His wife, from jealousy of the favor shown to "the white woman" and her child, always treated them with great hostility.

On one occasion she struck the infant with a tomahawk, and narrowly missed her aim of putting an end to it altogether.[41] They were not left long in the power of the old hag after this demonstration, but on the first opportunity were carried to a place of safety.
The family of Mr.Lee had resided in a house on the Lake shore, not far from the fort.

Mr.Lee was the owner of Lee's Place, which he cultivated as a farm.

It was his son who ran down with the discharged soldier to give the alarm of "Indians," at the fort, on the afternoon of the 7th of April.

The father, the son, and all the other members of the family had fallen victims on the 15th of August, except Mrs.Lee and her young infant.
