Possibly the same person as Richard Lee, 2nd (and last) Baronet Lee of Langley.

(Wikipedia) Sir Richard Lee, 2nd Baronet (ca. 1600 – April 1660) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1640 to 1642. He supported the Royalist side in the English Civil War.

Lee was the son of Sir Humphrey Lee, 1st Baronet of Langley and Acton Burnell, Shropshire, and his wife Margaret Corbett, daughter of Richard Corbett of Stoke, justice of the King's Bench.[1]

In November 1640, Lee was elected Member of Parliament for Shropshire in the Long Parliament.[2] He was disabled from sitting in parliament on 6 September 1642 for executing a Commission of Array after it was declared illegal. He suffered for his support of the King and had to compound for his estate for £3719.[1]

Lee married Elizabeth Allen, daughter of Sir Edward Allen, alderman of London. They had two daughters Rachael who married Ralph Cleaton and Mary who married Sir Edward Smythe, 1st Baronet.[1] (Per Visitations of Shropshire, vol. II, p. 320, there were also three sons, Humphrey, Richard, and Francis, but they all predeceased him leaving no offspring.)
