WILLIAM J.: William was born 6 Oct. 1845 in Berlin, Rensselaer Co., New York. He died 6 Apr. 1911 in Connorsville, Wisc. He is buried in the New Haven Cemetery in Connorsville, Wisc. He married Lucy Ann FULLER on 20 Feb. 1862 in Farmington, Jefferson Co., Wisc. She was born 26 Oct.1845 in Illinois. She died 6 Dec. 1932 in Renton, King Co., Wash. and is buried in the Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Renton, King Co., Wash. Her Father was Dennis FULLER and her Mother was Diana TUBBS. They had 9 children, then divorced. William 2nd. married Margarita LAMBBERD. No other info. on her. The exact date of the migration of William J. Lee from New York to Wisconsin is unknown, but an examination of the following data will shed considerable light on the subject.
>>>>>> In 1860 William J. Lee is a resident of Spring Brook Twp., Dunn County, Wisconsin, according to the census returns for that year. He is listed as a farmer with real estate holdings worth $500.00 and personal proprety worth $100.00. This farm is described as N1/2 of NW 1/4 of Section 15. In 1860 the other members of the Job Lee family were still residents of Jefferson County, Wisconsin.
>>>>>> William J. Lee and his family continued to live in Spring Brook Twp. for at least the next 20 years as they are listed on the 1880 census for that area. However, the Wisconsin census for 1885 now lists William J. Lee and family as residents of New Haven Twp., Dunn Co., Wisconsin. The date of the migration to north Dunn County is speculation, but the year of 1881 seems a possibility because during that year William sold his holdings in Spring Brook Twp. to his brother, David Harlow Lee. In addition to William J. Lee, others making the northward trek were the Henry Benners, the family of the oldest daughter, Cora Ellnetta, plus several farming friends.
>>>>>> The Lee farm in New Haven Twp. is described as NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of section #29 and can be found on the map of New Haven Twp. that is in the scrapbook area of this story. Also to be found on the same map, just to the east of the Lee farm, is the Henry Benner residence, the family of William's oldest faughter, Cora Ellnetta. The next farm to the east of the Benners is that of Samuel Jones, the husband of another Lee daughter, Emma Louise.
>>>>>> A short distance northeast of the village of Connorsville will be found the New Haven Cemetery, the final resting place for William J. Lee as well as the graves of his oldest daughter, Cora Ellnetta and her husband, Henry Benner. Also buried here is Carroll J. Lee, the 6th child of William J. and Lucy Ann Lee.
