I have been following this exchange for a while now. We have discussed this family several times in this Forum, and I have been compiling information regarding it, as John, the brother of Peter Lee, may be my umpteenth great grandfather. Included here is my current file. This information comes from numerous sources and may be in part inaccurate, so use it at your own risk. Nonetheless, there's a lot of good data here and some hints for more. Ignore the "Impossible" and other tags on the John Lees - that's just my notes.

Dennis 2. William C. Lee / Lea b. 1651 VA (or 1650 Northumberland, VA) d. 1687 ?? 1696?? m1. m2. Mary m3. Alice b: 1650 in Richmond, Co, VA (widow of Thomas Felton) John Bursage sued estate of William Lee for note signed by Lee Nov. 17, 1694. The Leas sold land to William Heath of Southwark Parish, Surry, in 1660.

The land was part Charles City Co, part Surry Co, originally granted to William in 1654.

3. William Lee b. 1678 or 1682, Northampton, Northumberland Co, VAm. Dorothy Taylor, ca 1703, Westmoreland Co, VA d/o Thomas Taylor & Elizabeth Harwood b. 1681, Surry, King and Queen Co, VA. Information on Dorothy Taylor comes from "Log Cabins to White House" by Brewer. 13 Apr 1745

Dorothy was witness to will of Henry Williams in Richmond Co.,VA. signed as Dorothy Croucher. Dorothy and her brother Thomas were administrators of her husband William Lee's estate. She was left wearing apparel in her mother's will. "Dorothy to have my Coyas" d. 1717, Richmond Co, VA (Source: Amelia Co. Order Book 7, p. 226, Letters of Administration of Estate of William Lee to Dorothy Lee, relict of William Lee on 12/4/1717.).

Documentation from "Log Cabins to White House" by Brewer. On page 275 "On 19 Jan 1668 William and wife Alice acknowledged debt of 250 acres of land to William Heath. On 5 Sep 1668 William and wife Alice sold their plantation to Thomas Adams (Surry Co. records p.54).

From "Log Cabin" book on p.276 it gives William Lee( who married Dorothy Taylor) as one of his children. On p.273, Richard Henry Lee and Anna Constable are given as the parents of William (husband of Alice) but other sources state that Richard Lee's son William did not marry. Other sources say he married and had a daughter Mary who married a Heath and that he left his estate to her -- which was contested by his brother and returned to the Lee family.

There is a William Lee and Mary Lee, witnesses in Richard Jesper's will, dated 1698 in North Farnham Parish, VA. Need to identify them. Dorothy and brother Thomas Taylor were administrators of his estate. They left to William's grandchildren (children of Wm.3rd) the legacy left to him by his grandmother Elizabeth Taylor. Thomas Hanks received 9 lbs 11 shillings 8 pence; Joseph Hanks 2 lbs2 shillings 6 pence; Richard Lee 4 shillings; none was listed for John Lee who had probably died young.

4. William Lee b. 14 May 1704, North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co, VA

(Source: Parish Registers of North Farnham Church, Richmond Co., VA and Parish Register of Lunenburg Parish 1783-1800, p. 131-135.) Baptized 14 May 1704, N. Farnham Parish, Richmond Co, VA. d. 2 Jul 1764, VA

This was a poor family, apparently either not related or distantly related to the Lees of Stratford Hall. Barbara Vernon notes that Hannah Lee, of the same generation would have been likely to hire a relative as overseer. This implies that there was a relationship between Hannah Lee and Justice Thomas Barber, for whom William became a plantation overseer in Lunenberg Parish in the 1740's. William was charged with the felony death of a slave, but apparently not convicted. The Richmond County Criminal Court minutes for May 18, 1743, give an almost verbatim account of testimony concerning the incident. He appears in Richmond Co, VA in the 1740's and 1750's, specifically in the North Farnham Parish. Late in life, he was poverty-stricken and jailed as a debtor.

Research done by Dr.Robert Stickley in the 1970's, DAR568969, DAR54156, "VA Calendar of State Papers". Clara Funai of VA published a book "The Weaving" on the Lee family which included all she and Dr. Stickley had found. m1. Jane, ca. 1728, Londonderry, Ireland b. 1708 Londonderry, Ireland

5. Sarah Lee b. 1 Jul 1732, North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co, VA m. Thomas Hanks ????????? per Barbara Vernon and "The Lineage of Lincoln" by Barton.

See above notes for Thomas Hanks. Was Elizabeth and Sarah the same person? Did Thomas marry both girls? Another source says that Sarah was unmarried.

5. Richard Lee b. ca 1731 ???, Richmond Co, VA m. Mary Rose b. 1725 d. 1764, MD A Richard Lee is found along with Mark and John in Michael Cresap's Company in Lord Dunmore's War of 1774.

6. John Lee IMPOSSIBLE b. 1745, St. Mary Co, MD *** Conflict: some say this John was the s/o John Lee & Mary Stiles *** d. 1788 Nelson Co, KY/VA m. Elizabeth Thompson, ca. 1769 b. 9 Apr 1752 d. ca. 1824, Nelson Co, KY Pvt VA, Revolutionary War patriot. John Lee's few short years in Nelson Co, VA (formed in 1785) were inauspicious from the beginning. When he settled along the Rolling Fork the region was inhospitable. Indian attacks were frequent and the newly-arriving burdened frontiersmen often sought protection in stockaded Goodin's Fort two miles to the north. In 1782 the peril was so great that a sentry guarded the cabins by night and the fields by day. John Lee served in the autumn of 1782 under Col. Isaac Cox in General George Rogers Clark's expedition against the Shawnee in southern Ohio. He probably rendered other military service as every ablebodied man was needed in the militia for defense against sporadic Indian attack until the late 1780s. Despite his courageous struggle to establish a home on his own land, John Lee's dream did not come true. A clear title was not forthcoming during his lifetime to either of two tracts he attempted to acquire. He took possession of a 400-acre tract south of New Haven that was allotted to him December 3, 1781, with the provision that full payment be made within two and a half years, but Joseph Barnett steadfastly refused to relinquish a prior claim. In February 1787, John Lee sold 150 of the 400 acres on which he was living, received cash payment and granted possession although a deed of transfer could not be drawn up. It was apparently at this time that he bought 86 acres on the Beech Fork about four miles to the north, with the assurance of clear title. Nevertheless, the deed to the latter tract was not recorded until five years after his death. These were the unfortunate circumstances that denied John Lee the longed-for security of outright land ownership, the goal of every settler. John Lee died in the summer of 1788. Elizabeth, the widow, was left with seven children ranging in age from sixteen to a toddling infant. Daughter Eleanor, the oldest child, had married the previous year, and Wilford, the oldest son, was fourteen. The 400 acres of virgin soil had provided a livelihood during the family's occupancy and a small amount of movable property had been accumulated. Widow Elizabeth Lee was appointed executor of the estate August 12, 1788. The inventory made April 13, 1790, listed one slave, about twenty head of livestock, household goods and farming implements at a total value of a trifle over 105 pounds.

Lived in the Patterson Creek valley. Thomas (son) preceded Joseph there and was there as of 1780. They lived next to William Lee, who later moved to KY. Also nearby was Peter Lee. Joseph, Peter, and William were all found in the 1782 census of Hampshire Co, WV, but no Hanks or Lees are in the 1784 census there. Joseph and Ann Hanks later moved to Nelson Co, KY and bought land there on 28 Feb 1787 (150 acres) from John Lee, possibly the brother of Anne. On 10 Jan 1794 widow Nannie and son Joseph entered into contract selling land to son William Hanks, following which she and Joseph returned to Rockingham Virginia, where her family lived (Lees). Joseph returned to Nelson Co, KY.

5. William Lee b. 1748/9 in Richmond Co, VAA William Lee is found in the 1782 Tax rolls of Hampshire Co, WV. William supposedly moved on to KY in 1784 and on to Natchez, MS. William is listed as Mary's kid, but note the birthdate and marriage date.

Could Nancy have been a Hanks from KY who was a widow of a Quaze / Keys?Served in Dunmore's War and during the American Revolution served in the Militia of Skipton (Oldtown) in Western Maryland (Skipton/Oldtown was the home of Michael Cresap). He migrated to Mercer and Nelson Counties in KY with Peter and William Lee, brothers. Also, sister "Nanny" Ann Lee and Joseph Hanks were there about the same time. Records in LA show that Peter and Mark made entries for land grants after 1790.

Mark Lee was then head of a family."On 23 Feb 1790, Don Carlos de Grand Pre noted that a flatboat from KY had arrived in the Natchez District from the USA. One John Lee was a boatman in the employ of Mark Lee, who had descended the river with two flatboats, bringing a cargo of 1500 minots of lime, 18000 lbs. of salt meat, 12 hogsheads of tobacco, and 800 lbs of salt.Notice of people who arrived from KY at Natchez 23 Feb 1790...on the boats were Mark Lee, John Lee, John Waziam, John Nuoy, William Gifford, Leonard Bocoman, Robert Fryel, Ramon Bocoman.

Dorothy was witness to will of Henry Williams in Richmond Co.,VA. signed as Dorothy Croucher. Dorothy and her brother Thomas were administrators of her husband William Lee's estate. She was left wearing apparel in her mother's will. "Dorothy to have my Coyas" d. 1717, Richmond Co, VA (Source: Amelia Co. Order Book 7, p. 226, Letters of Administration of Estate of William Lee to Dorothy Lee, relict of William Lee on 12/4/1717.).

From "Log Cabin" book on p.276 it gives William Lee( who married Dorothy Taylor) as one of his children. On p.273, Richard Henry Lee and Anna Constable are given as the parents of William (husband of Alice) but other sources state that Richard Lee's son William did not marry. Other sources say he married and had a daughter Mary who married a Heath and that he left his estate to her -- which was contested by his brother and returned to the Lee family.

There is a William Lee and Mary Lee, witnesses in Richard Jesper's will, dated 1698 in North Farnham Parish, VA. Need to identify them. Dorothy and brother Thomas Taylor were administrators of his estate. They left to William's grandchildren (children of Wm.3rd) the legacy left to him by his grandmother Elizabeth Taylor. Thomas Hanks received 9 lbs 11 shillings 8 pence; Joseph Hanks 2 lbs2 shillings 6 pence; Richard Lee 4 shillings; none was listed for John Lee who had probably died young.

-----------------------------------************************

Edmund Jennings Lee had not found any record of what happened to one son William Lee and blew it off finally saying he appears to have died young. Weelllll sort of.

He did die earlier, 1694-5, than other siblings, leaving a 18 year old daughter and three younger minor sons. The daughter Mary had married William Heath at age 15 had two sons, Thomas and Samuel the last being born after his father died. She re married to Bartholomew Schriever who is the villain of this story. He was of age so grabbed the estate and paid out yearly a gentlemans living to the three boys; Wm, John, and Richard. What he paid was far less than the estate could manage; and they deserved more; but it was legally large enough that they could not sue their guardian until ALL of them were of age. The instant the youngest turned 21 they did sue. BUT Not in probate court but common pleas court to recover their inheritance. And not in the original county (Westmoreland) but the county had been split and then re-split in the mean time (at this time it was Surry Co) and worse the judge (a VIP ) did not travel to them he stayed put and they had to come to him in King and Queen County. (This was a MAJOR estate -and why they had a superior judge in a higher court- in todays terms it would be multi millionaire stuff). AND

It was 7-8 years out of time 7 -8 years later than expected. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong court, and why E J Lee missed it. Bart and Mary got her furniture and what money he had sequestered (the court knew he had milked estate, said so, but did not bother to try to find where he had squirreled money away--{Bermuda}), just gave Mary HER furniture, and kicked them off land and divided it 3 ways each boy getting roughly 1/3. Bart packed up in high dudgeon and went back to England (assume they stopped at Bermuda where $$ were) - and lived life of rich ex colonial gentleman.

OK first problem solved. This I got from two separate books /people who had done work independently, and I cross-checked just to be sure. (A Weavin' and Log Cabin to White House

Next problem

William (ii) son Wm (i) and grandson of Co Richard died 1717 (about 13 years after court bruhoo); leaving 4 sons. And I will stick to our line his son Charles b 1706 moved to new land at North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co., Va.

Charles moves again dies 1799 at-really near just out of town- Leesburg, Cumberland Co., Va. leaving cash to a son William (others got land) and just down the road, land adjoining Charles is a William Lee that the previous genealogists had assumed was his son.

BooBoo!

It was a reasonable assumption. Just wrong. Charles died in 1799 Cumberland Co Va and had a son William. There is a William Lee (md Ave Noel) whose land adjoins Charles land so they assume he is the son. Unfortunately they happened to buy adjoining lands at about the same time and they were cousins, but unwarranted assumption as to being his son.

Then I found the full name of James Garnett Early Lee b. 23 feb 1777 known as Garnett Lee usually, AND known to be son of William and Ave Noel and that triggered my memory that James Lee had md Mary Clark Garnett and I cross connected Wm and Ave to James Lee and Mary Garnett who also had known son William but unknown what happened to him if we connect Wm and Ave to Charles. To add to the surety I was right, Wm and Ave moved about 1788 to Evington Road Bedford Co Va. just a bit down the road from James and Mary Garnett -- (Ah Ha!)----- so this time making the assumption that the William who was close to James was his son works. James died by the way 1791 Probate Bedford Co Va. With that I was able to disconnect he wrong William (md Ave) and get him to correct papa- and so was left connecting MY William (1738-1808) to Charles. Reason for cash was my William had gone on to Hardy Co Va. (now West Va) at the same time, abt 1760, his father Charles had moved from Richmond Co where he was born (The residual of the original estate was now in Surry Co.-but had been split up so much the land left to Charles was too small to make him well off - or as well off as he wished) then on to Leesburgh in Cumberland Co and so our William had no use for land- he had his own- but hundreds of miles away. SO cash.

Oh me oh my long story. I also jumped 4 years work in getting all of the above. I followed Loads of dead ends.

Notes for Alice Mrs FELTON: Subj:Alice Felton Date:10/23/2006 4:19:29 PM Central Daylight Time }
Today I am tracking Alice Felton, I have found nothing on her in Virginia, and if she had married Thomas Felton she would have been 7 years old. From what I have found below she must have came to Virginia as a servant met William Lee (the rogue that he was) and married him. Still found nothing on marriage though. I have been doing census on Williams and Richards (Tax list) (census) WM would have to be in Maryland; that is where his father left him a home and land. I found Col Richard Lees will he made in England when he and his family were in their home there, he went to sell all and give up England for good. He had made many trips back and forth over the years and owned 1/8 of 3 ships for transporting goods back and forth and people. Francis Lee went back to England lived, raised his family and died there in 1714. Col Lee left the ownership of the 3 ships to (Elizabeth-Mary-& Susan 1/8th eh.) to Francis and if he dies first it goes to Charles and the two sisters, Elizabeth and Ann. Jim, how do I go about getting Edmond Jennings Lees book? Did you find anything in there on Alice? Talk to you two later Ellie

  • *************** New Research on the Wraysbury Deeds by Alan Nicholls. In 1999 I gave a presentation to the Lee Society of Virginia at their AGM concerning the English ancestry of Colonel Richard Lee, the founder of the Virginia Lee family. This presentation was placed on my webpage on 24th May 1999. In that presentation I included evidence that Colonel Richard Lee had signed a series of three indentures relating to a purchase by John Lee of Coton of a property at Wraysbury in Buckinghamshire, England in 1652. Colonel Richard's signature on these deeds had been used by all previous researchers, with other evidence, to show a direct connection between the Lee family of Virginia and the Coton Lee family of Alveley, Shropshire. However since the 1999 presentation my research has revealed evidence using only original contemporary documents that these indentures were in fact signed by Richard Lee, fishmonger, son of Lancelot Lee of Coton. This Richard was the apprentice of John Lee, fishmonger, citizen of London and gentleman. I have shown previously that this John Lee (1600-1682), son of Thomas Lee of Coton (1560-1620) was mistakenly identified as a saddler by all earlier researchers. As I reported in the 1999 presentation the signatures on the Wraysbury deeds seemed to match extremely well with those few other original signatures of Colonel Richard Lee that I had found. He signed himself Rich: Lee in all cases and I found these signatures the most persuasive evidence to authenticate his claim to a Coton ancestry. However this new evidence has overturned those conclusions. The new research is detailed below. The research undertaken since the 1999 presentation has not found the English ancestor of Colonel Richard Lee but it is challenging the fundamental assumptions made by earlier researchers. I am continuing to follow my lines of research and hopefully will carry it through to a successful conclusion. I will post articles on my webpage as I complete each phase of the research. As with all research of this nature there are gains and losses but I view each reversal with a positive attitude that will propel me forward with new knowledge to more gains and, hopefully, less losses.
    • *************************************

Jim, I have not done English research on Richard and Henry Lee of York. They were obviously related, probably brothers. Since Richard was born c. 1619, and appears to have been the older, it would appear that Henry was born c. 1620. Since his first child was b. 1645, this fits well. There were several Richard Lees and several Henry Lees on the early emigration records. To my knowledge, no one has proven whence they came or which county they settled in. The first problem in research is that there is no proof that Richard Lee of York was the same person as Col. Richard. The research that has been done has been aimed at the origin of Col. Richard Lee. Two of the most recognized articles are: Article by Wm. Thorndale, National Genealogical Society Qtrly, Dec 1988 Article by Ludwell Lee Montague, Va. Magazine, Jan. 1954. The descendants of Col. Richard have not enthusiastically accepted any of the research done. One of them has recently engaged an English researcher, Alan Nicholls. Nicholls has a web page which you can Google up. Hope this helps. Will send another message on the Henry Lee descendants. Cary Adams

From what I have found below she must have came to Virginia as a servant met William Lee (the rogue that he was) and married him. Still found nothing on marriage though. I have been doing census on Williams and Richards (Tax list) (census) WM would have to be in Maryland; that is where his father left him a home and land. I found Col Richard Lees will he made in England when he and his family were in their home there, he went to sell all and give up England for good. He had made many trips back and forth over the years and owned 1/8 of 3 ships for transporting goods back and forth and people. Francis Lee went back to England lived, raised his family and died there in 1714. Col Lee left the ownership of the 3 ships to (Elizabeth-Mary-& Susan 1/8th eh.) to Francis and if he dies first it goes to Charles and the two sisters, Elizabeth and Ann.
