• Notes

  Francis (c. 1648–1714), the family business agent in London. Francis and his wife Tamar, whose surnamed is not known, had at least seven children, at least one of whom, daughter Anne, survived to adulthood and married Henry Watson. Francis became a successful mechant in England and later the family sent a nephew, Richard III (son of the Scholar) to apprentice with him. From: http://www.leearchive.info/immigrant/index.html Edmund Jennings Lee, Lee of VA.; 929; L477Lee; pp. 71-72 Francis was the third son of Richard Lee and Anne Constable born about 1648 at Paradise, Gloucester County, VA. He married Tamar_______. Francis died in Nov 1714 in London, England and was buried on 19 Nov 1714 at St. Dionis Backchurch (grave located in the Great Vault in the Chancel) in London, England His wife was not mentioned in his will because she had died 1 May 1694/5 and was buried in the Vault with Francis and children. Francis was allowed the option, in his father's will, of remaining in England, if he so desired. The inference is that he was intended for a mercantile life. It is probable that he returned with his father to VA. and went back to England, to establish himself in mercantile life, some years after his father's death. The Northumberland records contain a certificate from him, dated about 1670, stating that a servant had "served his full tyme to the Estate of Col. Richard Lee and myself." A "Mr. Francis Lee" was Justice for Northumberland in 1673. Will dated 9 July 1709; probated, London, 23 Nov 1714.
