Was Mr. Billy Lee a Warrant Officer in the Revolution? Honorable Discharge?


This is Mayor Molly Again.  Lorraine Strieby is so delighted that Commander-in-Chief wrote
after  the Revolution that Mr. Billy Lee served in this war with honor.  Here  he is in working
and dress uniforms.  He wore his dress uniform often in the war.

book,  WHY IS A SPY CALLED A MOLE,  in Morgantown, in a school in Monongalia
County and at the Monongalia  Art Center near the Monongahela River which was
so important to Major George Washington in the French-Indian War.   Mr. Lee was
a baby at that time, and his father, Col. John Lee, trained him in riding a horse, two
languages, and finances.
