Mike, thanks for posting your information about Hannah Lee. I tried to email your yahoo account but was bounced, so I am having to post this lengthy email to the board. Sorry to the non Lees. I am trying to understand your comments and correlate them with what I previously had. Hope you will indulge me a few questions: 1. Was Hannah the daughter of Sampson Cooper of Maryland? 2. Who were Hannah's husbands? You note William Price of Charles Co. Md as her third husband. So, if that is right, is this also right? a) Robert Huett of Kent Island, Md. b) Hugh Lee of Northumberland, Va. c) William Price of Charles Co. Md. Seems curious that Hannah would marry William Price and, upon his death, revert to Hugh Lee's name. 3. You note Hannah as having two daughters, Susannah (married Robert Mason) and Elizabeth Rodham (married Robert? Kenner). Does this suggest Hannah was married to a Rodham? My notes from others suggest that Rodham Kenner (b. March 23, 1671) and Elizabeth Fox had a daughter Elizabeth who married a Bushrod. Any history pre 1700 on Rodham Kenner's family to explain this? Or on the Rodham family? 4. Your reference to Cherry Point is fascinating, as that area relates to my Cox family. I did not think the Coxes and Lees "hooked up" until the late 1800's. What is your Cherry Pt. info? Copied below is some of my Hugh Lee info. I look forward to hearing from you. Sandy Rowe (aka, William Lee Sandidge Rowe) Hugh was apparently granted land four times in Northumberland County. First, he was granted 100 acres on December 21, 1650 for importing himself and Rose Stockwell from Maryland (granted 50 acres per person under the headright program). Then, in 1654, he patented another 288 acres for importing another six persons; but he deserted this land and lost it. He finally settled in Northumberland County prior to May 13, 1657 for importing 22 persons, including the widow Hannah Hewitt whom he married. Hugh patented 400 acres in 1660 before his death before September 8, 1662 [book 2, 161]. Hugh's and Hannah's birthdays are deduced from affidavits they signed in Northumberland County on May 20, 1653 when they swore they were aged 44 and 37. Hugh's name is mentioned frequently in the Northumberland Court records. On April 13, 1652 he signed an oath to the Commonwealth of England (Cromwell) [Book 1, 72-3]. On January 20, 1652 his petition for a free school to be set up was granted. He served as a County Commissioner beginning August 20, 1655 and as a Justice beginning May 26, 1656 [Book 14, 84]. He acted as agent for many men, including the collection of debts. 1650 HUGH Lee bot 100 a., Northumberland Cty., adjoining own land(50 a. each as headrights- Maryland to the colony)-from St Mary's Cty, Maryland, ,just across Potomoc at Checacoun (became Northumberland Cty in 1648) Born ca 1609, died 1 April, 1662. Married Hannah, 1650. Hannah Born 1616, St. Mary's Son born a1640, also HUGH. Apparently returned to England with his mother, and back to the Colony in 1657 & 1658. (Hannah was widow of Robert Huett) 1656 Renewed 388 a., Northumberland, on Old Indian Field-King's Creek out of Chycokoon Rv 1657 transported 22 persons including Hannah Lee(wife). Headright entitlement allowed 1100 a. in Petameek freshes above Puscatoway. Died about 1662. 1658 John Ellis transported 28 persons including HUGH Lee II- son of Hugh and Hannah. Ellis settled near Appomattox River.

hi Sandy, 1. I'm showing Hannah as a sister to Sampson because of the Nephew reference to Hugh Lee in his will.  Sampson's son Samuel shows up in St. Mary's Co. MD records for a few more years and then disappears. best place to start is this link that has some of her marriage related records. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=mrmarsha&id=I73734 yes it is curious that Hannah would marry William Price and, upon his death, revert to Hugh Lee's name.... and records show she moved back to the northern neck. I'm currently revisiting the early Northumberland order books (currently at 1684) to proof marriages to about 1710 then start a similar exercise with Westmoreland, Richmond & King George. Maybe more records will flesh out (Lancaster and Old Rappahannock are done) mm ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, May 4, 2011 8:47:47 PM Subject: Re: [VA-NORTHERN-NECK] Hannah Cooper wife of Hugh Lee & William Price Mike, thanks for posting your information about Hannah Lee.  I tried to email your yahoo account but was bounced, so I am having to post this lengthy email to the board.  Sorry to the non Lees.
