After re-reading it - it really is "Alice, wife of John Lee of Haspford! The article has a bit on John Richards, son of Henry RIchards and a brief mention of Alice as wife of John Lee. The piece names children of Henry Richards, but not the Lee family. It seems that (from article) that The children of Peter Richards [1770] "executed a power of attorney to John Lee to settle their affairs in America. Henry had been on the land and held one-half the estate as will the provided. On Lee's arrival, Henry sold a tract of land on Cedar River to John Lee. This was the ancestor of John C. Lee family found in that section during the 19th century." From there - it discussed the family of Henry Lee. From "Some Old Homes in Frederick County Virginia" by Garland Quarles p209-210 references same will - F.W.B.2 - Page 254 Henry Richards will - 1793 - F.W.B. 5 page 432 (might have mention of Lees) Lacates the Richards home as" northwest side of Route 604 and Cedar Creek about 2 miles southeast of Mountain Falls". and notes house burned down May 27, 1983. ALso note - states there is a Richards family graveyard "on the hill above the old house" where several generations are buried. It was sold out of the Richards family in 1837, so you may find some family or clues there. Don't forget to try the Handley Archives for family histories. http://www.hrl.lib.state.va.us/handley/about.asp?p=27 Use "search" and "archives" and there are a number of possibilities on the RIchards family.
