I find Lee's in St. MAry's County as early as 1652. There was a Joshua and John there who appeared before the court. Also in 1639 there was a Richard LEE and his wife who arrived in ST. MAry's from VA and he died at the home of Thomas Gerrard. HAnnah Hewitt LEE, the wife of Hugh LEE of Northumberland married William Price and in 1663 sold her property in St MAry's which became the State House. When Hugh married Hannah he was of Chicacone and Maryland, so it is possible that it was his land. MAny people from Norfolk County, VA, Western Branch of the Elizabeth River went to Maryland. I have been working on several connections to MAryland, Accomake amd the Northern Neck. Also there was a James LEE in Charles County MAryland who was desd by 1674. He was in Accomack before going to Maryland with William Stone. I believe that he had two children, but don't know names. I find a Jacob LEE but don't know if there is a connection. Sarah LEE, wife of Sampson Waring and mother of Basil Waring was a sister to Francis LEE of Accomack who died around 1670. She was born in 1629. I don't know of their connection to other LEE's but believe it is possiblethat they might be the children of John and Eme LEigh who were in Accomack in 1643. Also there were LEE connections to Kent Island prior to 1635. Colonel Richard LEE also had sons and grandsons' in Maryland. It is possible that some LEE's came into early NC with some other's from Maryland. These people possibly had ties to MAryland and the Northern Neck of VA.
