Hopkins Lee, who married Tabitha Lee, moved to Bibb Co., AL with his family before 1820. His will, dated March 22, 1842, was found in Bibb Co. and lists his children:
1) Mary “Polly” m. Ezekiel Yeager 1822, 2) Bryant b. 1804 , 3) Cullen b. 1808, 4) Nancy b. 1800-10 m. Hiram/Niram Peterson, 5) Edith b. 1813 m. Robert Stacy, 6) Jackson b. 1815-20, and possibly another daughter who m. David Henderson. These children, except for maybe Jackson, were born in North Carolina.
However, there is another group of Lees in Bibb Co. that were born in the same timeframe as Hopkins’ children but in Tennessee. They are:
1) William Lee b. ~1793 in TN m. Nancy Jackson? (b.~1796NC) d. 1854 Tishamingo, MS. He moved from TN to Bibb Co., AL around 1818 and to Tishamingo Co., MS around 1841
2) Lewis Lee b. 1794 in TN m. Polly Yeager Jan. 31,1822 in Bibb Co. d. after 1850 probably in Bibb Co. When he married Polly Yeager in Bibb Co., Hopkins Lee’s son Bryant was his bondsman.
3) John Lee b. 1790-1800 m. Peggy Kornegay Jan. 11, 1821 in Bibb Co., bondsman Lewis Lee. He died around 1840 in Bibb Co., Edward Lee was appointed administrator of his estate.
4) Sarah Lee b. 1800 inTN m. Barney Kornegay March 4, 1821 in Bibb Co., bondsman Bryant Lee. She died 1889 in Bibb Co.
5) Edward Lee b. 1800-1810, he is in Bibb Co. records through 1843 then I don’t know if he died or moved.
6)There is also a Celia Lee b. ~1800 in NC m. Robert R. Thompson who seems to be related to these Lees also.
It would seem from the close ties between this set of Lees and Hopkins Lee’s children that they were cousins. It seems that their parents moved to Tennessee before 1793, they were all born in Tennessee, and then these siblings joined their uncle Hopkins Lee and his family in Bibb, Alabama. However, I cannot figure out who their father is. He must surely be a brother or cousin of Hopkins Lee. Hopkins’ brother Burrell Lee has been suggested as their father, but Burrell lived in Madison Co., AL and had a large well-documented family who were born at the same time as these unknown Lee siblings. They simply don’t fit into his family.
Can anyone give me any direction or help?
