Easter Sunday First Generation Fixes - Question

Captain William Lee, Esq. I added this profile to the project last night. It was not an MP (and is still not) and was not in the project. It does however have Lizzie, Jacqueli, and James as managers. It has far too few managers, so I assume this is one of the mangled profiles?

Do you want me / MEZ to do something with this profile? is this the lost William?

If you look in the "about" section of Hancock Lee he seems to have info that was in the original profile of william constable lee.
Hancock Lee of Ditchley

don't know what happened to the original copy of william constable lee's profile but this one is now in its place...

Captain William Lee, Esq.

it seems to be missing some of the original managers and the "about" info that was in the original william constable lee profile.

if you click on the link for william constable lee on the main page of the Lees of Virginia project it takes you to this profile instead...

Hancock Lee of Ditchley

Hatte, yes, take that one.

I am currently looking at child #2, Richard Henry Lee II, currently curated by KR Anderson. There is a small discrepancy between the date of death in data entry and notes on overview. Which is correct?

Data entry says March 12, 1714
Overview says Col. Richard Henry Lee II, Esq. (1647-1715) was a Colonel, planter, member of the Upper House and the King's Council.

Same profile, tree view, http://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000002238523936.

I will orphan the "do not merge" profiles descending from him.

There is an Arthur Fernley Lee as descendant and I don't see his name in the resource materials. Should I disconnect him, as well?

Wow, this is crazy Lizzie. How did someone mix up Hancock Lee and William Constable Lee?

I will take Hancock Lee to start with, since William Constable Lee has more issues. I'll take a look at the the About Me carefully.

I don't know what to do about managers being lost.

I just found Arthur at the very bottom of the overview notes on Richard II. If I am reading correctly, Arthur is the son of Richard II, not Richard I? Please confirm.

Jacqueli should weigh in. If you look at the first discussion in the project, I copied a copious genealogy she had posted. Perhaps Arthur is in there.

Jacqueli Charlene Finley

Hatte,
I don't know what to do about lost management either. We can add people back if they notice and complain, but that is unpleasant and creates other hurt feelings in need of soothing.

Rather than having Help Desk restore profiles, perhaps they can help us restore managers on profiles? I don't know if this is possible, just thinking out loud.

Maybe we could just make all the managers on Hancock Lee's profile also managers on William Constable Lee's profile? People probably wouldn't remember if they were managers on one and not the other.

Thanks, Hatte, I'll look for that discussion. As a late-comer to the project, I haven't found where everything is yet.

MEZ - I looked and it went upward from "the Immigrant" and not downward.

Jacqueli has notes however for all the members of the family, so just ask her.

@Lizzie (If you look in the "about" section of Hancock Lee he seems to have info that was in the original profile of william constable lee.)

THAT is EXACTLY what I was talking about last night...profiles were erroneously merged, overriding everything that may have been in the About Me, and when I went in to "fix" things yesterday morning, I got flack for "ruining" things.

From now on, I am going to LOG everything that is done in error that I catch (I make mistakes too), but this tree was full of people changing names after wrongfully merging profiles, KNOWING full-well they were wrongfully merged, and that the names become "NO NAME" in Revision-view to even prove otherwise.

I would prefer it if you stayed away from this project and lineage for now - and please stop trying to justify your bad behavior.

Hatte Blejer (absent until Nov 1), Lizzie, MEZ,
highlight the profiles here and I will look them up and give you their specs. Thanks for the updates. I really appreciate the help out.

Oh - Happy Easter :)

I don't have a behavior problem, I just respond. I can stay out of the tree, per your request, but I -also- put profiles in and/or manage profiles that lead up to it, or around that area. Just saying.

Private User - please do leave the Lees of Virginia to the people dedicated to the project. Thank you in advance for complying.

There are 4 curators in this project so you can focus elsewhere -- theres' plenty to do -- and rest assured that between the Lee family experts and a high number of curators, it will be fine.

Jacqueli Charlene Finley I was going to work on reattaching these two to both parents and getting their data fields and About Mes correct.

Col. Richard “the scholar” Lee, II
1. Confirm date of birth
2. Confirm Arthur is his son and not his brother. Arthur's profile is not MP yet but I can make one.

Ann Youell
1. I have put Anne Constable back as the mother.
2. There is a Lister showing as her husband. Is this a valid husband?Edmund Lister. He only shows in tree-view, not profile view. I can restore if he is valid or remove completely if not. Profile is managed by David Prins. We have great working relationship.

MEZ, here is Mister Lister's info - this morning was a 3 cup w/ sugar morning :) - now back to work !

New Research on the Wraysbury Deeds
by Alan Nicholls.
In 1999 I gave a presentation to the Lee Society of Virginia at their AGM concerning the English ancestry of Colonel Richard Lee, the founder of the Virginia Lee family. This presentation was placed on my webpage on 24th May 1999.
In that presentation I included evidence that Colonel Richard Lee had signed a series of three indentures relating to a purchase by John Lee of Coton of a property at Wraysbury in Buckinghamshire, England in 1652. Colonel Richard's signature on these deeds had been used by all previous researchers, with other evidence, to show a direct connection between the Lee family of Virginia and the Coton Lee family of Alveley, Shropshire. However since the 1999 presentation my research has revealed evidence using only original contemporary documents that these indentures were in fact signed by Richard Lee, fishmonger, son of Lancelot Lee of Coton. This Richard was the apprentice of John Lee, fishmonger, citizen of London and gentleman. I have shown previously that this John Lee (1600-1682), son of Thomas Lee of Coton (1560-1620) was mistakenly identified as a saddler by all earlier researchers.
As I reported in the 1999 presentation the signatures on the Wraysbury deeds seemed to match extremely well with those few other original signatures of Colonel Richard Lee that I had found. He signed himself Rich: Lee in all cases and I found these signatures the most persuasive evidence to authenticate his claim to a Coton ancestry. However this new evidence has overturned those conclusions. The new research is detailed below.
The research undertaken since the 1999 presentation has not found the English ancestor of Colonel Richard Lee but it is challenging the fundamental assumptions made by earlier researchers. I am continuing to follow my lines of research and hopefully will carry it through to a successful conclusion. I will post articles on my webpage as I complete each phase of the research. As with all research of this nature there are gains and losses but I view each reversal with a positive attitude that will propel me forward with new knowledge to more gains and, hopefully, less losses.
****************************************

Jim,
I have not done English research on Richard and Henry Lee of York. They were obviously related, probably brothers. Since Richard was born c. 1619, and appears to have been the older, it would appear that Henry was born c. 1620. Since his first child was b. 1645, this fits well.
There were several Richard Lees and several Henry Lees on the early emigration records. To my knowledge, no one has proven whence they came or which county they settled in.
The first problem in research is that there is no proof that Richard Lee of York was the same person as Col. Richard.
The research that has been done has been aimed at the origin of Col. Richard Lee. Two of the most recognized articles are: Article by Wm. Thorndale, National Genealogical Society Qtrly, Dec 1988
Article by Ludwell Lee Montague, Va. Magazine, Jan. 1954.
The descendants of Col. Richard have not enthusiastically accepted any of the research done. One of them has recently engaged an English researcher, Alan Nicholls. Nicholls has a web page which you can Google up.

Today I am tracking Alice Felton, I have found nothing on her in Virginia, and if she had married Thomas Felton she would have been 7 years old.
From what I have found below she must have came to Virginia as a servant met William Lee (the rogue that he was) and married him. Still found nothing on marriage though.
I have been doing census on Williams and Richards (Tax list) (census)
WM would have to be in Maryland; that is where his father left him a home and land. I found Col Richard Lees will he made in England when he and his family were in their home there, he went to sell all and give up England for good. He had made many trips back and forth over the years and owned 1/8 of 3 ships for transporting goods back and forth and people.
Francis Lee went back to England lived, raised his family and died there in 1714.
Col Lee left the ownership of the 3 ships to (Elizabeth-Mary-& Susan 1/8th eh.) to Francis and if he dies first it goes to Charles and the two sisters, Elizabeth and Ann.
Jim, how do I go about getting Edmond Jennings Lees book?
Did you find anything in there on Alice?
Talk to you two later

King and Queen Co, VA
Information on Dorothy Taylor comes from "Log Cabins to White House" by Brewer. 13 Apr 1745

Dorothy was witness to will of Henry Williams in Richmond Co.,VA. signed as Dorothy Croucher. Dorothy and her brother Thomas were administrators of her husband William Lee's estate. She was left wearing apparel in her mother's will. "Dorothy to have my Coyas" d. 1717, Richmond Co, VA (Source: Amelia Co. Order Book 7, p. 226, Letters of Administration of Estate of William Lee to Dorothy Lee, relict of William Lee on 12/4/1717.).

Documentation from "Log Cabins to White House" by Brewer. On page 275 "On 19 Jan 1668 William and wife Alice acknowledged debt of 250 acres of land to William Heath.
On 5 Sep 1668 William and wife Alice sold their plantation to Thomas Adams (Surry Co. records p.54).

From "Log Cabin" book on p.276 it gives William Lee( who married Dorothy Taylor) as one of his children. On p.273, Richard Henry Lee and Anna Constable are given as the parents of William (husband of Alice) but other sources state that Richard Lee's son William did not marry. Other sources say he married and had a daughter Mary who married a Heath and that he left his estate to her -- which was contested by his brother and returned to the Lee family.

There is a William Lee and Mary Lee, witnesses in Richard Jesper's will, dated 1698 in North Farnham Parish, VA. Need to identify them. Dorothy and brother Thomas Taylor were administrators of his estate. They left to William's grandchildren (children of Wm.3rd) the legacy left to him by his grandmother Elizabeth Taylor. Thomas Hanks received 9 lbs 11 shillings 8 pence; Joseph Hanks 2 lbs2 shillings 6 pence; Richard Lee 4 shillings; none was listed for John Lee who had probably died young.

-----------------------------------************************
Edmund Jennings Lee had not found any record of what happened to one son William Lee and blew it off finally saying he appears to have died young.
Weelllll sort of.
He did die earlier, 1694-5, than other siblings, leaving a 18 year old daughter and three younger minor sons. The daughter Mary had married William Heath at age 15 had two sons, Thomas and Samuel the last being born after his father died. She re married to Bartholomew Schriever who is the villain of this story. He was of age so grabbed the estate and paid out yearly a gentlemans living to the three boys; Wm, John, and Richard. What he paid was far less than the estate could manage; and they deserved more; but it was legally large enough that they could not sue their guardian until ALL of them were of age. The instant the youngest turned 21 they did sue.
BUT
Not in probate court but common pleas court to recover their inheritance.
And not in the original county (Westmoreland) but the county had been split and then re-split in the mean time (at this time it was Surry Co) and worse the judge (a VIP ) did not travel to them he stayed put and they had to come to him in King and Queen County. (This was a MAJOR estate -and why they had a superior judge in a higher court- in todays terms it would be multi millionaire stuff).
AND
It was 7-8 years out of timeŒ7 -8 years later than expected.
Wrong place, wrong time, wrong court, and why E J Lee missed it.
Bart and Mary got her furniture and what money he had sequestered (the court knew he had milked estate, said so, but did not bother to try to find where he had squirreled money away--{Bermuda}), just gave Mary HER furniture, and kicked them off land and divided it 3 ways each boy getting roughly 1/3. Bart packed up in high dudgeon and went back to England (assume they stopped at Bermuda where $$ were) - and lived life of rich ex colonial gentleman.

OK first problem solved. This I got from two separate books /people who had done work independently, and I cross-checked just to be sure. (A Weavin' and Log Cabin to White House
Next problem
William (ii) son Wm (i) and grandson of Co Richard died 1717 (about 13 years after court bruhoo); leaving 4 sons. And I will stick to our line his son Charles b 1706 moved to new land at North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co., Va.
Charles moves again dies 1799 at-really near just out of town- Leesburg, Cumberland Co., Va. leaving cash to a son William (others got land) and just down the road, land adjoining Charles is a William Lee that the previous genealogists had assumed was his son.
BooBoo!
It was a reasonable assumption. Just wrong. Charles died in 1799 Cumberland Co Va and had a son William. There is a William Lee (md Ave Noel) whose land adjoins Charles land so they assume he is the son. Unfortunately they happened to buy adjoining lands at about the same time and they were cousins, but unwarranted assumption as to being his son.
Then I found the full name of James Garnett Early Lee b. 23 feb 1777 known as Garnett Lee usually, AND known to be son of William and Ave Noel and that triggered my memory that James Lee had md Mary Clark Garnett and I cross connected Wm and Ave to James Lee and Mary Garnett who also had known son William but unknown what happened to him if we connect Wm and Ave to Charles. To add to the surety I was right, Wm and Ave moved about 1788 to Evington Road Bedford Co Va. just a bit down the road from James and Mary Garnett -- (Ah Ha!)----- so this time making the assumption that the William who was close to James was his son works. James died by the way 1791 Probate Bedford Co Va.
With that I was able to disconnect he wrong William (md Ave) and get him to correct papa- and so was left connecting MY William (1738-1808) to Charles. Reason for cash was my William had gone on to Hardy Co Va. (now West Va) at the same time, abt 1760, his father Charles had moved from Richmond Co where he was born (The residual of the original estate was now in Surry Co.-but had been split up so much the land left to Charles was too small to make him well off - or as well off as he wished) then on to Leesburgh in Cumberland Co and so our William had no use for land- he had his own- but hundreds of miles away. SO cash.
Oh me oh my long story. I also jumped 4 years work in getting all of the above. I followed Loads of dead ends.

Hi Jim, I think you missunderstood what I sent on Hancock.
That is why I sent that mess on Hancock Lee Jr, I don't have them in my records, I found them while looking for Richard Lee and Margaret Reno.
But the other kids there, where do they go? to the next Hancock? & Beale ? 3ed HANCOCK'S WIFE

MY records with Hancock Lee Jr (if you will) is Twin to Elizabeth both b 1709 he m Mary Willis January 23, 1733
8 ch. Ann, Mary, George Henry, John, Hancock b Apr 7, 1740 (brother John is his twin) Sarah, Lucinda, Willis.( Pulled some paper records)
Here is where you can help me clear a few things, if you will.
The 2ed Mary Willis, who was her parents ? a brother to the 1ST Mary Willis?
John Hancock Lee that she m, who was his parents?
OK-- HERE IS WHAT I HAVE;
I have William C. Lee b 1650 m ANN- But Paul C. Nagel the researcher of Lee's of VA. said he could not find any proof that William ever married. he d in 1696 at the age of almost 46 --He left his land and estate to Mary Heath. in 1707 Richard found a way to retreave the Virginia estate's . In his fathers" will " it stated that the property left to his sons for life. {at the end of life the land reverts to the living son's. SON OF RICHARD LEE & ANN CONSTABLE
Hancock, the brother to this {ABOVE} William had four children by Mary Kendall and later 4 children by Sarah Elizabeth Allerton.
The 4 children by his first wife (on paper) who I think is the line to our Richard.

WE COULD BE CONNECTRD THROUGH 2 OTHER RICHARDS, IF NOT THEN THIS HAS TO BE THE LINE.
AND BOTH RICHARD'S ARE STILL IN THIS LINE.

there would be 34 years diffrence in there age, or if he had a son Richard would be the right age. (I have no other info on him that I can put my hands on at this time. this is one of the reasons I pull all info on Richard's.(one anyway)

Francis Constable was baptized at Datchet, co. Bucks 14 May 1592 the son of Robert and Margery (Barker) Constable and grandson on the maternal side of Christopher Barker, printer to Queen Elizabeth I. His career as a bookseller and printer is summarized in "A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who were at work in England from 1641 to 1667", by Henry R. Plomer:- "Francis Constable,bookseller in London and Westminster firstly at the (sign of) the White Lion, Paul's Churchyard, 1616-24; then in St Paul's Church Yard at the sign of the Crane, 1631; then under St Martin's Church in Ludgate, 1637; then at King Street, Westminster at the sign of the Goat, 1640; then at Westminster Hall,1640.He took up his freedom July 2nd 1614.His first registered publication was "Hymens Triumphes, entered on January 13th.1614/15.He published large numbers of plays,in which he was associated for some years with Humphrey Moseley.It is probable that he rented a stall in Westminster Hall very much earlier than 1640 but that is the first appearance of the Hall in the imprint of any book."

Okay, I'm about to work on William Lee, Colonel.

Here is what the link points to: [Hancock Lee of Ditchley

If you click on this link you are directed to Hancock Lee, so it is clear that a merger of Hancock Lee and William Constable Lee took place.

I definitely cleaned up birth place of Lee children because reading Charles Co, VA reminds me of that. I don't know if it was William Constable Lee that I worked on to fix all the data fields. If so, here goes a second time.

That's weird. I'll send it in an email instead. I can cut and paste it and put it into the address bar and it directs to Hancock Lee.

Hatte Blejer (absent until Nov 1)

Here was the revision list on William yesterday about 11:20 am - perhaps this will help Mike and yourself locate original profile:

William Lee, Colonel's parents were changed to Colonel Richard "the Immigrant" Lee I and Ann Lee (Constable) by Ms. K. Anderson, Curator.
William Lee, Colonel was merged into William Lee, Colonel by Ms. K. Anderson, Curator.
William Lee, Colonel's profile was updated by Ms. K. Anderson, Curator. suffix view
