Death date seen as 1700 and 1778. The 1770 date is based upon a Family Data Collection record, which is just a collection of secondary sources and is not definitive. Researchers are cautioned. Children are ascribed to the various wives of Major Lea using 1778 as the death year of Elizabeth Herndon. Note that researcher Dr. John Goodwin Herndon concluded that Major Lea, Jr. is a son of Elizabeth Herndon Lea. If correct, Elizabeth Herndon would have lived to at least 1775, thus discrediting the 1770 death year and making 1778 more reasonable.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Aug 2 2022, 4:48:44 UTC
