My Lee Grandparents

Sometimes I'm awakened in the middle of the night by that little voice in the back of my mind that reminds me of something I need to do.  Last night that voice reminded me that it would be helpful to readers of this blog to provide a basic family tree of my Lee ancestors.  Following is a list of my Lee grandparents with a few dates and places noted.  Do any of these names appear on your family tree?  If so, I hope you'll leave a comment below so that we can connect and share information about our Lee family.
