Yeah, I'm related to Robert E Lee, but not through my maiden name (Lee)!

My maiden name is Lee, and I'm always asked, "Are you related to Robert E. Lee." The answer appears to be, "yes, but not directly." But not through my Lee branch. Instead, it's through my paternal grandmother's side, Jonnie Louise Higdon. Here's a bmp I hope loads. It's two pages long. Grandmother's lineage goes back to the Immigrant Richard Lee who was also an ancestor to Robert E. Lee. So, yep, Robert E. Lee is my (distant) cousin. Funnier still I should be related through my great great grandmother Sarah Margaret Parrott Higdon (her surname was Parrott!).

Here's the vertical pedigree chart:

I hope this is big enough for all to see.

My maiden name is Lee, but I'm not related to Richard Lee The Immigrant, through that line. It's through my Parrott line!
