His year of birth is based on his stated age of "18 years" as of Aug 28, 1861 on his Cival War Muster In Roll. His date of death is taken from an affidavait made by his daughter with regard to the transfer of land after the decease of both John and his wife Lucy Nestle Lee.
John E. Lee was a member of Michigan's "Fighting Fifth" Company G, Infantry. John E Lee saw many battles, being wounded at Gettysburg, and imprisoned at Andersonville. He made his escape from the Rebels and returned to his unit up north. At war's end, he returned to Michigan where he married Lucy Nestle, and then made his way, along with his wife and other family members west to Colorado, presumably to make his fortune in the booming mine and precious ores business. John and Lucy were to be the parents of at least 9 children, many of whom continued on to produce large families across the western United States. John E. Lee would pass away at the age of 42, and would be buried in an unknown or forgotten gravesite in Wyoming, or on the Colorado border.
