- Richard Lee apparently died suddenly in early 1735 indicated in the
records of the Court Sessions of 21 May 17354, which report, "Account
of Richard Lee for building a warehouse
at Indian Creek" , which was read and allowed. At this same Session, a
Will of said Richard Lee was presented by Wm. Eustace, Gent., one of
his executors.
An erroneous date of the death of Richard Lee had been previous-
ly assumed to be 17405. This was based upon the appointment on
June 9, 174O6 of Hrs. Judith Lee, as administratrix of "the est-
ate of Richard Lee, deceased", not yet administered by William
Eustace, also deceased, who was executor under the will. However,
the 1735 records cited above, prove the death of Richard Lee in
that year. Furthermore,on September ll, 1738, Wm Eustace, as
Executor of Richard Lee's estate7, deeded 200 acres which had
been inherited by "Richard Lee, deceased",from his father,
Hancock Lee8. (This date correction was made by Grace M. Moses)
Richard Lee's real estate was inherited by his only son,
Kendall Lee9. His personal estate was divided, giving his widow
one-third, and the other two-thirds were divided into seven
portions for his children. The exact number of the inheriting
children is specified in a document dated September S, 1740,
at which time Mrs·Judith Lee received her third of the estate,
and Major Peter Conway received his wife's share of "her father's
estate", which the records specify was one-seventh of the re-
maining two-thirds. At the time of publication of LEE OF VIR-
GINIA by Edmund J. Lee, Philadelohia 1895, the following five
children had been identified by documented evidence, and in-
cluded therein on pages 534 and 535:-
Kendall Lee10 who married Betty Heale of Lancaster
2. Elizabeth Lee11who married Major Peter Conway
3. Mary Lee12 who marrzed her cousin, Charles Lee
4. Judith Lee13 who married David Galloway
5. Letrice Lee14 who married Colonel James Ball
Subsequently, the previously two unidentified children have
been identified as follows:-
