They came to Missouri in 1822, settled in Pike County and lived there till they migrated to Grundy county in 1856, and located in Harrison Township where Mrs. Lee now lives. Her father died August 24, 1867, and her mother, February 27, 1870. Miss Scott was nineteen years of age when she came to Grundy County. She was united in marriage, April 30, 1861, to William Lee, who was a native of Clinton County, Missouri, born November 13, 1836. His parents were originally from Virginia, and his father died August 6, 1856, and his mother, in February, 1864.
