Editor's Note:
According to family
researchers, Rhoda LEE (nee MORRIS) was first married to Peter
VICK. Federal Land Records show that Mr. VICK acquired more than
250 acres in 1859/1860 in Section 33, near the present site of this
cemetery. The graveyard itself appears to straddle lands patented
to a Tilmon GIBSON in 1839 and James LEE in 1858. The latter
undoubtedly is the same man listed above, who died reportedly in
1888. He married the former
Rhoda MORRIS after Mr. VICK's death in the Civil War. Rhoda's
children have been identified as James Andrew
VICK, Angiline LEE, Robert Q. LEE and Ella LEE, the wife of Rufus
Washington KELLEY.
