My immigrant ancestor, Francis of Barbados was descended from Sir Robert Lee of Belsley to whom armorial bearings were granted on December 20th, 1593. The Lee genealogy presented here is from published material readily available in most libraries.

Thomas Lee, of Charleston, South Carolina, was the son of Francis Lee and Mary Barnell of Bridgetown, Barbados. Francis and Mary were married on 12/23/1707 in Barbados.

Little is known of Thomas Lee, but there are records in Charleston giving the births of his children by his wife Mary Giles. He is described in Charleston records as an architect. He was reported as prosperous and owned a large brick house on Elliott Street. He had seven slaves, whose names I give because I like them, and to give them honor: Tomm, Hampshire, Rinah, Charity, Old Venus, Little Hampshire and Little Rinah.
