Biography

Lee was born in 1847. He was the son of Archibald Harris and Elizabeth Boggess. He passed away in 1917.

Note

There are multiple birth dates and multiple listed name for Levi/Lee Harris married to Laura.

The 1853 date can't be correct because his father Archibald died in 1850.

The 1850 date is questionable because a sister, Mary Ann, was born in early 1850.

I'm going with the 1847 date that matches up closely with the 1850/1880 census.

It is also possible the Lee is an unrelated person.
