John Richards died in Frederick Co. VA and left his lands to his siblings' children. One brother Peter had children who removed to VA, one was Alice Richards wife of John Lee, they settled in NJ. Perhaps some of their children removed to join their cousins in Frederick Co. VA ?? One couple I do not know how they came into Frederick Co. VA Michael & his wife Ann of Winchester, VA, sold land in 1787. There was a branch of "The Lee Family of VA" the ones who produced Robert E. Lee, they lived in Frederick Co. VA. At the moment I am abtracting into book form Frederick Co. VA Land Deeds 27-35 books years 1800 to 1814, perhaps the Lees of the county will become clearer. You might want to comb through the Clarke Co. VA records perhaps something might turn up. Good luck with your research. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
