 15 yrs., 3 yrs., and 18 months); 2 girls, ( 16 yrs., 14 yrs.)" Under Lee Baptisms to 1750 was found the following: St. Michael, Thomas, son of Francis and Mary Lee, born, Feb. 6, 1711, baptized Nov. 9, 1712; Frances, child of Francis and Mary Lee, born, Nov. 5, 1712, baptized, Nov. 9, 1712; Joseph, son of Francis and Mary Lee, baptized Jan. 6, 1714; William Henry, child of Francis Lee, baptized, Oct. 29, 1719; Frances, child of Francis Lee, baptized, Oct. 29, 1719. The entries in this journal verified and authenticated the entry on the "Family Tree" of the Barbados background of the family.
While doing research in The South Carolina Historical So ciety in Charleston, the compiler found the following poem in their Magazine in Volume XLVI No. 2 (April 1945), 103. The poem is in the William L. Clements Library, at The University of Michigan Ann Arbor and is reproduced here. It is a Revolutionary War Rhyme sent to Headquarters of Gen'l. Nathaniel Greene and probably intended for "Light Horse Harry" Lee. It should be of interest to the descendants of ThQm(J,S Lee of Charleston, for Thomas Lee owned a brick home on Eliott Street and though ThomG,S Lee died in 1769 this poem may have been written by one of his descendants or relatives.

T HOMAS LEE (From a portrait owned by James Kyser Youngblood of Carlowville, Ala.)
THOMAS LEE OF CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA
THOMAS LEE first appears in the records of Charleston in 1738 when his second child, a daughter, Mary was born. ( The Journal of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, Vol. XVII, Page 31, puts the date of his arrival in South Carolina at 1734). His English origin as given on the "Lee Family Tree" states that he was the first son of Francis Lee and Mary ( Mary Barnell), of Barbados, who bore the same Coat of Arms as Harry Lee, one of the Captains of the City of London, who was probably the son of Sir Robert Lee, Lord Mayor of Lon don in 1602, who was granted the Coat of Arms, December 20, 1593. Sir Robert Lee was born in Bridgenorth, Shopshire, England and died January 28, 1605. Francis Lee of Bridgetown, St. Michael's Parish, Barbados, married Mary Barnell, December 23, 1707 in Barbados. His will was dated September 9, 1727, proved and recorded Jan uary 17, 1727/28, in St. Michael's Parish, Barbados. In the records he is termed "Gentleman" and "Esquire" and the rec ord of his burial dated September 12, 1727 describes him as Attorney-at-law. His known children were Thomas, born Feb ruary 6, 1710/11; Francis Lee, born November 8, 1712; Joseph Lee, born January 6, 1714; William Henry Lee, born October 29, 1719; and Mary Lee, born February 1720. Little is known of Thomas Lee, but there are records in Charleston of the birth of his children by his wife Mary Giles. From the records in St. Michael's Parish, Barbados, it is known that he was the first son of Francis Lee Attorney-at-Law and Mary Barnell, that he was born in Bridgetown, St. Michael's Parish, Barbados on February 6, 1710/11, that he married Mary Giles, April 1, 1733 in St. Michael's Parish, Barbados, and that they had a son Francis, born January 16, 1734. [l] 2 THOMAS LEE
Thomas Lee is described in Charleston records as "car penter", a term variously used during that time for contractor and architect. He must have prospered for in his will, dated July 1, 1769 he bequeaths a brick house on Elliott Street, facing South, two tenements, and seven slaves. One a Negro carpenter slave man named Tomm, one a Negro fellow named Hampshire, three slave wenches named Rinah, Charity, and Old Venus and two of Rinah's children, named Little Hamp shire and Little Rinah. Mary Giles, his wife, died May 26, 1757 and was buried on the 27th in the grounds of St. Philip's Church in Charleston. She had eleven children by Thomas Lee (Francis, Mary, Susannah, Joseph, Rebecca, Hannah, William, Rachael, Ste phen, Ann Sarah, and Deborah). THOMAS LEE Married second, on July 20, 1758 Jane Bee. No record of issue was found. He died August 7, 1769 in Charleston at the age of 59 years, 6 months and his burial is recorded in the records of St. Philip's Parish, Charleston, South Carolina. JANE BEE LEE left a will, dated February 5, 1793 and left her possessions to her nieces Jane Thompson, Elizabeth Stent, Elizabeth Smith, Mary King, and Mary Freer.

Colonel William Lee was a watchmaker. In 1771 "Mr. Lee," during the absence of Joshua Lockwood, cared for and wound the clock in St. Michael's Steeple, for which he was paid One Hundred and Sixty Pounds Sterling. The Mr. Lee mentioned in the Minutes of St. Michaels may have been Col. William Lee though some historians have attributed this service to Major Stephen Lee, Col. William's brother. Col. William Lee was a member of St. Michael's Episcopal Church and at his death his estate received Fifty Dollars as compensation for the sale of his pew. The records of Charleston indicate that he was comparatively well off. During the Revolution he was a Captain of a True Blue Company in the Militia and was later made a Colonel. Colonel Lee was one of the Forty leading citizens of Charleston whose devotion to the Continental Cause resulted in his being im prisoned by the British on a prison ship in Charleston Harbor and sent to St. Augustine, Florida, a prisoner in exile. During the Revolutionary War he sent his family to Phila delphia for better safety. They returned to Charleston in 1780. In 1790 he was listed in the Charleston Directory as "Watch maker" with an address at 91-95 Broad Street and in 1802 his address was shown as 55 King Street. Colonel Lee was a patriot and intrepid soldier. His name is not on the roster of the Society of Cincinnati but in his obituary appearing in the City Gazette of December 5, 1803, the Motto, "Omnia Relinquit Sevare Republican" was used, indicating that he was considered worthy of being a member of that group of patriots.

WILL OF THOMAS LEE 19 Ms IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN. I Thomas Lee of N° 15 the City of Charleston do make this my last Will and Testament I give devise and bequeath to my beloved Wife Kezia Lee for and during the term of her natural life all my real and personal Estate of every nature and Kind whatever and I do hereby fully authorise and empower her by any deed or writing in her life time or by her last Will and Testament to give devise and bequeath the same in such proportions and in such manner to our Children as she may see fit, I have been 88 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE induced to make this disposition of my Estate for the following reasons, :first on account of my Confidence in her justice and affection for all our Children. Secondly Because in case of my intestacy or division of the property by my Will the portions would be inconsiderable and that part of my Estate which would fall to my Wife my daughter and Children without a profession would be inadequate to her and their support and maintenance. Justice and parental solicitude demand that the mother should have a support and the daughter and such of my Children as have no profession and are unable to support themselves. Thirdly Because I believe that it is equitable that either parent surviving ( both having contributed to the nurture Education and support of the Children and the Acquisition of the property should have the power of disposing of it. And Lastly I am influenced by the consideration that the little property being kept together would in the hands of an affectionate Mother afford at all times a home for all the Children whilst they continued dutiful I hereby appoint my Wife Executrix and my Sons Stephen, Isaac, Thomas, Joseph, and Lawrence Executors of this my last Will and Testament My Wife only to qualify during her life and at her death if necessary my Sons each in the Order they are named.

BIOGRAPHY OF JUDGE THOMAS LEE (From O'Nealls Bench and Bar of South Carolina, 1839) The perusal of the funeral discourse, by the Rev. Dr. Gilman, on the life and character of Judge Lee, has :filled my heart with so much delight that I am fain to say in reference to it, this is the true and just picture of a great and good man. Read it, and you will need nothing further to inform you. But I cannot thus avoid the task which is before me. I must write, too, even if I should fail. Thomas Lee, the son of a watchmaker in the city of Charles ton, an ardent friend of his country, and a colonel of one of the regiments of South Carolina, was born 1st December 1769. His infancy was in the storm of the Revolution, and, as Dr. Gilman beautifully says, "he may be said to have been born along with his country, and felt his way with her, up to fame and fortune, through various developments of intellectual and moral character." His father was one of the Charleston prisoners sent to St. Augustine; his family was sent by himself, for better safety, to Philadelphia. After this return of the family, 1780, he was about thirteen years of age, and was sent to the best classical school in the city of Charleston; there he acquired at least Latin enough to enable him to understand legal maxims. At :fifteen or sixteen he was a student at law, under the most celebrated lawyer in the city, John Julius Pringle, Esq., and while so studying, a debating society gave him the opportunity of cultivating those unrivalled powers of eloquence which he subsequently perfected and displayed. In 1789, when the news of the destruction of the Bastile reached Charleston, Lee, then in his twentieth year, bore a part in the public celebration, and delighted old and young with that first rich treat of declamatory powers to which they often afterwards had the privilege of listening. While studying law he acquired such a perfect knowledge of the French language as enabled him to address his French fellow-citizens in their own language. As soon as he was of age, he was ad mitted to the Bar, probably in 1790, or early in 1791. His name does not appear on the roll of attornies furnished to me, and hence I cannot be more accurate. Mr. Lee practiced success- 90 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE fully, both in Charleston and in the country. He was married in 1792. Soon after his admission to the Bar, he was elected to the Legislature, and served for several years, and advocated with enthusiasm the Republican measures. Yet he never was a partisan: he did that which he belived to be right, whether it met with the approbation of his party or not. In 1794, he was elected Solicitor, ( and I doubt not from the language of the fee bill of '91, 1 Faust, 4, that he might have been styled Solicitor General, as his appointment is called in Dr. Gilman's discourse), but, in fact, in 1794, he was appointed one of three Circuit Solicitors, who were directed by the 11 § of the Act of '91 ( 1 Faust, 165) to be appointed. He continued in that office until he was elected Clerk of the House of Representa tives, November, 1798; he probably retained that office until May, 1804, when he was elected one of the Associate Judges. This office he held only till December of the same year, when, owing to some "constutitional maladies," which were increased by sedentary employments, he resigned, and was immediately elected the successor of Paul Hamilton, the first Comptroller General, who succeeded in bringing the finances of the State into great order and prosperity. Mr. Lee pursued the same course, and as Dr. Ramsay ( 2 vol. Ram. So. Ca., 194) says, "from their exertions a chaos of public accounts has been reduced to order, energy and decision infused into every de partment of finance, and the fiscal concerns of the State re covered from disorder, are now in a :flourishing and healthy condition." The office of Comptroller General he held until 1816. By the Act of 1812, it was provided that the Comptroller General "shall be elected, as heretofore, for two years, but after having served four years in succession shall not be re-eligible to that office till after the expiration of two years." Under this provi sion Mr. Lee vacated the office of Comptroller General, and never sought it any more. Although I was young when he ceased to be Comptroller General, yet I had had the opportu nity to see Mr. Lee in his official character frequently, and he seemed to me the most perfect man, in that department, who has ever since filled it. I know, too, that the public opinion was, that his retirement was a great loss to the State. WILLIAM-THIRD GENERATION 91
In 1817 Mr. Lee was elected President of the State Bank, and filled that office most satisfactorily for the last twenty years of his life. In 1822 Mr. Lee was a member of the House of Representatives, from St. Phillip's and St. Michaefs, and Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means. His fine person, powerful voice, and elegant elocution, filled me ( then for a second time a member of the House) with admiration. He always spoke without effort, and yet his voice, as Judge Huger said to me on a former occasion, seemed to fill perfectly the Representatives Hall. In 1823 he was appointed by Presi dent Monroe, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, Judge of the District Court of the United States for the State of South Carolina, and in this office he closed his valuable life. He was as a Judge as successful as he was in all other stations. Long removed from the former, he returned to preside in it with as much dignity as if he had been absent only a day. He gave universal satisfaction. He met all the responsibility of the great "Bond Case for Duties under the Tariff," and in which it was intended to give a triumph to Nullification, by overriding the Act of Congress, in the verdict of a jury. Judge Lee ruled out the defence, and thus defeated the project, and prevented the effect of Mr. McDuffie's powers of argumentation and eloquence on a Jury. In addition to all the eminent services of Judge Lee, to which allusion has been made, it must not be forgotten, that he aided in the Temperance Reform. His beautiful example, in this respect, as he stood by the side of the never enough admired Gilman, had a powerful and just effect in giving Temperance the ascendancy, which, subsequent to his death, it attained and maintained for years in Charleston. Judge Lee, in 1817, with his pastor, Mr. Foster, and other members, seceded from the Congregational Church in Meeting street, and constituted the Unitarian Church, to the care of which Dr. Gilman was subsequently called. I do not pretend to inquire into forms of faith, either to commend or condemn. Liberty of conscience and freedom to worship, as he pleases, belongs to every one under our free and happy Constitution. And Judge Lee and Dr. Gilman worshipped God as they believed to be right: and if the true test be to "judge a tree 92 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE
by its fruits," then indeed the lives of both these eminent men entitle them, so far as men can see, to "the well done good and faithful servant"; on the part of their Master, "enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." He died on the 23d of October, 1839, in his seventieth year, leaving a large family. His eldest son, John Miles Lee, gradu ated in the class of 1813 in the South Carolina College. He was one of my most intimate and endeared friends. Like his noble, gifted father, he was a bright light, which, if it had not early been extinguished, would have been seen and known of all men. I last saw him when I was admitted to the Bar in Charleston in 1814. He soon after died. Judge Lee needs no commendation from me: his life is his praise. But I would not do him full justice without citing the eloquent tribute of that great and good man, Dr. Gilman, with which he so happily closes his funeral discourse. "Judge Lee," he says, "may be said to have died an enviable death. The very time that has taken him away was almost as felicitous as the many happy points about his own character. He has died in the fullness of a ripe and good reputation. He has not outlived his friends and admirers. He was almost borne away like Elijah in a chariot of glory-for surely the affectionate admiration of a whole community may be com pared to the Tishite's ascending car. He died before the in firmities of age had dimmed his faculties, or made it a question with the succeeding generation whether his fame was so well founded as his contemporaries represent. The young have known and heard him. The middle aged have been stirred by the tones of his manly and melodious voice, and have been prompted to high and virtuous action by his persuasion, and example. The aged have witnessed his long, consistent, and honorable career. Could happier circumstances and coin cidences have attended his death? Yes, one thing is happier than even these. He died the death of a righteous man. "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his." WILLIAM-THIRD GENERATION 93
A Discourse on the Life and Character of the Honorable Thomas Lee, late Judge in the District Court of the United States. Pronounced in the Unitarian Church, Charleston, S. C., on Sunday Evening, Nov. 3, 1839, by Samuel Gilman, D. D. PROVERBS, x. 7.-"The memory of the just is blessed." Refreshing indeed is the recollection of departed excellence. Death seems to consecrate and fix an unalterable seal on the virtues which we love and admire. They have now become our inviolable inheritance. We know that nothing hencefor ward can tarnish or impair them. So long as we beheld these virtues connected with a mortal, fallible man, we might feel a sense of their precariousness and insecurity. We could not predict, with certainty, their continued strength and lustre. But now-they are beyond the reach of accident. Neither time, nor earth, nor change, can affect them. They are as fixed as the stars of heaven. They have taken their place among the imperishable treasures of our souls. The memory of the just is blessed. Penetrated, no doubt, with his profound and affecting sen timent of inspiration, you, my hearers, have requested me to appropriate a portion of the religious services of this evening, to a delineation of the life and character of one, who has long worshipped among you-whom you have tenderly loved and revered-and whose place in this sanctuary will know him no more. The true and proper object of eulogy, I conceive, is neither to flatter the dead, nor gratify the living. Why should we lavish praises on the unconscious dead? Far are they now beyond the reach either of our applauses or reproaches. Almost equally futile is it, to b·ace out their biographies, or to dwell on their extraordinary qualities, for the mere purpose of satisfy ing a busy curiosity, or to indulge the fond vanity of surviving friends and admirers. No. We must not be led to our interesting subject, this evening, through any such man-worshipping, or man-admiring motives. It is not to exalt, or blazon forth, an individual, that I interpret your recent resolutions and request. To us, the memory of the ;ust is blessed, not because we happened to know him, and to be thrown into the same 94 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE limited sphere of action with him-but because he, himself, was a noble representative of what is excellent and enduring in human nature. The memory of the just is blessed, not be cause we can call him by name, and remember the graces of his person, the energies of his intellect, or the virtues of his mighty heart, but because we see in him a new manifestation, a glorious revelation, of the Deity-an illustration of the power of Christianity-an animating encouragement amidst the trials and toils, the darkness, embarrassments, and con tradictions of life-a type of what we might, and ought to be a specimen of what man may yet be-a blazing light, to call forth, sustain and direct, the pure and undying aspirations of our souls. Such, as I apprehend, were the legitimate objects which you had in view, in requesting me to present to you, at this time, some :fitting memorial of the late Honorable Thomas Lee. He was born in the city of Charleston, on the 1st of Dec. 1769; a year which happened to be prolific of so many dis tinguished men who adorned the past and present centuries. He was thus near the verge of seventy years, at the time of his decease, on the 23d of the last month. It may be worthy of remark, that about one year ago, when he appeared to be in possession of perfect health and vigor, he calmly stated to me, in confidential conversation, the very strong presentment he felt, that he should not live much beyond the limits of three-score years and ten. I state the circumstances as at least an interesting coincidence, and undertake not to decide how far the presentiment might have been casual, or how far it was an instance of his usual practical sagacity. His infancy and youth were exposed to the well known vicissitudes which marked the progress of the Revolutionary war, and the early struggles of our republic. He may be said to have been born along with his country, and felt his way together with her, up to fame and fortune, through various developments of intellectual and moral character. Thus he was an American in grain; and the lover of our institutions might fairly and proudly point to him, as an indigenous spe cimen of what they were intended to produce. His father, who pursued the industrious and skillful occupation of a watch- WII..LIAM-THIRD GENERATION 95 maker in Charleston, entered among the foremost into the conflicts, exposures and sacrifices, encountered by the inhabi tants of the colonies. This gentleman must have been distin guished for considerable energy of mind and character, since he was for some time a Commissioner in the American army, and was afterwards appointed colonel of one of the regiments of South Carolina. We also find his name in the list of that honorable band, who, for purposes of intimidation, were exiled to St. Augustine by the enemy when in possession of Charles ton. The subject of our memoir was at this period about eleven year of age. His father had transported his whole rising family for safety to Philadelphia. To what influences the youthful Lee was exposed at that very observing and im pressible age,-whether he saw anything of the excellent society which then abounded in Philadelphia, or was engaged in pursuing such an elementary education as the times would permit, or felt the pinching grasp of privation and poverty, I have no materials whatever to determine. The next incident which I have been able to trace in his juvenile biography, is his attendance at the respectable classi cal school of Messrs. Thompson and Baldwin, in this city. This must have occurred not long before and after the peace of 1783, when he was about thirteen years old. Here it is certain, that he made sufficient proficiency at least in the Latin language, to serve as an auspicious foundation to his attain ments in legal science, for which it appears he had an early instinctive propensity; for we find him only two or three years after, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, already a student in the office of an eminent lawyer, who still survives at a very advanced and most honored decline, and who well remembers his youthful pupil, as one of the most promising and interest ing of his time. He belonged about this period to a Moot, or Debating Society, which numbered among its members the flower of the city, many of whom subsequently obtained high distinction in the race of honorable renown. It was in this society, no doubt, that Judge Lee first developed and culti vated the elements of that fluent, persuasive, and commanding eloquence, which afterwards so frequently enlisted all hearts in its favor, prompted as it ever was, by a conscientious love of 96 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE right, and clothed in the most captivating gifts of voice, lan guage, and manner. Even in his early life, an opportunity was not wanting for its public exercise and display. The French Revolution, in its preliminary stages, had commanded the best sympathies of the whole world; and when intelli gence in the year 1789 arrived, at Charleston, of the destruc tion of that stronghold of oppression and tyranny, the Bastile, a meeting of the citizens was summoned to express their con gratulations on the event. Although but in his twentieth year, young Lee appeared with characteristic ardor, on this conge nial occasion, before his fellow-citizens, and won the first leaf of that public chaplet, which continued to increase and strengthen for fifty years, and which was even on the point of acquiring new and verdant honors, when the venerable wearer was summoned, we trust, to receive an infinitely more precious crown, that fadeth not away. The six or seven years which he devoted to the study of the Law, at a period of comparative boyhood, sufficiently evince the original decision of his character, together with a deep-seated consciousness of his appropriate destination in life. Among his other accomplishments, he acquired so per fect a knowledge of the French language, that he could, at any time afterwards, address with his accustomed ease and happy effect, a body of his French fellow-citizens, or examine a French witness at the Bar, without an interpreter. In 1790, as soon as he arrived at age, he commenced the practice of his profession under the most favorable auspices. The general difficulties and embarrassments of the country had been now surmounted; the new Government had acquired a stability which secured universal confidence; commercial activity and prosperity everywhere revived; and Charleston partook largely of the happy renovation. Mr. Lee continued several years in very successful practice, at the same time riding an extensive circuit, in company with a few ardently attached friends, some of whom yet survive to bear witness to the delights of a connexion, which grew stronger and dearer through every subsequent and strange vicissitude, preserving even its genial fires amidst the storms of party abroad, and beneath the whitening hair at home, until the hand of death WILLIAM-THIRD GENERATION 97 brought about the irrevocable parting, and the wann tears of long tried friendship were poured into his closing grave. In the mean time, his imposing talents and fine qualities attracted the attention of his fellow-citizens, who, shortly after he commenced the practice of the law, elected him a member of the State Legislature. In this capacity he served for several years, advocating, with especial enthusiasm and effect, every measure which leaned to what is called the popular side. Yet I am assured by those whose opportunities and penetration well qualify them to decide, that even in times of the greatest political agitation, he never was properly a party-man; he never surrendered himself as the slave of any faction-but always preserved his independence untrammeled, and refrain ed from pushing his favorite principles to a reckless extreme.(> He was married in the year 1792, and afterwards passed a few years in the country, but has generally resided in Charleston with his large and interesting family, on whom he conferred the most enlightened education that his opportunities allowed. In the year 1794, he was appointed, at the age of twenty five, Solicitor General of the State, an office which he discharg ed to universal satisfaction for about ten years, when he was appointed one of the Judges of the Court of General Sessions and Common Pleas. This office he held but a very short time, being induced to resign it by some constitutional maladies, incompatible with the sedentary duties which it required. He was soon after appointed Comptroller General of the State, and continued to discharge that office for twelve or fourteen years. Respecting his services in this department of public duty, per haps no authority more satisfactory could be adduced than the late Dr. Ramsay, who rendered him, while living, the fol lowing testimony in his excellent History of South Carolina a testimony, the full truth of which I am not aware was ever in the slightest degree questioned. When speaking of the recovery of the State from her financial embarrassments and
(> During the highest excitement of the recent conflict between South Caro lina and the General Government, when many even of the most honorable members of both the opposing parties contributed to separate funds, for the purpose of purchasing votes, Judge Lee, although surpassed by none for a deep interest in the great questions at issue, nor for a readiness to incur pecuniary sacrifices in the promotion of what he deemed the righteous cause, resolutely refused to encourage a proceeding which he considered so unjustifiable. 98 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE difficulties at the commencement of the present century, Dr. Ramsay remarks: "After five years faithful service, in which Paul Hamilton introduced the same order into the finances of the State which had been done by his illustrious namesake for the United States, he was honored by his grateful country with the highest State office in its gift. Thomas Lee was ap pointed his successor, who with equal firmness and ability, prosecutes the same good work. From their exertions," he continues, thus evidently including Judge Lee in the same ecomium with his meritorious predecessor, "from their exer tions, a chaos of public account has been reduced to order; energy and decision infused into every department of finance; and the fiscal concerns of the State, recovered from disorder, are now in a flourishing and healthy condition." Dr. Ramsay also remarks afterwards, that the very delicate and difficult measure of adjusting the legislative representation of the peo ple to their property and numbers, was effected by the prelimi nary exertions of Comptroller Lee, who reduced to one view the whole property of the State from numerous and compli cated reh1rns. The Legislature then adopted a new principle of distributing the representation, introduced and ably sup ported by Abraham Blanding. Thus, he concludes, "a real difficulty, which threatened the peace of the State, was com promised to general satisfaction, and the reform of the fiscal department essentially contributed to a reform of the Consti tution, and the stability of the Government." In 1817, Judge Lee was elected President of the State Bank in this city, an office which he faithfully and satisfactorily filled for the last twenty-two years of his life. A sense of his services to that institution has been publicly expressed by the directors, precluding any further reference to the subject here. In 1823, he was commissioned by President Monroe, as Judge of the District Court of the United States for South Carolina District. His connexion with this office also ceased only with his death, after a punctual and assiduous perform ance of its duties for almost seventeen years. Those who were best acquainted with his merits in this department, and best qualified to judge of them, have in a public manner already conferred on him the beautiful and comprehensive WILLIAM-THIRD GENERATION 99 eulogy, that his "decisions were characterized by a love of truth, and his judgments were given in mercy; that he ad ministered justice without respect to persons, and did equal right to the poor and the rich." In addition to this high testi monial, it has been privately remarked by a competent observer, that Judge Lee exhibited a striking flexibility of talent in adapting himself immediately to the forms and phraseology and spirit of his juridical function, after the long disuse of legal habits to which his other duties had previously subjected him. Another, eminently qualified, assures me, that no Judge ever sat on the Bench, who was more patient in listening to Counsel, or more candid and open to every just impression, or who made up his judgments with more calm deliberation, or who would more gracefully surrender his deeply fixed opinions and prepossessions, before the light of reason and argument. And if I might venture, myself, another train of remark on a subject so alien from my sphere, I would diffidently observe, without presuming to pronounce on his legal merits either one way or another, that the published decisions of Judge Lee ex hibited a most commendable perspicuity of style; that he did something to free the profession from the usual charge of being technical and pedantic: that there was a happy neatness and point about his explanations and reasonings, avoiding both the extremes of saying too much and too little; and that in one respect at least, he followed at no large distance the steps of the great legal luminary of our country and day, himself so lately extinct, by popularizing and rendering intelligible to ordinary capacities the science and mysteries of the law. While enumerating the public services of Judge Lee, it will by no means be out of place to allude to his exertions in the cause of the Temperance Reform. The time will come, when South Carolina, and his whole country, will more vividly re member and recognise his merits in this department of action, than even his fiscal and juridical services. In fact, the Tem perance Association may now be regarded as one of the settled institutions of our country, although no legislature has sanc tioned it, and no political convention has enforced its para mount authority. And he, who takes a leading part in it, as did our deceased friend, without the least tincture of fanatical 100 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE ultraism on the one hand, or of shrinking timidity and inde cision on the other, may be as emphatically pronounced a public man, as if he acted by the unanimous vote of a legis lature, or could show on his warrant, the Great Seal of the United States. For he has God for his authority-his con science for his charter,-and the advancement, good order, happiness, both spiritual and temporal, of the community, as much his object and guide, as if he were the author of a whole code of engrossed laws. It was therefore, I conceive, with peculiar propriety, that in your resolutions of the last Sabbath, you gave this feature of his public history a prominent place. Truly, also, might the Managers of the Young Men's Temperance Society, while recently bewailing his decease, observe, that if his departure is a source of affiiction to other associations, it is profoundly and emphatically so to them; Judge Lee having been identified with the rise and progress of the Temperance movements in South Carolina. Yes, to his lasting honour be it said, that with that far-reaching in stinct of benevolence and usefulness, which was one of the constituent elements of his character, he perceived from the very beginning, the vital importance of this cause to families and to States-to fathers, mothers, children, neighbours, com munities and nations. It was about ten years ago that he stepped forth with a little band-long before the cause began to be in any way popular,-nay, when it was decidedly un popular,-when it was thought the most legitimate object of wit, sarcasm and reproach. All this he cheerfully and calmly bore, both from high quarters and low, moving steadfastly onward to the end with an unshaken and devoted faith. The next circumstance in his history, to which I shall ad vert, although still less of a public nature, can yet scarcely be classed among the transactions of his private life. I mean his connection with this Church. In the resolutions at your late meeting, it was declared, with equal truth and simplicity, that to Judge Lee we "owe a debt of gratitude." Perhaps few among us are aware of the full extent and bearing of that remark. It may be known to many, that in the year 1817, this Church had been long united with another in the city, so as to form with it one legal corporation and one ecclesias- Wn,LIAM-THIRD GENERATION 101 tical body, even to the regular interchange of pulpits every Sabbath by the two acting pastors. Few persons acquainted with religious history, would antecedently predict that a con nection like this could be indefinitely permanent. It must have been foreseen that in the lapse of time, the harmony of the association, however complete at first, would at length be disturbed by personal partialities and prepossessions in favor of different pastors, or by differences in theological opinions. Accordingly with the year just mentioned, the period had arrived for both these causes of disturbance to operate with uncontrollable power. The two Churches were rent into an irreconcilable division, one party embracing the ancient Cal vinistic creed of the corporation, and the other adopting those principles of scriptural interpretation denominated Unitarian. The breach was still further widened by the fact, that one of the officiating ministers for the time being, Mr. Forster, was an earnest advocate of the last mentioned system, and had, in a short time, acquired a large number of adherents, being par ticularly acceptable as a preacher and a man. It thus became a desirable object of the Calvinistic party to exchange him for a clergyman of a different description, and secure, if pos sible, the continued adherence of both the Churches to their ancient creed. At this crisis, Judge Lee was found among the friends and followers of Mr. Forster, who proposed to the other party the terms of an amicable separation, and the future appropriation of each Church edifice to the use of the denominations, respectively. The proposition was for some time strenuously resisted. Various discussions and meetings took place, at which Judge Lee was almost the only promi nent advocate of the side which he had espoused. Single handed, he encountered four or five very able and active opponents, unl:il at length both parties became convinced that there was no hope of future harmony and reconciliation, except by a voluntary and absolute separation. Our departed friend was Chairman of the Joint Committee of Ten, who drew up and reported the articles of separation. "Impressed," say the Committee in their Report, "with the solemnity and importance of the subject confided to them, and anxiously solicitous to meet the wishes of their constituents, they fre- 102 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE quently and freely interchanged their sentiments, and now recommend the above measures as the most likely to tran quilize the Church, and unite in brotherly love and affection all its worshippers." Upon this recommendation the whole body acted, and the result may be perceived in the following extract from their minutes: "Charleston, 24th June, 1817. At a Church meeting held this afternoon in the Circular Church, present one hundred members and supporters; on the above Report of the Joint Committee being read, it was unanimously agreed to adopt the same without any alteration whatever." Thus terminated this severe struggle, and they who have since enjoyed the advantage of an edifice here, where they could celebrate the worship of Jehovah, and ob serve the ordinances and institutions of Christianity, accord ing to the principles then contended for, and which they have been led conscientiously to adopt, may estimate the truth and force of the declaration, that we owe a debt of gratitude to Judge Lee. But this was but the beginning of our debt of gratitude to him. For twenty-two years he has continued one of the firmest and most efficient supporters that ever blessed and upheld a Church. Truly may we say that a fair pillar has been removed from our temple. Unstintedly and unshrink ingly did he throw his reputation, his influence, his exertions, his time, his voice, his good wishes and his prayers into the ark where he believed the truth was enshrined, and the best interests of himself and mankind enclosed. Never doubting, never desponding, always conciliatory, always forbearing, he entered with zeal into every project which the exigencies of the Church, or the defence and maintenance of its principles required. A prominent and beautiful feature of his character was, to surrender peacefully and gracefully to the will of the majority, in matters where his conscience was not absolutely concerned. For instance, when it was proposed several years ago to procure an organ for the improvement and assistance of the choir, his private taste preferred the ancient practice of vocal music; but as soon as he learned that an organ was desired by the congregation at large, his generous subscrip tion was immediately ready for the purpose. Nor did his WILLIAM-THIRD GENERATION 103 interest in the Church rest simply in externals. He was as far as any man living from employing religion as an instru ment of policy, or for the promotion of good order in society. He would have scorned so low a motive for its support. His religion, too, was infinitely removed from the mere negation, of which his views are sometimes thought to consist. His zeal was never inspired by the fact that he had made a party matter of the cause, and that he must now support it at all hazards. He had repeatedly and seriously examined his religious tenets. They had entered into his heart and soul. They had become a part of the very man, moulding him to the will of an all-present God, and assimilating him to his meek and spotless Redeemer. Their influence seemed almost to overcome in him the few infirmities inherited from our common imperfect nature, causing him to forget, like a child, the quick resentments of the moment, to forgive the injuries which he may have incurred, to bear with peculiar and un expected patience the attacks of the last oppressive disease, and to encounter the approaches of death with a £rm, un wavering, and even triumphant faith. In some published remarks which he delivered a few years ago, at a public meeting of the Tract Society in this church, he expressed himself in the following words: "The creed of my fathers, Mr. Chairman, was Trinitarian; and I had every motive to attach myself to and love that religion which they professed. I was brought up in that faith, and worshipped in it long after the period of manhood. I then found its mysteries per plexing and incomprehensible. The demands which it made upon my mind to yield implicitly and blindly to doctrines, as fundamental, which I could not understand, led me to calm and deliberate investigation, which resulted in their rejection as not warranted by Scripture. I considered myself, sir, as an accountable being; and believing that it was my sacred duty to use the reasoning faculties with which God has en dowed me, for the discovery of truth, and in a more especial manner of religious truth, I rejected the authority of men and councils, and sought for light and direction, where alone it could be found, in the records of Revelation. My mind, sir, 104 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE
is completely satisfied; and I thank God I have no longer any doubts or misgivings." Such was the state of his mind and belief, yet combined with the most tender regard and the most entire respect for the conscientious views of all other denominations, when he became, in the year 1824, almost sixteen years ago, a regular attendant on the administration of the Lord's Supper in this church. His interest in religion has seemed to increase with every succeeding year. Not long after the event just men tioned, his eldest son, a most pious and worthy member of this church, died and was buried in the family cemetery in the country. One of his surviving sons informed me, that on the return of the family from the interment to the mansion, his father addressed them all in an impressive and instructive strain of remark, which he trusted they never could forget. During the absence of the pastor of this church a few sum mers ago, our friend took the lead in conducting the usual services of the congregation, and his impressive manner in devotion and reading, heightened as it was by his exemplary character, will long be remembered. About a year since, when it was announced that our Sunday School required a few more teachers, he was, in his sixty-ninth year, among the first to offer his services; and when a sufficient supply prevented them from being accepted, it still seemed to be his pleasure to enter his pew every Sabbath morning at an early hour, and listen to the lessons and hymns of the children. When, a few months since, a vacancy occurred in the Dea conship of the church, he cheerfully accepted the office, not withstanding his advancing age and probable infirmities. To his pastor he was ever an invaluable friend, soothing his mind and sustaining his labors by frequent notes and letters of sympathy and kindly counsel, or by visits snatched from the hours of business. Shortly before his death, as if in near anticipation of the event, while standing with a dearly beloved relative in the cemetery of our church, he pointed to a spot which he had recently purchased, and said, "when I die, let me be laid in the centre of that square. It is the next square to my friend ---'s," whom he at the same time named. "We have WILLIAM-THIRD GENERATION 105 never quarreled in life," said he, "and we shall slumber peaceably by each other's side in death." Does not this church owe him a "debt of gratitude?" Shall not the memory of the just be cherished as peculiarly blessed and precious, by every heart of sensibility among us? I had intended to close this discourse with a general sum mary or estimate of Judge Lee's intellectual and moral qual ities; but the materials of his biography have so swollen under my hands, that I shall leave this unvarnished statement of his personal history, to make its own impressions; to en force its own conclusions on your minds. There were one or two points, however, about his character, so very prominent, yet so very intrinsic, that I may be permitted to dwell on my subject for a few moments more. The first was his intense and deep conscientiousness. He had as strong a love of right and abhorrence of wrong as any man who ever lived. One of his most frequent inquiries was, is such a policy or course of conduct right? He would meet you in the streets with this question. He would discuss it with you at home. It haunted him like a messenger from heaven. It was indeed the voice of God. Would that indi vidual and social man might more and more earnestly listen to it, like our departed friend! The second of his characteristics which I cannot help noticing, was his open-handed and overflowing benevolence. His life was a series of benefactions. He seemed to know no value in money, but the good it might do to others. It was this quality that led him many years since to adopt the orphan child of a perfect stranger who died by the fever of our climate, and that at a time when his own numerous and increasing family made no slight demand upon his means. It was the same quality which prompted him to place con siderable sums of money on the severely cold days of every winter in the hands of his pastor, with a request that it might immediately be distributed to the suffering poor. At other times he would deposit amounts of money in the same hands for any general purposes of charity whatever that might occur. And again he would appropriate sums in the same manner, under a feigned hand, but which was detected to be 106 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE his, by inadvertent resemblances of manuscript, paper and other circumstances. Doubtless many are equally acquainted with other instances of a benevolence which appeared thus habitual and spontaneous. It has been said of him that he was of an indolent, or more properly speaking, an inactive temperament, unless roused to exertion by a strong sense of moral obligation. Much of this infirmity is unquestionably to be ascribed to the long periods of suffering and disease which he endured in middle life. But if he were constitutionally inactive, it only heightens his merit, that he so often and so effectually overcame the pro pensity, and was ready to act at every call, even of hopeless duty. Heaven bestow on society as many indolent members as it may please, like Judge Lee? But at last the period drew near when he was to be called to a more solemn, yet at the same time a more merciful tri bunal than the admiring or caviling judgments of his fellow mortals here. On the Sabbath before the last, he sent from his sick chamber to ask for the prayers of his church in his behalf. On the following morning he desired to see his pastor, who immediately repaired to his abode and visited him every day till his decease. He found him calm, col lected, firm as ever in all his religious views, though not dis posed to dwell on speculative points of doctrine. Repeatedly did he express his confidence in God as his merciful Friend and Father. He professed to receive infinite comfort from the language of sympathy and prayer. When informed that his numerous friends were anxious for his safety, "tell them," said he, "that I am patient; and be assured, that if ever man felt humble, such is my feeling now." Judge Lee may be said to have died an enviable death. The very time that has taken him away was almost as felici tous as the many happy points about his own character. He has died in the fulness of a ripe and good reputation. He has not outlived his friends and admirers. He was almost borne away like Elijah in a chariot of glory-for surely the affectionate admiration of a whole community may be com pared to the Tishbite's ascending car. He died before the in firmities of age had dimmed his faculties, or rendered it a WILLIAM-THIRD GENERATION 107 matter of question with the succeeding generation whether his fame were so well founded as his contemporaries represent. The young have known and heard him, and learned from him. The middle-aged have been stirred by the tones of his manly and melodious voice, and have been prompted to high and virtuous action by his persuasion and example. The aged have witnessed his long, consistent and honorable career. Could happier circumstances and coincidences have attended his death? Yes, one thing is happier than even these. He died the death of a righteous man. "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his."

When South Carolina seceded from the Union, he resigned his com mission and joined his Mother State in her fight against po litical domination by the North. He was commissioned Cap tain of Artillery, C. S. A. March 16, 1861, and is listed in Charleston Companies in the Armies of the Confederate States as "Washington Artillery, Light Battery A, Hampton Legion, Captain Stephen D. Lee." Captain Lee was an Aide to General Beauregard, and his first service was to demand the surrender of Fort Sumter and order the Fort to be fired on, when the demand was refused. Commanding a battery in the Hampton Legion, he went to Virginia, served with Johnston at Yorktown, was with Whit ing at Seven Pines and was Magruder's Chief of Artillery around Richmond. Temporarily in command of the Fourth Virginia Cavalry, he was highly complimented for his daring scouting. Statue of LT. GEN. STEPHJ;N DILL LEE Vicksburg, Mississippi

In the second Manassas Campaign, he commanded 20 guns which performed so efficiently that President Davis credited Lee with saving the day. He was equally distinguished at Sharpsburg. As Brigadier General, he commanded at Vicksburg and at Chickasaw Bayou he forced Sherman's superior force to re treat. At Baker's Creek, he had three horses shot from under him and was slightly wounded. Succeeding Johnston, Lee commanded the rear guard on the retreat in the Tennessee Campaign, saving the remnant of Hood's Army but suffering so severe a wound that he was incapacitated for the rest of the fighting. He was discharged at Hi Point, N. C., where he was paroled. After the war, he was a planter in Columbus, Miss., a State Senator in 1870 and a member of the Constitutional Conven tion. For many years he was President of the State Agricul tural and Mechanical College at Starksville, Miss., now Miss issippi State University, where he pioneered with new meth ods of instrnction and introduced departments in the me chanical arts and engineering. Gen. Lee gave a silver communion service to the Hopewell Presbyterian Church in memory of his father and mother. He received his LLD. from Tulane University. After the war, with the economy of the South destroyed, Lee the soldier, became a builder.

GENERAL STEPHEN D. LEE; HIS LIFE, CHARACTER, AND SERVICES.1
By DABNEY LIPSCOMB.2
"Gen. Stephen D. Lee, Commander-in-Chief of the United Confederate Veterans, knightly gentleman and chivalrous soldier, beloved by every man, woman, and child in Dixie Land, answered the last roll-call a few seconds be fore six o'clock this morning. His death was painless and he passed peacefully into the Valhalla of the South's immortals." Thus reads the first paragraph of a lengthy special from Vicksburg, Niiss., May 28, 1908, to the Memphis Commercial Appeal. "Whether on the field of battle, whether at the head of a great educational institution, whether directing the destinies of his old comrades, wheher in the sacred circles of his home and private life, he was a conspicuous example of noble manhood. He left the impress of his strong personality upon the South land, upon the hundreds of young men who were under him at the Mississippi A. and M. College, upon the church and personal circles where his usefulness and influence was spent." Such in part was the tribute on May 31, 1908, of the editor of the Columbus Dispatch, a former A. and M. college boy, and later for years a personal friend and fellow townsman of General Lee. From 1862, when chosen by President Davis to strengthen the Confederate army in Mississippi, to the day of his death in 1908, for forty-six years, the dominant purpose of General Lee's life was the defense in war and the upbuilding in peace of Mississippi, his adopted State since 1865. Moreover, as President of the Mississippi Historical Society from 1899 to his death, it is especially appropriate, that the record of the life and services of General Stephen D. Lee be given suitable space in the Publications of that society.
1 The writer desires to acknowledge his indebtedness to Miss Mary B. Har rison, sister-in-law of Gen. Stephen D. Lee, for valuable assistance in the collection of materials for this sketch. 2 A biographical sketch of the author of this contribution will be found in the Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society, Vol. III, p. 127.-Editor. WILLIAM-FIFTH GENERATION 139
The writer very keenly appreciates the difficulty of the task assigned to him. Biography demands even greater accuracy and sounder judgment than does history, and the shorter the sketch the more discriminating must it be in its facts, thought, and style. Funeral discourses are generally subject to serious discount, and "to lie like an epitaph" is a well-known adage. If to paint the living object just as it is, true to life, be so nearly impossible, what of the effort to portray a life? The eccentric character, pronounced, definite, fixed, may be comparatively easy to depict, but the symmetrical life, simple, strong, and modest, growing richer and nobler with years, as was General Lee's, is baffling to the astutest mind and most skillful hand. Hence the reluctance of him who essays to draw this sketch. From boyhood the writer has felt the inspiration of General Lee's brave, unselfish life, watching with interest and pride his noble figure whenever in school days it passed him on the streets of his native town. For thirteen years, as a member of the faculty of the Mississippi A. and M. College, he was inti mately associated with President Lee, honored with his friend ship and his confidence, aiding him often in his duties as Chair man of the Historical Commission of the United Confederate Veterans. Again, during the last three years, was the friendship more tenderly and firmly renewed, and truer insight into the character and greater admiration of the life in its totality have unmistakably resulted. Whether this cordial relationship tends more to qualify or disqualify for the work now in hand none doubts more seriously than he who undertakes it. Eulogy will not be the purpose of this sketch, and flattery certainly will be shunned. Both were foreign to the nature of its subject in his life both as soldier and civilian, and, judging by the simplicity of his funeral obsequies, would be displeasing to him in his biography. Following a summary review of his life will be a succinct exposition of his most important services as a soldier, educator, writer, and philanthropist. Next will come an appreciation of his character, and then an indication of the hold which he gained on the hearts of his countrymen, South and North. 140 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE
I. Stephen Dill Lee, son of Dr. Thomas and Caroline (Allison) Lee, was born in Charleston, S. C., September 22, 1833. His great-grandfather, William Lee, was one of the forty leading citizens of Charleston seized by the British as hostages and con fined on a prison ship at St. Augustine, Fla., until the close of the Revolutionary War. His grandfather, Thomas Lee, was a prominent United States District Judge during the Nullification days. 2 In early childhood Stephen D. Lee lost his mother, and in tender youth was sent to a boarding school. Owing to his father's limited means he found it necessary to begin early to steer his own course in life. Accordingly he applied to a candi date for Congress for appointment to West Point when he should take his seat in Congress. To one more certain of his election than was the candidate himself promise of the desired appointment was readily made, and later was cheerfully ful filled. 3 Consequently, in 1850, young Lee entered the West Point Military Academy and graduated in 1854 with J. E. B. Stuart, Custis Lee, Pegram, 0. 0. Howard, and others. Six years of service on the Western frontier followed, as lieutenant in the Fourth artillery, combined with the more responsible of fice of regimental quartermaster. In 1857 he served under Col onel Loomis against the Indians in Florida. On the approach of the War of Secession he resigned from the United States Army and was appointed captain of the South Carolina Volunteers, and then captain in the Confederate Army. As aide to General Beauregard at Fort Sumter he, with Colonel Chestnut, de manded its surrender, and on the refusal of its commander carried the order to fire upon the fort.4 From the surrender of Sumter in 1861 to Johnston's surrender in 1865, he served throughout the war with ability in every department-artillery, cavalry, infantry-in Virginia, Mississippi, Georgia, and Ten nessee, and was promoted on merit successively through every

grade of military rank from captain to lieutenant-general. Jefferson Davis said: "I have tried Stephen D. Lee in cavalry, infantry, and artillery, and found him not only serviceable but superior in all."s At the close of the war General Lee made Columbus, Missis sippi, his home, having married in February, 1865, Miss Regina Harrison, the gifted and accomplished daughter of Hon. James T. Harrison. They had but one child, Blewett H. Lee, who was graduated from the Mississippi A. and M. College, the Uni versity of Virginia, and Harvard University. After study of law in Europe, service as private secretary to Judge Gray of the United States Supreme Court, and practice of law in At lanta, he became a Professor of Law in Northwestern Univer sity and later held a similar chair in the University of Chicago. Since 1902 Mr. Lee has been General Attorney for the Illinois Central R. R. Company, living with his family in Chicago.5 After fifteen years of military life General Lee was still a young man, thirty-three years of age. Blessed in his own home life, he looked with sorrowful sympathy upon the be reavement and desolution all about him. Resolutely he set himself to repair the fortunes of his own family and to lend a helping hand to others. Twelve years of private life he spent as a planter, unconsciously thus preparing himself practically for the work of industrial education into which, with his whole heart, he was soon to enter. For a short time, however, he accepted the office of superintendent of agencies for a life in surance agency, but the impaired health of his wife caused him to discontinue a business which required him to be absent from her so much of his time. Largely through her influence he soon after the war joined the Baptist Church, and began at once that active, devout, consistent Christian life for which for forty years he has been notable. In 1878 he re-entered public life as State Senator from Lown des county, and thus in another way acquired experience and formed acquaintances of great value to him in the performance of his future duties as President of the A. and M. College, to which post he was called in 1880. A score of years less one-

Pollard, pp. 674-87. 6 Who's Who in America, Vol. V, 1908-1909. 142 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE he wished to make it a full score-he gladly, diligently gave to the education of the sons of his Confederate comrades in agri culture and the mechanic arts and in the sciences underlying these occupations, more than ever essential to the prosperity and development of the South. He also spared no pains to make available for their children the correct history of the causes, events, and results of the dreadful struggle between the States. There was nothing perfunctory in his attendance on the Annual Reunions or work as chairman of the Historical Commission of the Confederate Veterans. Though none had accepted the verdict of war more faithfully and finally, few, if any, were so concerned that the great cause be truthfully and permanently recorded. His election as President of the Mis sissippi Historical Society in 1899, and as President of the Board of Trustees of the Department of Archives and History of the State of Mississippi in 1902, was a fitting recognition of his services to the State and his worthy efforts to transmit to coming generations a full and unprejudiced history of the \Var of Secession. While college president General Lee also found time to help frame the fourth fundamental law of the State, the Consti tution of 1890, which legally and peaceably settled the ques tion of suffrage, fixed new limits on legislation and the terms of officeholders, and prescribed more clearly the laws regulat ing the chartering and taxing of corporations. He was a dele gate from Oktibbeha county to the Constitutional Convention of 1890. On May 1, 1899, General Lee resigned the presidency of the A. and M. College, having been appointed by President Mc Kinley one of the three commissioners of the Vicksburg Na tional Military Park. He now entered upon the last distinctive period of his life, in some respects the most interesting and important. Honors were pressed upon him, but the one which he prized most was that of Commander-in-Chief of the United Confederate Veterans, to which office he was elected in 1904, on the death of General John B. Gordon. To the duties of this office he gave most of the greater leisure which he could now claim. Invitations more numerous than he could pos sibly accept were showered on him, urging him to address the WILLIAM-FIFTH GENERATION 143
U. C. V., U. S. C. V., and G. A. R. camps and reunions, U. D. C. conventions, state legislatures, colleges, historical societies, and other gatherings for the unveiling of monuments, decoration of graves, and purposes of similar import. Before the legislature of nearly every Southern state he stood and plead eloquently for an appropriation from each for monuments on battle fields here and there to mark the graves of their Confederate dead; and rarely, if ever, was his appeal in vain. Among the best of his speeches was that delivered at the laying of the corner stone of the monument to Jefferson Davis in Richmond, Va., and at the unveiling of the Confederate monument at Vicks burg. In all his utterances, particularly in later years, there was almost a tearful plea to the young to treasure the memory of their fathers. This they could do without treason to their great reunited country, which at the same time he besought them to honor and boldly claim as theirs, for their fathers had largely made it what it is. This was particularly true of his last speech of this kind, made to the faculty and students of the Mississippi Industrial Institute and College, May 7 and 8, 1908, on The Capture of Vicksburg. His tribute also to Grant's military sagacity and to the valor of the Union soldiers as well as to that of the Confederates, both alike now the heritage of North and South, was almost as impressive as his reference to the grandmothers of the girls before him, whose beautiful, brave lives he in a tender, fatherly way implored them to emulate. During this period he became a national figure, with influ ence potent in every quarter of the Union. The invitations re ferred to indicate this, and more clearly still the esteem and friendship of President McKinley and President Roosevelt and many of the Grand Army leaders of the North. To the proposed monument to his memory, to be erected at Vicksburg, North ern states have contributed almost as generously as Southern. Exhausted by the address of welcome made at Vicksburg on May 22d to the survivors of Lawler's Brigade, his foes forty five years before on that historic battle ground, he succumbed gradually to the effects of the exertion and the heat of the day, until death came to him early in the morning of May 28, 1908. Fit place in every way for him to die, and in what nobler cause could his last energies have been expended! By special train, 144 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE with military escort, and accompanying representatives of the State government, the Park Commission, U. C. V. and U. D. C. officials, and other distinguished citizens as mourners, the remains of the noble Southern chieftain were borne by his stricken son and kindred back to Columbus, Miss., for burial. From the family residence on May 30th, at 4 p. m., the simple funeral services were held; Gen. Clement A. Evans, on behalf of the Confederate Veterans, making the chief address. Then the casket, wrapped in a Confederate flag, was gently lifted and borne away to its last resting place. Following it as honor ary pallbearers were Governor Noel and other State officials, the Military Park Commissioners, Department and Division Commanders of the Confederate Veterans, representatives of the State National Guard and other orders, civic and military. Never was such a funeral held in that little city. Through streets lined with his sorrowful fellow-townsmen, the long pro cession of carriages, of veterans, military escorts, cadets of the A. and M. College, students of the Industrial Institute and Col lege, and countless friends, thousands in all, slowly moved toward Friendship Cemetery by buildings draped in mourning and past the United States flag at half-mast by the order of President Roosevelt. With military honors, volleys fired and taps sounded by the cadets of his own loved A. and M. College, the body was softly lowered into the tomb at set of sun. Heap ing the grave with floral offerings, costly and beautiful, which had come from far and near, the great throng, hushed by grief and awe, slowly and reluctantly dispersed.
II. As a soldier General Lee early attracted the attention of his superiors by his prompt and fearless performance of any duty assigned to him. Captain Lee in the battles around Richmond was complimented by Robert E. Lee for his activity and gal antry, and at Second Manassas as Colonel Lee, when sent to aid Jackson's thin lines against Porter's heavy columns, so effective was the assistance rendered that General Lee reported that "under the well directed fire of his batteries the enemy's lines were broken and fell back in confusion." 7 He "saved the
7 National Cyclopedia of American Biography, 1893. WILLIAM-FIFTH GENERATION 145 day at Second Manassas," said President Davis. At Sharps burg he added to his reputation, and proved that he was a "born artillerist." When Jackson and J. E. B. Stuart, the fol lowing day, reported to General Lee that the enemy's right could not be turned, and Lee seemed still to be in doubt, Jack son requested him to send his most capable artillerist to inves tigate and report upon the situation, without knowledge of pre vious discussion between the Generals. Colonel S. D. Lee was the one chosen by General Lee to make this report. It coincided with that of Jackson and Stuart, and on the strength of these reports Lee reluctantly withdrew that night across the Po tomac. 9 The war in the West was going against the South. The Mis sissippi river was almost open to the invaders. Vicksburg was threatened. Then, just after the battle of Sharpsburg, Mr. Davis requested R. E. Lee "to select his most efficient and accomplished artillery officer for duty on the Mississippi," 10 and Colonel Lee, as "having no superior in the army of the Potomac,11 was chosen to help save the President's own State. Colonel Lee was promoted Brigadier-General November 2, 1862, and sent to Vicksburg. At Chickasaw Bayou, December 29th next, with 2,700 men he signally repulsed General vV. T. Sherman with 32,000 men. At Baker's Creek, or Champion Hills, he was commended for heroic conduct by his division commander, having had three horses killed under him and been himself wounded in that sanguinary battle. Throughout the siege of Vicksburg he was constantly on duty at the front; his trenches at the surrender of the city being nearest to those of the enemy.12 After the fall of Vicksburg, with other prisoners he was ex changed, and, on August 3, 1863, raised to the rank of Major General and placed in command of all the cavalry in Missis sippi, with special orders to harass Sherman and defend the State as best he could. It was a hard field, with little prospect

Under his orders Forrest went against Sturgis, and at Brice's Cross Roads gained one of the most brilliant victories of the war. The outlook grew some what brighter. The rank of Lieutenant-General was conferred on him June 23, 1864, then but thirty-one years of age, the youngest Lieutenant-General in the Confederate Army. In July General A. J. Smith moved out of Memphis with 16,000 men to crush Forrest. Lee and Forrest, with 6,500 men en countered Smith at Harrisburg, or Tupelo. Their attack was repulsed with heavy loss, conflicting orders causing con fusion in the plan of battle.14 Smith reported a great victory, but did not dare attack Lee and Forrest the next day in line of battle confronting him. Instead, he retreated precipitately to Memphis, only to be rebuked by Generals Grant and Sher man and ordered out again to capture Forrest. When Hood was placed in chief command at Atlanta, J. E. Johnston having been removed, S. D. Lee succeeded to the command of Hood's corps; and at Ezra Church, Jonesboro, and other battles around Atlanta fought his divisions desperately.15 At Nashville Lee was to Hood what Thomas was to Rosecrans at Chickamauga. For two days his corps hurled back the charges of the enemy, and the day following the defeat re pulsed time and again Wilson's fierce cavalry assaults. At 2 p. m. that day General Lee was badly wounded in the foot, but would not relinquish his command until 11 p. m. General Lee's corps was the only organized command for a day or two after

WILLIAM-FIFTH GENERATION 147 the battle, forming Hood's rear guard.16 He was the only corps commander complimented by General Hood. Cheatham's failure to obey orders to occupy the pike at Spring Hill was the great blunder of the campaign. In referring to this General Hood asserted, that "had Lieutenant General Lee been in advance at Spring Hill Schofield's army never would have passed that point," but, as he confidently believed, "would have been enveloped, routed, and captured." "Lieutenant General Lee and the corps commanded by him deserves great credit," General Hood states in his official report of the opera tions of the army of Tennessee.17 "General Lee was a strict disciplinarian, but his strictness was commended by his impartiality. He made no distinction against the private soldier, nor in favor of the commissioned officer. Hence he was more popular among 'the men' than among the officers. If all the officers in the Confederate army had been like Lee the cause for which they fought might not necessarily be epi taphed as 'lost'." This was written of Col. S. D. Lee, commander of the reserve artillery of the army of Northern Virginia. In his Reminiscences of the Civil War, General John B. Gordon adjudges "Stephen D. Lee a brilliant campaigner, pronounced by competent au thority one of the most effective campaigners of the Civil War." 19 One of the many newspaper sketches of his life thus refers to General Lee: "When the surrender came at Appomattox he did not tum to the graves of the dead past for his inspiration, but rather to the living who were hopeful and God-fearing. He knew that neither tears nor regrets could till the fallow lands of the South, fill its depleted smokehouses, feed the hungry children, repair shattered fortunes, and lend a chorus to the songs of the fields." 20 Truthful as well as beautiful are the sentiments thus ascribed to him. General Lee was one of the first of the Southerners to advocate industrial education; indeed, he has been entitled the "Father of industrial education in the South." Accordingly, when in May, 1880, he was called to the presidency of the Mis sissippi Agricultural and Mechanical College, he accepted it with hope and courage, but also with misgivings, for it meant a break with past educational traditions and systems.

To the study of plans and the construction and equipment of the college he concentrated and consecrated his energies of mind and body, and upon this institution he lavished the wealth of his heart to the day of his death. If a panacea could be found for the bleeding and prostrate South he was convinced that in the churches and such schools as this it surely lay. Not an iota from a strict interpretation of the charter of the col lege would he swerve, resisting stoutly every appeal to intro duce the classics, philosophy, or whatever else might distract the purpose or slacken the emphasis and thus mar the results he sought, and believed would come only through a new type of education. In the sufficiency of the English language for all the needs of the average man, he had not the shadow of a doubt. Upon the teaching of better methods in agriculture to its young men and the dissemination of helpful knowledge through bulletins and institutes to the farmers of the State, he for years laid chief stress, always proclaiming the need and dignity of labor, especially skilled labor. Clearness, thoroughness, and readiness, or "snap," as he called it, he constantly insisted on in his talks both to the in structors and the students. Though he maintained a firm mili tary discipline, he was no martinet, it being as mild as was consistent with the purposes in view. He ever sought to instill a high sense of honor and truthfulness in the students, and marked lapses from these were punished with severity. He took special interest and often active part in the religious services held in the college, always encouraged and aided the Y. M. C. A., and in one of the great religious revivals, that occurred during his presidency he was painfully concerned until every member of the senior class had professed faith in Christ; for he depended much in his discipline and attainment of other results on the example set by the upper classes. His relations with his faculty and other officers were remarkably frank and cordial. He simply asked and expected results in harmony with his general purposes and plans, leaving each official largely to his own resources and methods, though ever watchful and sympathetic, ready to assist or advise when emer-
18 The Story of a Boy Company, by an ex-Boy, 1885, pp. 75-76. WILLIAM-FIFTH GENERATION 149
gencies arose. To the utmost he sustained his subordinates, and listened attentively even to the youngest in faculty delib erations. For their promotion he kept an open eye, and would urge them to accept better places elsewhere that might be offered, even though their leaving might for a while embarrass him. His report to the board of trustees was always read first to his faculty. No wonder that students and faculty were as a rule devoted to him, for he trusted them and sought their welfare more, apparently, than his own. The board of trustees evidently left to him very largely the policy and general work of the college; meeting chiefly, it seemed, to endorse his reports and recommendations. What he accomplished with the meager support given to the college for years by the Legislature, and against the opposition of men of prominence and the indifference of even the farmers of the State, is no less than wonderful. That he remained at his post in 1888, when the appropriation by the Legislature was not more than $25,000 and the salaries of the president and pro fessors were in the bill reduced ten per cent, is due simply to his devotion to duty and love of the institution he had founded. Some professors resigned to accept more lucrative positions in other colleges. Not so General Lee, though urged by General John B. Gordon, then Governor of Georgia, in a letter dated September 12, 1888, to accept the Chancellorship of the Uni versity of Georgia with a salary of $3,000 and a comfortable home, when his salary had been reduced to $2,250. 21 He re mained at his post eleven years longer, deaf to other attractive offers, and laid deep and broad and strong the foundations on which others in better times have built the more easily and successfully because of his arduous and self-sacrificing labors. Lowry and McCardle's Mississippi History, 1891, says in ref erence to the college: "Since the opening of its doors it has been under the direction and control of Gen. Stephen D. Lee, to whose wise management, in great measure, is due its phenomenal success." Fitting is it, that the great auditorium and administration building in progress of erection at the A. and M. College should
21 East Mississippi Times, Starkville, Miss., Sept. 27, 1888, published Gen. Cordon's letter and commented on Gen. Lee's self-sacrificing declination. 150 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE bear his honored name. Generous and appropriate, too, are these words from President J. C. Hardy in a recent historical sketch of the College: "The success of this college is due and the good it is to do in the years to come will be due more than to anything else to the splendid foundation work done by Gen. Stephen D. Lee, its :first president." 22 "All over the South to-day are young men gone from his training who have nobly assisted in conserving the forces of nature, in making this country richer, more independent, more beautiful. Other States of the South, following General Lee's idea, now pay more attention to gardens, the dairy and corn and cotton fields than to the grosser things-like fighting for office and trying to be orators." 2 3 "In the position of president of the Mississippi A. and M. College he has done remarkable work in building up the waste places of the South." 24
IV. General Lee rendered valuable service with his pen as well as with his sword. His College Reports to the Legislature are important contributions to the history of industrial education in the South. "The South Since the War," a hundred page review in Volume XII of Confederate Military History, is a thoughtful, broad treatment of the subject, which will amply repay the reader. It is his most elaborate and philosophic literary production. His papers in the Publications of the Mis sissippi Historical Society are better known and fill out in a way characteristic of the man, clearly, directly, and modestly, several chapters in the record of the war not before so well or fully written. In these papers he describes graphically the battle of Chickasaw Bayou, the Vicksburg campaigns and the Siege following, Shennan's Meridian Expedition, the battle of Brice's Cross Roads, and of Harrisburg, or Tupelo.25 From first-hand knowledge and from careful study of the official reports on both sides, these accounts have been drawn in an accurate, judicious manner, and doubtless they will always be authorita tive versions of some of the most critical and thrilling events of the war. They are contained in Volumes II, III, IV, and VI of the Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society.

Better known, perhaps, and more imperatively needed, most effective too, in good results, were the "Reports of the His torical Commission of the United Confederate Veterans," of which commission General Lee was for many years the efficient, enthusiastic chairman. Principally to banish from Southern schools histories containing prejudiced and inaccurate records of the War between the States was the object of the commis sion. Almost every United States school history used in this country was critically examined by the chairman of this com mission or by those he designated for this responsible duty. How ere long there came to be Southern and Northern editions of certain popular school histories; and how, in recent years, for schools both North and South, one edition of these books, fairly impartial, is now published, is known to the well-in formed. To correct also, the larger histories and to encourage the narration by Southern writers of the causes and events of the war and of reconstruction was a leading aim of the com mission. The interesting annual report made at the reunion of 1908 by General Clement A. Evans, successor to General Lee as chairman, shows how satisfactorily the work of the commission has progressed. The reports appeared annually in the Confederate Veteran and in the daily and weekly press. General Lee's published addresses referred to elsewhere in this sketch, as summaries of history and surveys of the present, received wide and favorable attention. Loyal to the past, yet living in the present and deeply concerned for the future of the South, they breathe the loftiest patriotism and point the way by which the South may retain its virtues, regain its wealth, and renew its influence on the life and destiny of the nation. In them he stresses and reiterates the necessity and the duty of real unity and harmony between the North and the South. These addresses printed in numerous Southern papers, are the most finished and impressive of his literary efforts. v. Very few of even the inner circle of General Lee's acquaint ances knew how frequent and liberal were his contributions to patriotic and charitable associations, to churches of his own and other denominations, and how continuous were the appeals 152 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE to his generosity from indigent veterans and others who knew the kindness of his heart. But for his timely pecuniary aid a number of worthy poor boys would each year have had to dis continue their courses at the A. and M. College. No woman or old soldier who asked his subscription for a book of any kind or the purchase of anything that might be offered was turned away. Hundreds of dollars he spent annually in such benevo lences, and during the last eight or ten years of his life his salary was poured out lavishly in the aid of good causes, re ligious, charitable, and patriotic. Eternity alone will reveal the extent of his liberality; he kept no record of it and made no pretense of being a philanthropist, than whom, however, Mis sissippi, in the correct meaning of the term, never had a truer or more open-handed. VI. It is far easier to show what a man has done than to show what he is. Though the outward life generally reveals fairly well the man, it can never do so altogether. Few can stand a near approach and searching gaze. But if, as has been said, man is to be judged more by his ideals than by his achieve ments, by what he desires to be more than by what he is, the soldier, the educator, the writer, the philanthropist must for the moment be forgotten, and the man, Stephen D. Lee, must be brought as clearly as possible into view. Physically robust, six feet tall, head shapely and set forward firmly on broad shoulders, gaze searching and somewhat rest less, countenance clear, kindly and serious, stride military, with toes outward and hands to the front-thus he appeared in his A. and M. College days. Resolution and nobility were stamped upon his mien and bearing. By the toss of his head and the jerk of his arms when alone, the students learned to read the signs of the times at headquarters, though these un conscious movements also often indicated that problems of other kinds were revolving in the brain of the President. In fact, General Lee was given to introspection; and, as if reflected from his early life and accentuated by the loneliness incident to much enforced separation from his invalid wife, an almost melancholy cast gradually settled on his countenance and a suggestion of sadness prevailed in the tones of his voice. WILLIAM-FIFTH GENERATION 153
He was fond of children, and with them seemed most at ease, even playful in their company. He rarely passed a child with out a cheerful greeting, and to one he knew well there was generally added a coin or some other token of his favor. His children friends were made happier each Christmas by his never failing rememberance of them. He was simple in his tastes as to food and dress, and very regular in his habits. He rose early in the morning and gen erally before breakfast did most important writing or made his plans for the day. To scholarship he laid no claim, often telling the students, for their encouragement, of what a struggle he had to get through at West Point. ·writing and speaking were dreaded by him in his earlier days at the college, but duty was never shirked, and by practice and perseverance he acquired a vigorous, almost graceful style, and became at length quite effective, often eloquent in speech. The growth of his intelligence, the broadening of his vision, and the steady ripening of his mental and spiritual faculties were manifest, the secret, indeed, of the increasing usefulness and influence of his life. From an exalted but rather limited conception of his duties as college president, always meaning to be just, but at times biased, blunt, and unyielding, his hori zon rapidly broadened and his judgment became surer, until in his administration the silk glove was generally worn over the steel hand. General Lee was the soul of chivalry and magnanimity. Slow to take offense, he resented warmly any aspersion of his in tegrity or honor. Too courteous wilfully to offend, he was also ready to accept an apology and to forgive and to forget a wrong. Toward women his bearing was always knightly, gen uinely respectful and extraordinarily appreciative. For them he demanded the right to vote, at least on questions involving property they owned,26 and for equal service equal pay with men. In cleanness of speech and life he was a Sir Galahad, whose blade was strong because his heart was pure. He trusted his fellowmen to his own loss and grief at times, but therein lay largely the secret of his success and of the hold he gained
26 Journal of the Mississippi Constitutional Convention of 1890. 154 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE on the hearts of thousands in war and peace. Scarcely a trace of insincerity or ostentation was in his mind or in his heart. Outright, upright, and direct in word and deed, he abhorred the dark and devious ways of politics and shunned entrance into its tortuous paths. Once his friends prevailed on him to enter the race for the Governorship of Mississippi, which he really had ambition to attain. But the demands upon a candidate seemed incompatible with his unobtrusive, honest nature, and he soon retired from the field, apparently in disgust. Unselfish and self-sacrificing it has been said was General Lee. For money he cared nothing except for the blessings he might therewith confer on his loved ones and for the sake of the causes that appealed so strongly to his beneficence and patriotism. When but a young lieutenant in the United States army on the frontier, this generous, unselfish trait in his char acter was strikingly displayed. A major in his regiment be came greatly attached to him and offered to give him outright fourteen thousand dollars, which he declared his relatives should not have because of their mistreatment of him. Young Lee positively refused to accept the gift, which he protested would be unjust to the family of his friend. How in later years he poured out his means like water in noble benefactions has previously been indicated. If to be childlike is to be great in the kingdom of heaven, General Lee's title to a kingly crown has no shadow of a flaw. Dauntless towards men, to his Maker he yielded the homage of a devout and reverent heart, with faith as simple and as strong as that of a little child. He was a man of prayer, and when he could not pray he was not right, as in nearly his own words aptly he expressed it. The first Psalm was one of his favorite passages of Scripture, evidently an epitome of the rnle of his own life. For nearly forty years he was a teacher in the Sunday school, taking special interest in that branch of church work. In the great revival of 1907, in Columbus, Miss., he took a very active part, sitting in the center of the platform, praying with the hundreds about the altar and teaching them with great tenderness and clearness the way of Christ. To his townsmen, who greatly honored him, and to whom he became very dear, the rememberance of him on Decoration Days and in that great WILLIAM-FIFTH GENERATION 1.55 meeting will doubtless remain most vivid and be cherished with the greatest satisfaction. His faults and foibles, which all men have, leaned ever to virtue's side, and what in him to some may have seemed harsh, perhaps unjust, was not so intentionally. Few men, if any, have ever lived who more loved their fellowmen than did General Lee, or sought more constantly than he to be just and true and helpful to all alike. As a further index of the spirit of the man, his ideals, pur poses, and sentiments, attention is again invited to his writings. They are valuable and interesting apart from the light which they throw upon the personality of their author, but indispen sable to that end. Numerous citations and extracts might readily be made in proof of this. Instead, a few paragraphs must suffice from his last address as Commander-in-Chief of the United Confederate Veterans, read to them, two weeks after his death, at the Birmingham Reunion in June, 1908. They will at least show to what altitude of thought and eloquence he rose as he prepared his last greeting to his old comrades. As has been well said, the address "throbs with the noblest sentiments of which the human heart is capable": "Since the war I have heard many addresses to Confederate veterans. Our orators have been rich in arguments to demonstrate the correctness of State rights views and the soundness of the interpretation of the Constitution held by Southern statesmen. They have displayed the firm historic basis of our political faith; they have spoken in comforting words of unexpected beneficent results of the war, of the preservation of the rights of the States in tbe Union, of the discipline of adversity which prepared us to meet the terrible race problem with unflinching courage, indefatigable patience, and united strength; they have taught us tbat the Confederate cause was not wholly lost, that the best fruits of the great conflict to the South when the master was freed from the slave, and the old icebergs of sectional hate were set adrift in the warm gulf stream of a new national patriotism. "Nevertheless it has not seemed the whole truth to me, that the Confederate soldier went into battle to vindicate a constitutional argument. He went to war because he loved his people, because his country was invaded, because his heart was throbbing for his hearthstone. Here was the land which gave him birth; here was his childhood's home; here were the graves of his dead; here was the church spire where he had learned it was not all of life to live nor all of death to die. No hostile foot should ever tread this consecrated ground except over his dead body. It was the prospect of invasion, that made the men of the border States with bleeding hearts go and cast their lot with the Confederacy. He who could have expected a Lee to do battle against Virginia or a Hampton to draw his sword against South Carolina has never learned the language of the human heart. Nothing but the most devoted love of country could ever have sustained the Confederate soldier in his unequal and terrible struggle. 156 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE
"These men fell bleeding and with broken swords before the altar of their country. Their reward was the imperishable knighthood of their service. I imagine that the knights of the Holy Grail never sought other reward than just to serve. The Confederate soldier was the flower of noble and heroic courage. Duty laid her kiss upon his brow and love of country folded him in her arms. He enriched the world in honor; he added to the spiritual riches of mankind. The memory of his deeds is the treasure of his people, incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not away. No noble action is ever lost, no brave deed shall ever pass away. They are written upon the everlasting pages of the universe, they are inscribed upon the heart of God. The mountains and hills shall be made low and there shall be no more sea, but nothing of moral worth shall perish. Upon the coral of such lives as these God's islands lift 'their fronded palms in air.' But if religion were superstition and faith were folly, if death ends all and icy night awaits the world, these men lived the only life fit to be lived. "To those who keep alive in loyal hearts the memory of the Confederate dead I would say these men chose the noblest part. This is the best life offers any man; to strive for the highest, the greatest, the bravest that he knows. Is it not better to achieve these things, even at the cost of life itself, than to purchase length of days by mean and sordid living, by cowardice or craft, by surrender of the fine ideals of manhood in base compliance to dishonor? In the heart of every man the everlasting has made answer. If the cause failed, the men were not lost. Looking beyond the little span of human life into the white light of eternity, what better could we have wished for the Confederate soldier than to have played his part as he did? He has left heroic memories that chasten and purify the hearts of all who shall come after him. He has lifted life above the low level of the commonplace into the realm of precious and immutable things, which abide above all change, beyond the reach of years ..... "Wonderful men those old Southerners were; great in counsel, great in battle, but greater than all in the integrity which felt dishonor like a wound. They would have fallen upon the sordid plunderers who in later times have infested public life like Elijah upon the prophets of Baal. I cherish the hope that our Southern blood will produce the type again-that with renewed prosperity we will again introduce into public life a class of men able and willing to devote themselves with pure and unwavering fidelity to the public service, and free from the all absorbing struggle for bread, which has been the portion of Southern men for so many years. May it be the lot of our children to perform the duty of free men in a republic, with as willing hearts as ours, but at no such fearful cost. "The keys of our Southern hearts were laid long ago in the hands of Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis. These two great souls before they passed from us gave us the same counsel. They advised us to accept loyally the results of the war, and to devote ourselves to the upbuilding of our wasted country. That counsel was accepted. The Confederate soldier has given to the government at \,Vashington the same faithful support which he gave to the government at Richmond. His patriotism has expanded its boundaries without losing its quality. He yields to no man in his love of the whole country and his devotion to her cause. In the war with Spain he gave proof that his sword was not asleep. It is all his country wherever the flag floats, which his ancestors filled with stars .... "We old soldiers are sitting in the twilight of life waiting for the evening detail; waiting for the shining angel "With things like chevrons on his wings." "We are the stragglers in the great march. The victory is already won, and our comrades expect our coming to share the glory of their triumph. In the vV1LuAM-FIFTH GENERATION 157 little time left us before we report to our great Commander, let us quit our selves like men. . . ." 21 VII. Of his place in history and the appraisement of his character and services, finally, let the following documents and extracts, supplementing what has been said and quoted, be further indi cation and corroboration: "To the Honorable Secretary of War-Sir: It is my sad duty to report that Commissioner Lieut.-Gen. Stephen Dill Lee died in this city at six o'clock this morning. The country has lost a good and great citizen and each member of the commission a dear friend. His last public utterance, an address of welcome to the Union Veterans of Lawler's brigade, assembled in reunion on the battlefield last Friday afternoon, the 22d, was an inspiration to love of country and devotion to its service." 28 "Knightly gentleman, chivalrous soldier, Christian man, he was beloved by a multitude, and it is a significant fact, that his last earthly service before making his final report to the Great Commander was his eloquent greeting to four regiments of Iowa and Wisconsin troops, old-time enemies whom he had not met for forty-five years. "Stephen Lee's heart was pure, his mind and motives dwelt on the mounts of high endeavor, and his being interpreted the truer, deeper meaning of the Christian ideal." 29 "Headquarters Mississippi Division, U. C. V., Jackson, Miss., May 28, 1908. Order No. 55: "It is my painful duty to announce that Gen. Stephen D. Lee, Commander :n-Chief of the United Confederate Veterans, died this morning at six o'clock in the city of Vicksburg. An illustrious commander and brave soldier, he dis played the highest qualities of courage and undaunted leadership. In all battles he fought and the campaigns in which he was engaged his splendid heroism was the pride of his battalions and the joy of his countrymen. We mourn the loss of a brave commander, and will cherish with patriotic devotion the memory of his heroic deeds and unselfish services of a distinguished citizen. "By order of "RoBERT LoWRY, Major-General Commanding Miss. Div., U. C. V. "J. L. McCASKILL, "Adjutant-General and Chief of Staff." "As a citizen with a character as pure as snow, as a Confederate soldier with a record equal to the best, as a husband, father, and brother measuring up to all the requirements, as an officer and consistent member of the Church, he lived a blameless life, and has gone to his reward universally loved and respected, leaving another great break in the ranks of the United Confederate Veterans." 31 "In peace the North loved him as well as did the South." 32

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE UNITED CoNl'EDERATE VE,TERANS We loved him in life and are true to his memory in death. As he com manded the respect of a nation who placed her flags at half-mast on the day of his funeral, so he commands our regard; therefore be it Resolved: 1. That this organization of United Confederate Veterans do hereby express to the world and to each other our esteem for him by rising with bowed heads. We feel deeply our loss. The South has been deprived of a knightly defender, the whole country of a patriotic citizen, and Mississippi of an adopted son of whom she was justly proud. 2. vVe declare our love for him as a Christian gentleman and citizen, whose life and character we commend to the generations who are to follow us as worthy of emulation. He was a man without guile, true to every duty that devolved upon him, and filling the Psalmist's description of a citizen of Zion: "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor." 3. We admired him as a soldier worthy of the cause for which he fought and bled, and as one of our comrades whose rise to distinction entitles him to be honored by the true soldiers of our country for all the years that are to come; the embodiment of chivalry, as knightly as any soldier who followed the banner of Charlemagne or planted the Roman eagle on conquered turret or tower, whose courteous manner to every foe challenged the admiration of his enemies. 4. We cherish his memory, so full of love for his fellowmen, fired with so much zeal for the uplifting of the youth of our land, so tender in manner toward his loved ones, beloved by them and by us. We tender our deepest sympathies to his family with the cheering comfort of having so glorious a heritage as to be the descendants of_Stephen D. Lee. 5. That the Adjutant-General be requested to communicate these resolutions to the Camps and send a copy to his family. Their adoption was made by rising vote.33

He was the Rector of the James Island Presbyterian Church and married Dorothea Smiser, Jan. 11, 1770. They had three children; 1 Capt. Jacob Hyleman Alison (1772- 1817), who married Margaret Regina Lee Lock wood in 1795 and had eight children. 2 Regina Alison, who died unmarried in 1816 and 3 Martha Alison of which no more is known. In 1809, after the death of her husband Major Stephen Lee, Dorothea Alison was listed in the Charleston Directory as Dorothea Lee, Planter, 96 Broad Street. She left a will, dated May 3, 1821 in which she mentions her children by both mar riages and her grandchildren, Dorothea Lee Lockwood and Joshua Lockwood, Jr. She died at 75 Broad.

Stephen Lee, as a Lieutenant, was made a prisoner by the British during the Revolution and was a prisoner of war on the British Schooner "Pack Horse" in Charleston Harbor.

Died on Saturday 7th inst. in the 58th year of his age, Stephen Lee, Esquire. Through life, an undeviating rectitude of conduct procured him many friends; he was a zealous and firm patriot; in private life he was beloved; in public universally respected and esteemed. Under a full pursuasion of the cer tainty that his indisposition would terminate his earthly exist ence, he preserved his dignity and firmness of mind, which innate sense of conscious rectitude could alone have inspired, and so tranquil was his exit that not one of his numerous friends who surrounded his dying bed knew his last moment.

LETTERS FROM JACOB HYLEMAN ALISON TO HIS STEP-FATHER MAJOR STEPHEN LEE (Now in the possession of Mrs. B. R. Alison, Carlowville, Minter, Ala.) To Major Stephen Lee May 5, 1795 My dear Sir: This being the first day that I consider myself fairly settled in the world, I conceive it my duty in the first place to be grateful to those who, by their tender care and unwearied attention to my Welfare and Interests, have introduced me into the world with such engaging Prospects. My face may not always bear the Smile of Complacency nor my head the Bend of Politeness, but I can boast of a sincere Heart and a Tongue that disdains Flattery, a tender and grateful Heart which has often considered the weight of your Obligations and only felt light when it could be certain that so disin terested a person would feel a competent reward in the Happi ness of the object of his care. These have been my sentiments, and to Deserve your care has been my study, and with these sentiments have I entered into Life. But you must not cease here, your advice may be often necessary to me and your Friendship most grateful, and tho I shall never have it in my power to make those returns to you which my Heart wishes, yet you have Children, and tho my Duty will call upon me to exert myself for their Welfare, yet I shall consider myself under double obligation if they should require my Exertions. STEPHEN-SECOND GENERATION 271
My Mother I should also address, but I consider her as my Mother, and include all I could say in that word. My Sister knows me and that is sufficient. I must therefore conclude. As you have always considered me as a son you will still do so, and give me such advice in my future share of life as you will think for my Welfare. I am and ever shall be your dutiful son, J. Alison N. B. We shall keep open house for the family. You must excuse my incorrect Epistle. Mr. Reed desired my attendance early, and I did not wish to postpone my writing.
To Major Stephen Lee December 18, 1798 My dear Father: I have to return you many thanks for your kindness in tak ing care of the things I left in town, and apologise for the trouble I gave you in putting them on board. They all arrived safe, as also Hercules with the articles sent by him. Nothing has happened with us worth relating, since I wrote last, but your information concerning my Mother's health has truly relieved my mind. I went to Capt. Saunder's today and pitched upon two gins, single-headed, as I think them preferable, and will send them down to the Ferry on Thursday morning. They are not, in point of workmanship, very capital, but they yield a large quantity of clean cotton per day; the large one, with two persons, 40 lbs., the small one 30 lbs., from Capt. Saunder's information. As you welf know that your success in Life gives me equal pleasure with my own, and that it adds to the Happiness of myself and Sister to assist in any of your Plans, I hope, my dear Sir, you will command all I can do in furthering of your ar rangements for the ensuing Season. I myself am in want of your advice With respect to our ensuing Crop, being but a young Planter and perhaps too sanguine. I wish you to temper my want of experience with your Information. Everyone of my Neighbors are determined to plant Cotton entirely as a 272 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE
Crop, but I wish to consult you upon the subject. Upon cal culating, we can plant between the two places 130 acres of good cotton land. I, however, hope you will not only give me your opinion in writing but that it will suit you to pay us a visit, where you will be received with the truest affection by J. Alison Margaret desires her love.
A LETTER-TO MISS REGINA ALISON IN CHARLESTON FROM HER BROTHER JACOB ALISON DATED AUGUST 21, 1812-WALTERBOROUGH, S. C. My Dear Regina: I sincerely thank you for your kind consideration and altho I had made some arrangements by which I could have got up, yet your offer is truly acceptable, tho not quite unexpected, as I know your affectionate Heart would not omit an opportun ity of offering your assistance. And when I heard that Josey was come it did not surprise me, as I had told Peggy I had a notion you would send your Horses up. I, having written to my Mother that I was unprovided, you see how your goodness of Heart raised expectations. I, however, soon had offers, from one of a sulkey and from others of Horses. Yours, however, I accept with Pleasure. The rain induced me to retain Josey one day longer than you wished, and as I cannot, from the state of the Ferry and Roads, send a cart with any safety, shall forward him on Horse to or near Rantoles Bridge. I had made an arrangement with Dr. Evans, before I heard from you, to send you 20 bushels of oats and 500 wt. I am to return them here. I wished to send more, but he did not want more, and the water was too high to cart any down for the next trip. But you shall have more as soon as I return. The state of the Roads also prevents a man going down with ten head of cattle. I hope he may soon be able to do so. I have written particularly to my Mother how we all are, and your anxiety as far as myself will be relieved. Our people are generally well and our Crops pretty good. The village is healthy. STEPHEN-SECOND GENERATION 273
We have had our Member of Congress, Mr. Lowndes, here for near a week, and from my conversation with him am inclined to think more favorably of the state of our Country than I had been enabled to do so from newspaper information. I wished to see little Mag better and shall go tomorrow. Margaret will write when she can, but Desires her Love to you and each and everyone of the family. And to hers I add every affectionate feeling a Brother can have toward a sister. May God bless you. Jacob Alison

Between the States, the Edisto Island Presbyterian Church furnished its Pastor with a house and forty acres of land in addition to his salary.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF REV. WILLIAM STATES LEE VVilliam States Lee, the youngest son of Stephen and Dorothea Lee, was born on the 22nd of July, 1793. His father was of English descent. He was the youngest son and next to the youngest child of Thomas Lee and his wife Mary. Stephen Lee was born January 21st, 1750, and married Dorothea, widow of the Rev. Hugh Alison. He died on the 7th of November, 1807. Thomas Lee was the son of Francis and Mary, born Feb. 6, 1710. As far as we have any record, the above Francis emi grated from England and settled in Barbados. He was prob ably one of three brothers who left England at different dates. Mrs. Love ( Flora Lee) of Virginia states to me, that there was a tradition in her family, that three brothers left England, one of them settled in Virginia, another in Canada, and the third went South but could not be traced. She insisted that the Carolina Lees were the descendants of the third brother, that a similarity of family names, strong likeness, and even tones of voices left her no doubt of the correctness of her supposition. These latter circumstances were confirmed by the testimony of several of her family who visited the island. Strange to say, during the year 1850, on a visit to Dr. Joseph Lee in Camden, I was informed that a Methodist minister from Canada who was there or had been there very recently in that town, made the acquaintance of Dr. Lee, and stated to him, the existence of a like tradition among the Lees of Canada, and expressed his belief that the Virginia, Canada and Carolina Lees were the descendants of the three brothers and consequently of blood. If this genealogical account tires or amuses you, you must endure it as one of the consequences, pleasant or unpleasant, of having asked for a sketch of a life, EDISTO ISLA 'D PRESBYTE RIA of which Hev. William Stales L ee was Rector from 1821 to 1872
STEPHEN-THIRD GENERATION 283 which has been a long one, but furnishing very few incidents of interest or importance, except to the writer and his nearest relation. Dorothea, wife of Stephen Lee, was a native of South Caro lina, but of German descent. Her father Paul Smiser, fled from despotic rule of the Dutchy of Hesse. He arrived in Charleston so poor as to be under the necessity of indebting himself to an individual of that city, for a certain number of years to repay the captain of the ship that brought him, for the expenses of his voyage. By the practice of industry and integrity, during a tolerably long life, he accumulated considerable property. Sometime after his settlement in Charleston, he met with a German lady, Regina H yleman. They became attached to each other and married. My grandmother by her mother's side was from Heidelberg and came to America for the purpose of visiting certain relatives, settled in Pennsylvania. The ship in which she sailed having been driven from her course by storms made the port of Charleston. Paul Smiser and his wife Regina had two children who arrived at maturity, viz: a son Jacob who married a Youngblood, and was killed while cross ing the river at Lerned's Ferry. He was an officer in a troop of calvary. The troop was surprised by a considerable troop of British and Tories. Being well mounted, he could have escaped, but would not attempt to cross the river until all of his men had left the dangerous position they were in. The delay was the cause of his death. He had scarcely reached the middle of the river when the enemy reached the bank, fired, and he fell from his horse and his body floated down the stream. A planter found it and had it buried. Having sent information to my grandfather with a request to know what should be done with the watch and purse found on the body, he was requested to send the watch to him and to distribute the money among the negroes who buried him. The above facts were told me by an old negro man whom I owned, who had, when a boy waited on his young master. In his age he wept while he related the circumstances and praised the deed, as if it had been a recent occurrence. The other child of Paul and Regina Smiser was a daughter, my mother, to whom under God, I owe my earliest religious training and feelings. My 284 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE early life was passed before the commencement of Sabbath Schools and the religious instruction given to children was by the parents, most frequently the mother alone. My father died on the 7th of Nov. 1807 when I was very young. He was nominally an Episcopalian, but whenever he did go to church ( as far as I can recollect) he attended with my mother, at the Independent or Congregational Church in Archdale Street, then under the Collegiate Pastorate of the Rev. Dr. Hollins head and Keith. His manner was retiring and silent. He was seldom with his family except at meals, and in the evenings, being closely engaged during the day, I think, in winding up some public and business affairs of which he had the charge. To my mother he appeared to entrust fully and with perfect confidence the management of the literary and religious in struction of the children, only interfering so far as to manifest an interest in their improvement. The first ten years of my life, or until my father's death I was placed in two or three different schools, apparently suited to my age and attainments. I was thought to be intelligent and apt to learn, whether the opinion entertained of my abilities and progress was or was not correct I will not pretend to decide. I will only say that my teacher and my family seemed to expect something more than ordinary of me. Many expectations originating in the affection or wishes of parents or friends, aided by a supposed precosity of intellect in children has been greatly or entirely disappointed by their subsequent life. Whitfield, when he had a son born to him, confidently predicted that he would have been an eminent and successful minister of the Gospel. The disappointment of such expectations is frequently the least evil results of the injudicious and incautious expressions of such hopes, in the presence and hearing of the children and amity is often excited and fears of failure and mortification would scarcely remain. Among those who appeared to agree with my teachers and family were my venerable friend and pastor Dr. Hollinshead and Dr. David Ramsey, both of whom gave me flattering letters of recommendation to the President of Princeton College. From the time of my father's death till the month of June, 1809, I was continued at the Charleston College ( no more at that time in fact than a grammar school) STEPHEN-THIRD GENERATION 285 then under the presidency of the Rev. Dr. Buist. At the time alluded to above, it was very suddenly determined by those who had authority over me, that I should accompany my half brother, Jacob Alison, and a part of his family to New York and as soon as possible after our arrival there be taken by my brother to Princeton. We sailed from Charleston the day after the resolution was adopted and arrived in New York in four days. In the same week we went to Princeton where I was examined. While my examination was in progress I heard Dr. Smith say to one of the faculty, with what I thought to be a very ominous smile, "Dr. Ramsey is a man of a very sanguine disposition." At the close of the examination I was asked what books I had read, etc., and was then requested to say if I would prefer taking a place in the Sophomore or Freshman class both half advanced. He stated that in some of the studies I was behind the former and in others ahead of the latter class, that it would require very great effort to keep pace with the former and that in his opinion become a disadvantage to me, but that I might determine for myself. I had the modesty and good sense to select the grade of Freshman. My Literary career while in college was gratify ing to my friends and satisfactory to the faculty. Thus I passed the bridge supposed to separate the boy from the man. In regard to religious concerns, I cannot but recall the period between 1809 and 1812 with emotions of change and sincere regret. Serious thoughts and feelings still continue to exist, but the world's pursuits and pleasures held a divided if not paramount dominion. I rarely ( if ever) omitted prayer and reading of the Scriptures but was none the less a devotee to the pleasures of the world. There were a small number of pious young men among the students whose society I sought. They met my advance very cordially and appeared much pleased to have me present at their meeting once every week for prayer and other religious exercises, but such was my inconsistency that they entertained ( I fear) very little confidence in my sincerity. Throughout the whole period of my college life there was a constant warfare. At times my convictions of sin and ingratitude and apprehension of the wrath of God were so agonizing, that despairing of ever be- 286 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE
ing anything but an unpardoned rebel, I would be almost brought to the conclusion that instant death would be pref erable to a life which would accumulate the materials call ing for severe punishment. At other times, I was delivered from the burden and induced to entertain a faint hope that I might be delivered from final condemnation by the infinite mercy of God in Christ Jesus. Of the manner in which this deliverance would be wrought out I had very imperfect and confused, if not erroneous ideas. Strange to say during all this period I never wholly abandoned the idea of being a minister of the Gospel. It was my expectation from childhood and though relinquished at times, as an impossibility for one who was so sinful and unworthy, it would return and be a comfort to me when resumed. At the close however of my college course, and at the time of my return to Charleston, I had arrived at the conclusion that such a course would be of hypocrisy and impiety and my thoughts were being turned to law as the business of my life. Being removed from the violent temptations to which I had been exposed and brought under the influence of pious society it pleased God to rekindle the desire of devoting my life to Him, Who had borne with me with such infinite condescension and mercy. Conversa tions with Dr. Hollinshead were made instrumental, I think, in enlightening my mind and convincing me that duty, safety, and gratitude claimed life's service to be devoted to the Lord "Whose blood cleanses from all sin," I resolved to cast my lot with the people of God and by the effectual teaching and aid of the Holy Spirit to seek salvation in the way of the ap pointment. I think that my state of heart and mind was cor rectly expressed by lines which I met with in print years afterwards, "I can but perish if I go, I am resolved to try, For if I stay away I know I must forever die." I felt that I was a helpless ruined sinner and that I must be saved by Christ or ruined forever. I told my venerable friend that I felt myself unworthy, that I did not dare to seek a place among his professing people. His reply was, "You must STEPHEN-TIIlRD GENERATION 287 come to Christ if you would be accepted feeling yourself unworthy. I would consider you unfit otherwise." I united with the Church shortly after this conversation. For many years after making a public confession, my peace and com fort were very fluckery; I even now feel that if I am ever saved it can only be a miracle of grace. Early in 1813 I com menced the study of Divinity under the direction of Dr. Holl inshead. Dr. Keith would occasionally recommend certain works and manifested a kind interest in my progress. He died very suddenly in the course of that year being struck with apoplexy while in his carriage. Toward the close of 1814 I was licensed to preach by the Association of Congregational Ministers, and preached my first sermon in the Bethel Church of St. Bartholomews Parish on the 25th. of December 1814. In an endorsement on the fl.y leaf of this sermon, I rendered thanks to God for having permitted me to begin the public duties of the ministry and besought His blessing on my min istration while he was pleased to continue it. I continued preaching in different churches occupied by the members of the Association. During the :first month of 1815, in May of that year, I think, I received a call from the Churches of Dorchester and Beach Hill, which I accepted and in the month of June began my duties there. Mr. Thomas Smith, a lineal descendent of Landgrave Smith, invited me to take up my abode in his house. Boarding could not be obtained in any of the families composing the congregation and as he refused to accept any compensation, I was obliged to ac cept his hospitality or relinquish the call. My residence in this family both at the Pineland and the Plantation, was ren dered as pleasant as affectionate Christian hospitality could make it. He was a man of sincere piety and although very deaf, he was a pleasant and instructive companion to any one who would take the trouble to use the means he em ployed of conversing with him. There was a slate and pencil or speaking with the lips close to his ear in a close, slow, distinct, and moderate tone of voice. He had read a great many religious books and remembered accurately what he had read so that he was a kind of walking library as far as his reading was extended. He was to me a warm, judicious 288 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE and candid friend, never hesitating to advise and even re prove me, if he thought it necessary to do either. Mr. John Rose, the other deacon was a good and pious man. His death was occasioned by a fall from a horse on East Bay Street, Charleston, a short time after it had been paved. He was taken up very much bruised and carried to the house at which he had been staying during a short visit to the city. As long as he could speak he continued testifying to the goodness and mercy of God and exhorting those about his bed to repent, be lieve and serve the Lord. God was pleased to make my ac quaintance with both of the venerable men of essential serv ice to me shortly after taking the charge of that church. I commenced a course of religious exercises intended for the instruction of the negroes who attended the church, which I continued during my residence there. After concluding the regular duties in the guiding and dismissing the congrega tion, I withdrew with the colored portion of my hearers, to the shade of a large oak, about 40 or 50 yards from the build ing and preached to them pretty much the same sermon that I had just preached to both races together but in plainer language and a style better adapted to their comprehension and sang and prayed with them and then dismissed them. As the whites were not prohibited attending the above services some would occasionally stand on the outside of the circle and appear to take almost as much interest in what was said as those for whom it was particularly intended. I also en couraged those who felt curious to visit me at my residence in their spare time with the permission of their owners. In the latter part of February 1816, I was ordained by the Con gregational Association in the full duties of the Ministry in the ancient building of which Dr. Howe, in his history of the Presbyterian Church in S. C. says, "The walls of this church are the same which were erected in 1700 so that it is one of the oldest church edifices if not the very oldest in the state," page 567. It has been my privilege to preach the Gospel in the commencement of my ministry in one of the oldest if not the very oldest church edifices in the state, and it may be per mitted me to finish my ministry on earth, in one among the very oldest Presbyterian Churches of the state. The Edisto STEPHEN-THIRD GENERATION 289
Church was probably organized between 1690 and 1700. The date of some part of its property is 1717. But to return, Feb ruary 29, 1816, I married Mary Canty Villeponteaux, young est daughter of Peter Villeponteaux and his wife, Sarah, ( born Lockwood). The former was a grandson of Zachariah Villeponteaux a member of the Rrst and earliest Huguenot families that emigrated from France after the avocation of the Edict of Nantes. He landed, I have heard, in New York, remained there a short time, and then removed to South Car olina, and settled somewhere in the vicinity of Goose Creek. It is said that the Brock Dwelling House which he erected on his plantation has on the front door the letters XV stamped on a brick about 3 or 4 times the usual size. Peter Villepon teaux died young leaving two daughters, Sarah and Mary, and a son Druselle who died in childhood. I remained in charge of the Dorchester church till May 1821. During that period I applied the means which appeared to me most proper ( with the blessing of God) for the advancement of Religion in the church, I had charge of in the neighborhood. For a consid erable part of the time I had one service in the church edi H.ce which was situated about a mile from Dorchester, and about four miles from my residence in Summerville, a second service in my residence after which a Sabbath School was attended to, and at night there was another service. After I became acquainted with the people in the neighborhood I made several preaching appoinbnents within a range of 4 or 5 miles from the village, in private houses or the Method ist Churches. These appointments at different periods and oc casionally twice in a week were tolerably well attended. The inhabitants were of different denominations, Independents, Episcopalians, Methodist and Baptist. As I was the only settled minister for 10 or 15 miles around, all who were curious attended our worship. So kind and liberal a spirit prevailed that at our communion service all the regular members of the different sects ( except the Baptist) united at the table of our Common Lord. In consequence of the smallness of the salary and the irregularity of the payments of parents and subscriptions were sometimes straightened but the Lord always sent in supplies larger, or smaller when He saw that 290 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE it was necessary to help. The people were not wealthy but very kind and affectionate. We had also a lecture service in my house on vVednesday evening of each week. I was obliged to keep a school to aid in the support of an increasing family. Here let me say that I differ somewhat from some of my Brethren on the propriety of the above measure. My opinion is that where God gives good health and a strong constitu tion, the teaching of the child and of his flock gives to a country minister a means of instructing them on religious subjects which he could not obtain in any other way. He must however determine to make the school subsidiary to the Pul pit. In other words, every study, every incident, every trans action connected with the school exercises must be made to enforce or explain some religious truths. The Bible ( if I may say) must be applied to in order to prove the correctness or incorrectness of ancient or modern views. Sectarianism must be wholly ignored, without the aid of the school, the min ister can rarely get access to the children of his charge; the opportunities afforded in the school for directing the minds of the pupils to religious truths in a pleasant and affectionate manner are almost numberless. Excuse my dwelling on this subject for so many lines but I have been a teacher of youth for many years and have had reason to believe that the in struction there given was of advantage in after years. Many incidents and conversations during my residence in St. George's Dorchester were deeply interesting to me, and af forded much instruction which God has rendered profitable to me in subsequent life. I was young at that time, and look back to it as a school in which I was taught many useful lessons. As my family increased, I found that it was more difficult to support them without going into debt, without the reasonable prospect of being able to pay them. During that latter portion of 1820 my wife and I had several serious conversations on the subject of our future prospects. I was satisfied the people could do little more than they were doing without finding our support a great burden to them. We therefore submitted the matter to God for the direction we needed. We then "I may say solemnly" resolved that if the Lord did not open a way for us to obtain a support in the way STEPHEN-THIRD GENERATION 291 of ministerial duty in the course of a year in the Low Country, we would sell what little property we had and move into one of the upper districts, farm there and endeavor to find an opening to preach the Gospel, and advance the cause of Christ. In January 1821 I think, a young acquaintance called at my residence. He had just come from transacting some business on one of the Islands. In the course of conversation he asked me if I would be willing to leave Dorchester and after a while came out more plainly and said that he had been requested to sound me out and know if I would accept a call from the Edisto Church. I replied that I would not give an answer to such a question. He said that they would call me but did not like to be refused; my reply was that I could say no more than the following: If they gave the call I would make the subject a matter of prayer to God for di rection; if on reflection it appeared to be my duty to accept it, I would do so, but if my mind was not satisfied on the point I would certainly but respectfully decline the call. In March the call was sent to me and my reply by letter was an inquiry as the number, conditions, and dispositions of the people and the healthfulness of the Parsonage which they offered me as a residence, etc. A satisfactory reply was given to all of my inquiries by the committee and I accepted their invi tation to become their pastor, asking their prayers to be united to my own that God would make the connections be tween us the means of promoting His Glory. I appointed a Sabbath about the middle of May to visit the Island and preach to them as a preparatory step to making arrangements for the removal of my family. Before finally leaving my first charge I must run the risk of taxing your patience by the men tion of one or two little incidents which have exercised great influence over my life. Before my marriage, while residing with my venerable friend, Thomas Smith, one Sabbath morn ing I had walked into the piazza several times to observe the state of the weather which indicated heavy showers; I had four miles to ride to the church and apprehended getting wet to the skin, before I reached the house of God. In one of the above visits to the piazza I felt a hand laid gently on my shoulder, accompanied by the words, "Do not be afraid. God 292 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE will send as many as He intends you to do good to." Mr. Smith had certainly mistaken the cause of my anxiety, but the idea of God's regulating all my concerns and those of His church, and the needlessness of anxiety on my part were deeply fixed on my mind and have repeatedly through my life been re called with soothing and quieting influence. Another inci dent which may perhaps be thought to be tinctured with superstitution but which you raise to a course of practice rarely reported from was this: on a very hot Sabbath I con cluded it was useless to ride 4 or 5 miles to the church, as I would not have any hearers, as I expected there were no persons at the church. I did not feel easy that this silent com pact between pastor and people should exist, especially as the day was not so bad, but that a greater zeal could have overcome the difficulties. On the next Lord's day it really rained through the whole day. I began to feel God would not allow us the privilege of public worship as he did not appear to value it sufficiently. The third Sabbath was cloudy and showery. I began to feel that it was much like a judgment on us as a church. You may perhaps think it a superstitious feel ing, but I determined to go whatever might be the weather I encountered. On my way I passed through a plantation and several of the colored people followed me. I went through the service as to a crowd. The next Sunday the day was fair and there was a full attendance and gave notice "the silent compact if it did exist must come to an end; the congrega tion need not fear again the absence of their Pastor for if God gave me strength and health I would be in my place whether they were or were not in theirs, and I have endeavored to keep my word and rarely if ever found an empty house, this has been my life practice and the people among whom I have labored, have, I think, been induced to disregard threats of rain in a good degree; there have been at times but few, but I trust "The Lord" Who does not despise the day of small things, has been with us on such occasions. In May 1820, I preached my first Sermon on Edisto Island to an attentive audience, the idea of the "New Minister" drew out more than usual and called forth greater attention, be that as it may. The Service was solemn and impressive. I STEPHEN-THIRD GENERATION 293 returned to Charleston on Monday and in eight or ten days removed to the Island Edingsville, which was not yet fin ished. It was a plain building but as good as the time al lowed. At this time there was no church edifice in Edings ville; both congregations, Presbyterians and Episcopalians, worshipped in an old schoolroom, the ministers officiating al ternately and both congregations attending generally. During the Summer of 1821, I attended once a month in the church on the Island to the Colored people, catechysing and instruct ing orally the applicants for church membership and return ing to the village and attending to my duties in the after noon. There existed great harmony among the members of the congregations, but not surprising as the families were closely linked in relationship of blood relation or marriage through the whole community. A circumstance however oc curred during the summer which threatened the destruction or alteration of their kind feelings. When the Rev. Mr. G or I did not go to the Island to attend the Colored persons we sat under each other's preaching with the members of our respective congregation. On one occasion I preached on a peculiar doctrinal subject I believe. Predestination which I would not have thought to be objectionable, even if my mind had been called to the joint attendance of the two congre gations, as it was one of the 39 articles, to which every Epis copal Minister is obliged to subscribe. I was mistaken, as I found out the next Sabbath. Mr. G. was present and as he officiated on the next Sabbath morning and I had no engage ment we met in the same building as at other times. He began his sermon with a warm and distinct statement that he had been compelled to listen to the utterance of doctrinal views which he considered dangerous to the people of his charge. He felt it therefore his duty to denounce it as such and also to show its unsoundness. I sat and listened to the discourse with quietness and resolved at once that the fire which had burned so fiercely should go out for want of fuel. About one fort night or 3 weeks after, I was walking on the beach, and was joined by a member of the Episcopalian congregation, who very soon remarked that "I had given a challenge which was accepted and then drawn back." I had so entirely forgotten, 294 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE or I could not understand to what he alluded. He then, stated that I had given a challenge on a doctrinal subject, and their minister had answered it and I had been silent ever since; "that they considered my conduct as an acknowledgment or defeat."! must confess I was strongly tempted, but I replied as mildly as I could, that I could not have imagined an Epis copal minister could have been offended at a doctrine laid down in the Articles of his own church, that I was not aware of stating it more strongly than it was declared in that Ar ticle, that I had been greatly surprised at the attack made upon me, but determined it should stop there as far as I was concerned. I reminded him of the interlinking of the families of the community and the harmony which had existed, and what might be the consequences of the two ministers carry ing on a violent and bitter controversy. I then stated that if he or any of his people derived any satisfaction from the thought of my acknowledging defeat, they were perfectly welcome to enjoy it, as I was conscious of the correctness of the course I was pursuing in refusing to scatter fire brands in the midst of relative friends. The matter ended there I suppose as I heard no more of it, and Mr. G. and I acted to each other as we had done before the circumstance occurred; he resigned his charge in a few months after, and moved to Charleston and died of yellow fever the following summer. You will excuse my being particular but it is the first and only collision I ever had with a minister of a different persuasion and shows it requires two to make a quarrel. In the follow ing year I commenced a week day evening lecture on Wednes day, at one or two private houses until in the course of the next summer ( 1823) I was required to use all the houses of the congregation in town, reserving to myself the right to occupy the house of an aged member who could not go out at night, twice to once in the other houses. The lectures were well attended, the entree and piazza well filled both Epis copalians and Presbyterians. In 1825 or 26, when our village church was completed and occupied on the morning and afternoon of the Sabbath, the weekly lectures still continued in private houses. I was in formed by one of the Elders, that the members of the other STEPHEN-THIBD GENERATION 295 congregation wished to attend the lectures but feared they might crowd or force the Presbyterians to keep away by oc cupying their places. The Elder thought they ought to have the opportunity, as they wished it and if I would consent to the change, he would see that the church was well lighted. It was made, and from that time there were three services on the Sabbath in the church, and one on Wednesdays in the same place; the church was well filled on both evening serv ices. My evening lectures, until I moved into the church, were not written, but studied and then presented in what words came uppermost. I cannot account for the fact that in the pulpit I have seldom attempted to preach any but a written discourse, while to the same people on Sacramental occa sions or a Funeral service or to a colored congregation even with whites present I have felt no hesitation in speaking ex tempore. I think ( never having kept a diary) I may be in correct as to dates, it was about 1826 or 1829 I was able to form a Bible class made of ladies, married and single, to about 20 in number. We met on Thursday afternoon and after prayer I read a portion of the New Testament previously studied by the class, made a few remarks on it and questioned in reg ular order; the class used Barnes' notes and any help they could get. I ordered such information as my greater number of commentaries enabled me to prepare, concluding with singing and prayer, occupying about one hour apparently pleasing and profitable and attended with punctuality. All the members of the class were members of the church, or became such. I also attempted a class of males, but it fell through very soon. Before 1830 several of my own children required school ing and I undertook their instruction myself. This added to requests from some of my own congregation and some of the Episcopalians that I would take their children; I found it difficult to refuse and in a few months had as many pupils as my small schoolroom would accommodate made up from both congregations. After a while I had to take boarders. I closed my school several times but had to reopen it in a few years. 296 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE
God had given me a strong constitution and I had no ap prehension of its breaking down; it did hold out longer than many persons believed it would have done. My duties at the commencement of 1830 were as follows: School for five days in the week from 9 A. M. to 2 P. M. On Sabbath I had the colored persons at my residence, that is, candidates for church membership, for one hour before morning service; then at tended to it. After the whites were dismissed, I preached to the colored persons alone, who remained in their places; at tended to the afternoon service; then took some part in the Sunday School by opening with prayer and talking occa sionally to the children; then the evening service closing a little after 9 P. M. and returning home so tired and excited I frequently could not sleep until after midnight; to those ef forts were added the Wednesday lectures and Thursday Bible class; this course was continued with little vacation until 1857 when it pleased God to allow me to break down. You have reason to remember that year and I cause to remember with gratitude the kind assistance of several of my brethren who worked for me when I was unable to work myself and al lowed me to rest and I resumed my duties about the end of the year; since then I have never been able to attempt the same amount of duty. Between 1830 and 1840 several incidents of great impor tance occurred. In 1833 the Lord laid on me the greatest do mestic affliction a man can endure. My dear wife, Mary, died after a lingering sickness; her end was peaceful, and I be lieve her change was most happy. In the latter part of 1836 and first half of 1837 three or four Elders were removed by death in quick succession, and in the summer of 1838 ( I think) eight members of the congregation were called away suddenly by the wreck of the Steamer Pulaski on her voyage to New York. In the following spring Messrs. I. I. Murray, William Seabrook, General William G. Bayward and William M. Mur ray were elected and ordained elders; vacancies again oc curred, Mr. J. 0. Mikell was elected and ordained elder in 1843, and in 1859 or 60 Messrs. John Townsend and A. I. Clarke were ordained to fill further vacancies. William Sea brook and William G. Bayward died; the latter had removed STEPHEN-THIRD GENERATION 297 from the Island some years previously. Their deaths occurred at the commencement of the late disastrous war. A revival followed or rather accompanied the visit of Rev. Daniel Ba ker and other ministers in 1831. In 1832, a large number were added to the membership of the church; and as far as I know their course, they have with very few exceptions ( if any) kept on in the way entered upon. Between 1840 and 1850 my du ties were nearly the same; my health and strength continued and it pleased God to give me the heart to continue my ef forts in His service. In 1847 I married a second time, and I gratefully record the goodness of the Lord in giving me a second time a truly Christian wife, Mrs. Henrietta C. Gail lard, the widow of Mr. T. Gaillard of St. John's Beckley; she was the eldest daughter of Sanford Barker and H. C. Gail lard. She who became my wife had been educated in a strict ly Episcopal family, where she became a Christian indeed. Her views of the spiritual family of Christ kept pace with her growth in Grace, continuing in the communion of the church of her youth she loved all as Christians who in her belief loved the Lord Jesus. Our wedded life was of short duration, but very happy, if devoted love, and all the kind and self denying offices produced by it, rendered the similarity between two human beings complete, then she was another but the same with my first partner. God has been very gracious to me in these allotments. She died on the 3rd. of November, 1850, 12 hours after giving birth to our son, Henry Barker Lee. Between 1850 and 1860 domestic bereavements fol lowed each other in quick succession. The Lord, no doubt, saw I needed them, and did not withhold the rod; in the midst of judgment He remembered Mary and I can say, while He re moved earthly friends, He Himself drew me nearer to Him self. Between 1850 and 1857 my two brothers, my two sons, and a daughter-in-law, died; in 1862 and 1863 my only re maining sister and my daughter Elizabeth died. In 1862 or 1863 one nephew and two grand-nephews were killed in the short space of two weeks in Virginia. My own health sensibly declined, but the frail tabernacle is still sustained. By the death of my two sons, their families were left need ing my aid; the education and support of my two eldest grand- 298 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE sons were attended to until they were prepared to enter Franklin College. God enabled me to act in a like manner towards my son Joseph's two children for a shorter time until their mother thought it desirable to remove them from my family and habitation. During the period I have been record ing, until 1859, my duties and efforts continued as they have been, with short intervals for many years. In the close of 1861, the condition of the country and especially of the section of Carolina, required me to remove with my family into Edge field "District." The people of my charge were scattered into different parts of South Carolina and Georgia, being thus sep arated from them and thereby prevented from enjoying with them the public means of Grace. I attempted to reach them by letters addressed to the heads of families, in which the younger members were particularly addressed and advised and instructed; in the course of a year the use of this means ceased in consequence of the irregularity of the mails and frequent removals of the families from place to place. I attended oc casionally the Baptist church in my neighborhood, and was requested to assist several times in the services. There was no Presbyterian Church near my residence than that at Beach Island and God was pleased to bring me into connection with it for a few months. The venerable Elder of that church, Sam Clark, visited me, and requested me to spend every other Sabbath with them. I consented to do so thinking my health sufficiently re-established. The distance between our resi dences was about ten or twelve miles. He sent for me on Sat urday and I usually reached them about sunset. I became his guest ( and in a measure) his family chaplain while there. The character of Mr. Clark for piety and hospitality were exem plary. On those occasions I performed the usual services, in the building then occupied by the congregation, before din ner, returned to his house, dined and then went to the old building formerly occupied by the congregation to preach to a large assembly of colored people, returned to Mr. Clark's residence and after a night's rest, was sent comfortably home on Monday, before noon. This course was continued for a few months but was brought to an end by my undertaking to do ( I think) too much. On one occasion a sacramental season, STEPHEN-THIRD GENERATION 299
I was sent for on Friday; the preparatory service was at tended to on Saturday, after which I assisted the session in examining a colored candidate for membership, baptized the candidate on Sunday and went through the usual service, ad ministered the communion and attended as usual in the af ternoon to the colored congregation, returned home on Mon day. My health failed, and I was obliged in a short time to relinquish my work. During my residence in Edgefield, I oc casionally assisted the Rev. I. R. Dow, who was then in charge of the Presbyterian church in Aiken. In 1865 he resigned his charge and the church being closed for a few Sabbaths, I un dertook the performance of the service on the afternoon of every Sabbath. This engagement was terminated in 1866 by the necessity of my returning to Edisto Island to recommence my duties there. Very soon after the cessation of hostilities, I wrote to one of the Elders stating my readiness to return to my post of duty if there was any possibility of assembling a congregation. His reply was discouraging from the unsettled state of the colored people. In the latter part of May or be ginning of June, I received a letter from another Elder in conjunction with the one who had previously written request ing me to come as soon as possible as there was serious appre hension entertained that the colored persons ( many of whom were strangers ) were making efforts to take possession of the church and its property, which it was thought my presence and resumption of pastoral duties need alone prevent. I made immediate efforts to comply with the summons, requested that an appointment might be published, that with Divine per mission I would recommence my duties as Pastor on the 3rd. of June. Before my arrival Mr. Townsend had obtained permission from General Howard to take possession of the church and property for the former owners; this he delayed doing until my arrival. On the appointed Sabbath, I went to the church with a few of the white members, male and female; on our arrival we found the building crowded with colored persons, who seemed inclined to keep possession by protracting the duties in which they were engaged by a suc cession of speakers. On the arrival of the Federal Officer in Command of the Island I went into the church accompanied 300 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE
by him and the white present. As there was a man speaking, I took my seat on one of the benches in the aisle and as soon as he closed, I rose and claimed the building and property for the former proprietors on the authority of General Howard. I held firmly, and urged them to make no resistance to doing what was right. As soon as I closed my remarks, one of the colored leaders ( there were three in the pulpit) answered, complimented the spirit of my remarks and stated that as loyal citizens who had used the building while unoccupied by others; they were ready and willing to relinquish it to the aged Pastor and Proprietors, who now claimed it. His address was neat and conciliatory; he was followed by another in sim ilar style. The colored congregation was then dismissed and retired in a body; the whole congregation, few in numbers, took their places. As the hour was late and thunderstorm threatened, the service was confined to singing and prayer, and reading a portion of Scripture, prayer and the Benedic tion. We have now very few colored members. During the summer of 1866, I moved to Edingsville; our religious service was confined to the Sabbath and confined to that place. As only a fraction of each congregation had been able to return to the Island, the Episcopal minister and I with the cordial consent of our congregation agreed to unite; performing our appropriate services in our respective buildings alternately. At this request I drew up a schedule for the summer, and a copy was placed in each building in a conspicuous place to prevent confusion. In the winter of 1866 and 67, I officiated on the Island, and by the return of a good many families to their homes during the summer previous when we returned to the village the services were given up attended to morn ing and afternoon; the night services were given up as all the means of lighting the building previous to the war had dis appeared. The Sabbath school was recommenced with scarce ly a dozen children; a small library was collected by dona tions of individuals and several churches and a prayer meet ing on each Wednesday afternoon was begun and tolerably well attended. We have not been able to attempt any more, in consequence, partly, of the scattered condition of our people and the great scarcity of means. During the time between our STEPHEN-THIRD GENERATION 301 return and the present 1871 we have had the Lord's Supper regularly administered and have had some additions to our membership. From March 1870 to the present March 1871, we had seven young people in the prime of life to unite with the church. I hope it can be said they have given themselves to the Lord. I have been invited to baptize the children of Epis copalians and bury their dead. During the past year they have been without a pastor, having service on the Sabbath performed for them by a missionary ( the Rev. William Pren tis) once in each month. At all other times, they have attend ed regularly, in the services of the Presbyterian church. At all of our communions they have attended with us and united with us. Some, no doubt kept away but they are few. A Christian spirit appears to prevail throughout the communi ty. In no boastful spirit I hope, I can say, that I have the love, and confidence of all of both churches. We have lost by death but one adult member of our church and congre gation since 1860, and very few infants. In 1871 I am approaching the completion of my 78th year. My general bodily health is tolerably good, but my sight and hearing is gradually failing. My sense of smell had been al most gone for some years back. My warmest gratitude is due to God for immeasurable mercies continued through a long life. On Monday, March the 5th, by a change in the constitution of the church, the Anniversary Meeting of the Corporation took place. I deliv ered to the assembled members a brief review of the past 50 years. Not one of those who gave the call 50 years before was there; their sons and grandsons were occupying the places which they had vacated by death, and gave their aged Pastor a solemn and deeply interested attention. Of the two oldest members of the congregation present on Monday, one was in college and the other a boy at school, when I took the charge of the church in compliance with the invitation of their Progenitors. It might be interesting to you to know what was the state of the church when I took charge of it and what had been the number of members added to the communion list during my pastorship. In 1821 there were be tween 20 and 25 members, and from 5 to ten colored. The 302 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE records were burned a few years before if any had been re ported. Between 1821 and 1876, whites 282, colored 380, to tal 662 members admitted. Between 1821 and 1831, whites 10, colored 37, total 47 Between 1831 and 1841, whites 46, colored 108, total 154 Between 1841 and 1851, whites 19, colored 121, total 140 Between 1851 and 1861, whites 20, colored 107, total 127 Between 1861 and 1866, War and dispersion. Between 1866 and 1871, whites 14, colored, none. The emigration of both white and colored from the Island during the whole period has been constant and great. During the whole of my ministry from 1816 to 1871 I have married 78 couples. FOURTH GENERATION CHILDREN OF MAJOR PAUL SMISER H. AND 1ST WIFE JANE (MARTIN) LEE Major Stephen Lee, Thomas Lee 1.

LETTER TO DOROTHEA LOCKWOOD FROM HER UNCLE, REV. WILLIAM STATES LEE Eding's Bay July 17th, 1822 Miss Dorothea Lockwood Charleston So. Carolina. Dear Dorothea In a letter to your GrandMother I requested her to inform you that I had one in progress from you. But as I have de stroy' d that I now commenced as we say in Latin de nova which means in English anew. If I was to make any excuse for my long silence, you would get very little more in this letter, for I have a long string of them, some of them worth something and others worth nothing. I therefore think it best to pass them by in silence. I am sorry to find that your review of the literary pursuits of the last year should have brought you so near the border of despair: But would recall to your mind the old proverb "Rome was not built in a day". You have many avocations, and in consequence of the plan on STEPHEN-F01JRTH GENERATION 309 which you commenced, your progress must necessarily be slow. The books that you have been reading may have added if I may use the expression to your real intellectual possessions, while they may have given you but few of those ideas which as current coin are in daily use. Your motto must be "Per severance", which in time will overcome the difficulties you feel at present. I cannot lay my hand at present upon your last letter, and can therefore only answer it in general. I observ'd while reading it several errors but suppose they must have escaped your eyes, and therefore need no particular comment. Our little Caroline who has been very ill is now quite well again, and most of the late sick are either recover' d or on the recovery. My duties in preaching are not as great as I had expected they would be, as Mr. Wilson has arriv' d and at present preaches one half of the Sabbath in the same building. I will leave this letter open until I hear of an opportunity, so good bye for the present. 18th An opportunity has just offer' d and I have almost run home from a neighbours to finish my letters. We are all well and peaceable. Give our love to all friends and say to your Mother that Mary intended to write but could not. I remain your Afft. Uncle Wm. States Lee
LETTER FROM DOROTHY LEE LOCKWOOD LOGAN TO HER MOTHER CAROLINE DOROTHEA LEE LOCKWOOD (In possession of Mrs. Howard F. Noble.) Alabama 22nd. Febry. 1834 Dear Mother We entered that part of the State of Alabama inhabited by Indians, about 11 O'clock, crossed a nice bridge over the Chattohochie River which carried us from the town of Co lumbus, over the boundry between Georgia and Alabama. I was surprised to see settlements from the time we left Walter- 310 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE borough all along the roads, every day we have to buy corn and fodder. In Georgia the settlements are scarcely one half mile apart-we are now about six miles from Columbus where I left a letter but did not find one. I hope to find one in Montgomery. Just over the river are about 12 or 14 small new houses built, inhabited by white families and we have seen several other white settlements and are now camped in sight of one; an old lady with her spectacles on was in the cow pen milking 2 cows in a nice tin bucket. Mr. Logan begged her to sell some and she said she had none to spare but as soon as he told her he had an old mother along he wished it for, she consented to spare some-Mama was glad to hear it for passing the pen she said, "Those people will have a nice supper tonight." We passed Indians all the way, 5 or six have passed us just now. Some are elegantly dressed, some are drunk, many carrying bottles of liquor, men and women we saw some of the Indian tents scarcely more than sheds made of bark-there were many Indians walking about the streets of Columbus-women with their children tied on their backs walk faster than our wagons. The roads are very bad; we were detained more than once while the fellows cut trees to prize the wheels of the loaded wagons out of the bog, we hear that yesterday 2 Indians were fighting in Columbus and one stabbed the other and killed him; they do not meddle with us. One of the great men, I suppose from his dress was lying at the side of the road fast asleep, flat on his back, a negro man sitting by him and 2 horses tied along side, about an hour after, they passed us on horse back, the Indian balancing on his horse, so drunk. The black man leading the way or riding in front and talking to him but the language being different from ours I do not know what they said. While we were kneeling on the grass at family worship tonight a gay dressed Indian man, came so lightly up on horse back we did not know till we got up from prayer that he was at our fire. Soon as we got up he turned his horse to the wagon and I saw him making signs to Joseph as if drinking. Joseph said, no whiskey, none, none! then he rode off. We heard such a firing of guns at Fort Mitchell that we recollected this is Washington's birth day. STEPHEN-FOURTH GENERATION 311
Sunday 23rd. A delightful day, the birds sing beautifully! The sun shines bright, we have had spring weather since we left Barnwell. Along the roads in Georgia we saw many large orchards, all the peach and plum trees are in bloom. Yesterday little Cathy said, "do Mama make a pocket for me," I put one in her frock before I went to bed last night. This morning when I went out of the tent, she was picking beautiful wild flowers, pink and blue Sweet Williams and bean flowers and little green leaves and filling her pocket with them. Mr. Logan said she was taking out the green leaves and said "Oh do Mama let them be in mine pocket pocket tada". I took out all but the pretty flowers and told her she could keep her pretty flowers and she jumped off in high glee. 24th. Yesterday 7 wagons passed us travelling on Sunday, some to Lunds, some to Maringo Counties, very few Indians, as we were only 6 miles from Columbus and they are not allowed to trade there on Sunday. Two young men stopped to camp near us and called to see us and have been travelling in company today; they are Mr. Gordon with 15 negroes going from North Carolina to Green County in this State and a young companion "Laval" I think, going to purchase. Many Indians passed and repassed us all day. They are very inoffen sive; I am much assured to see their dresses are so elegant and singular, with fine legs. The women, many have silver earrings all around their ears, some have children tied to their backs, many of both sexes ride on horse back and have negro slaves attending them. Some of their settlements are very comfortable with orchards and cattle but some only sheds. Mr. L. was so unwell with a violent sick headache and a bite on his leg which gave him fever. that he took some medi cine and went to bed without supper and I put a poultice on his leg. While we were at supper, James said we were near a dram shop crowded with Indians, he had scarce said so, before little Wm. whispered to me, there is a drunken Indian lying down at that fire near here, where Mary is cooking. Mr. C. went to him, hollered at him to get up and go away. Mr. L. called from the tent, "dont talk to him long, put the whip to him if he does not instantly move." I heard them pulling the poor fellow to the road 3 or 4 yds. distant, and suddenly 312 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE he screamed as if much insulted. I thought we would soon hear a fight but the noise ceased and they told me one of the mules kicked him. Our larger wagon is always just driven one side of the road to avoid unnecessary labor for the horses. I hear the drunken Indians passing every now and then since I came to bed and asking Richard for whiskey, as soon as he insists he has no whiskey they go off. Some of them go singing along, it is well the back of our tent is turned to the road or they may walk in for whiskey tho the tent would have to be unpinned ( the door). I hear them making a great noise at the store, but I feel as easy as I did in the 3rd. story of Father's brick house, as Mr. L. is at my elbow if there should be any disturbance, but I expect none. Good night I must go to bed. 25th. I went to sleep and everything was quite at the time, soon after I stopped writing. As we got in the Carriage this morn in---said, "well we are doing well to get off so early and Mr. L. well. Mr. C. said we had done well only in one thing, that his Aunt Logan had not slept last night and observed to her. "I am always sleeping in that wagon along side of you and we ought not to hear late talk and wake up if you feel uneasy." I said, it is possible you did not sleep at all, she said she did not close her eyes to sleep a wink. We both felt sorry for her, but as we rode along, could not help smiling at her remark. She said-Oh such hideous yells! from that house the wind so high, they came so awfully to my ear! I thought some time when the blinds rattled, some one was opening them and that war hoop! how dreadful! I was thinking of Tomahawk and scalping knife, and then if B. should be ill in such an awful place, what would we do? I said, did it continue all night and did they give the war hoop. She said she believed till midnight and she did not know if it was a war hoop but she heard them hoop. I felt very different from her, I would have slept in either wagon, for they were both drawn close up to the tent of Mr. L. and Mr. C. on either side and no mean Indians passed us after ten o'clock, tho they were at the house in sight, at a distance out in the woods. Mr. Daniel Jordan and Mr. Latham are to sup with us; they are very gentlemanly and polite young men. They have walked every foot of the way, 600 miles, to encourage their negroes STEPHEN-FOURTH GENERATION 313 they walk with them and have near 200 miles more to go to Green County in this State. They will travel all the way with us as they go a greater distance. Mr. Latham saw a flock of partridges yesterday, took up a stope and very capably knocked one down and brought it to the carriage for the chil dren who were delighted and their grandmother helped them to eat it, it was hot. I forgot to tell you that at our first encampment in this Indian Nation ( Sunday afternoon) another gentleman besides those camped in sight, sent to tell Mr. L. he was from his neighborhood in Dallas County and would come to our tent after supper. Mr. L. went immediately and brought him to supper. He was Mr. Maul, he lives about 6 miles from us and he is gone to see after some property in Georgia. He told Mr. L. the best road and how to avoid Tod's Hill which is said to be the dread of travellers. I believe tis after we leave Montgo mery, which I hope we will pass through on Friday and find a letter. You are never absent from my thoughts when I awake, but the conviction that I am in the way of duty makes me con tented and ----. When ever I see some beautiful new wild flowers I pluck them and put them in my portfolio for Mr. Beekman, if I ever see him. I thought of him when walking on the lake at the north when Mr. Latham knocked down the bird and we have those black billed geese he gave me from Barnwell; they excited great curiosity. Three times in Georgia people came out to the road to see them having heard from travellers before us about them. One negro woman popped her head in our carriage window ( when we stopped to water the horse) and said, "I heard mam you have some comikle fowls," my mistress begs to see them, we told her they were geese and her Mrs. was welcome to go to the wagon ahead and see them. Some men offered Mr. L., four dollars for a pair several times. Tell Mr. B., Mr. L., has lost 2 dogs with the distempra and now poor Dido ( that he gave him) has it very bad but he has it hauled in the wagon as she is unable to walk fast. She eats meat but nothing else. One day she would eat nothing at all but he thinks her better now. 314 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE
26th. Still among the Indians. These young men are very polite. They run to help when ever our big wagon stalls, which is two or 3 or 4 or 5 times and more every day. The roads are very bad in this nation. They run to help us in and out of our wagon and when little B. is tired of the wagon, help to carry him. They will continue with us till near home. All this letter has been written in the "Indian Nation." We have 18 miles more tomorrow and if the roads are better we will cross the line creek tomorrow I hope. We travelled 12 or 14 miles today. 27th. Waiting in the tent for our supper, 'tis raining, our supper is cooking in the rain. We are on level ground and all our wagons near. The young men in speaking distance but the rain came up and stopped our conversation. Our fires are bril liant. The last two encampments were in oak land, no pine to kindle fire quickly. I wish to get up very early at 4 O'clock in the morning, in hopes to peep Montgomery tomorrow which is 16 miles from here. We are still in the Indian Nation but not far from Line Creek which is the limit of their Nation. It is 75 miles through. I hope we will be at home on Tuesday and my next letter will be from home. Love to my dear Father, Brothers, Sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles and friends. Your affate. Child, All Well, D. Logan. 28th. Have passed the Line Creek, are out of the Indian Nation. Thirteen miles from Montgomery, stopped to buy corn. Mr. L. has some idea of leaving part of our load in Montgomery and have it sent on after us. You see how neces sary his precaution about overloading the wagons and our meat has been decresing every day, for the negroes had a plate of bacon every day while it lasted and now a ham every day. Still too much load for our poor dumb animals. Our negroes don't mind the walking now. Nanny begs I will re member her to you all and begs you to let her know how her Father, Mother, Sister and family are. Evening suset, a beautiful camp ground among large oak trees about 5 miles from Montgomery. We could not get there STEPHEN-FOURTH GENERATION 315 today but expect to be there bfore 10 o'clock tomorrow. Since crossing the line I have seen many plantations that look different from any I ever saw. Mr. L. says fine lands. B. can sit alone and when you say shake head B. he shakes as hard as he can.

STATE OF ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY THOMAS M. OwEN, LL.D., Director, Montgomery ( Copied for Susan McHenry Nabors Noble, 424 E. Fifty-Sec ond St. New York, 22, N. Y.-grand-daughter of John Henry Nabors, from original letter lent by Irma Nabors Johnson at present living at 901 Monrovia St. Shreveport, La.) May 29, 1905 Mr. J. H. Nabors: Naborton, La. My dear Sir: Your letter of May 23 was received and read with a great deal of interest. I am really sorry that my situation at present is so that I can not accept your kind invitation to visit you. Such a visit would be a great pleasure to me. As to the Na bors family, in 1876, I saw Mrs. Drayton Nabors who was born in 1808, and made full notes of all her recollections of the families of Abraham and Isaac Nabors, giving the names of all their children. You doubtless know that these two brothers, who lived near Laurens Courthouse in South Caro lina, married sisters, Abraham marrying Eleanor Boyd, who was your greatgrandmother, and Isaac marrying Nancy Boyd, who was my great grandmother. When Isaac Nabors was killed by the Tories in 1781, his family went to live with Abraham and the two families lived together until the close of the Revolution. I regret very much that you can not recall any of the facts pertaining to the death of Isaac Nabors by the Tories. When Mr. Lyman comes, and in conversing with him, I hope you may be able to recall some of the details of his death. I was in hopes that Mr. Sam Nabors of Pickens Co. could give me this information, as Isaac Nabors was his grandfather, but he was not able to do so. I will here say that I turned over to Dr. J. M. Owen, Director of the De partment of Archives and History all of the notes I had made about the Nabors family, which he will incorporate in his history of Jefferson family. Also I gave him some notes on 334 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE
Jacob Nabors' family, which I copied out of a family Bible belonging to Mr. Patrick Owing of Pickens County who is a descendant of Jacob Nabors. So you see we have a good deal of materials pertaining to the history of the Nabors. But so far I have never been able to trace the family beyond the three brothers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who lived in Lau rens District., S. C. during the Revolution. I have a vague recollection however of hearing in my boyhood that the Na bors came to South Carolina from Maryland, but from what country in Europe to Maryland I have never heard. The Boyd family into which the two Nabors brothers married belonged to the nobility of Ireland, and tried to keep up a high style in America, but were in a great measure empoverished by the revolution. Can you give any facts about the Boyds. Another matter, did you ever hear of the story of a young woman belonging to the Nabors family during the Revolu tion that was captured by the Indians. As near as I can re member of the tradition, it runs somewhat as follows: The young woman was one day sitting at the loom weaving. The weather being warm, she fell asleep, and dreamed that she was captured by the Indians. The next day, sure enough, a party of Indians came to the place and captured the young woman. She knew when they were bearing her off, that her friends would pursue and try to rescue her. So she tore off small pieces of the white dress she wore and at times would drop them along the trail as a guide to her pursuing friends. The Indians noticed her doing this, and picked up these pieces of her dress. She wore a blue apron, from which she then would tear off a piece and drop it in the trail. The Indians failed to notice these blue pieces. Either the first or second night, when the Indians made their camp, she lay down be~ tween two of the men, as the Indians supposed with a warrior on each side, she would hardly be apt to make her escape. Somehow she had an idea that her friends would attempt her rescue that night, so she lay wide awake while the In dians went sound asleep. Sure enough the pursuing party of whites surrounded the Indian camp. One of the white men then crawled up near where she was sleeping as it was a moonlight night, and he could see her distinctly. When he got STEPHEN-FIFTH GENERATION 335 near her he touched her with the end of his ramrod. She at once took in the situation, arose, stept lightly across the sleeping Indians out among her friends, who then opened fire upon the Indians and killed them all, then returned home with the young woman. The blue apron that she wore was long preserved in the family, and my mother remembered seeing it in her girlhood. My mother was born in 1798. Now this is all I can tell about this young woman. I can not recall her name, nor any other facts about her, only that she belonged to the Nabors family. Now have you any in formation on this subject, any tradition that has been handed down? I have long desired to recover the story in full as well as the full story of the death of Isaac Nabors. Do you know of any other members of the Nabors family that you think it might be well to write to in regard to family traditions. I would be glad to hear from you again. And hop ing that I may have that pleasure soon, and with my good wishes to yourself and family, I am Your friend and relative H. S. Halbert My P. 0. is as you see Montgomery, Ala.

Our journey did not end as soon as I expected it would when I wrote from Bayo Sara. The roughness of the road after leaving the Bayo country pre vented us from traveling as fast as we anticipated and kept us on the road three days longer than we would have been otherwise. In all, however, we did exceedingly well, for we accomplished ( 595) miles in the space of 26 days and rested on four of these days which were Sundays. We arrived on the 27th of November. I must add with some regret that New Peter ran away just a week before we reached home. I have no doubt that he will be caught by this time and that we will get him in a short time. I know you would like to hear how I am pleased with my new situation, erroneously called by some, a wilderness. Be fore I tell you this I will present the country in several differ ent points of view so that you may better judge whether my liking is as it ought to be. And first I will speak of it in a social point of view. We have in less than three miles of us seven respectable families. Cousin Lockwood Alison 3 miles, Dr. Fess about the same. A Mr. Romby, a Frenchman lives I mile. All of these whom I just mentioned are to the north of us. Mr. Scott and the two Mr. Riggses live each not over a mile. A Mr. Zonkey from Tenn. apparently a very respectable gentleman lives a mile from us. The most of these whom I have mentioned are in the highest state of refinement. The balance are honest, good citizens. It is true there is little visiting done here now, but cause is very apparent. Most of the citizens are busily en gaged opening farms and as soon as this is accomplished I have no doubt there will be much sociability as there is in your part of Dallas. So much for the state of society. I wish now to present it in an agricultural point of view. It is my sincere belief that this part of La. can without injury be compared with the greatest agricultural regions of the globe. Cotton, sugar, corn, wheat and any kinds of grain STEPHEN-FIFTH GENERATION 341
can be raised here in the greatest abundance. One of the greatest inducements it holds out to farmers is the great fa cility with which it can be cleared. Land which will produce a bag of cotton to the acre can be cleared at the rate of an acre to stout hands a day. So far as making crops is concerned this country is excelled by no other. Papa has bought more land and has now more than 3,000 acres. We own from our house to Edwards Lake which is 4 miles off. As soon as I become acquainted with the country I will send you a rough plan showing the most important places and our situation. Now for the game. No country offers more amusement to the hunter and fisherman than this. Deer, foxes, wild geese, ducks and brant. Has fish of every description and are to be found in the greatest of abundance. We live near some French who bring us more wild geese and ducks than we can con sume. We pay 10 cents apiece for the largest and fattest ducks I ever saw. I have not bought any geese, but for 20 cts. apiece one can obtain a wagon load. Tell Benj. and States that it is a common occurrence for one to kill 50 or 60 ducks a day and half as many geese. You have only to stand in one place and load your gun as fast as you can. Don't wonder when I tell you that flocks are to be seen half a mile in length and so thick as to exclude the sky and make it ap parently dark. Were you to hear the clashing of their wings in the distance you might think a most violent hurricane was approaching. Fish can without a doubt, be caught by the wagon load in winter and summer. I am going with Cousin Lockwood Alison and a Frenchman by the name of Nedeau on next Tuesday, to the lake as it will be the first time I have left my business for sport since I arrived. Papa wants me to go considering all of these great advantages. You must conclude that not to be satisfied would be unreasonable. I am well pleased and enjoying muself as anyone could wish. Always engaged; if not working, directing how it should be done. I have no time to experience lonesomeness, or what some call homesickness. I am up always before day and never eat breakfast so late as · summer. It is now a little over two weeks since we arrived. 342 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE
We have just put up the negro homes and a corn crib, but neither of them are complete. This is getting along rather slowly but the severity of the weather has been the cause. For more than a week in all I suppose, we have been unable to work. We have been through rain, snow, sleet, the hardest freeze we ever experienced. The mercury has been seen as low as 14 degrees above zero. None of us suffered during this weather; we had large light wood fires and kept very close to them. There are three more houses to be built im mediately. My house, a smoke house and store room. Papa has bought six hundred bushels of corn which is not yet hauled and expects to buy 200 more. When I have leisure I will give you an elaborate descrip tion of our houses and their relative positions. Martha must tell the girls at school of my acquaintance, that without joke, Elizabeth McKinnie·is on next Thursday night to be married to Dr. Baldwin, a man about the age of her mother. Kiss little Lise for me and tell her I thank her much for the book mark, to keep it for me. Kiss sweet little Mary Lee a heap of times for me. Kiss my dear Jack and tell Beng. & States to roll him over on the floors and kiss him a half an hour for me. Tell the little chap his dog, Humbug, is a great feller and that he ran at an opossum the other night. Tell him Pa bought two little ponies and one a very pretty little feller, is for him. Tell Sister I am waiting to hear from her. Tell Beng. & States to write often. Tell States he is a dear boy for writing to me so soon and to try it oftener. Tell Martha and Caroline I would be much pleased to receive a few lines occasionally from them. I regret much the loss of the fence and am much grieved to hear of my cousin Begin's illness. I hope she has recovered before this. Give my love to all and tell each to kiss every one for me. Remem ber me to all inquiring friends. Tell them of the fatness of the country. I remain in much love your affectionate son. Tell all the negroes howdy, and Joseph that he could kill 100 wild ducks in a day.
