[1] The PROFILE The goal of this project is to ... SHORTEN this profile, so I have copied/pasted all here...........

PROVE the Lee lineage from Richard Lee born in Virginia 1753, and married Elizabeth Scott

Right now this project just has these Researchers, Managers

Robin Lee removed-9/28/17
Nancy Stanley removed-9/28/17
Caley Gredig
Jerry Price
AND me Carole Taylor. I am the one that suggested the MERGE (oh gads)
Dave wants to add data.. so can we add him to the Trusted List
Steve Lake

Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help.

1) find/ADD the SOURCES to prove the lineage of OUR g-g-g-g Grampa Richard Lee
WARNING: The PARENTS are said "NOT TO BE 'the Hancock Lee who was married to Mary Willis.'
2) organize, identify all of the duplicate information and delete what is redundant.
3) Make Correction to this profile, i.e. the middle name, Washington is proven to be the son of Richard Lee, and no sources are found that gives our grampa Richard a middle name at all.

Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in G2G using the project tag, or send me a private message. Thanks!

THIS IS THE new profile

after I, Carole deleted some of the dups and deleted some of MY unnecessary comments...etc..
WARNING: CORRECTIONS MADE
  1. middle name: "Washington" removed until we can find a SOURCE to prove it. Taylor-25258 11:59, 28 September 2017 (EDT)
  2. BIG Correction to be done UNLINK" him from Hancock Lee/Mary Willis as parents...
  3. From Lawrence-8235: I disagree as to the necessity of the above recommended correction. While Edward Jennings Lee (1895) said that Richard Lee, son of Hancock Lee and Mary Willis, died unmarried, I have yet to see any evidence to back that statement up, such as a death date in those sources or any probate records to that effect. On the other hand, I have DNA data -- in terms of shared ancestor patterns -- that do not make sense except in light of the descent as given: Richard Lee (b. 1752) is the same Richard Lee who is the son of Hancock Lee and Mary Willis. This includes: 20 shared descents from [my 5g-grandparents] Richard Lee and Elizabeth Scott; [6th gg] three additional shared descents from Hancock Lee and Mary Willis; one additional shared descent from William Scott and Ann Mason; [7th gg] 10 additional shared descents from Hancock Lee and Sarah Allerton; seven additional shared descents from Henry Willis and Ann Alexander; one additional shared descent from James Scott and Sarah Pegram; [8th gg] one additional shared descent from Richard Lee and Anne Constable; three additional shared descents from Francis Willis; three additional shared descents from John Mason and Elizabeth Harrison; and one additional shared descent from John Wingfield and Anne Buckner. Sure, I would love better documentation, but the DNA data suggests the old claim that Richard Lee died unmarried -- unless his relationship with Elizabeth Scott was a common-law arrangement -- is mistaken

Here is the copy/paste from the L O N G profile

RESEARCH NOTE

BECAUSE There is a "difference of opinion" as to whether OUR Richard Lee born in Virginia in 1753 (as per his marriage record) IS in fact the son of

Hancock Lee and Mary Willis Lee [2]

THIS IS the reason I have not LINKED g-g-g- grampa Richard to his parents

EVEN THOUGH the Willis Bible matches our Richard's marriage record info.
HOWEVER, this Researchers opinion is, the Genealogist that made that conclusion made it 50+ years ago before there were computers let alone the ever lov'n INTERNET and ancestry.com and all the new Descendants that are locating new data and thank you, sharing it with the rest of us.
HERE IS another one that is more likely, even though 182 rootsweb.com Family TREES seem to ALL Copy/paste alike THEY all say Hancock Lee/Mary Willis ARE OUR g-g-g-g GRANDPARENTS--there are just a handful that say, NO their Richard Lee died "UNMARRIED"

---from LEENET, query answered by Gary Lee, (dated Dec. 4, 2005) as follows;
"We know :from the G.W. Lee letter that there are four Lee brothers;
Peter, John, Richard Henry, & Evan in Buckingham County, Virginia in the 1750`s.
DNA samples from a descendant of John Lee, & Jesse Lee (grandson of Peter Lee--my note) matched perfectly

"Thus, at a minimum, Jesse Lee, & the Lee brothers, of Buckingham County, Virginia, in the 1750`s, have a common ancestor."

WOW! at any rate I will have to start passing this around the family and see what they think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is mind boggling....to say the least as per Carole Taylor

AND THEN MOST OF us BELIEVE the other side so it will take some total NEW RESEARCH and ask them to mail or copy the proof sources to me, even though I am not from Missouri my Dad and 2 other generations were born in the SHOW ME STATE ____________________________

From Cuz' Eli Chandler who is the descendant that found and unearthed our ggg Gramma [3]
"Elizabeth was the daughter of Captain William Scott(1749-1789) and Ann Mason(1747-1803).
She married a Richard --- Lee born 1753-2/10/1820.

But not the Richard that was the brother to Light Horse Harry Lee of revolutionary war fame #1 below. He reportedly died in 1827. There seems to be several men with the exact same name and generation. Elizabeth`s, Richard Bland Lee is believed to be buried in Madison County, Kentucky on his 352 acre plantation along Licking Creek.

She died much later than he did and she ended up in Missouri to live with her son Richard Washington Lee born 9/15/1796-8/5/1882 and family.

Elizabeth Scott Lee is believed to be the sister of Winfield Scott a famous U.S. General from Petersburg, Virginia.

Much research needs to be done on these early family connections. As already stated many people think that this Richard Bland Lee is from the famous Lee families of Virginia but this compiler does not. Most of my life it was rumored that our families where related. Maybe very distantly but that is all. Any help out there? More later as time permits! "

Below Research was found/compiled by Carole Taylor I agree that there are many Richard Bland Lee's out there. All the proof sources for our g-g-g-g grampa, call him

RICHARD LEE no middle name mentioned.
Richard Lee was born to Hancock Lee, born 1709 - 1762 and Mary Willis-Lee born 1716 - 1766.
  • BUT like I said some Researchers DO NOT AGREE
  • SO OUR RICHARD LEE married to Elizabeth SCOTT LEE is in question AS TO HIS PARENTS ONLY and somehow WE need to get this question ANSWERED!

Grissom's Will

Richard Lee FATHER to Grissom Lee, there is a will.
Grissom Lee's Will, or a statement that there WAS NO Will but it does list all his kids/in-laws A Certified copy is attached

SON of HANCOCK LEE II & MARY WILLIS-LEE This according to the "Henry Willis Family Bible" which a copy is available on the internet. In that Bible they had a son Richard Lee born 1753 Virginia. and to correspond to that data is the data on the marriage record gives his place of birth as VA. and year 1753-- found on ancestry. And my Lee's descend from them, "Hancock Lee who married Mary Willis, daughter of Henry Willis, 23rd Jan. 1733."

7. 1792 TAX RECORDS - Madison Co., KENTUCKY Lee, Richard.
8. Have found mentions of a Richard Bland Lee on the Alumni Lists of William and Mary College in Williamsburg Virginia. This is the time frame when Richard would have been the age to be an attending student. However, do not know if this is our Richard Bland Lee.
9. There was a Bland who served on the Virginia House ofBurgess about the time that Hancock Lee's father Hancock was serving on the House of Burgess. At about this time the name Bland suddenly shows up in the family names. Wonders if this Bland was a good friend of the family and thus the addition tothis name in the family lines.

20 children-she gave birth to unless we can prove this list is adding names?
such as look at the Mary Ann Polly a sister and a wife to Grissom ...
THIS IS TRUE.. these are the names from the DEED of PARTITION.
The deed names all but 4 of the children listed except for the ones I have #..
All the others are listed to have received a portion of Richard Lee's property :known to be on "the east branch of the North fork of Licking Creek."
William is not listed on the DEED of Partition but is Adm. with his mother Elizabeth.
Noah is not listed on the DEED of Partition "Part one" but is named in "Part two"

So many of the ancestors died in "Paint Lick" A Commissioners survey said, "On the north fork of LICKING CREEK," another part of the survey states, "in Madison County, ....on the Brushy Fork of Silver Creek, containing 352 acres." After reading more of the records I think the name of the plantation was "Paint Lick" after the creek that ran through their property.

(if you wikipedia LICKING CREEK.. it is now known as Licking River, KY. "named by Frontiersmen as Great Salt Lick Creek. Because of its saline springs that brought animals to its "salt licks".)

After Richard died his wife Elizabeth Scott-Lee moved to Missouri with their son, Richard. She died there and is buried in THE FAMILY CEMETERY on land that the LEE FAMILY owned.

According to a new source, Kathy Vockery, there is a

GUARDIANSHIP APPOINTMENT FOR THE ORPHANS OF HANCOCK LEE OF FACQUIER CNTY. VA.

In this states, "Mary Lee (widow of Hancock Lee) is appointed Guardian to Henry, Richard and Mary (Willis) Lee, William and Sarah other orphans of Hancock being of lawful age also chose Mary for their guardian who executed & acknowledged Bond according to law." The ages of the 3 young children were: "Henry" (unknown to this researcher) "Richard" b: 31 July 1753, he was 9 when his father died. "Mary Willis-Lee"-Madison b:1757 she was 5 yrs old."

Maj. John Lee b:1743 d:1802 (this one is not mentioned in the Guardianship) but there is a memorial attached as "child" on Hancock Lee II memorial #43861965.

The 2 older children mentioned in this Guardianship doc. William & Sarah no info on. And then note that their mother Mary died Dec. 4, 1766, just 4 years later. Mary and Richard were still minors, 13 & 9 years old.

There are 3 Richard Lees that lived in the late 1700s and continue to be confused on many websites. 1) Richard Bland Lee who married Elizabeth Collins, his life is well documented, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Bland_Lee 2) 2) Richard Lee born 1753 in Virginia who married Elizabeth Scott. Not a lot of documentation to date. 3) Richard Lee born before 1756 who married Tabitha Wilson, his marriage is documented in numerous deeds in 1802 of land in Woods County. Wood Co., (W) VA, DEED- Tabitha Lee, wife of Richard Lee, TO Jacob Blickingstaff, 04-06-1802 (Wood County DB 1, pg 180) as an example.

Note: There is a fourth Richard Lee, son of Hancock Lee and Mary Willis. He died unmarried.[1]
BY: Robert was born in 1753. Robert Lee ... He passed away in 1820. [2]

Thank you for creating this page. There has been much confusion as to where my line comes from. I do know that I descend from Richard and Elizabeth (Scott) Lee through their son Grissom (Grisham) Lee and his wife Mary Ann Glenn. I've just recently started researching this line again and am sure I will find this page helpful in (hopefully) sorting fact from fiction.
