OBJE:_META	<metadataxml><content><line><p><span>Richard Lee, later nicknamed "The Immigrant" was the first member of the Lee family to live in America. Richard Lee was born 22 March 1617 in Shropshire, England, to John Lee. Richard Lee immigrated to Virginia in 1639. Richard Lee was a lawyer, planter, soldier, politician, and member of the Virginia House of Burgess. It is claimed in many genealogies that Richard's wife was Anne Constable, daughter of Francis Constable, the London publisher. During 1663, Richard Lee, with his wife and children traveled to England, where he had his will executed in London on 6 February 1663-4, just before returning alone to Virginia to oversee his interests in the Colony. The exact date of his death is unknown, but it had to be before 20 April 1664 when his son John made an application for land due to his father's being deceased. It is also not known where he died, but it may have been at his home at Dividing Creeks, Northumberland, Virginia. Lee's will stated that his wife and children should return to Virginia "all except Francis if he be pleased." His property in England was to be sold, and the proceeds be used to discharge his debts, to pay for the educaiton of his two eldest sons, John and Richard, and to provide dowries for his daughters, Elizabeth and Anne. Lee left land to all his sons and to his widow Anne for her lifetime. His widow Anne later married Edmund Lister before 24 September 1666. The date of her death is unknown, although legend has it that she was buried beside Richard Lee at Dividing Creeks. <br><br>There are some researchers who claim that Henry Lee (1650-1696) was a son of Richard, but the Society of the Lees of Virginia do not recognize that claim because of the lack of evidence.</span></p></line></content></metadataxml>
