Thank you all for the compliments.

I find that it was John's wife Ella that was buried in Methodist Episcopal Church cemetery (In Commack, NY) and not his mother.

John's sister Ellen Lee's Baptism was at St Mary's, Kingston on 11 March 1841 no middle name.

As for John's death it's still a mystery.

Marriage
May 1, 1880
John A Lee & Ella A Ketcham

I Checked all of John's Siblings baptism records and all are listed with middle names except for Ellen and John. They were the 2 oldest.

Also Ellen and John are not listed in 1850, 1855, 1860 census' with middle initials yet their siblings are. In 1865 census they are listed as Ellen A (24, teacher) and John A (22, Clerk) along with the family.   ???

Pete,

Thank you for that information, I had no idea she was a teacher for that long.

Any idea what religion John A Lee was? If Catholic a baptism certificate could solve the mystery. I tried to find his birth record in Ulster county only to find that they started in 1847.  :-\

Ella A K Lee
b. 1853 New York
d. 26 Dec. 1909 Brooklyn, New York
Father: Barnard Ketcham / Mother: Mary

John A Lee was still alive in 1909.

I can not find what the A stands for in Ella's name. I also can not find out what the A stands for in John's name. I managed to find out what 7 of his siblings middle initials stood for, none of which start with A.

The Lee family immigrated to New York in June 1840 from Liverpool on the Ship Oxford
Peter 25 and wife Mary 19
Jerry 20
Jeramiah 22
John 20 with wife Julia 26 and children Catherine 3, Mary 2, Jerry 3m.
(Looks like 4 brothers)

One of the the brothers lists his birth in Cork County, Ireland
 
They settled in Rosendale, Ulster County, New York and are listed on census' 1850,1855,1860. Owned a farm valued at $2000
Moved to Kingston, Ulster County, New York census 1865 (Peter not listed with family, Could have something to do with the civil war)
On 9 Dec. 1868 Peter died
1870 Census I find the family in Catskill, Greene County, New York, where John is listed as a stone dealer.
1875 and 1880 census' the family is in Brooklyn, again John is listed as stone dealer.

Peter and Mary Ann had 9 children which helped a lot in tracing the family.

John A Lee was born in 1843 Ulster County, New York
