[or-roots] Leabo-Lee

[Virgene and Dean Travis]

Hi --
  My ancestors are the LEE family of Oregon.
 Here is some info. that fits into the current discussion.  I don't have
absolute proof on all of this.  In addition to my own research, some of my
sources are:
Myra Weston of Canby, OR (an Oregon researcher & author?), I believe  .. via
Denise Swenson of McMinnville, OR in Apr. 1997 and Shirley Isaac of
Watsonville, CA in April 1997.

James R. Leabo b. 1823 in Cooke Co., TN.  He was raised by his aunt and
uncle, Isaac Leabo and Mary (Polly) Lewis.   He married Emily Armina Lee on
16 Mar 1851 in Oregon City, Clackamas Co., OR.  Emily was b. 22 July 1828 in
Jefferson Co., NY .. the daughter of Philander Lee and Anna Harvey Green.
There is an 1850 census record mentioned in a previous posting to this list
that shows Emily as the daughter of Orlando Lee.   That was an error on the
census ... should show her father as PHILANDER.
