This has been one of the most well known of Shinnecock families and in spite of having a Negro ancestor, the majority of the Lee's were handsome people showing strong Indian characteristics. Among the famous Shinnecock whalers were Milton Lee, Robert Lee, Garrison Lee, and their brother Ferdinand, who was skipper of "The Bark Amethyst" which, became lost in the Arctic seas. Other well known members of this family were Winifred and Lubin Lee. It has been my pleasure to have known some of the Lee's, including Lillian, Lula, Ferdinand, Belmont, Everett and Robert Lee. This family is still represented among present day Shinnecocks. This excellent photo of Emma Jane Lee portrays a handsome Indian woman with a very proud and strong face, typical of the Shinnecocks of past generations.
