Henry Lee I

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry Lee was a prominent Virginian colonist, brother of Governor Thomas Lee, and grandfather of Henry “Light Horse Harry” Lee. He was a co-leaseholder with his brother Thomas of the family plantation on the Machodoc River, and he owned or leased the area of Lee Hall. When the family plantation was burned down in January 1729, Henry Lee took in his brother's family at Lee Hall while the plantation was rebuilt.
