Lee died young in the 1830s ***************************************** Note Ken Sturdivant: Debated daughter--William Samuel Lee or John Lee, William ( Wiiliam Samuel Lee's older brother) Susan Lee b.1826 in CA. 1st m.surname Eastman 2nd m.Nicholas Thompson The October, 1980 issue of 'Wagon Wheels' published by the Logan Co., Historical Society, contained an article by Joe Carter, in which he, in error, assigns "Susan Lee who married a man named Thompson" as the daughter of William and Dicey 'Ennis' Lee. This erroneous information has been accepted as truth by several Lee researchers. I offer the following evidence as proof of it's in-validity. On August 25, 1845, Susan Lee married Nicholas Thompson, in Johnston Co., North Carolina. They became the parents of six children. The 1860 U.S. census report for Johnson Co., Arkansas, indicates that, the first five of these six children, were born in North Carolina. The youngest daughter, John Della, was born on April 25, 1854, in Johnson Co., Arkansas. William and Dicey Lee left Johnston Co., North Carolina, some time during the 1820s: The birth state of Tennessee, given on later census reports for some of their children, and their arrival date in Arkansas, thought to be during the late 1840s, would make it necessary for a teenage daughter, Susan Lee to have returned to North Carolina, in order to be married there during 1845. Susan 'Lee' Thompson, is in fact the daughter of John Lee, William S. Lee's older brother. John Lee was the last of three Lee brothers to migrate from North Carolina to Arkansas. John Lee outlived most of his children; he died in Logan Co., Arkansas during 1882, at age ninety seven. John Lee's property went through probate court, as he left no legal will. The husband of one of his grand daughters, John Hansel Trusty, was named adm. of the estate. Legal heirs were named on this document, identifying as grand daughters, two children of Susan 'Lee' Thompson. Susan 'Lee' Thompson did not die until 1885, but was not named as an heir to any of John Lee's property: She had earlier been declared "insane" and had been assigned legal guardians. I have a copy of John Lee's probate if you would like it.
