      (2) The New London Journal Centennial 1875-1975, p. 187:

      Arriving in the New London vicinity in the spring of 1835 were the Lee brothers, Frederick and Hezekiah, who came from Ohio via Bond County, Illinois. They were joined the following year by their brothers John and Jeremiah, and their brother-in-law, Jacob Prickett, and his wife, the former Jane Lee. By the time the first land titles were filed at the Henry County Court House in 1840, the Lee family owned land in Sections 1, 11, 12, and 13 of New London Township; Section 12 was completely owned by Hezekiah, Frederick, John and Jeremiah Lee and Jacob Prickett. This is the section three miles north of New London, east of the Mt. Union road. The settlement and later the rural school there were called Leetown. The Lee families also bought land to the north and east and west, into Canaan Township and Des Moines County. John and Frederick Lee left many descendants in [the] New London area, a few of them still here. However, Harold and Roger Lee are apparently unrelated to them.

      [Note by compiler: In the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index, there is also a record of the marriage of a Jeremiah LEE to Anney TURNER on June 17, 1830 in Shelby County, IL. However, the compiler doubts that the Jeremiah LEE who married Anney TURNER is the same person as "our" Jeremiah LEE. "Our" Jeremiah LEE would have been only about 14 years of age in 1830, when the marriage to Anney TURNER took place.]
