About Richard Bland Lee, II

http://leearchive.wlu.edu/papers/books/fringe/01.html

Especially loved were the eldest uncle, General Light Horse Harry Lee and his wife, Anne, who were Richard's godparents. Richard hero-worshipped his fascinating uncle. Many evenings the children sat enthralled as Light Horse Harry, quick and articulate, told them again how he had surprised the British post at Paulus Hook in 1779, and had captured 160 of the enemy, almost without a loss. At other times, he told them anecdotes of his long, close friendship with General Washington, whose spirit seemed to pervade Sully; everyone had anecdotes to tell about this great friend of the family. Richard's father had been a guest at Mount Vernon six times, and his uncles and cousins had made innumerable visits, some even doing their courting there. Richard's mother cherished a locket containing a lock of George Washington's hair, which was given to her by Martha Washington.
