    3. Who is RICHARD HENRY LEE, grandson of RICHARD HENRY LEE of the Revolution and brother to CHARLES? Who was he grandson of? Can someone help me with the lineage. Thanks, Molly In checking Confederate records of some of my ancestors, I came across the following: RICHARD HENRY LEE enlisted 6/30/1861 - 39 years old from Jefferson Co., VA. He later applied for apointment to one of the military courts and several letters were written in his favor. However, the writing is difficult to read. 1. 5/5/1862 - to House of Representative. RICHARD HENRY LEE is a great grandson of the distinguished EARNEST MOSES?NEVINS?NOSOMS? s/Batalia? 2. Letter from R. H. Chilton - my friend RICHARD HENRY LEE, the brother of CHARLES LEE, Sr. . . applicant as member of one of the militia courts appointed . . . 3. Another letter dated 10/28/1862 written at Camp near Winchester. s/R. B. Garnette 4. Another written 10/22/1862 - I have known RICHARD HENRY LEE from boyhood. He is the grandson of RICHARD HENRY LEE of the Revolution, a gentleman of education of high standing . . . served until Battle of Kernstown where he was wounded. . . s/O. H. Tarrant? 5. Letter written by RICHARD HENRY LEE, and signed Col. in Military Court dated 2/2/1864 - Richmond - General requests leave of absence for 30 days. I have just returned from an imprisonment by the enemy of 5 mos. My health has improved nicely since I left. I otherwise . . but is not good. I deem the Court to permit my strength and to attend to some matters of private interest. Very Respectfully RHL
