Note that the microfilm quality is often very poor and the ink faded, with the edges of many record pages cut off. I have attempted by best transcription here, but mistakes could easily have slipped in. Two sections of the microfilm contain Vestry Minutes and Accounts which I skipped over. It may we worth looking through these for more possible LEE(S) references.
