Raided with John Hunt Morgan, CSA, sent to Camp Chase OH, later studied medicine. Evidence of two marriages from gravestones.
Younger brother to Jos Lee found in this yard.
Contributor was unable to locate a stone for this man, Dec 31, 2009.

Another bro, Nathaniel Lee, was the source of the name of Natlee, KY.

On March 25, 2015, Sue Baker and I returned to Pleasant View for the second time. On our first visit the cemetery was very badly overgrown and we were hoping that it would be in better condition in early spring before things began to grow. We had worked our way over to the graves of Cynthia (Powell) Lee, Grandison's first wife and my g-g-g-grandmother and Sarah (Sally) Yarbrough Lee, his second wife. I stood between the two and announced 'this is where he should be!'. There was nothing there but a plain block of concrete that could have been a footstone but it was larger than most. Having agreed that that is definitely where he should be, we began to move a little soil, little by little. First, we revealed the bottom of a stone that read, simply 'Lee'. Gradually removing a couple of inches at a time, we revealed the death date and then the birth date. Our excitement was mounting because we knew we had located a stone that had been buried for quite a few years. The photos show the results of our search.
