There are many Richard Bland Lee`s out there with the exact same name and generation. One is from the famous Lee family of Virginia and some others may be but would be much more distant. I hope to straighten this out eventually. Any help out there? Anyway, R. W. Lee did marry Nancy Harvey on 1/08/1818 in Howard County, Missouri. They had moved here from Kentucky. This proves their original Howard County, Missouri, pioneer status. Most of their children together are;
Elizabeth Lee Williams (11/25/1818-3/09/1838)
Sarah "Sallie" Lee Pemberton(9/11/1820-2/22/1895)
Malinda Lee (2/19/1822-9/06/1824)
Surrilda Lee (3/15/1823-9/16/1824)
William Jefferson Lee (11/22/1825-12/20/1886)
Melvina Lee Jones (9/21/1827-10/12/1914)
Nancy Lee(twin) (9/21/1827-10/06/1827)
John Clay Lee (01/31/1829-9/14/1900)
Lucinda Lee Lowery (8/08/1830-5/06/1878)
Maranda Ann Lee Hurt ( 8/20/1832-9/21/1867)
Richard Washington Lee II (11/11/1834-5/29/1913)
Thomas Marion Lee (5/15/1836-_____1861)
Dorothy Jane Lee Strange (6/24/1838-12/03/1860)
Charles Harrison Lee (3/19/1840-________)
Richard lived next to the site of his homestead graveyard and pioneer farm outside Armstrong, Missouri for many years. He apparently died in Jackson County, Kansas City, Missouri and was taken to the homestead cemetery to be buried. He had been staying with a relative. In his will he asked to be buried next to his wife in their homestead cemetery. Also, in his will, he asked that all his property and possessions be divided among several of his children, in-laws, and a grandchild.
It appears, like in many old country graveyards, that many of the friends and neighbors buried relatives in this cemetery as well. Many had married into the family or where connected in some way. More information will be listed as time and research evolves.
