"8. Capt. Jared, son of Thomas 5, and Mary (Camp) Lee, born at Farmington, Nov. 12, 1711, married, first, Rhoda, dau. of Lieut. John and Rachel Judd and great-granddaughter of Dea. Thomas Judd, an early settler of Farmington. She died Feb. 12, 1771, by her clothes taking fire. 'Dyed in the evening aboute 10 o'clock in ye 63rd year of her age, which will be completed June ye 10th day old style.' A full account of the accident was published in the 'Conn. Courant' Feb. 19, 1771, to be found at the Historical Society’s rooms, Hartford. Married second, Elizabeth Hall, Sept. 14, 1775. He went to Southington parish to reside about 1734, on land deeded to him by his father Thomas. … He was 'admitted to full communion' May 7, 1736, and his wife Rhoda to the same, June 12, 1737. He appears to have assumed a prominent position at an early day. In 1743 he was commissioned as Ensign, and in 1748 as 'Captain of-2nd Company;' chosen deacon of the church March 17, 1751, a position which he held till his death in 1780; …
In 1751, he was appointed by the General Court, a Justice of the Peace for the parish of Southington, the first for the parish, an office which he held continuously till May 1, 1780. … He was a Representative to the General Court 1754-60-61. At a meeting called in 1779, to take steps to organize the town of Southington, 'Jared Lee, Esq., was made Moderator as a tribute of respect, being the most prominent man in the town.'—Town Records. Besides his official business, he was engaged in farming, merchandising and keeping a hotel."
Footnote: "The year of his birth has usually been published as 1712, but this is an error, as found by his son Seth Lee's records, and also by his tombstone."
