The Boston Telegram says:"An old landmark gone. The Lee house, in Concord, Massachusetts, built in 1688, was burned to the ground a short time since. It was a large roomy, two story manison, seventy-five feet in lenght, and was reparied and fully fitted up at great expense three years since by S. G. Wheeler Esq. Its owner, when it was destroyed was Capt Ellery. The Lee House was occupied during the revolution by Doctor Joseph Lee, a relative of Samuel Lee. Many years afterwards it passed into the hands of the old millionaire, Billy Gray, who sold it in 1820 to the late Joseph Bassett Esq.

Mrs Williams was born in this house and lived in it many years after her marriage, it being the property of her father, SAmuel Lee. Many of her children were born while she resided in this home. The house remained her mother's after her father's death, until her family left for Detroit in 1815. Mrs. Williams requested that $600 of her etate be appropeiated for the erection of a family monument. Her children added to this smmount sufficient to erect a handsome plain marble family monument, which stands on one of the most beautiful spots in Oak Hill Cemetery, in Pontiac, surrounded by most or many of the members of her family. The monument bears the masonic emblems of the Master Mason, Mr Williams having been a member of the order. It also bears the family coat of arms, which is the Williams family coat of arms in Wales.
