The first thing we know of John Lee is that he was in Harford County, Maryland when he married Margaret Howard. How can we figure out which John Lee he is? We look at the history of the church. At the descendants of Col. Richard Lee of Virginia who worshipped there. We look at the location of the church. Who are the other families in the parish?

Margaret Howard's ancestry and story is easy to piece together and well documented to 1066 in England when legendary ancestory Hereward The Wake rallied the fallen Anglo-Saxon kingdom to resist William The Conqueror long after the rest of the nation had surrendered. Daughter of Gideon Howard, she lives among double and triple first cousins. Her mother, Hannah Greeniffe, married her cousin Gideon as second husband. Her first husband was an Orrick. Their sons migrated with half-brothers and sisters Howard. James Orrick can be found in Georgia near John Lee who died 1822 in Putnam County.
