Looking for info on John and Mary LaFollette Lee
Looking for information on John Lee who married Mary LaFollette they were married Jul 27, 1790 Nelson County, KY. I am looking for their children and their parents.
John Lee was born in VA sometime between Bet. 1760 – 1766 (maybe) and died in Cumberland County, KY.
Mary is said to have been born in Morris County, NJ abt 1770. Some suggested that Mary LaFollette Lee is the daughter of Joseph La Follette and Phoebe Goble, and some say that Joseph is her Uncle. Not sure what happened to her after John Lee died.
John Lee is said to have been working on or with some of the surveyors at the time that he was in KY along with several other Lee’s that think are probably son’s of John and Mary LaFollette Lee.
In 1806 John and Mary Lee are in Cumberland County, KY when he deeded land to Uzal Lafollette. A John Lee is listed on the 1810-1820-1830 Census in Cumberland County, KY.
Due to County line changes and State line disputes He may have been in Overton County, TN probably that part that latter became Pickett County, TN, which might have been part of Cumberland or Clinton County, KY.
I list 11 children for John and Mary Lafollette Lee.
Possible Children of John and Mary Lafollette Lee are (keep in mind the word possible not fact): Anna Lee, and 2 unknown daughters, Marcus M. Lee, Shadrach Lee, Joseph L. Lee, Charles Lee, John Lee, Richard Lee and Uzel Lee.
Anna Lee no info
and 2 unknown daughters no info
Marcus M. Lee born Abt. 1793 Hardin County, KY married Lucy Unknown. Worked as a chain carrier on survey. List 9 children for this family.
Shadrach Lee born Abt. 1794 lived next to John and Mary Lee in Cumberland County, KY in 1810 – 1820 Census. Worked as a chain carrier on survey.
Shadrach is listed with one female born Bet. 1785 – 1794 and 2 males born Bet. 1810 – 1820 and 1 one female born Bet. 1801 - 1810 and 1 one female born Bet. 1810 – 1820. The he disappears.
Joseph L. Lee born Abt. 1795 TN married Mary Mayberry or Mabery. List two children.
Charles Lee Abt. 1797 TN or KY and married Jane Fleming born Abt. 1799 NC. Jane was the daughter of John Ford Fleming Rhoda Unknown. Charles and Jane Lee left TN with a wagon train led by Jane’s Uncle Mordecai Fleming. Mordecai is thought to have organized a wagon train in Overton County, TN and traveled to Texas. The families of Rody Fleming, Charles Lee, John Lee, Richard Rayburn and Sylvanus Rayburn left Overton County, TN and traveled to Fayette County, Illinois. These families intermarried, continuing their ties in Texas and Illinois.
Charles and Jane Lee stayed in IL and didn’t go on to Texas. Have lots of info on Charles and Jane Lee’s family list 10 children for this family.
John Lee born Abt. 1798 TN or KY married Margaret Fleming. Not sure who Margaret Fleming’s parents were. Margaret was born Abt. 1798 VA or NC she died between 1849-1850 Clinton County, KY. I have tracked and found their children and have lots of info on them, list 12 children for John and Margaret Fleming Lee. The Margaret Lee on the 1850 and1860 census is not the wife of John Lee as some think, but his daughter she never married but had 5 children three of them are on the 1860 Census with her in her father’s house hold. Another daughter Of John and Margaret Fleming Lee, Mary Lee Means on her death record it lists her mother’s maiden name.
William Lee born Abt. 1801 Hardin County, KY. No other info
Richard Lee born 1805-1806 Cumberland County KY. Married first Lydia Laine born Abt. 1806 TN died Jul 07, 1854 Clinton County, KY. Richard and Lydia had two children Joseph Vance Lee and Letha Jane Lee.
Joseph Vance Lee Feb 06, 1830 TN he married Elizabeth Campbell. They had had 10 children and named one son Uzel LaFollette Lee. Several children died in KY. They moved their family west some in TX and some in OK.
Letha Jane Lee born Abt. 1850 Clinton County, KY married Jacob Taylor Groce, she was his third wife, they moved to Pickett County, TN and had 3 children.
Richard Lee married second Elizabeth Cross. On most census records Richard lists that he was born in TN but when he marries Elizabeth Cross Jun 09, 1855 he states on his marriage record that he was born in Cumberland County, KY.
Richard and Elizabeth Cross Lee have 3 Children Elisha Lee, Rebecca Lee and John Lee. Richard Lee’s will lists the names of his children.
Elisha Lee born May 1856 Clinton County, KY and died at about age 3 on Oct 06, 1859 Clinton County, KY.
Rebecca Lee born Jul 08, 1858 Clinton County, KY and died Nov 10, 1930 Clinton County, KY. Mistake on her death record listed her mother as Lydia Laine, but informant was not a family member. Lydia died in 1854 which was about a year before Richard married Elizabeth and about 4 years before Rebecca was born. Most of Rebecca’s children had married and moved away from Clinton County, KY at the time of her death. Rebecca Lee never married but had 6 children.

Uzel Lee born Oct 14, 1806 Hardin County, KY and died about abt 1842 Henry County, IA. He marries Elizabeth Settles Lee Feb 07, 1827 Jennings County, IN and I list 5 children for them.
I tend to get very confused every time I try to sort out this bunch of children that belong to John and Mary LaFollette Lee!
Hopefully someone knows something about the children or parents of John and Mary LaFollette Lee. If I am wrong their children I hope some one will tell me so I can eliminate the ones that are wrong, and hopefully someone has the correct one, with more info than I have.
You can contact me here or at [email protected] please put Lee genealogy in subject so I won’t delete you.
Thanks,
