      !1820 CENSUS:Cumberland County, KY; FHL Film #186179, p. 153. Lists Permit
      as 103 years old in the margin.
      !Permit Lee was first found in a tax record in Shenandoah Co. Virginia in the
      late 1700's, abt 1785. He has a son, Permit Jr. getting married in Monroe Co,
      VA which later became West VA. Next the family is found in Knox Co Tenn in a
      tax record of abt 1805. The family then moves to Cumberland Co. Kentucky. with
      several son-in-laws, appearing in the 1820 Federal Census. It is there that Permit is
      listed as being 103 years old. Several Permit's are found in various states
      from Knox Co. Tennessee, Knox Co. Kentucky to Ray Co. Missouri, in the various years
      from 1830 through 1860 fed. census. It has been very difficult to determine
      which Permit goes with what family and if the marriage found was a second wife
      or another Permit. One or two Permit's are even found in Nauvoo, Hancock Co. Illinois in the 1840's, and two different spouses are listed.
      The spouse identification continues to be the same problem for all the children
      of Permit as well. For example, did the Samuel who married in VA, remarry in
      Knox Co. Kentucky or was that two Samuels who were cousins. So the Family
      group sheet as it sets is a summary of possibilities.
