By the way, Richard Henry Lee, the member of the Cont Congress who introduced the resolution for independence, was RE Lee’s great uncle (or something like that).
You have a distinguished family tree!
Mine too, cousin!
BTW, Davis was the son-in-law of President Zachary Taylor.
I am proud to hear about what you found while searchihg your background. Now, you will have no trouble whatsoever joining the Daughters of the Confederacy! There were a few legends about our family tree. and some of them are true. Once I learned how to manipulate Ancestry.com, I got back into the 1400s in a few minutes. Your children must be very interested and proud.
