We have already given the pedigree
Of the Lees. Of Virginia, as descended
from the Lees Of Cotton and Langley,
in the county of Shropshire, England.
There was. however, q younger branch
of the English Lees, which seems to
have been an offshoot from the original
parent stock. which bore different arms
and migrated first to the Barbados,
and thence to South Carolina, settling
at Charleston early during the eigh-
teenth century. Going back to about
the TINE of Henry VII, we find that
there was n Robertus-de-Lee, born at
Bridgworth. a town near Cotton, Shrop-
shire, the seat of the Lees. This Robert
was granted the arms as given above,
December 20. 1888. He became Lord
Mayor of London. 1902. and in 1905 he
died. Harry Lee. one of his sons, was
captain of company in the city of
London. who bore the same arms as
Sir Robert. his father. This Henry
Lee had a son, Francis Lee. who moved
TO the Island of Barbados with Mary,
his wife, taking with him the same
family coat Of arms.
