Diana and all,

According to the information sent to me by N. Dale Morgan of Grant's
Pass, OR in 1993, the David Lee who died in Lunenburg Co., VA in 1748
was the father of Clement Lee who married Sarah Walden. She/he sent a
5-generation descendant chart beginning with David Lee. Unfortunately,
no descendants of Clement Lee and Sarah Walden were given. According
to the chart information, Clement was the youngest child and was born
about 1730.

What generation would this David Lee be to the Clement Lee who married
Sarah
Walling the daughter of Elisha Sr.? My guess is this David Lee is
the
grandfather. Is there anyone from the Lee family on this list? This
will
is on-line at

My personal interest is the Thomas Jones who is the co-executor as my
MILLY,
the wife of JOSEPH WALLING, may be the daughter of a THOMAS JONES.
