For the rest of the genealogy, get a copy of LEE OF VIRGINIA, which does a very good job of detailing the genealogy. For more historical detail on Richard Henry Lee, look at about any history of the Revolution, and the events leading up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. See also the book entitled THE LEES OF VIRGINIA, by Paul C. Nagel.
