" Thomas Lee, his father, was born January 17, 1799, in Franklin township, Herkimer Co., N. Y.; was brought up there in the manner common to farmers' boys, and, when a young man, obtained the position of a "boss" on the Erie Canal. Subsequently he engaged in hauling wood to Utica, N. Y., and still later worked on a canal near Richmond, Va. In 1827 he was married, in Oswego county, to Lucinda Waugh, who was born there July 10, 1811, a daughter of 'Squire Norman Waugh. To this marriage the following named children were born in Oswego county: Truman T., a farmer of Rock county, Wis.; John P., the subject of this sketch; and Margaret, who married Elanson Rose, of Camden township, Lorain Co., Ohio, and died in Norwalk in 1890. After marriage Mr. and Mrs. Lee located on a farm in Oswego county, and he was engaged in agriculture there until 1833, when with their three children they migrated to Camden township, Lorain Co., Ohio, where the father had purchased, in 1832, 150 acres, at three dollars per acre. On the Journey to Ohio, the Waughs and Douglasses accompanied them, and the three families occupied one log cabin until Thomas Lee built a rude shelter on his farm, which he occupied until 1848, when he built a commodious dwelling house. During the first spring the family passed in Ohio, the father suffered from erysipelas, the disease causing him the loss of his left hand. He died in 1878, and was buried in Camden township. He left his widow and children a valuable property, including the old homestead, on which she resided since coming to Ohio. The children born to her in Camden township were as follows: George F., a farmer of Rock county. Wis.; Philip E., who died at Trinidad, Col., where lie had resided for many years; Norman, a farmer of Camden township, Lorain county; and Andrew, who is also a farmer of Camden township."
