Elizabeth Lee
Notes for Elizabeth Lee: From William W. Grier: The Lee-Howson connection has been much confused in print. When Lee of Virginia was published, it was stated that Richard Lee of Cobb's Hall, Northumberland Co., Virginia, (the founder of the family), had a daughter Elizabeth, who married Capt. John Howson. It has since been proved that Elizabeth Lee married Capt. Leonard Howson, and that Capt. John Howson was their son and married Elizabeth Kenner (31 V 355).³ GKJ-8.

Elizabeth Lee
After Mr. Howson died, Elizabeth, who was my ancestress, married John Turberville (my ancestor), who was born ca. 1650 in Co. Worcester or Gloucester, England and died bef 9 Oct 1728 in Lancaster Co., VA.³

Message:
The Ship, "Isaac & Benjamin," under command of Mr. John Plover,sailed from England to Virginia, arriving between 1675 and 1697, carrying Anthony STEPTOE, Patience STEPTOE, and John COSSENS (among others). Anthony Steptoe reportedly was born in 1653, in Middlesex County, England, and died in 1709 in Lancaster County, Virginia. Anthony is reported to have been the third son of Sir Philip STEPTOE, reportedly of Cidrig/Cudrig/[Goodrich?], near Bishop's Walton, in Hampshire, UK. Anthony Steptoe married Lucy Stevens or Stephens who died before 1678 in England. Children of John Steptoe and Lucy Stephens include: John STEPTOE, born circa 1673 in England, and Judith Steptoe, born circa 1675 in England. Anthony Steptoe may have been indentured to John Cossens and served him for a period of six years, prior to 1697. The John Cossens to whom Anthony Steptoe may have been indentured for six years reportedly also was from Cidrig/Cudrig, near Bishop's Walton, in Hampshire. Not clear how Patience Steptoe may have been related to Anthony Steptoe. Seeking background and additional information on the Steptoe Family & Cossens Family in England, circa 1675.
