    BIOGRAPHY
    Burwell Lee, Sr. And His Descendants
    Written by Molly Shumate (OurFamilyHistory@hotmail.com)

    MAJOR BURWELL LEE, SR.
    Eldest son of John Lee and Susannah Guthrey
    1766-1825
    John Lee, Sr., son of Charles Lee and Ann Dabbs of Cumberland Co., VA, removed from Cumberland Co., VA, to Campbell Co., VA, and, among other interests, founded the Town of Leesville, VA. John married 1) Susannah, surname believed to be Guthrey because all records point that direction but no record of his marriage has been found. He married 2)Frances, surname believed to be Early. Again, no record of this marriage has been found either and no definitive proof that Guthrey and Early were indeed surnames of John's wives. John left the most of his estate to his eldest son, Maj. Burwell Lee,
    Sr. In John's LWT, he says " I give to son Burwell Lee the land and plantation whereon I now live lying and being in the County of Campbell and lying on the north side of Goose Creek and Staunton River it being part of the tract of land I purchased from Jacobus Early with the following exceptions to wit that part called Darby's field lying in the north side of Goose Creek at Darby's Ford and adjoining the lands of Jesse Leftwich and others and one hundred and twenty eight acres taken off said tract for the town of Leesville at the junction of Goose Creek and Staunton River which leave a balance of two hundred and forty six acres, I also give my son Burwell Lee the tract of land I purchased of Robert Owen adjoining the land I now live on and above named lying on the east side of the same containing one hundred and thirty five and a half acres and deeded to me by said Owen, also two negro men named Daniel and Garnett with other necessaries I have heretofore given towards housekeeping upon his complying with some other items hereafter named . . ." John also says in his LWT "I further desire and direct in consequence of my giving to my son Burwell Lee the negro man Daniel that he may be with his wife and children that my said son Burwell Lee pay four hundred dollars
    towards raising the twelve hundred dollars for my daughter Sophia." Although slavery was wrong, the Lee family did try to keep the slave families together. He also gives " to my son Burwell Lee all the town of Leesville on the west side of the Third Broad Street from Goose Creek to him and his heirs forever, excepting the land adjoining the mill seat half of which 2 acres with mill seat, I reserve for my estate and allotted for common mill. . . I appoint my son Burwell Lee and my son-in-law Robt Clark and my son-in-law James Lancaster and my son- in-law John Arnold, executors . . . . s/John Lee" According to land records, Major Burwell, Sr., owned, at one time, almost 1000 acres in Bedford and Campbell Counties, VA. I do not know exactly how many slaves he owned at one time but the division of his estate show he owned 18 at that time. Burwell Lee, Sr. married Rebecca Nancy (Ann) Arnold daughter of Moses and Elizabeth Arnold of Cumberland Co., VA. Burwell Lee served in the War of 1812. His obituaries give small detail about his life. Nancy (Ann) Arnold, wife of Major Burwell Lee, Sr. was great-
    granddaughter of William and Elizabeth Arnold of Cumberland Co., VA, and I would like to include some background regarding her ancestry which is included in the Addenda of this biography. Major Burwell Lee, Sr., and Nancy (Ann) Arnold had the following children:

    1. Captain Burwell Lee, Jr. m. 1)Matilda Arnold 2)Elizabeth Purcell 3)Mildred Dillard Doyle
    2. Susannah G. Lee m. Beverly Arnold and remained in Campbell Co., VA.
    3. Ann Lee married John Anderson - no further information
    4. Permelia G. Lee did not marry. She died in Pittsylvania Co., VA.
    5. Tabitha Lee did not marry. She died in Pittsylvania Co., VA.
    6. Jane Lee married Caleb Witt and they are show on the 1840 Randolph Co., MO census.
    7. Martha Lee married James Anthony - She may be the Martha, widow on the Patrick Co. census.
    8. William A. Lee married Mildred Brooks and moved to Amherst Co., VA, about 1860.
    9. Doshia A. Lee married Isaac Wilson and they are shown on the 1850 Morgan Co., KY, census.

    Cumberland Co. Order Book 1788-1792, page 95, dated 25 May 1789, shows Burwell Lee was an Ensign in Captain Cocke's Light Co. Also, "A Guide to Virginia Militia Units in the War of 1812" by Stuart Lee Butler, shows Brigade 12, Division 1,

    Campbell Co., 53rd and 117th Regiments - Lt. Col. Thomas W. Cocke - July 20, 1803; Lt. Col. Alexander Austin - January 20, 1813; Maj. Burwell Lee - July 18, 1813. Campbell County Militia Units served in the Defense of Richmond and Norfolk.
