          The Beloved Robert E. Lee by Jeannette Holland Austin


Lee MonumentI have been to the capitol in Richmond, Virginia a number of 
times and viewed the statue of Robert E. Lee. Also, there are several 
life-style busts and statues of him inside the rotunda, one of him a 
younger man astride his horse. These busts are worth reviewing because 
life busts were made by the artist and what you are viewing is the true 
likeness. The feeling which southerners have for this Confederate 
General lives on. He was far more adored than Jefferson Davis, President 
of the Confederancy. From old diaries and letters, we discover why. Lee 
was the consumate gentleman of his day, a man of integrity, caring, 
unselfish. One story of many such is told of one of his soldiers noting 
a purse on the battlefield asked if he could have it, Lee replied " "It 
is not yours. Leave it.""

The Lee family goes back to England and has been traced back to the 
sixteen hundreds. This genealogy is on Virginia Pioneers 
<http://www.virginiapioneers.com> and includes the photo of an old oil 
painting of the immigrant, Richard Henry Lee. Many persons have had me 
trace their Lee heritage, believing that they were descendants of Robert 
E. Lee or Lighthorse Harry Lee. To date, as far as I can tell, the 
descendants remained in Virginia. This monument was erected in Richmond, 
Virginia as a memorial of the Southern people to General Robert E. Lee.

GRAVES. I am researching early Georgia to discover more about the Graves 
family. My gg grandfather was George Graves who married Lulender Gunn in 
1840 in Warren County, Georgia. I can't find George's parents. There was 
a Thomas Graves Sr b 1729 Lower Potomack Hundred, Maryland. He and sons 
are listed on the 1790 Franklin County Census. I can't connect any of 
them to George Graves yet. One thing I know, is that Dr. George Graves 
who married Mary Scott June 26 1790 in Augusta, Georgia is not the 
father of my George Graves. My George Graves and wife moved west through 
Alabama, Mississippi, and settled in Wood County, Texas 1854-1858, where 
they are listed on the 1860 census. I am aware of a Graves family in 
Muscogee County Georgia and wonder if they are related to my George 
Graves? Eddie Graves, Wichita Falls, Texas. egraves at sw.rr.com

PEACOCK. From: S A STANCLIFF Date: 5/17/2009. I've been trying to 
desperately find the gravesite of John Peacock (married to Nancy 
Peyton), both from Maryland. Here's what I know: --first they lived in 
Oglethorpe Co.; he died in Jasper Co., GA; his birth/death dates: 
1745-1826; There are a lot of Jasper Co. deed documents I've found on 
line between he and his sons, etc. I assume he's buried on his 
land...which is hard to pinpoint. He had sons Lewis, Daniel and 
William...just to name a few of his children. His son Lewis married Avey 
Hill, daughter of Mordecai Hill. I've visited the county library in 
Monticello, GA but still can't find where he's buried. Thanks for 
anything you can supply. Susan Stancliff 770-939-4698
