Biography

She is quite possibly the wife of Samuel Lee (born between about 1761/63 to 1769/70 in New Hanover, North Carolina Colony and died 1831 Mississippi), son of Bryan Lee and Mary Ruth (Devane) Lee.

They had at least one son: William Solomon Collum Lee (1811 - 1892). He has the same first name as his maternal grandfather, William Henry Collum, and part of his middle name is the last name of his maternal grandfather.
