General Notes: Husband - William J LEE

Sumner Co Marriage
Escue, James to Houdershelt, Elizabeth on 3 March 1830 - Lee, William J. (bondsman)

Did James and John die in the war?

=================================================================================================
General Notes: Wife - Elmarena MOORE
=================================================================================================

These records seem to indicate that Elmarena was alive at the outset but she is not on the 1860
Census with her family. However, William and Doxey were married in 1853 so Elmarena could not
have been his living wife in Oct 1854.
