     ; NB: I have recently "discovered" the research dating from the 1988 article by William Thorndale, regarding the "truth" of the ancestry of the colonial immigrant, Col. Richard LEE, and disproving any evident link to the LEE family of CotonHall, Shropshire. Thorndale's work was extended by Townsend in 2002. One of my original sources for this line, the 7th ed. of Weis (1992), included the link from the Coton Hall LEEs to Co. Richard LEE, but the 8th ed. (2004) deletes the link citing Thomason (2002).
     The note in Weis (2004) reads: "Gen. 36 through 38, in previous editions, has been proven to be in error. See Neil Thompason, "Lees of Northumberland and Worcester," NGSQ 90 (2002)l213-217)."

SECOND GENERATION
John Lee.

JOHN (2), heir at law, eldest son of Richard 1, was born about 1645, in what is now Gloucester County, Va. He was educated at Oxford and entered Queen's College, July 2nd, 1658, and graduated an A.B., April 30th, 1662; he then studied medicine and probably returned to Virginia with his father in 1664, as we have a record of his being in Northumberland County April 20th of that year. He was seated in Westmoreland County in September, 1666, and a year later was a member of the “committee of the association of Westmoreland, Northumberland and Stafford Counties.” This committee was appointed for the defence of the Northern Neck against the Indians.

March 28th, 1672, Sir William Berkley appointed him Sheriff of Westmoreland County and the next day commissioned him a Justice of the Peace. He was Burgess from Westmoreland County in 1673, and the same year we find him appointed on a commission with Col. John Washington and others to “arrange the boundry line between Lancaster and Northumberland Counties.” He died in the fall of 1673, and is probably buried at Mount Pleasant.

He left no issue.

In 1663, while in England with his wife and children, Richard Lee made his will: He returned to Virginia in 1663, and while the exact date of his death is not known, it was probably early in 1664, as he died prior to April 20th, 1664, as on that date his son (John Lee) made application for 4,700 acres of land due his father, Col. Richard Lee, for the transportation of ninety-four persons into the Colony

I think the John Lee in question is the John Lee who lived on St. Clement's Manor and was a fairly important functionary for Thomas Gerrard. It looks to me like William is John's son (or perhaps brother.) In Nov. 1676, William Lee was granted administration on the Charles Co., Md. estate of James Chancellor. William Lee had married Judith Chancellor the relict of James Chancellor but Judith is now deceased.

In Col. Richard Henry Lee's will dated 6 February 1663, Col. Richard Henry Lee was named as executor; Will of Richard Lee (from NEHGR by G. A. Vaut):
"Will of Col. Richard Lee of Virginia.
     "In the name of God Amen. I, Col. Richard Lee of Virginia, & lately of Stafford Langton in the County of Essex, Esquire, being bound upon a voyage to Virginia aforesaid, and not knowing how it may please God to dispose of me in so Jong a voyage, utterly renouncing, disclaiming, dis­ annulling, and revoking all former wills, either script, nuncupative or parol, and schedules or codicils of wills whatsoever, do make, ordain and declare this my last will and testament in manner and form following, first: I give ad bequeath my soul to that good and gracious God that gave it me and to my Blessed Redeemer Jesus Christ, assuredly trusting in and by his meritorious death and passion to receive salvation, and my body to be dis­ posed of whether by sea or land according to the opportunity of the place, not doubting but at the last day both body and soul shall be re-united and glorified.
     "Next, my will and desire is that all my estate aforesaid, both lease land, free land and copyhold land and houses be with all convenient speed that may be, sold for the payment of my debts to. John Jeffries Esq. and what the sale of that shall fall short of, to be made good out of my crops in Virginia, to be consigned to my good friends Mr. Thomas Griffith and Mr. John Lackey, or one of them in that behalf, and in case the estate of Strafford be not as speedily sold as I desire, that then the best improvements possible may be made from year to year of my said plantation, and my servants labor with such directions and appointments as the said Griffith and Lackey shall order for the better and sooner payment of my debts, and that my number of servants be still kept up, and continued out of the labors by the said Griffith and Lackey or one of them for the better managing and effecting thereof.
     "Also my will and earnest desire is that my good friends will with all convenient speed cause my wife and children (all except Francis if he be pleased) to be transported to Virginia, and to provide all necessary for the voyage, and from time to time till my estate be disentangled and free of all my debts, to provide and allow for them , and every one of them, a competent and convenient maintenance according as the product of estate will bear, relation being bad to the payment of my debts and the annual supply of my several plantations, all which I absolutely refer to the said Thomas Griffith and John Lackey, and after my debts are paid, I give and bequeath my estate as followeth:
     "To my wife, during her life, I give the plantation whereon I now dwell, ten English servants, five negroes, 3 men & 2 women, 20 sows and corn proportionable to the servants; the said negroes I give to her during her widowhood and no longer, and then presently to return to those of the five youngest children, also the plantation Mocke Nock.
     "Item . My will and earnest desire is that my household stuff at Strafford be divided into 3 parts, two of which I give to my son John, and hind him to give to every one of his brothers a bed, and the other part I give to my wife Anna Lee.
     "Item. I give all my plate to my three oldest sons, or the survivor or survivors of them, each to have his part delivered to him when he comes to the age of 18 years.
     "Item. I give to my son John and heirs forever, when he comes to the age of eighteen years, all my land and plantation at Matholick, all the stock of cattle and hogs thereupon, also ten negroes, viz. 5 men and 5 women, and ten English servants for their times, all the corn that shall be found there, all tools, household stuff and utensils thereupon.
     "To Richard and his heirs forever, when he come to the age aforesaid, I give my plantation called Paradise, with all my servants thereupon, all my stock of cattle and hogs, all working tools and utensils, and corn that shall be found thereupon to be for the provision of the said servants.
     "To Francis and his heirs forever, when he comes to the age aforesaid, I give the Paper-makers Neck and the War Captains Neck with five negroes, 3 men and 2 women, and ten English servants, and the stock of cattle and bogs, corn and tools and utensils upon the said several Necks.
     "Item. I give and bequeath to the five younger children, viz.: William, Hancock, Betsey, Aune and Charles the plantation whereon John Baswell now lives and so all along including Bishop's Neck and. t-o the utmost ex• tent of my land towards Brewer's and also four thousand acres upon Potomack, also the two plantations before bequeathed to my wife , after her death to be divided between them or their survivors or survivor of them, also all the rest of my cattle, hogs, corn, household stuff, tools or whatso­ ever is or shall be found upon the said plantations at the time of my death, all which said estate so bequeathed to my younger children after my debts are paid, I desire may be employed upon the said plantations for a joint stock to raise portions of the said children against they come of age aforesaid or the females married. The said servants and what other produce of their labors whether money or whatsoever to be equally divided between them or their survivors or survivor of them but the said land only to be divided between the male children.
     "Item. I give and bequeath to my eldest son John 3 islands lying in the Bay of Chesapeake, the great new bed that I brought over in the Duke of York, and the furniture thereunto belonging.
     "Item. My will is that my horses mares and colts be equally divided in two parts, one whereof to be and belong to my three eldest children and the other to my five youngest, and shall be sold as they increase towards raising money for their portions, and in case any of the three eldest children die before they come to the age of 18 years that then his or their portion come to the survivors or survivor of them, and in case they all die that the whole personal estate equally to return to the five youngest children, but the land only to the male children, and if the five younger children die he• fore they come to the age aforesaid, or the females married, then their parts to be divided among the eldest or survivors or survivor of them.

     "Item. I give and bequeath unto my son Francis after my debts are paid my whole interest in the ship called Elizabeth & Mary, being one eighth part also one eighth in the ship called the Susan, and in case of the death of Francis I give the same to Charles, and in the case of his death to the two girls Elizabeth & Anne. But in the case that by the blessing of God upon the industry and labor of my people upon the several plantations, my said debts be fully satisfied before the said land at Strafford be sold, nevertheless I will and entreat my good friends Mr. Griffith and Mr. Lackey or one of them it may be sold to the most and best advantage, and the produce thereof put out at interest and the interest thereof be employed for and towards the better education of John and Richard equally to assist the one in his travels for the attai11ments of a reasonable perfection in the knowledge of Physick the other at the University or the Inns of Court which he shaII be most fit for, and the principal money to be equally divided between the two daughters when they come to age or be married, and that the said daughters be utterly debarred from all former legacies given to them as aforesaid, but in case of their death then the sale and produce of said estate at Strafford to be equally divided between my eldest son John and my youngest son Charles. Also I desire and order that my wife, my son John and all my overseers that either or one or all shall from time to time keep a correspondence with the said Griffith and Lackey, and order all my affairs in Virginia to the best advantage as they or one of them shall direct them, and ship all my tobacco and what else shall he raised upon the said plantations to the said Griffith and Lackey for satisfaction of my debt and advantage of my children, and do yearly give them an account of all horses, mares, negroes, goods and all other things according as they shall receive directions and instructions from the said .Mr. Thomas Griffith and Mr. Lackey.

     William Lee married Mary (?)
; Her 2nd of 3 husbands. His 3rd? of 3 wives.^4,1 William Lee was born in 1650.⁵ He was born circa 1651 at Dividing Creek, Northumberland Co., Virginia, USA.^6,1 He married Alice (?) circa 1675

     With the help of original 17th-century records — the 1660 Surry County deed naming William Lee and his wife Alice, and the 1680 headright patent where William Lee paid passage for Alice Felton — we have confirmed, through primary sources, that Captain William Lee was married, and that he left legitimate heirs.
     While Alice Felton was on her voyage to Virginia in the 1670s, her husband Thomas Felton passed away. Captain William Lee later claimed her passage, and after she arrived, they married. The land tied to that journey was officially recorded in 1680, marking the beginning of their Lee family legacy in Northumberland County
     Key passage (modernized):
     “This Indenture made … between Wm. Lea and Alice his wife … and Wm. Heath of Southwarke Parish … for 150 acres … which land was given by the said Thos. Felton in his last will and testament to his wife Alice, who is now the wife of said William Lea.”
Significance:
     • Establishes Alice Felton as the widow of Thomas Felton and the new wife of William Lee.
     • Provides a precise legal date (November 1660) and location of their marriage.
     • Confirms that Alice’s inheritance from her first husband transferred lawfully into the Lee family — a standard colonial practice that created a written record of marriage. This deed stands as the earliest verified record of the Lee–Felton union, and is now recognized as irrefutable proof that Captain William Lee of Northumberland County married Alice Felton after her voyage to Virginia.^7,1 William Lee married Judith (?) circa November 1676 at Charles Co., Maryland, USA,

Her 2nd? of 2 husbands; his 1st? of 3 wives.
