inittce OF the whole Councilman Stovcr
suggested that possibly President White
could tell tbcm why milk inspector has
not been named before. lie said there
nrc many men who ARE out Of work and
who would be glad To accept job that
pays 81 500 year. and he did not think
there would be any trouble in finding
man for the Office.
President White disclaimed any
knowledge as 10 why the election of a
milk inspector has been delayed. and h,
asked if Alr Stover could throw any
light ON the matter MI. Stovcr did
not do it if he could. Councilman Zim-
mermann volunteered the information
that it the Republican majority members
would leave the election of a milk in
spcctor ia tn .-,,mocratio minority side
Of the house they would ill the Office in
very few minutes. Ills suggestion did
not seem to make much Of "hit" with
the Republicans.
As the term OF milk inspector expires
next mouth, il is likely that no one win
he appointed until that time.

Anybody who delves into the gene
alogy of the Lee family which spread
over Virginia and Maryland has a per-
picking task. Not that the records
cannot be obtained, but the duplica-
tion of family baptismal names. the
large number of sons and daughters
and their marriage into other families
and the intermarriage of their descend
ants for over three hundred years
make the following og the family his
tory an exacting task.
The first of the Lees in Virginia was
Richard Lee a man of good family of
Shropshire, England. In the reign of
Charles l he went out to Virginia as
secretary of the colony and as one of
the kings privy council. 1t is mar
rated that he liked the country exceed
ing well, and, having carried over with
him a large number of servants and
assisted adventures, he made nu1ner-
Gus settlements. He lived in Virginia
for a space of time that is not stated
and returned to England. He gave his
Virginia lands to those of his servants
who had settled on them.
The call of the new world was upon
him and he came back to Virginia with
new and larger band of "adventur-
ers." as immigrants were then often
He was a very prominent man in the
colony and a stout royalist at the time
of Bacon's rebellion. 1t has been said
that it was this Richard Lees sup
port of Sir William Berkeley which
kept the colony to it's allegiance. 1t
was this royal attitude of the colony
which called down on Virginia certain
unfriendly acts by the Cromwell gov
ernment.
The first Lee, usually written of as
Col. Richard Lee" first lived at a place
called Cobbs, in northumberland coun-
ty. 1t was on the bay. Near Cobbs was
later built one of the great Lee houses
in Virginia, and which was called
Ditchley. Col. Richard Lee removed
from Cobbs to another estate on the
Potomac side Of the northern neck CT
Virginia and erected there a house, and
no doubt magnificent house for that
period. which he called Stratford. after
Stratford- on -Langton, England. in the
county of Essex. The will Of Col.
Richard Lee was dated 1868. and in that
instrument he bequeathed to his son
John a plantation called Matholec. to
his son Richard a plantation called
Paridise and many servants. to his son
Francis plantations called Papermak-
er's Neck and War Captains Neck. with
a large number of servants. black and
white. and to his younger children,
William, Hancock. Betsy. Anne and
Charles plantation called Bishops
Neck on the Potomac, comprising 1000
acres. and plantations called Mock
Neck and Stratford at the death of
their mother Anne. The will shows
that he was in possession of Stratford
and that he left it to his widow during
her life, which would indicate that 1t
was the home seat.
Richard. the son of Col Richard, was

7T was announced in the news that
the President paid a visit to STRAIT
ford Hall on the Potomac, one OF
4 the Lee ancestral homes in Nir-
ginia and the house in which Robert
F. Lee was born January IA, 1907. After
reviewing the fleet IN the Hudson the
President set out for Washington on
the Mayfiower. That ship stopped in
the Potomac off the Nomini cliffs. and
the President and his party went ashore
and then walked to Stratford Hall.
which is a mile and half from the
river. The Presidents visit was unan-
nounced and informal, and it gave dis
tinguished pleasure to the dwellers
there. 1t was an event which will be
treasured in the neighborhood memoir
fes for generations.
Stratford is in Westmoreland county,
three miles in an air line and four
miles by the usual road north of
Montross. the county seat It is two
and a half miles east of a small settle
ment called Baynesville, which lies
alongside Of the road from Montross
to Colonial Beach, and two miles north
west Of the hamlet Of Chiffon.
**
The near steamboat landings to STRAIT
ford are Mount Airy and Currioman
Landing in Currioman bay. which is
separated from Nomini bay by Hollis
marsh and Elbow point. These landings,
which are mile apart, are distant
from Stratford about five miles. STRAIT
ford is six miles southeast in air
line from the site of the house in which
George Washington was born. but it is
twice that far by road, the road max
ing wide detous to cross Popes creek
