Eliza Lee, who lived in the Olaton community, was born in Kentucky in 1850. She married Isham Lee in Morgantown, Butler County. Isham, who was born in South Carolina in 1848, joined the Confederate Army in South Carolina. Apparently Isham moved to Ohio County after the war and married Eliza in 1870. Isham died in Hartford, Ohio County in 1912. Eliza applied for a widow's pension based on her husband's army service. Isham and Eliza had five children: Robert E. Lee; Hannorah Lee; James A. Lee; Jesse A. Lee; and Charlie Anderson Lee. It looks like son Robert E. stayed in Ohio County and he had several children, so there are (probably) some descendants there today. Eliza lived until 1926 and died in Ohio County - probably in the Sulphur Springs community.
