Born in "Derry, Ulster, Ireland in 1704" to "William Lee" and "Dorothy Taylor". William married Anne and had 4 children. He passed away in 1775 in Virginia, USA.

BEWARE: there are MANY William Lees and it is ridiculously easy to Bad-Merge them. This William Lee cannot possibly belong to the Richard Lee/Anne Constable line.

This William Lee DOES NOT belong to the family of Richard Lee, I (the "Stratford Hall Lees", aka "The Lees of Old Virginia"). The Y-DNA haplotype is a near-total mismatch.

He is *supposedly* the son of William Lee of Richmond (c. 1679/82 - c. 1717, m. Dorothy Taylor), although the documentary evidence to support it is not conclusive.

He definitely *is* the brother of Charles Lee of Orange County (d. bet. 1770-76), supported by three matching Y-DNA lines and confirmed by documentary evidence. NOTE: this is NOT the Charles Lee who married Ann Dabbs!

This William Lee had a nasty temper and was once accused of beating a slave to death. "At a court hearing at Richmond County Courthouse on 18 May 1742, testimony was given about William Lee's fatal injuries to a runaway slave. The charge appears to have been manslaughter, and the justices determined that Lee's brutality was intended as discipline, not death. William Lee was fined 200 pounds. See Peter Charles Hoffer and William B. Scott, ed., "Criminal Proceedings in Colonial American [Records of] Fines, Examination of Criminals, Trials of Slaves, etc., from March 1710 [1711] to [1754] [Richmond County]" (Athens, GA: The University of Georgia Press, 1984) pp. 218-219."

Gens. 9-7. Roberts makes this Anna Lee a daughter of William Lee of
Richmond Co., VA, c. 1704-1764. But Roberts does not give him a
parentage: i.e., Roberts does not place this William Lee as the grandson
named in the 1747 will of Elizabeth (___) Taylor and therefore probably
son of William and Dorothy (Taylor) Lee. This is interesting, because
he cites an enormous amount of published work on the Hanks family,
including most recently a 'Hanks monograph' by Paul H. Verduin,
_Northern Neck of Virginia Historical Magazine_, 38 (1988-89), 4354-89;
surely something this lengthy would review the status of the Lee
ancestry of Anna, wife of Joseph Hanks. Traditionally, Elizabeth (___)
Taylor's husband (long dead by 1747) was not known. I haven't looked at
this carefully, but I see no reason not to accept him as the Thomas
Taylor who d. testate in 1712 in No. Farnham, Richmond Co., though it
names no wife or daughters.
