Caroline Jett wrote in her article "In the Shadow of the Chicacoan Oak":
"It was in the 1680’s that Thomas Heath came to Northumberland County. As he died soon after arriving there, the folks of Northumberland County knew little about him. His wife was Mary, and much effort has been made to discover her maiden name. Some believe that she was the daughter of Captain William Lee (son of Richard Lee.) However, as no clear evidence or proof that she was Captain Lee’s daughter has ever been discovered, the Society of Lees of Virginia will not accept her descendants as members. Whether she was his daughter or not, she definitely was the executor of Capt. Lee’s estate."
Dr. Tyler in the "William and Mary Quarterly" settled the question as to whether Thomas Heath married the widow or daughter of Capt. William Lee. The latter’s will is dated January, 1696 – while according to Mrs. Keath in "The Heaths of Northumberland" Thomas Heath died several years prior to Capt. Lee "about 1690", therefore he could not have married the widow but did marry the daughter of Mary Lee.
To further examine the issues of Mary Lee Heath, it is important to understand Mary Lee’s father (Capt. William Lee) died young leaving her as heiress. She inherited land from her father. However, after her remarriage to Bartholomew Schreever and the circumstances associated with it, the Lee family filed suit against Mary for the land. Two court dates later, Mary had lost her inheritance and been disowned by the Lee family. To this day the Society of Lees of Virginia will not accept her descendants as members.
