A visit to the Lee Family Cemetery ...
Introduction ...
Note: This cemetery is a family graveyard and located on private property. Respect the landowner's rights and seek permission before visiting.
Since our focus is on geography, we don't have burial or interment information. Nor do we have any contact information for the Lee Family Cemetery. For information of that nature, we suggest the Find-A-Grave <1> website: The Lee Family Cemetery (FG ID #2426547).
Note: We have organized the cemeteries in our Gazetteer based on a problem that we had while working on our own genealogy. As an example and without specifying the cemeteries involved, we found an ancestor that we believed to have been buried in one cemetery had actually been buried elsewhere.
We discovered that his burial plans had changed at the last moment and the family had scrambled to make new arrangements. By looking at nearby cemeteries, the surrounding communities and in newspapers of the period, we were finally able to locate his burial site.
Should you find yourself in the same situation, we hope that our Gazetteer helps you discover your lost ancestor.

| <1> | The Find-a-Grave website is an excellent research tool with information about a cemetery's location and interments. They also offer a forum for their members which can provide additional help. More information about Find-a-Grave can be found on their website: findagrave.com. |
| <2> | If you're interested in how the shape of North Carolina's counties, including Johnston, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries. |
| <3> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Lee Family Cemetery) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'. |
