In June 1665 John Lee owned land that had been laid out for Thomas Batchelor.

In May 1677, William Lee sold this land to Philip Lynes and Thomas Helgar.
Source: Charles Co., Md. Court Records, Liber G, p. 37, and Liber H, p. 59. 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. Source: Maryland Prerogative Court, Testamentary Proceedings, Liber 8A, p. 305.¹
