Dear Mr. Lupo
In your research on names carved into Stone Mountain, have you come across George Washington Lee? He was from “Gibraltar” (later renamed Stone Mountain) and his father Drewry was the first postmaster. George would later be the controversial Confederate Provost Marshal of Atlanta. I have written quite a bit on him. Any help is appreciated.
I haven’t run across him. Mainly I take pictures of any carvings I can find then try to look them up at Ancestry and other online sources. Some are easier to find than others. There’s a carving with a cluster of names carved around 1879 about halfway to the top, which I haven’t been able to match with anyone. However, I’ll keep an eye out for the name. Thanks!
