It is very possible that Jesse is in an unmarked grave.

Jehu may suppose to be spelled Jehew, in the 1820 census it is spelled Jahue????

I believe first name is Jesse & Jehu is a nickname, a combination of Jesse & Fitzhugh.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Father: Richard Henry Lee b. circa 1707-10 Buckingham Co., VA d. circa1795 Jackson Co.,TN

**NOTE: I believe that some people are confusing this Richard with another Richard Henry Lee who was very influential in America's early history. See the following:

As it can be seen, spouses & children do not match. Also, place of death & location of burial do not match. According to a family record, Richard was raised and lived most of his life in Buckingham Co., VA. Sometime before he died he moved to Baliston, near Arlington, VA where his wife died. Richard then moved to Jackson Co., TN where he died. Richard's father was said to have been born in England and his mother in Whales.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mother: Mary Elizabeth "Betsy" Miller b.circa 1746 DE d.? VA.
Mary's parents were from Germany

Mary was Richards 2nd wife. His 1st wife was Mary Gresham 1715-1800, by which he had at least 13 known children.

Family history states Jehu was buried in Lee Cemetery, Jackson Co., TN.
Also states born somewhere around 1760 to 1765 Buckingham Co. or Washington Co., VA and died somewhere around 1843 to 1850 in Jackson Co., TN.
Jehu married Mary Elizabeth circa 1789 in VA.

NOTE: I think this census could be for Jesse. Living next to him is a Richard Lee but if you go by the birth date of 1707, Richard would have been over a 100.
