Henry Lee I (1691-1747) of “Lee Hall”, Westmoreland County, and his wife, Mary Bland (1704-1764), whose mother was a great-aunt of President Thomas Jefferson and descended once from King John of England, twice from King Edward I of England, once from King Jean de Brienne of Jerusalem, twice from King Edward III of England and once from King Pedro I of Castile [1] [2].

Henry was born at “Lee Hall” in 1729, settled in Prince William County, living at “Leesylvania”, near the town of Dumfries. He served as a Justice of the Peace in that county and first in commission. In addition he was commissioned as a Burgess in 1758, where he served on and off until 1772. He was a member of the Convention from 1774-1776.
