Notes from Carol Lee Smith, granddaughter of Frank Brown Lee sent to me on December 15, 2004: "Frank Brown Lee deserted his family and according to my Dad's recollections he went to Florida and joined a religious cult and was never heard from again. However, my cousin said that his Grandpa Bryan Jennings Lee thought that his Grandma knew where he was but wouldn't tell anyone!!?? I guess that would be Sarah (Thornton) Lee Doty. As far as I know, no one knows where he lived or when he died. My cousin thinks he changed his name."
Frank Brown and Jessie Ruby were married in a religious ceremony on April 2nd, 1891 in Paris, Edgar, IL. They had five sons and a daughter, named Oural Hermas, Vivian Lorraine, Leland Frank, Jennings Bryan, Ferol Sargent and Ruby Monzella.
