Person:Henry Lee (3)

From A Standard History of Erie County, Ohio

The Lee family came originally from Maryland. Mr. Lee's grandfather, Henry A. Lee, was born in the City of Baltimore, and was married there to Polly Driver. The children born to them in Baltimore were John, James, and Thomas. Then in 1841 this little family set out upon the long journey to a new home in Ohio. They were people in modest circumstances, and all their worldly possessions were stowed upon a wagon drawn by a single horse. They went along the highways day after day before reaching their destination, and camped out by the wayside. On arriving in Vermilion Township they selected a place along the Joppa Road, and there in the wilderness they exchanged their temporary abode in the wagon for the comforts and privations of a log cabin home. Year after year they worked industriously in improving the land and constituting for themselves and their children a better home, and both grandparents lived to a good old age. They were members of the Methodist Church, while the grandfather was a republican.
