Memoirs on John Lee are related by Reason L. "Babe" and Martha Lee, "recalling the story of Uncle John's close shave with Civil War bushwhackers. The outlaws threatened to hang John Lee unless he told where his money was hidden. He was 80 years old at the time and scarcely able to defend himself, but his daughter, Harriet, ran outside and attacked one of the men who held the handrope. Apparently she impressed the leader, for he said, "If you can't whip a woman, let that ole man alone!" and they mounted and rode away."
