On Tuesday last we had a call from some gentlemen from Lake County, Ohio, who
have settled in this county near Mooresville. Messrs. George H. Robinson and
Richard Lee were the gentlemen who called; and we learned from these
gentlemen that there are sixteen men and some young men and a portion with
families who have settled in this county in a circuit of three or four miles,
all from Lake County.
We are glad to welcome these gentlemen and their families. They are
intelligent, enterprising citizens, come from a section of Ohio where the
standard of agricultural improvement is high and they will be an acquisition
to the enterprise and wealth of the county. SOURCE: Chillicothe [Missouri] Spectator, March 29, 1866.
Richard Lee, Sr., was born February 2, 1827, in Cheshire, England. He died
June 14, 1904, in Ludlow, Livingston Co., Missouri.
