      Ann Lee first married Captain Samuel Willett, 1753-1793, in Nelson County, Virginia (now Marion County, Kentucky) on August 12, 1786. James Morrison was the surety (bondsman) on the their marriage bond dated August 12, 1786. Philip Lee, father of the bride, filed a written consent with this bond. They were married by the Rev. William Taylor, a Baptist minister.
