The Below is a History by Mary Lee   (texasrowdyred@yahoo.com)

Carrie Clementine Lee

Clementine was born in the year of 1862 in Arkansas. Her father enlisted in the Civil War August 12, 1861. It is my conclusion that Clementine was born between January and April 1862. 

On the 1870 Crawford Co. Arkansas census Clementine was listed as fourth child of William and Ellen Lee and was listed as 8 years old: born in Arkansas. 

She and Jesse Cummins met in Texas and were married in Fannin Co. Texas Jan.10, 1878 . Sadly Clementine had died by the 1880 census for Fannin Co. For Jesse was again living with his parents and brothers. His mother was listed as rheumatic. Jessie was born in Kentucky and was only 20 at the time of their marriage.

I applied for a copy of their marriage license and much to my surprise Linda Lee a Deputy for Fannin Co. Clerk's Office, sent the ORIGINAL marriage record that had never been picked up. She said she knew I would treasure it and I do. Mary
