He first appears in census records in Knox County, Missouri with his parents, siblings, and paternal grandfather, Zedekiah** Hammond, and was there through the 1880 census.
In 1889, he married Eva Baty, daughter of William Myers Baty and Mary Selby. Eva and her parents had come from Missouri and settled in Page County, Iowa by the 1880 census, and later came to Cass County, Nebraska.
Lee and Eva's first known child, Arthur Lewis (1890-1965), was born at Avoca.
Lee and Eva appear on the 1900 census in Cass County's Liberty Township (which includes Avoca), with sons Artie, 8; and Albert, 7. The census was recorded just before the birth of their third son, Richard.
Lee and Eva remained in Cass County apart from a time then they briefly removed to Cedar County, around 1920.
Cass County Genealogical Society records show that Lee died in 1957 and was interred at Cass County.
(**Lee's grandfather Zedekiah Hammond was not the Maryland Revolutionary War patriot of the same name, but was likely related. His grandfather Zed married Eleanor Hammond 10 Sep 1833 in Maryland, and first appears in Missouri on the 1840 census. Eleanor d. after the 1850 census in Knox County, MO; Zedekiah was still alive for the 1880 census at that same place.)
