Parents of Colonel Richard Lee
Parents of Colonel Richard Lee (Lees of Virginia Lost Lineages a Series by Jacqueli Finley)
In 1988, a study by William Thorndale was published in the?National Genealogical Society Quarterly, he stated that his research proved that Col Richard Lee was actually the son of a John Leyes, a clothier, and his wife Jane Hancock and that Richard had been born not at of Coton Hall in Shropshire England, but in Worcester England. In this publishing, Thorndale presented what appeared to be legitimate sources and arguments which carefully and systematically dispelled the accepted ancestral lineage of Col Richard Lee from the prominent English Lee’s from Shropshire.??Since that publishing, it appears that the majority of??research today has adopted this parentage of Richard Lee from this John Lyes and Jane Hancock assertion, even though this 1988 publishing had overridden the legal and historic documented facts that stated otherwise.?I have discovered that there is no evidence of historical documentation that can back up Thorndale's claim.
I am confident that my conclusions that are based on factual evidence and publicly verifiable documentation refuting Thorndale’s research on the "Parents of Col Richard Lee of Virginia" publishing and findings on Col Richard Lee are false.?William Thorndale uses the Family Search Data Collection as his sourcing for his section of research where he determines that the parents for Col Richard Lee are John Leyes and Jane Hancock in his article which leads to no corresponding UK records.
My research and evidence proves that Col Richard Lee was the son of Richard Lee of Coton and Elizabeth Bendy.
