Historical Sketches of Kentucky by Lewis Collins, Maysville, KY. and J. A. & U. P. James, Cincinnati, 1847. Volume 1. Reprinted 1968. Unknown County. The Methodist Episcopal Church. Page 447. WILSON LEE was born in Sussex county, Delaware, November, 1761, and admitted into the traveling connection in 1784. He was sent out to labor in Kentucky, in 1787, and continued to labor in the different appointments assigned him, as a man of God esteemed very highly, for his work's sake, until 1782. From that conference he was transferred to the east, where he continued to labor until he finished his course, by the rupture of a blood vessel, in Anne Arundel county, Maryland, October 11, 1804. Wilson Lee was a preacher of no ordinary acceptability, correct in the economy of himself and others. As an elder and presiding elder he showed himself a workman that needed not be ashamed. professing the sanctifying grace of God, he carried about him the air and port of one who had communion in heaven; his life and conversation illustrated the religion he professed. He hazarded his life upon all the frontier stations he filled, from the Monongahela to the Cumberland river, all through Kentucky. He had to ride from station to station, and from fort to fort, sometimes with, and sometimes without a guide. Lee = Sussex-DE Anne_Arundel-MD http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/unknown/lee.w.txt
