James Lee, b Ireland c 1808; mar Julia Goodman, b cir 1812 in Ireland. They came to NY and had 4 children before migrating to Des Moines c 1868. The children were Delia, c 1845; Rosa, cir 1851; Lizzie, c 1855 and Thomas, c 1859. 1866-67 shows James as a laborer, res e s 6th bet Court Ave & Vine; 1871 shows him as a railroader residing W S 5th bet Vine & Court Ave. 1880 shows him 7th ward. Since Julia is the only Lee in the area cem, I assume she is James' wife. I believe she was Catholic, and He was protestant. (family stories). I am searching for any info on this family. Perhaps someone can find one of the girls. Rosa was my ggrandmother. Thank you.
