From what I was told in about 1960, by an older Bee family member in NJ, he fathered two daughters, both of whom died in childhood from a disease. His wife was reported to have remarried but had no other children. I don't have any documentation to back this up. I was working on a family tree for school when this information was shared by a family member who was born in the late 1800's. Apparently this is what she was told.
What else can I help you with?

The phrase "like a stonewall" refers to General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, a Confederate general during the American Civil War. It was said by General Barnard Elliott Bee Jr. during the First Battle of Bull Run in 1861. Bee used the term to describe Jackson's unwavering defense, rallying his troops by pointing to Jackson and his men, thus coining the nickname "Stonewall."
When did Stonewall Jackson get his nickname?
It was at the First Battle of Bull Run, when Brigadier-General Barnard Bee shouted "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall!" It is possible that this was meant as a criticism - that Jackson was slow in coming across to help Bee's brigade. But Southerners prefer to think that it was meant as a compliment to Jackson's stout defence of his position, and Bee is supposed to have added "Rally behind the Virginians!" As Bee was mortally wounded later that day, no-one was able to ask him which version was correct.

That is the favorable interpretation of the nickname - praising Jackson for holding his position at a bad moment in the battle. Others have claimed that he was criticizing Jackson for not coming across to help Bee's own brigade. At any rate, Bee was mortally wounded later the same day, so nobody was able to ask him which version he meant!
