According to Jean Strickland in Who Lived Where in Wayne County, Samuel Lee was said to be the son of Zachariah Lee and Lucy Farmer of Robeson Co NC.

Lucy Farmer was born in 1744 in Halifax Co NC. On 10/11/1763 in Edgecombe Co NC, Lucy married Zachariah Lee b. c. 1745 in Edgecombe Co NC.

Sometime after 2/1770 and before 1779, Zachariah and Lucy migrated to lands which would become Robeson Co NC and settled on Flowers Swamp. Zachariah and Lucy lived the remainder of their lives on the family farm.

Zachariah died sometime before 1790; as his widow Lucy was enumerated in the 1790 Robeson Co NC Census as Head of Household. Lucy died after 1790 in Robeson Co NC.
