Volume II of the History of Campbellsburg, IN, 1849-1949 shows that the 1866 - 1872 Campbellsburg Business Directory show the business of Lee and Son as a retail liquor dealers and show in parenthesis Mitchell and Joseph Lee. Joseph Lee is indeed his son and list his occupation as "druggist" in the Census. His birth date was likely 1798. In August 16, 1850 Census, he gave age as 52; In June 26, 1860 Census, he gave age as 61; In June 14, 1870 Census, he gave age as 72. I can find no birth record on Ancestry.com. Gravestone list death date as June 15, 1871 and age at death as 75 years, 1 month and 21 days, which would calculate to birth date of April 25, 1796. Hence the gravestone age is inconsistent with the 3 Census. The 1860 Census is off one year from the 1850 and 1870 Census. Trees on Ancestry.com give birth date of July 25, 1798, which is possible, but un-sourced. While born in KY, the 1850 and 1860 Census show him living in Monroe, Putnam County, IN, and Greencastle Ward I, Putnam County, IN, respectively. By the 1870 Census, he was living in Brown township, Washington Co., IN, a widow living with his single daughter Aretta (Retta). His son Joseph G. and his family were listed below him on this Census. Some Trees on Ancestry.com give another child, Martha Jane Lee, born March 1827 in Washington Co., IN., but no sources are given. I have not confirmed this relationship. I welcome input. He married Sarah Wright on January 24, 1826, in Washington Co., IN. While Sarah was also born in KY, in 1820 she was living with her family in Washington Co., IN. One would assume Mitchell Lee was living there, too, when they married. More research needs to be done to determine when Mitchell Lee came to Washington, Co. I do not know when or why he moved to Putnam County, IN. He is buried with his wife, Sarah Wright. Linda Standish wrote this biography.
