The court record of Randolph Co., records in May 1815 that Ralph Lee and his wife, Elizabeth Doyle, executed a deed of trust for children, Elizabeth Reed and John D. Lee, the deed was made to George Fisher to be held in trust for the children. This gave proof of his statement, for his mother died within six months after the deed was executed, in November 1815. Some time later his father, Ralph Lee, left for Texas or other point's west and was never heard of again.
After the death of their mother, Eliza, then about fourteen years of age, went to live with the family of her guardian, George Fisher.
By John Doyle Lee:
"At the time of my birth my father was considered one of the leading men of that section of country; Ralph associated with some of the prominent men in Kaskaskia. He was a master workman, sober and attentive to business, prompt and punctual to his engagements.
He contracted largely and carried on a heavy business; he erected a magnificent mansion, for that age and country, on his land adjoining the town of Kaskaskia.
At first ambitious and thrifty, began drinking later until he became a confirmed alcoholic.
By son John D. Lee: The neglect and indifference on the part of my father towards my afflicted mother, served to increase her anguish and sorrow, until death came to her relief.
My father, when free from the effects of intoxicating drink, was a kind-hearted, generous, noble man.
