![]() ![]() In summary, here is what I think we need to do: Īnother Beckwith Notes volume shows her being younger daughter Marah (later called Mary) of Thomas Lee: įrom my perspective, I think we should notify the PMs of Lee-1739 of what is being proposed. However, this date is after her DoD shown in either profile. This source also shows she visited her half brother, Stephen Lee in 1757, which supports her parentage. It also says that she had an elder half sister named Mary. UPDATE2: Another source (cited by Torrey), lists her as a daughter of Thomas Lee and Mary DeWolf. It also shows her subsequent 2 other marriages as you have above. UPDATE: I haven't found a birth record for her so far (i.e., date shown in TAG article), but I did find another source that shows a marriage of Marah Lee to Joseph Beckwith May 18, 1699:, author Frederic Gregory Mather. Do they also suggest that her supposed twin brother John was born to Mary? I'd be interested in the vital sources that support her being the daughter of Mary DeWolf. It shows she married Thomas Lord.This same information if found in The Lee Family source on Mary's profile. The Ely Ancestry (source on her father's profile) has Mary as the twin of John, and the child of Sarah Kirtland. I am ambivalent about whether she should retain that name or go to Unknown, and would hope for a ruling by PGM on that question, but if she is to retain the name Lee, setting Lee-12085 and Lee-1739 as rejected matches would probably be wise. If Thomas Lord's wife was really born in Lyme, then I have my doubts that her surname was Lee: Joshua Hempstead spelled out his top-level Lee relatives to apparent completion in his diary. with a suitable explanation added to the Lee-12085 profile. My proposal is that the Mary Lee ( Lee-12085) be detached from Thomas Lee and Sarah Kirtland, and that the Marah (Lee) Beckwith profile ( Lee-1739) should be set as daughter of Thomas Lee ( Lee-5623) and Mary DeWolf ( DeWolf-57). I noticed that the Lee-12085 profile cites The Sterling Genealogy, pp. 369-70, and I suppose that an early Sterling researcher's error may be at the origin of this confusion, since the widow Mary (Lee) Beckwith did marry Daniel Sterling on in Lyme. I believe this is just as incorrect as the claim she was married to William Lord. But an alternate connection of Thomas Lee's daughter Mary to the Lord family is presently depicted in Wikitree, where a Mary Lee ( Lee-12085) matching the above somewhat incorrect description is married to William Lord's son, Thomas Lord. Well, at least we don't quite have that problem. (b) not married to William Lord, but rather married thrice to other men - Joseph Beckwith, Deacon (Daniel) Sterling and Captain (John) Riggs, as her cousin Joshua Hempstead noted in his diary. (a) not actually Sarah's daughter, but rather Thomas' daughter by his second wife Mary DeWolf (vital records show this) and The brief paper, "William Lord's Wife and the Family of Thomas Lee" ( TAG:32:81-2), by Elisa Warren Avery, details why Mary, supposed daughter of Thomas Lee "Jr." and Sarah Kirtland of Lyme, Connecticut, was: ![]()
