About Hannah Bell Leigh

Also BEWARE - some have tried to change the surname to Lee to tie into the Robert E. Lee lineage [project - http ://www.geni.com/projects/Lees-of-Virginia] because of this notation :

According to the history of the Lee/Leigh Family, which was a large one - Biography and Comp. of American Genealogy Vol. __ pg. 685 Hannah, Ferdinand's wife was born 1755, and Hannah, sister of Light Horse Harry  Lee was born 1766, and married in 1787 - Corbin Washington s/o John Augustine Washington.

Nothing has ever been found to be able to connect her of this leigh family 7 'light Horse" Harry le together.

The 1961 Genealogy says that the Lee genealogy gives Hannable b. 1766 m. 1787 Corbin Washington

another lists her place of death as Pickaway Co., Ohio
