No children from this marriage. Susannah's first husband was Elisha Turner. Their last child, Elizabeth, 14, was in the Lee home in 1850, below.

I've drawn almost verbatim on an unidentified source that I dub Gen80.

Cader is the son of John Lee #11552 and Morning Elizabeth Altman. This John Lee is labeled by some researchers as John Lee Jr., with his father designated John Lee, Esquire. I've chosen to simply identify them by my database ID numbers. John Lee 11552, in his will, identified himself as "Senior" because he had a son named John Lee. And so it goes.

The name "Decater" is indicated on some records, but "Cader" is a common name in the Lee lineage.
