Jen, there is a connection to Gen. R. E. Lee. Try the “Arkansas Family Historian” PDF, from page 30, which is put out by the Arkansas Genealogical Society. http://www.agsgenealogy.org

There are plenty of family legends in every family and I think trying to prove or disprove them is part of the fun of genealogy. Great post!

Keep at it, Jen. My husband’s family had the same story (his middle name is Lee). I was skeptical but eventually (20 years later) discovered they were right, though it is the most remote of connections. Now I just have to find out how I’m related to Wade Hampton!

Yes, that’s the right Moorman family! Samuel Clemens was related through my Charles Clark Moorman’s sister Rachel. (if I remember right). It’s nice to find another cousin.

Well, I don’t know whether or not you are related to General Lee, but I do believe you are related to me, albeit distantly. I have a Moorman ancestor somewhere back there, and I’m pretty sure that it’s the same set because of the name Clark, a related family. And I believe that Samuel Clemens also had a connection to these Moormans. Vickie Everhart at BeNotForgot is connected to those Clarks, so we can all call one another “cousin”!
