Martha Emeline Shelby LEE married Washington Levi LEE(b ca 1825 TN)30 June 1846 in Henderson County, TN. They came to Texas ca 1857 and settled in Anderson County. Levi enlisted in the CSA, 1st Texas Infantry, Co H and was killed in battle at the Battle of Gaines Mill on 27 June 1862, Cold Harbor, VA. His CSA burial record shows Anderson County, TX as his resting place although that is hard to imagine being transported back to TX in 1862 for burial.

The children to this union were:
Robert Lawrence 1844-1925
Sarah Adeline 1848-1880
Mary Elizabeth ca 1850-1859 (killed by falling tree)
John Bruce ca 1852-1887 (died from Thyphoid)
*James Henry ca 1854-1924

No info can be found on Washington Levi as a child. We have been unable to verify his parentage etc... Would love to speak with anyone who can break down this 35 year "brick wall".
