Late in life, he married Sarah (Sally)Johnson Miller, who bore him two more sons. Thomas Granville Lee, b 14 June 1863 and Greenwood Lee, b. 1 Oct, 1840. I am descended from Thomas Granville Lee, Greenwood's brother. Thomas Granville died 18 June, 1904 in Ripley County Missouri and buried at Dismang Cemetery in Ripley County. He married Belle Fields in 1862, who died in 1868. He married Emily Upchurch Lee. His children were Charles Henry Lee b March 26, 1880, Robert Samuel b. April 7,1863, Myrtle Ruth, b. Nov 11, 1918, and possibly one more child. They all lived in the Ripley County area. Robert Samuel Lee was my great-grandfather. He married Zora Bell(e) on April 4, 188?. Their issues were Odie Bell(e) Lee, born 14 July, 1890, Robert Ernest Lee, July 4, 1895, Horace Granville Lee, Jan 27, 1898 and Delos Solon C. Lee, bo Oct 27, 1902. Robert Ernest Lee was my grandfather. Robert Ernest married Ada Upshaw. They gave birth to Ruby Helen, John Truman, Ruth (d. at 4 years), Ermadean, Robert Eugene, Billie Ray, and Ernestine. My father is Billie Ray. His name was supposed to be William. He was born June 2, 1933. He married my mother, Adeline Pauline Lietzow in February, 1952. I was born October 3, 1953. I have two brothers, Keith Wayne and Brian Ray. My parents and brothers live in the St. Louis, Missouri area. My father moved from Ripley County as soon as he reached working age. His father had died when he was six, and his mother in 1953. I have 3 children and we live in Texas. I do have more information, including a photo of Thomas Granville Lee and his wife. Write back please. My family, like everyone else, is looking for a possible connection to Robert E. Lee. Looks like our family was pretty remarkable even without the connection. Old Abner was a busy guy.

.....I am not related to your line of Lee's, but did find this while searching for mine. It shows your Abner Lee was born 1760 in North Carolina and died 7 Oct 1852 in Jackson County, Tennessee. It shows he married Sally Miller on 12 Sept 1835 in Jackson County, TN It states that in 1855 she would have been 60 years old. It shows their issue as Alsy or Ailcy VAn Zandt who was 49 in 1855 and a grandson, son presumably of Alsy, John G VanZandt who was 27 in 1855. It shows the name of an Isacc Van Zandt, "clergyman", but it states it does not explain his relationship to this family. These came from extracts of those that applied for military pensions.
.....It states that he did live in Washington County, VA during the Rev War and after the Rev he moved to TN and also lived in Ill for a period of 1 year. He had applied for the pension in 1846 in Jackson County, TN. She applied for the BLW there in 1855. It states that he died at the home of his daughter, above named in Jackson Co., TN on 7 Oct 1852 and that he had lived in her home for a period of two years at the time of his death. Hope this helps.
