Son to Robert Lee.
From an unknown source:
Henry Lee was born circa 1578 at of Hatfield, Buckinghamshire, England.1 He married Elizabeth Fletcher, daughter of William Fletcher and Elizabeth Wentworth, circa 1602 at Hatfield, Buckinghamshire, England.1 Henry Lee died on 24 July 1647 at Hatfield, Buckinghamshire, England.1
But the places are wrong (Hatfield is in Yorkshire) and the estimated dates need revision, given that the marriage appears to be recorded at Campsall, Yorkshire (the bride's parish) in 1584.
Spouse, Elizabeth Fletcher b. c 1580, d. 13 May 1626 Child, Capt. Robert Lee+1 b. c 1604, d. 1663
Lee, Henry passed in 1647 in Honyton, Devonshire, England .[1]

I found this paragraph in Wikipedia: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Lee ) None of Sir Anthony Lee's four legitimate sons left legitimate issue, and the heir at law of his eldest son, Sir Henry Lee, was thus Henry Lee (d. 9 October 1657) of Kildare, son of Sir Henry's Lee's half-cousin, Captain Thomas Lee, '........ However Sir Henry Lee contrived to leave his estates, not to his heir at law, but to a nephew described thus by George Blundell in a letter to Sir Ralph Winwood on 19 February 1611: Sir Henry Lee is dead, and hath left Sir Robert Lee's son of the Forest, with one eye, his heir,)
He must have been born outside of marriage, otherwise Henry (Waring) Lee would have been a legitimate heir.
