Zee became the daughter of a wealthy man who lived in New Orleans and married a young Indian girl a few years later. The first-grader became a famous playwright and novelist who wrote for the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal in Philadelphia and New Orleans. In 1745, he, an Irishman, and his wife went to visit their three-year-old granddaughter, Annie Lea Clark. They were about twelve miles from the New Orleans capital at the time of the massacre. At the time, the New Orleans area was a mountainous prairie where, with its abundance of natural lakes, the water had the power to create a sea of water in the vicinity. The next day, Annie and Zee met with their son to make arrangements. Then, together with his older sister, they began to make dinner. But by the time Zee finished, the young couple had moved in more quickly, to their small cottage in the mountains in the northern suburbs of Orleans. Meanwhile, a young woman who had spent the year at the local cemetery had passed away, leaving Annie and Zee to bury in New Orleans.
