J. Lee ~ farmer, Concord, Pike Co., was born in Monroe county, Ga., in March 1827. His parents were Bryan and Sarah (David) Lee, who were devout Christian people and members of the Baptist church. Bryan Lee was an old resident of Monroe county, and died in 1880, aged ninety-three years. Mr. J. J. Lee received his schooling in the old log school house a half a century ago, and adopted farming as his life occupation. For several years he was engaged in the mercantile business, but now resides on his farm, where in the closing days of his well-spent life he finds ease and contentment in the company of his loving family. Mr. Lee is an unassuming old gentleman who can look back upon a long career without a pang of regret or a tremor in his conscious. Of a sunny disposition, a kind and sympathetic heart, liberal in purse, and a broad and considerate mind, he has the love of everyone, and if he has an enemy in the world nobody knows it. Mr. Lee has been a member of the Baptist church for more than forty years, and is, by noble example as well as by theory, a strict temperance man. Mr. Lee was married Jan. 3, 1850, to Elizabeth McClendon, by whom he had two children, J. H. and J. B. Lee. She is also a faithful member of the Baptist church. Mr. John H. Lee is living in Concord, and is proprietor of the Lee hotel, and is also extensively engaged in farming.
