The Physicians and Surgeons of the United States (1878) edited by William Biddle Atkinson, p. 463: "LEE, LEVI CALIN, Graysport, Miss., was born at Murfreesboro', Tenn., Oct. 5th, 1824. He graduated from the univ. of La. In 1846, and settled in Graysport. He is a member of the State med. Asso., and of the Grenada med. Assoc. of Miss. He served four years in the Confederate service as captain and major, and was seriously wounded four times. In 1852 he married L. Willie Hunter. She died in 1869, and in 1871 he married Mrs. Mary McAfee, of Grenada, daughter of Robert Williams, Sr."

Dr. Levi C. Lee married Mrs. Mary Williams McAfee in 1871 after the death of his first wife. No readable markers are found for him or Mary Lee in the Williams-McAfee family plot at Odd Fellows, but they are thought to have been buried there where there were several neglected or vandalized graves evident in the 1950s. The Yellow Fever Cemetery, however, was extremely vandalized and neglected for many years and it is possible that Dr. Lee was buried there. Or possibly he and his first wife could be buried at Lamon's Cemetery which was very near their one-time home at Graysport, but that cemetery also has severely grown up since the road has been inaccessible since the 1980s.
In 1866 James Wier wrote a letter from Grenada stating that Dr. L.C. Lee had borrowed several thousand dollars, an exorbitant sum at that time.
The 1870 census shows Dr. L.C. Lee's family:
Levi C Lee 45
Willie b1832 SC (wife)
John L 17 1853 MS
Willie L 14 (female) 1856 MS
Charles 11 1859 TN (Robert Charles)*
Sarah 10 1860 TN
*The 1880 census shows him still at home, but now listed as Robert Charles age 19 (b. 1861 MS).
Robert Charles Lee born 17 July 1861 (actually 1859) married 16 Nov 1882 in Madison Co., MS to Ella G. Bass, daughter of Isaac Bass and Martha Jane Bennett.
National Register of Historic Places:
Dr. L.C. Lee and Mary Williams Lee erected the mansion long known as the Lee-Dubard house by about 1880. It is possible that they built it earlier. Mrs. Lee sold it in 1893 to William M. Dubard after the death of Dr. Lee. It was sometimes called the Lee-Dubard-Coffer house.
The National Register of Historic Places nomination form for the Lee-Dubard house refers to L.C. Lee as "a Grenada builder who constructed a number of homes in the city in the 1880s and 1890s."

"GREENFIELD, Tenn., Dec. 28. (Special.) Mace Ezzell appeared on the streets yesterday with a remarkable war relic. He was using a gold-headed cane that belonged to Mrs. L. C. Lee, of Greenfield. This cane was presented to L. C. Lee by Gen. Robert E. Lee for very great bravery at the battle of Five Pines. Mr. Lee has refused $500 for this relic."
