Biography
Anne was born in 1738. She passed away in 1768. [1][2]; she was said to be age 30 at death in transcriptions of her gravestone inscription, giving an approximate year of birth.
On December 5, 1757, Richard Henry Lee married Anne Aylett, and they had four children: Thomas, Ludwell, Mary, and Hannah. The family lived at Stratford Hall until 1763, when they moved to Chantilly-on-the-Potomac, a three-and-a-half story, ten-room home he had built on a bluff overlooking the Potomac River. Situated on 500 acres three miles away from Stratford Hall, Chantilly was said to have a finer view of the Potomac River.[3]

John Akard III
Anne was married to Richard Henry Lee (January 20, 1732 – June 19, 1794) who was an American statesman and Founding Father from Virginia, best known for the June 1776 Lee Resolution, the motion in the Second Continental Congress calling for the colonies' independence from Great Britain leading to the United States Declaration of Independence, which he signed. He also served a one-year term as the President of the Continental Congress, was a signatory to the Articles of Confederation, and was a United States Senator from Virginia from 1789 to 1792, serving during part of that time as the second President pro tempore of the upper house.
