Francis Lee, the Indian Queen, and Elizabeth Wilson


There's a TON of information online about Francis Lee. The first story I'll point you to is this, as told here a horrific story about a woman who was unjustly accused, convicted, and executed for killing her babies. This version of the story indicates that the woman was a relative of Francis Lee. (In my limited research, I haven't been able to confirm the kinship and it is unclear to me how they would be related.)

Evidently, this story is well known and notorious, with lots of different versions. All of the versions indicate that the Indian Queen Hotel in Philadelphia was involved, which many sources indicate that Francis Lee owned at the time... so we can at least confirm that Francis Lee figured into this infamous story.
