Thomas Lee of Charleston, South Carolina 1710 - 1769 THE DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE OF CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA 1710 - 1769 A Genealogical-Biographical-Compilation By THOMAS CARPENTER READ Member of South Carolina Historical Society Charleston Library Society New England Historic Genealogical Society Maine Historical Society 1964 Copyright by THOMAS C. READ 1964 Printed by THE R. L. BRYAN COMPANY COLUMBIA, s. C. THE DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS LEE OF CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA • • LEE To MY WIFE HELEN EMERSON READ PREFACE The compilation of this genealogy extends over a period of some five or six years; it was started when the compiler was working on two other genealogies, and due to the interest shown by members of the family and the many unusual and interesting persons that were found to be descended from THOMAS LEE of CHARLESTON, the compiler set aside the other genealogies and devoted his time to this one. The Lee family of Charleston and South Carolina have played an in­ teresting part in the development of the South from South Carolina to Texas. They have participated voluntarily and in a responsible way in every war, beginning with the Revolution, in 1775. We find among the Lees: Military Men, Educators, Engineers, Merchants, Planters, Doctors of Medicine and The­ ology. In each field some of the Lee family stood out notice­ ably. Many members of the family have been very helpful in sup­ plying Bible records, copies of old letters, tradition, and even doing research in Record Offices and Libraries in their towns. The records made by Mrs. Georgia Kyser Youngblood, of Carlowville, Minter, Alabama, over a period of many years were made available to the compiler by Mrs. Edgar Wilson Greene. She had gathered data on the Lee, Lockwood, and Alison families up to the time of her death. Due to the numerous descendants of the Carlowville, Ala­ bama, branch of the family that in recent years have been born in the Hospital in Selma, Alabama, the compiler has used the term, born in Carlowville, to better identify those families that were still living there. Miss Flora B. Surles of Charleston who has made a study of the Lockwood family, very kindly made her records available and thereby prevented a serious error in the genealogy. Mrs. Granville T. Prior, Secretary of The South Carolina Historical Magazine has been of great help. Without the fine records preserved by the South Carolina Historical Society such a pub­ lication as this would have been impossible. [vii] Mrs. Howard F. Noble was most generous in giving copies of old letters, deeds, pictures, and colorful information. Her letters to the compiler were an inspiration and source of en­ couragement. Much is missing in this work due to the wanton destruction and burning of old records by Sherman's Troops in his march to the sea during the War Between The States. So many members of the family and others interested in the preservation of historical data helped, that it is impossible to thank all, individually, but thanks are hereby extended. The detail and extent of information as compiled very well show where others have helped most. Undoubtedly there will by be errors in this compilation; many of these will be due to the inability of the compiler and his help­ ers to decipher the hand writing of some of those who sent in data. Where possible, typed sheets were sent to informants for checking but in some instances these were not returned. There are many hundreds of Lee descendants whom it has been impossible for the compiler to locate. One branch of the family was located in Baltimore, Maryland, when an advertise­ ment was run in a Baltimore paper, but this method did not always bring a response. The compiler has felt a deep responsibility to make this work as complete as possible, however he feels that the work should be published and that further delay may, due to some unexpected occurance, be a cause of this never being done. Just recently on a research trip the compiler found many descendants who had not submitted data on their line. Many of these are now included. The body of the work is taken from Court House Records, Historical Society Records, Bible Records, City Directories, Church Records, Grave stones, Town Histories, etc., and where possible data that was sent in by others was checked and re­ checked. The work begins with Thomas Lee and is then divided into three sections that cover the three major branches of the family -the descendants of Mary Lee and Joseph Lee; the descend­ ants of Col. William Lee; and the third section-the descendants of Stephen Lee. Inter-marriage among all branches of the family was prevalent up to and during the nineteenth century, thus [viii] the use of all wives' maiden names in this work thereby en­ abling one to easily distinguish between a Lee marrying a Lee, Lockwood, or Alison, or one of another family. Tradition that seemingly has some foundation, has it that there were three Lee brothers who came to America, one to the South, one to Virginia, and one to Canada; mention will be found of this in the Autobiography of the Rev. William States Lee which is included in this work. On the following pages will be found a letter from Hilliard Cameron Lee of Baltimore, Maryland, to William Franklin Lee of Pensacola, Florida. This letter was in the data compiled by Mrs. Georgia Kyser Young­ blood; it follows so closely the data gathered and given herein by the writer that it is included. It is hoped that this work will create a consciousness of honorable forbears, worthy of respect and admiration by future generations. [ix] FORM, ABBREVIATIONS, SYMBOLS The compiler has attempted to devise a simple form of work, thoroughly indexed, that will, at a glance, give the names, dates of birth, death, marriage, children and, where available, bio­ graphical sketches. When the spouse's mother's maiden name is known, it is given as such to identify the unions of different families. The biographical sketches follow the genealogical data to avoid cluttering the genealogical data with unrelated material. The generations run from the first generation "Thomas Lee of Charleston," through the eighth and ninth generations. EXPLANATION OF CAPTIONS AND TEXT FIFTH GENERATION denotes children of a fourth genera­ tion parent. CHILDREN OF JACOB SMISER AND MARGARET (YOUNGBLOOD) ALISON. This caption indicates that the male parent is the descendant by his name being in Italics, and that his wife's maiden name was (YOUNGBLOOD). Margaret Regina Lee (Lockwood) Alison, Mary (Lee) Lock­ wood, Thomas Lee. This caption indicates the direct line of descent of Jacob Smiser Alison and his children. It should be read as follows ( 3rd Generation) Margaret Regina Lee (Lock­ wood) Alison; (2nd generation) Mary (Lee) Lockwood; (1st generation) Thomas Lee. Names that are in parenthesis in­ dicate a maiden name. Children are numbered to indicate their order of birth. The numerals that are in parenthesis indicate that the child is car­ ried forward to the next generation. Names that are in Italics indicate direct descent.

The records published in the Journal of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, Volume Number (November 1948) 16-17; Volume XVII (November 1949) 27-33; and Volume Number ( August 1958) 30-31, give the Marriages, Baptisms, Census Records of 1679, Will and Burial Notice of Francis Lee. Approximately seventy-five years ago W. A. Lee, Stephen Dill Lee, Alexander Y. Lee, and Fitzhugh compiled a Geneal­ ogy of the Lee South Carolina Branches in Family Tree Form. This family tree was more than reasonably complete, con­ sidering when it was compiled and the movement of persons after the period of the War between the States.

Like so many well-entrenched, traditional as- sumptions, this one is unwarranted. J. Evetts Haley, in editing one of the extremely rare accounts of the cattle drives to Califor- nia which preceded the Texas-to-Kansas experiment by a decade and a half, slapped the blame for this misunderstanding squarely on the writings of Emerson Hough.

Around the turn of the twentieth century, women carved out paths for themselves as physicians in the young field of modern medicine in Texas, graduating at a rate of about one per year from the state’s first medical school, The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB). Little research on these women exists. In fact, the majority of work on women physicians in the history of medicine concentrates on the urban Northeastern United States, the location of the country’s first medical schools to admit women.

Frank Dobie, teacher, storyteller, folklorist, historian, and author, was born September 18, 1888 on a ranch in the South Texas brush country of Live Oak County. Raised in the toughening, physically bracing traditions of a remote ranching region, Dobie nonetheless developed an early love for language and literature. His mother encouraged reading, providing her children with mail- ordered books, and his father developed the boy's narrative sense with nightly readings of the King James version of the bible. Dobie's mother saw to it that he and his siblings were sent away to relatives in the small town of Alice so that they could obtain the requisite schooling to pursue higher education. Dobie received his BA from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. There, under the influence of Professor Albert Shipp Pegues, he became enthralled by the English romantic poets. There too he met the poetry-loving Bertha McKee, who would become his wife, lifelong companion, adviser, booster and critic. After Dobie received his degree in 1910, he taught at a high school in Alpine, Texas and worked summers as a newspaper reporter.

  • Lee of Virginia,Excited by the Appearance of a Clumsy Forgery* Which Was Fully Exposed in the Columns of the Nation by Mr.W
    ILttot a+ 4*. Reprinted from the New England Historical and Genealogical Register for January, 1890. £v&yv?> ? LEE OF VIRGINIA. Genealogical Notes Proving the Error op the Previously Accepted Pedigree. Communicated by J. Henhy Lea, Cedarhurst, Fairhaven, Mass. years since a lively discussion arose over the genealogy of the SOMEdistinguished family ofLee of Virginia,excited by the appearance of a clumsy forgery* which was fully exposed in the columns of the Nation by Mr.W. H. Wbitmore of Boston. The burden of evidence at that time seemed to point to Richard Lee of Stratford-Langton, inEssex, a suburb of London, the son of Sir Robert Lee, Knt.,of that place, as identical with the Col. Richard Lee who,in1640, emigrated to Virginia and founded there a family which has perhaps given more statesmen and warriors to their new home than any other of—our old colonial progenitors. This evidence, although rather shadowy, being"_jn^fact"nothiDg more than that the emi­ grant, in his will,called himself late of Stratford-Langton," —was never­ theless generally accepted, faute de mietcx, by most genealogists, anil, itis believed, by the family themselves, while a recent magazine article by Rev. F. G. Lee inthe Miscellania Genealogica, afterward reprinted inpamphlet form,+ assumed this descent as proven and so constructs the pedigree with­ out more evidence than he is able to adduce for his own many and frantic attempts to connect himself withthe same noble family4 The writer has, however, inthe course of other investigations on which he has been engaged for some years past in the English Records, fully satisfied himself that this Richard Lee, son of Sir Robert, died in his youth, and that another Richard Lee who was also of Stratford-Langton and Step­ ney in the firsthalf of the 17th century and distantly, if at all,connected with the Quarrendon Family, was the true ancestor of the Virginia stock.

    THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES PROB 11/117/490 1 ________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: The document below is the Prerogative Court of Canterbury copy of the will, dated 6 October 1609 and proved 8 May 1611, of Sir Henry Lee (1533-1611), whose mistress, Anne Vavasour, was the mother of Oxford’s illegitimate son, Edward Vere. FAMILY BACKGROUND From the ODNB: Sir Henry Lee (1533–1611), queen's champion, was born in Kent in March 1533, the eldest of four sons of Sir Anthony Lee (1510/11–1549) of Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire, MP for the county in 1542 and 1547, and his first wife, Margaret, daughter of Sir Henry Wyatt of Allington Castle, Kent. His younger brother Cromwell Lee was the compiler of an Italian–English dictionary. The Lees of Quarrendon rose to prominence at the end of the Wars of the Roses, their fortunes established by Robert Lee, Sir Henry's grandfather. Henry could claim kinship to the earls of Essex and Leicester, to William Cecil, and even to Queen Elizabeth. Sir Henry Lee, in the phrase of his epitaph, served ‘five succeeding princes, and kept himself right and steady in many dangerous shocks and utter turns of state’ (Strong, 30), by being polite, politic, and well-connected. Entering Henry VIII's service at the tender age of fourteen, and succeeding his father only two years later, he had to grow up fast. He was knighted by the earl of Arundel on 2 October 1553. On 21 May 1554 he married Anne, daughter of the statesman William Paget. This brought Lee immunity from being persecuted for his protestantism during Mary's reign, and Anne was to bear him three children; but it was not a happy marriage.

In response to this, the Council has prepared a Net-Zero Carbon Development Plan Document (‘NZC DPD’), which will enable the District to be as close as possible to net carbon zero by 2030. The DPD defines ‘carbon’ as “all greenhouse gases excluding water vapour… [which] will require the reduction of all greenhouse gases, of which carbon dioxide is the most prominent”. The DPD identifies a suite of policies designed to help the Council meet its objective of tackling climate change and achieving net- zero carbon development by 2030. 1.2 This report tests the ability of developments in Warwick District to accommodate the policies in the consultation version of the NZC DPD, alongside plan policies in the adopted Plan and prevailing rates of Community Infrastructure Levy (‘CIL’) in the Council’s adopted Charging Schedule (subject to indexation).

  • LADIES-IN-WAITING: Art, Sex and Politics at the Early Georgian Court
    LADIES-IN-WAITING: Art, Sex and Politics at the early Georgian Court By Eric Jonathan Weichel A thesis submitted to the Department of Art in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (April 2013) Copyright © Eric Jonathan Weichel, 2013. i Abstract This thesis discusses the cultural contributions – artistic patronage, art theory, art satire - of four Ladies-in-Waiting employed at the early eighteenth-century century British court: Mary, Countess Cowper; Charlotte Clayton, Baroness Sundon; Henrietta Howard, Countess of Suffolk; and Mary Hervey, Baroness Hervey of Ickworth. Through a close reading of archival manuscripts, published correspondences and art historical treatises, I explore the cultural milieu, historical legacy and historiographic reception of these individuals. I argue that their writing reveals fresh insight on the switch from Baroque to Rococo modes of portraiture in Britain, as it does critical attitudes to sex, religion and politics among aristocratic women. Through the use of satire, these courtiers comment on extramarital affairs, rape, homosexuality and divorce among their peer group. They also show an interest in issues of feminist education, literature, political and religious patronage, and contemporary news events, which they reference through allusions to painting, architecture, sculpture, engravings, ceramics, textiles and book illustrations. Many of the artists patronized by the court in this period were foreign-born, peripatetic, and stylistically unusual. Partly due to the transnational nature of these artist’s careers, and partly due to the reluctance of later historians to admit the extent of foreign socio-cultural influence, biased judgements about the quality of these émigré painters’ work continue to predominate in art historical scholarship.
