Additional Curator's Notes:

CAUTION - A recently found source proves that Samuel Lee (first child listed below) cannot be the son of the William Lee who was descended from Richard Lee the Immigrant. The claims of relationship were disproved by Y-DNA studies. See this site - http://files.usgwarchives.net/va/cumberland/bios/lee02.txt. Samuel Lee's life is well documented once he reached adulthood. A William Lee appears on several documents. At this stage, we cannot determine Samuel's relationship to William, but believe he is the father.

As the Curator for this profile, I have opted to leave the biographical data on the Overview and to leave William Lee as the father, but to sever the relationship to Charles Lee and Ann Dabbs and to remove any siblings that prove not to be related to Samuel. This information is being retained until Samuel's sibling relationship can be proved or disproved. Definitely more research is needed for this William Lee, as well as for his son Samuel Lee.
