NOTE: This tree is a "work in progress". Many of the notes are incomplete and some links will not work correctly, especially when inside a Scrapbook. I still have much data to add and apologise to those contributors whose information has not yet been added. My sincere thanks to all.

I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist or conflict with other sources. Individuals with uncertain details have a (See Notes) label attached to their name.

Any photos will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. These allow only a limited amount of text so I will be adding feature pages containing more detailed notes, photos and links. These will appear at the right of the Scrapbook links. NOTE: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook. You can use your browser's BACK button to exit or use the "Exit Scrapbook" link below or here.

Details and photos of individuals labelled as living are automatically excluded, however a separate list is available here for living people who have permitted or asked for their details to be published.

If you do find errors, conflicts or would like to update your line please let me know. Webmaster

Colonel William Lee

Notes from Marshall B. Shore:
WILLIAM LEE (1747-1803) commanded a company of South Carolina troops; in 1780 was made a prisoner of war by the British and sent to St. Augustine with forty other prominent patriots. He was born and died in Charleston, S. C. Civilian occupation: Watchmaker. (DAR Leneage book, Vol 121, p 3.)
He commanded the True Blue Company, and was made prisoner in November 1870. He was released as part of an exchange of prisoners. He sent his wife and daughter to Philadelphia before the war started so they would not get caught up in the Revolution in Charleston.
He was a watchmaker and lived in Charleston. In a book by Thomas Carpenter Descendants of Thomas Lee of Charleston, South Carolina, 1710-1769" A Genealogical-Biographical Compilation, p 84, we find that In 1771 "Mr. Lee, during the absence of Joshua Lockwood, cared for and wound the clock in St. Michael's Steeple, for which he was paid One Hundred and Sixty Pounds Sterling. During the Revolution he was a Captain of a True Blue Company of Militia and was later made a Colonel. Colonel Lee was one of the Forty leading citizens of Charleston whose devotion to the Continental Cause resulted in his being imprisioned by the British on a prison ship in Charleston Harbor and sent to St. Augustine, Forida, a prisoner in exile. His address in Charleston was 91-95 Broad street and in 1802 his address was shown as 55 King Street.

The DAR Patriot Index, p 408 lists Wm Lee, b 2-21-1747, d 11-29-1803, m Ann Theus, Capt, PS, SC.
