[there is not enough credible information about the DE LA LEE family]

Source <Source <Memorials of the Danvers family (of Dauntsey and Culworth) : their ancestors and descendants from the conquest till the termination of the eighteenth century. ...>:
"...The charter is clearly a deed of settlement made at the time of the marriage of John Danvers and Isabel de La Lee, and may be translated as follows : ' Enow all men that I, Simon Danuers, of bar . . / (the ' ton ' is obliterated) ' have given to John Danvers my son, and to Isabel, daughter of William de La Lee, his wife, all the lands and tenements which I have in the village and fields (villa et in campis) of Epewelle, in county Oxon, and in the village and fields of Napton, in county Warwick, to have and hold. ...

The family of de La Lee, to which John Danvers' wife belonged, derived their name from La Lee, a hamlet in the parish of Swalecliffe. We learn from the Boll of the Hundreds that Sir William de La Lee had land in the hamlet, and from the same source that the Yicar of the Mother Church was in the habit of celebrating Mass at a chapel in La Lee three times weekly. Sir William was on the commission with Bobert Danvers. His wife's name was Agnes, and they were buried in the church of Chacombe Priory. Petronilla de La Lee is also mentioned in the roll as holding land in Swale- ofiffe, and Eatherine de La Lee, of the same family, married Bobert Wykham, of that village.

In the year 1316 William de La Lee is summoned as one of the lords of La Lee and Shutford, and in the year 1347 he appears in a lay subsidy roll (Oxon W-) ^ Swalecliffe. This William appears to have been the son of William and Agnes, of the Boll of the Hundreds, and was probably the father of Isabel, the wife of John Danvers. ...

In the 34 Edward I. (1305), Oxon fine, No. 209, Will de La Lee and his wife Isabel sell land. Oxon fines of 36 and 42 Henry III., William de La Lee buys land in Shutford and in Banbury, and in 22 Edward I. Will de La Lee and his wife Agnes buy land in Banbury. Amongst the ancient charters, vol. xviii.. No. 255, charter of Nich. de La Lee to monks of Bordesley, and again Aug. No. 245, vol. x., Peter, son of Nicholas de La Lee gives land in La Lee to Brueme Abbey ; and amongst the charters in the Thame Abbey register is one of Geoffirey de La Lee giving land to that abbey. ..."
