Biographical Memoirs of Wells County, Indiana", 1903, B. F. Bowen, Publisher.

William Lee, an early settler of Ohio, was a native of Virginia, as was also the mother, whose name before marriage was Martha Little. These parents were married in Virginia and for a few years thereafter lived in that state. Mr. Lee followed the shoemaker's trade for a livelihood. Thinking to better his financial condition further west, William Lee moved to Piqua, Miami County, Ohio, where he ran a shoe shop about five years and at the expiration of that time engaged in agricultural pursuits in the county of Clark. About the year 1847 he took up his residence in the newly settled county of Delaware, Indiana, where he entered a tract of land and began the work of clearing a farm. After a few years there he disposed of his place and purchased land in the county of Wabash, where in due time he cleared a large farm and became well-to-do financially. Subsequently he sold out and moved to Huntington county where he lived the remainder of his days, dying on his farm, a short distance
from Huntington.
