Searching for any data on William G. LEE, born Howard Co. MO abt 1827. Recently found a bio which stated his father died when he was young and he was adopted by "Mr. WAITE", Howard Co., MO.

William LEE served in the Mexican War and later went West to California. He raised stock and a family in Tulare Co., CA.
Thank you very much.
