He settled what was known later as the Noah Harvey farm near the White Church where he died April 10, 1815, and was buried on his farm n.e. of his pioneer log house. His grave is not yet marked. Dudley Lee was born in Ireland. When about eleven years of age he stowed himself away on a ship or was kidnapped and taken aboard. When the vessel arrived at Baltimore, the captain “sold” him (bound him) to serve seven years to pay his passage to America. After his tern of service your Dudley married Senorita Judith Guevarra, a Spanish or Portuguese lady of Baltimore who died while still a young woman. It appears that about the time of the American Revolution, Dudley Lee settled in Frederick Co., Md. Where in the census of 1790, he was listed with his wife and three sons. In 1798 or 1799 her moved to Ryan’s Glade. In Frederick County he married Margaret Fetters, then the widow White and already the mother of four children; perhaps this connection with the White family led Dudley Lee to settle in Ryan’s Glade, a neighbor of the pioneer Henry White. She is buried in the Beach Run, Preston Co., W. Va. Cemetery; her tombstone bears the inscription: “Margaret Fetters Lee 1772-1839, wife of Dudley Lee a soldier of the Revolution 1776-1780.” DUDLEY LEE IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR Dudley Lee was awarded military lot No. 301 in Ryan’s Glade, but in 1797, for $24, he deeded it to James Reid. Lee then was of “of Frederick County” and his wife was “Judy” Lee. Dudley Lee private, Sixth Military Regiment, enlisted July 1, 1778 and was discharged April 1, 1779. He reenlisted in Captain William’s company of Frederick Co., Md. He also served other terms until Aug. 10, 1784. In 1811 Dudley was granted a small pension by his State, and, very tardily, in 1838, his widow was also pensioned “half pay of a private during her life.” (Source: Hoye’s Pioneer Families of Garrett County, Compiled by Garrett County Historical Society, McClain Printing Company, Preston, West Virginia, 1988, page384.
