George Laub Lee (1814-1880) was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. His father died when George was eight, and he was sent to live with a man named George Weydler. Laub received a limited education and went into carpentry. He was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1842, and soon after traveled to Pittsburgh, where he met Joseph Smith, and then on to Nauvoo, Illinois. In 1845 he was adopted by John Doyle Lee as his "sealed son," and both Laub and his wife Mary Jane took 'Lee' as their surname. Following the expulsion of the Mormons from Illinois and Missouri, the Laubs traveled with Lee to Utah. Laub spent most of the rest of his life in and around Salt Lake City.
