Notes

Guardian to Ambrose Lee's son, George Penn Lee.
From Penn Pals; Vol. Issue 3 Page 4 by Frances K. Leahy 6629 West 87th St. Los Angeles, CA 90045 Most records show the first wife as Elizabeth Douglas. However, Mrs J. F. Murphy, 649 Lockwood Court, St. Louis, MO 63119 has the following information which may help correct this matter: Both Mary and Sarah Lee were daughters of William and Rachel Lea of Amelia Co., VA. William Lea left a will dated 6/18/1770 in the parish of Nottoway, Amelia Co. VA. In this will he mentions daughters Sarah Penn and Mary Walden.

There was a son, John Lee, who evidently did not marry as he left his estate to his brothers and sisters. John Lee's will proved if Charlotte Co. Va. 1/6/1783. In it John mentions sisters Sarah Penn and Mary Waldon. So it is evident Sarah did marry a Penn and indicates George Penn's first wife was Sarah Lee.

George Penn's only sister, Frances Penn married Ambrose Lee, oldest son of William and Rachel Lea. .....Family tradition says that George Penn did marry the Lee sisters and dates and places and family connections fit perfectly. This is stated in Albert E. Casey's book 'Amite Co., Miss., Vol 111, Lea family of K & Q Co. VA, Caswell Co. NC, and Amite Co. MS. This is also stated in 'The Bennets of VA & NC (main reference "Finding your forefathers in America" by Archibald F. Bennett) This belief is held by at least two other people who have studied the Penn and Lee lines rather thoroughly with whom I've had correspondence. - Mrs. J. F. Murphy of St. Louis 1975 Note; The new Centennial DAR index Sarah and Mary Lee to this George Penn and no longer gives Elizabeth Douglas as his wife.
