}}Col. Henry Lee II (1730–1787) of Alexandria, Westmoreland, Virginia Colony, was an American planter, soldier, and politician, the father of Henry "Light-Horse Harry" Lee III, and grandfather of Robert E. Lee.[1]

Early life

Lee was the third son of Capt. Henry Lee I (1691–1747) of "Lee Hall", Westmoreland County, and his wife, Mary Bland (1704–1764), the daughter of Hon. Richard Bland, Sr. (1665–1720) and his second wife, Elizabeth Randolph (1685–1719).[2]

Lee was born at "Lee Hall" in 1729, settled in Prince William County, living at "Leesylvania",[3] near the town of Dumfries. He served as a justice of the peace in that county and first in commission. In addition he was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1758, where he served on and off until 1772. He was a member of the Virginia Convention from 1774-1776. Lee served as County Lieutenant for Prince William, and was active in the duties of that office during the Revolution. Henry Lee II also served as a member of the State Senate in 1780. Henry's will was dated August 10, 1787, and was probated in Prince William County on October 1 of the same year.

Family and marriage

Lee was the third son of Capt. Henry Lee I (1691–1747) of "Lee Hall", Westmoreland County, and his wife, Mary Bland (1704–1764), the daughter of Hon. Richard Bland (1665–1720) and his second wife, Elizabeth Randolph (1685–1719).[1] Randolph was the daughter of William Randolph.[1]

Lee married Lucy Grymes (1734–1792), the daughter of Hon. Charles Grymes (1693–1743) (twice related to President George Washington) and Frances Jennings (great-aunt of Edmund Randolph). Charles Grimes was of the estate "Morattico", in Richmond County, Virginia. He was sheriff of Richmond County, and a member of the Council from 1724-1725.

"Leesylvania" was located between Neabsco Creek and Powell Creek in Prince William County, Virginia[3] with a magnificent view up the Potomac River. It was the ancestral home of Robert E. Lee's branch of the family[4] where his grandparents, Henry Lee II and Lucy Grymes lie buried.[3] The plantation home burned about 1790. The estate was sold to Henry Fairfax in 1825, whose family lived there in a home which may have pre-dated the Lee residence. The Fairfax home burned in 1910[3] and the ruins of the walls and a chimney are all that remain.[5]
