The East Lyme Historical Society is pleased to announce the publication of a new book about the Lee family, Early Lee Family of Lyme and East Lyme Connecticut. This soft cover edition contains essays by Wilbur Beckwith, Historian for both the East Lyme Historical Society and the Town of East Lyme, on several Lees, including Ensign Thomas Lee II, Mr. Justice Lee, William Lee, Colonel Stephen Lee, the Reverend Joseph Lee and his son the Reverend Jason Lee, and Captain Richard Lee. In addition, there are essays by Olive Tubbs Chendali on Daniel Smith, an indentured servant in the Lee household; by Richard Waterman on the slave holdings of the Lee family and on Ezra Lee and the submarine “Turtle”; and by Dr. James Mattie on Dr. Samuel Holden Parsons Lee. This volume sells for $15.00. Also available are two booklets, which cost $5.00 each: The Thomas Lee House, East Lyme, Connecticut: A History and Description, by Celeste E. Bush and Norman Morrison Isham. The original article by Bush, “The Old Lee House”, was first published by the Society in 1917. A revised edition was printed in 1935, together with a description of the house by Isham, Architect and Fellow A.I.A., written in 1914. These articles were reprinted by the Society in 1963, with an Introduction and Postscript by William F. Saars, and have again been printed in 2008. The Thomas Lee House, East Lyme, Connecticut: An Architectural Report, by Cary Carson, with an Introduction by Norman B. Peck, Jr. This pamphlet is a result of research done by Carson, of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, along with researchers from Yale University. It provides very interesting insights into the history of this largely unimproved colonial-era building. All three volumes are available for purchase at the Thomas Lee House, or you may contact us for ordering information at: info@eastlymehistoricalsociety.org All proceeds from the sale of these volumes directly support the mission of the East Lyme Historical Society. Our thanks to Brodeur Ink of Niantic (860.739.6358) for their assistance in making these publications possible. |
