Edit: To be clear, I am wanting to pitch an idea to Netflix or some company that may assist with this being made.

I am the last living direct* descendent of Robert Jehu "Bob" Lee of NE Texas. My Uncle Bob Lee fought and was murdered in cold blood by a union officer of the name Lewis Peacock during the Lee and Peacock Feud. This feud was the largest feud after the end of the civil war and was more of a war itself of Confederate vs. Union loyalist.

The Lee and Peacock feud had more killings than the Hatfields and McCoys, missing confederate gold, kidnapping, thievery, murder of a doctor who helped patch up Bob Lee and so much more. To this day there are people searching for his gold and while many people will be subject to say how a confederate captain of my uncle was nothing more than a racist and a slave owner I can promise you he was not.

During the end of the civl war, Bob Lee decided to head home as he felt there was nothing left to fight for. During the first murder attempt on his life, he stated to the Bonham newspaper how he was trying to hire a (and I quote his words) ">!negro!<" in which was not something someone would call a person of colour if they were racist, hateful and a proud "owner" of coloured folk. Furthermore, his father (my multiple great grandfather) was a preacher man and man of God who spoke deeply on the equal treatment of fellow men.

I feel this would make a great documentary on historical facts and a legacy that left Texas in many ways it still remains in our part of the state today.

*all respectful advice is welcome. All others people excuse yourself from replying. No form of hate of anyone will be tolerated nor supported. I am not political and do not side with anyone other than God. All men, women and children are made equal. Period. This is simply about history.*

I am the last living direct* descendent of Robert Jehu "Bob" Lee. My family took part in the Lee and Peacock Feud. I am seeking any help in my research with what knowledge you have. This can go from The Lee and Peacock Feud, The Lee Family farm/property, Bob Lee, etc. Possible paid opportunities.

Facts about the Lee and Peacock Feud:

• More losses than the Hatfield and McCoys
• Shaped the 4 corners (4 counties) within Texas
• Was more of a smaller Confederate v. Union war than a feud
• Due to the "feud" confederate gold (allegedly) remains missing to this day.
• Bob Lee was murdered in cold blood by the cowardly Lewis Peacock.

Backstory:

I am starting a non profit for my family cemetery (the Lee Cemetery) with a goal to restore and protect my deceased kin while helping the surrounding community (helping the elderly, FFA, school scholarships, etc.). Sadly, the cemetery has gone major damage due to storms, dying trees, falling fence and ignorant people destroying headstones and other forms of vandalism. I am planning on putting up a 12 foot (+/-) iron fence with lock and key with spikes at the top and potentially an electric wire to prevent scaling over, 24/7 CCTV with motion sensor lights, replacement headstones for every one that is decaying/broken and new headstone markers for those who are buried with no headstone (having ground penetrating radar done).

I am in college but currently planning my funeral as I have no living family left and want to be buried in my family's cemetery because growing up it was my only safe place and a reflection of my life on how I have always taken care of my family since I was born.

Edit: also would like to add, I am praying one day for a Netflix documentary/series but this will be much later down the line.
