Per Charlott Jones:
Lucyanna Lee was the daughter of the Methodist missionary Rev. Jason Lee and his #2 wife Lucy Thompson whom he met on a trip to get more Methodist ministers to come and join him in Oregon to establish churches. They knew each other briefly before they married in July 1839.
They returned to Oregon where Lucyanna was born. When she was but 3 weeks old Lucy Lee died. She was put into the care by her father of Rev. Gustavus Hines, one of the ministers that had come west to help establish churches in the Oregon Territory and his first wife. They would raise Lucyanna as their own child. She was twenty four years old when Mrs. Hines died.
Jason Lee, along with his daughter and the Hines set out for the east via a boat to Hawaii where they hoped to get passage in another ship going around to the east. However, there was no room for all of them and Rev. Lee was the one that went, with the Hines' and Lucyanna finally returning to Oregon.
Later they themselves went to the east planning to reunite Lucyanna with her father. However, by the time they arrived he had died and stated in his will that Lucyanna was to remain with the Hines.'
Lucyanna grew up with the Hines' and went to Willamette University, graduating and becoming a teacher there. Later she would become Dean of Women. She married Francis A. Grubbs, who had been in the same class with her and also became a teacher at Willamette University.
They would have one child, Ethel. When Lucyanna was 39 she died and Francis Grubbs raised Ethel, living himself until she was in her 30's.
Ethel never married.
