Her last name is on the death certificate of her son John W. Lee and the marriage record of Harriet to her second and third Husbands. She was born in Perry County, Ohio according to the national Funeral Register of her son John W. Lee and also her daughter Susan O. Gehrett. In an article on her son William A. Lee it states that she was born in 1828.
I know what is said about her maiden name being Tracy. There was a Susannah Tracy but here is what I did find---------
Peter, John's father, moved from Somerset Co., PA to Perry Co., OH sometime between 1810 and 1820. Do not know anything about the Tracy family except that her parents names were Philip and Susannah. This is really going to sound weird, John's older sister Susan Ansell was married to a Philip Tracy. This Philip must be a Jr. The only thing I know about this Susan is she died in Perry County, OH on 2/14/1855.
I found her buried in Wesley Cemetery, Perry County, Ohio. This proves this is not our Susannah.
The Will of John Ansel proves Susannah Ansel Lee was his Daughter!! See Notes on John Ansel.

Her last name is on the death certificate of her son John W. Lee and the marriage record of Harriet to her second and third Husbands. She was born in Perry County, Ohio according to the national Funeral Register of her son John W. Lee and also her daughter Susan O. Gehrett. In an article on her son William A. Lee it states that she was born in 1828.
I know what is said about her maiden name being Tracy. There was a Susannah Tracy but here is what I did find---------
Peter, John's father, moved from Somerset Co., PA to Perry Co., OH sometime between 1810 and 1820. Do not know anything about the Tracy family except that her parents names were Philip and Susannah. This is really going to sound weird, John's older sister Susan Ansell was married to a Philip Tracy. This Philip must be a Jr. The only thing I know about this Susan is she died in Perry County, OH on 2/14/1855.
I found her buried in Wesley Cemetery, Perry County, Ohio. This proves this is not our Susannah.
The Will of John Ansel proves Susannah Ansel Lee was his Daughter!! See Notes on John Ansel.

Her last name is on the death certificate of her son John W. Lee and the marriage record of Harriet to her second and third Husbands. She was born in Perry County, Ohio according to the national Funeral Register of her son John W. Lee and also her daughter Susan O. Gehrett. In an article on her son William A. Lee it states that she was born in 1828.
I know what is said about her maiden name being Tracy. There was a Susannah Tracy but here is what I did find---------
Peter, John's father, moved from Somerset Co., PA to Perry Co., OH sometime between 1810 and 1820. Do not know anything about the Tracy family except that her parents names were Philip and Susannah. This is really going to sound weird, John's older sister Susan Ansell was married to a Philip Tracy. This Philip must be a Jr. The only thing I know about this Susan is she died in Perry County, OH on 2/14/1855.
I found her buried in Wesley Cemetery, Perry County, Ohio. This proves this is not our Susannah.
The Will of John Ansel proves Susannah Ansel Lee was his Daughter!! See Notes on John Ansel.

Her last name is on the death certificate of her son John W. Lee and the marriage record of Harriet to her second and third Husbands. She was born in Perry County, Ohio according to the national Funeral Register of her son John W. Lee and also her daughter Susan O. Gehrett. In an article on her son William A. Lee it states that she was born in 1828.
I know what is said about her maiden name being Tracy. There was a Susannah Tracy but here is what I did find---------
Peter, John's father, moved from Somerset Co., PA to Perry Co., OH sometime between 1810 and 1820. Do not know anything about the Tracy family except that her parents names were Philip and Susannah. This is really going to sound weird, John's older sister Susan Ansell was married to a Philip Tracy. This Philip must be a Jr. The only thing I know about this Susan is she died in Perry County, OH on 2/14/1855.
I found her buried in Wesley Cemetery, Perry County, Ohio. This proves this is not our Susannah.
The Will of John Ansel proves Susannah Ansel Lee was his Daughter!! See Notes on John Ansel.

Alexander lived on one farm since 1854 until his death. This farm is still standing. Grandma told us that all the woodwork and cabinets were hand made by Alexander Lee. The farm is in section 5 of Nottingham Township, Wells County, Indiana. Alexander was Superintend of the United Methodist Church of Poneto when the first report of the church was printed in 1881. He was also superintendent from 1883-34 and from 1890-1893. There is a stained glass window in the church that has an inscription Alexander Lee first Sunday School Superintendent of the Church. He and Susannah were early members of one of the earliest churches to be established, Prairie Church. This church was held in private homes in 1840. it was on the same circuit as Poneto the one they were members of the later. Alexander came to Indiana from Ohio around 1854.The Maiden name Tracy was said to be Susannah Ansel Lee's Nothing that I find has this in it. I have the marriage application and record. Ansel was Susannah name on both as well as the head stone.
