Lee County
The site of Marianna was acquired
through a deed from Mary Ann Harland and the heirs
of her first husband, Daniel Martin. The town
was named in her memory. She was born in
Kentucky May 6, 1802. Died October 25, 1857.
The first court house in Lee County was erected at
Marianna soon after the location of the permanent
seat of justice there in 1873. The county was
named for the great Confederate commander, General
Robert E. Lee.
