  • Notes 
    • Anne Owen Constable was a daughter of Londoner Francis Constable who had connections with Sir John Thorowgood, one of King Charles I’s personal attendants. Anne and Richard met on the voyage from England to America. Her parents sent Anne away to escape a certain death from the plague if she stayed. Anne lost both her parents shortly after her departure. Anne was sent as a ward of the King to the America's. The marriage of Richard and Anne took place in Jamestown, 2 years after Richard began courting Anne. After their marriage, Richard sent for the only two remaining siblings of nine Constable children that had been taken by the plague. and it is because of Anne's connections, it is believed that Richard Lee climbed the political ladder rapidly. Anne is buried next to Richard and her death date is proven, even though she did remarry after Richard's death, which was prudent of most widows of that time. She married Edmund Lister. When Richard died, Anne was given a life-right to their home on Dividing Creek, where she is said to be buried. Anne remarried, to a

      "Mrs. Stanard, in her "Colonial Virginia," mentions the following incident connected with a visit which Lee made to England:

      "In 1655, Colonel Richard Lee took some of his plate to London to have its fashion changed. There was a law against exporting silver from England, and when he was about to embark on his homeward voyage the customs officers at Gravesend seized his 'trunk of plated,' but on his affidavit that it was all intended for his own use and that most of it had been brought from Virginia a year and a half before, and that every piece had is coat of arms on it, was given back to him".

      Ann, or Anna Lee, wife of Richard Lee of Virginia was married before 1642. As we look upon her face and think of her famous descendants, the impenetrable past seems more tantalizing than usual.

      She had, no doubt, a gallant father and a gentle, Christian mother. Of her youth and education, pleasant stories were no doubt, told to the little people who came into their Virginia home to sit upon her knee.

      But diligent research has brought us nothing, and she remains both the root and the flower of an illustrious ancestral tree. She is sometimes referred to as possibly a member of the Hancock family, because her fifth child bore Hancock as his Christian name, but nothing can be said with assurance.

      She was evidently a woman of dignity and cultivation, from whom her sons inherited some of those qualities of leadership which made the family eminent as soldiers and statesmen."
