Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lee family boasts perhaps the most distinguished ancestry on record, having provided, for example, greater numbers of Revolutionary and Civil War generals and officers, politicians, and statesmen than any family of comparable size and standing. Colonel Richard Lee, Secretary of the Colony of Virginia and presumably a Counsellor to King Charles, was the progenitor of the Virginia Lees and was himself descended from the Coton branch of the Lees of Shropshire. The purpose of this volume is to collect and preserve in permanent form the history of Colonel Lee's posterity, believing that such a record will add something of interest to American history.

This book was released on 1990-08-16 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Lees of Virginia, Paul Nagel chronicles seven generations of Lees, from the family founder Richard to General Robert E. Lee, covering over two hundred years of American history. We meet Thomas Lee, who dreamed of America as a continental empire. His daughter was Hannah Lee Corbin, a non-conformist in lifestyle and religion, while his son, Richard Henry Lee, was a tempestuous figure who wore black silk over a disfigured hand when he made the motion in Congress for Independence. Another of Thomas' sons, Arthur Lee, created a political storm by his accusations against Benjamin Franklin. Arthur's cousin was Light-Horse Harry Lee, a controversial cavalry officer in the Revolutionary War, whose wild real estate speculation led to imprisonment for debt and finally self-exile in the Caribbean. One of Harry's sons, Henry Lee, further disgraced the family by seducing his sister-in-law and frittering away Stratford, the Lees' ancestral home. Another son, however, became the family's redeeming figure--Robert E. Lee, a brilliant tactician who is still revered for his lofty character and military success. In these and numerous other portraits, Nagel discloses how, from 1640 to 1870, a family spirit united the Lees, making them a force in Virginian and American affairs. Paul Nagel is a leading chronicler of families prominent in our history. His Descent from Glory, a masterful narrative account of four generations of Adamses, was hailed by The New Yorker as "intelligent, tactful, and spiritually generous," and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian W.A. Swanberg, in the Chicago Sun-Times, called it "a magnificent embarrassment of biographical riches." Now, in The Lees of Virginia, Nagel brings his skills to bear on another major American family, taking readers inside the great estates of the Old Dominion and the turbulent lives of the Lee men and women.

Excerpt: ...branch of the Lee Family, of which we give a full account at page 113. "Francis, the third son, died a bachelor. Thomas, the fourth son, though with none but a common Virginia education, yet having strong natural parts, learned the languages without any assistance but his own genius, and became a tolerable adept in the Greek and Latin.... This Thomas Lee, by his industry and parts, acquired a considerable fortune; for being the younger brother, with many children, his paternal estate was very small. He was also appointed of the council; and, though he had few acquaintances in England, he was so well known by his reputation, that, upon his receiving a loss by fire, the late Queen Caroline sent him over a bountiful supply from her privy purse. Upon the late Sir William Gooche being recalled, who had been some time governor of Virginia, he became president of the council and commander-inchief of the colony, in which station he continued for some time, until the king thought proper to appoint him governor of the colony; but he died before his commission got to him. He left by his marriage six sons--Philip Ludwell, Thomas Ludwell, Richard Henry, Francis Lightfoot, William, and Arthur--and two daughters, all well provided for in point of fortune." The Hon. Thomas Lee, fourth son of Richard Lee, is given us in history as one of the most prominent men of the early times of Virginia. Of the exact date of his birth and early life we have no record. The earliest mention of him is from the article just quoted; and we also find him spoken of in the article referred to in our Introduction, as "the first native governor of Virginia under the English government; and so popular was he in England, that, having suffered a severe loss by fire, ...
