Produktbeschreibung

Richard Lee was born 1677 Surrey County, Virginia to William Lee and Alice Felton. He married Mary Young in 1695 in King and Queen County, Richmond, Virginia. Richard Henry Lee died on 10 Dec 1726 in West Farnham, Parish, King and Queen County, Richmond, Colony of Virginia. He was the grandson of Colonel Richard Lee and Anne Constable, and the father of John Lee, Esquire.

Many previous Lee researchers failed to note that William Lee the son of Col Richard Lee was of age to inherit when his father passed away in 1664 as Will and Last Testament does not stipulate William was not of age as his younger siblings were mentioned as when probated 1664/65. Most previous researchers and genealogy references have William's birth circa 1650 per Edmund J Lee's research in Lee of Virginia setting that stage William's birth would have been more of circa 1640, as men were to be age 21 to inherit without a legal guardian, yet he would have been legally able to wed at a younger age, as was customary at that time as it appears that he did just that. A practice of when giving a 'circa' date in genealogy research as EJ Lee had done usually gave a 10-year span in general understanding not to be taken literally. The math tells us William Lee would have been born around 1640 to be more accurate to his father's probate instructions which would also coincide with marriage record date for William Lee (Lea was a phonic spelling as was often the case in records of that time as with this record) to widow Alice Felton and land transactions that they had both witnessed as well.

By following the land that the court reversed back to William Lee's sons John and Richard, as William took money and not land, taking into consideration the numerous land, and county redivisions and renaming that occurred over a 100 year period of time to that same land, confirmation of William Lee's sons can be traced.

One could literally be standing in one place in the vicinity of Richmond County, Virginia in 1677, and be standing in the vicinity of Nansemond County, North Carolina today, without taking a step. It is because of the fluidity of these land boundaries and the countless renaming that has stumped researchers for decades making assumptions the person of the research interest had moved about, which was not the case at all.

I will be presenting the evidence to prove up that Richard Lee born 1677 was the son of William Lee and grandson of Colonel Richard Lee from which hundreds of Lees of Virginia descendants lines derive even though they have been denied the acknowledgment of their rightful ancestry.

Autorenporträt

I am a retired professional Genealogist, APG Member (Association of Professional Genealogists) and have over 40 years of genealogy experience and research.

About a decade ago I was hit by a drunk driver and the accident left me disabled with severe spinal injuries so I have been forced into a "retirement" of sorts - my focus remains on my lifetime research and repairing of the Lees of Virginia descendant lines, sharing my lees of Virginia data, writing on my discoveries about our Lees of Virginia lineages, and voluntarily helping others find the truth in their own genealogy and family ancestry when I am able for even though I have limitations now physically, I am still unlimited mentally and my determination has not been thwarted by my hardships. I am always here to help.
