Does anyone have information on the following LEE in Macon Co, AL?
I have been unable to find any of the family after the 1850 Census.
William LEE may be the William L. LEE that married Winnie ELKINS
in 10 Dec 1868 in Lee Co, AL (See Below).

10 Dec 1868 William LEE married Winnie ELKINS, Lee Co, AL by W. M. Capps
Bk. 1 p. 187.
On the day following David Elkin's being appointed the Guardianship of
William LEE, William LEE married Winnie ELKIN's, David ELKINS daughter. I assume
William had to have a Guardian to sign for him. William was born 12 Feb
1849-1851. Some later Census records have William as born in Georgia, some in Alabama.
