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.

Barton, The Lineage of Lincoln, 1929, pp. 71-73, 176, 178, 181-183.From pp. 71-72, regarding Robert and Mary Shipley of Lunenburg County, Virginia, and their alleged five daughters, "...these five daughters are not to be found in the Virginia records." Barton's final statement on the alleged Mary Shipley, page 182: "There is not a dot on an i nor the cross of a t in any contemporary record to show that Abraham Lincoln of Virginia had any other wife than Bathsheba. Mary Shipley Lincoln is a fictitious character."
