• 1860 Census for Raymond, Hinds County, Mississippi, shows A.P. Lee, age 23, an overseer, as head of household consisting of: A. Lee, age 18, female; and J.G. Lee, age 2, male. Several farmers with very large "personal assets" listings are on the same page, including two named Williams. The Lees live next to the Tovles (?), who have a huge personal assets listing, so perhaps he worked for them.
