I found my earlier cited reference to a wife of Gen. Barnard Bee. It is in a letter written by a historian named Gaines Kincaid in 1972. To quote Mr. Kincaid:
"I have talked with Edward H. Waring, III, of Charleston. He is descended from Sophia (Sophie) Hill (Mrs. Major Edward North) Thurston, who was Barnard E. Bee's widow. She married Thurston some time after Bee was killed at Manassas.... The children all died very early in life. ..."
If this is true, you could be related to Gen. Barnard Bee, but not descended from him. It would be interesting if you found a tie between the northeastern and the southeastern Bees...
