Lee Chronicle: Studies of the Early Generations of the Lees of Virginia

This book is a series of studies concerning the early generations of the Lees in Virginia, drawn from articles written by the late Cazenove Gardner Lee, Jr., antiquarian of the family, and published between 1922 and 1939 in the Magazine of the Society of the Lees of Virginia, of which he was the editor. The Society is composed of descendants of Colonel Richard Lee, emigrant from England to Virginia in 1640. Among its purposes have been to bring the family archives up to date, to acquaint the members with the this information and to make it available, along with data of general historical import, to interested outsiders. Cazenove Lee, through his original research and his collection and publication of old manuscripts, letters, deeds, recollections, and Bible records, made a valuable contribution to these archives, and at his death the Society voted to assure his writings a wider circulation by having them put into book form as a memorial to him.

Compiled and edited by Dorothy Mills Parker. Foreword by the editor, prefatory note on the Lee Society, table of contents, list of illustrations, appendix, bibliography, index.
