• From Richard Lee we have seven children, — five sons and two daughters.
  • Fulco Lee, the eldest son and heir of Langley, married twice ; first, Alicia, daughter of Henry Cornwall of Birington, in the county of Hereford, of which family, Burke, in his "Landed Gentry of England," says, "The Cornwalls are descended from Richard de Cornwall, who had the manor of Thunneck, in Lin-

  • colnshire, from Edward, Earl of Cornwall, eighth of Edward I., 1280. He was ancestor of the Cornwalls, barons of Burford, the senior line of which family is now represented by the heir, Gen. George Cornwall Leigh, Esq., of HighLeigh, Cheshire."
    • ' Thomas Lee, Esq., of Langley, is the only son of Fulco Lee by his first wife. Falling heir to an immense estate, he married into the distinguished family of Corbet, forming the second alliance between the two families. This Robert Corbet, the father of Jana, of Morton-Corbet, Shropshire, married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Vernon. Robert Corbet also had another daughter Elizabeth, who married Sir Henry Wallop, Earl of Portsmouth.*

    • ' By the union of Thomas Lee and Jane, there were ten children, — three sons and seven daughters.
      • All the daughters married, one of whom was united to another of the Corbet Family, of whom Burke mentions, —
    • "Sir Edward Corbet of Longnor and of Leighton, knight, was created a baronet in 1642. The senior branch of the family expired in 1774, with Sir Richard Corbet, baronet, whereupon the title descended upon Charles Corbet of London, great grandson of Thomas, the second son of the first baronet. Edward Corbet of Longnor Hall, Shropshire, J. P. and D. L., lieutenant-colonel of Shropshire Militia, 1817, is a descendant of this branch."*
      • The eldest daughter, Jocosa, marries Robert Morton of Houghton, who was a widower at the time, as a daughter of his marries Thomas Lee of Nordley. Maria, the fourth daughter, marries Edward Plowden, of which family Burke speaks : —
      • Richard Lee, eldest son and heir, married a daughter of Walter Wrotesley, of Wrotesley, of which family we gather an interesting account: —
      • http://www.archive.org/stream/genealogicalhist00mead#page/n46/mode/1up
      • Among the chancery proceedings of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, we find an interesting suit between this Richard Lee and his brother Jerome, for an annuity bequeathed the latter by Thomas Lee, their father, issuing out of the Manor of Dotinton, Shropshire, as claimed under the will ; from which fact we may infer that Thomas Lee died some time during the reign of that queen.
