In 1757 Thomas Lee fell heir to a small estate on Staten Island. He afterward bought a two hundred acre estate is Westchester County, N.Y. Disposing of this estate in 1764, Thomas moved with his family into New Jersey and purchased a 200 acre estate which he called "Cortland Manor" and which adjoined that of his brother, John.
