Elizabeth LEE, (Twin), daughter of Richard II LEE, Col (Emigrant) and Anna Constable. Born 1653 at Paradise, Plantation, Gloucester, VA, died at Wicomico, Northumberland, Va, buried at Dividing Creek, Northumberland, Va [316552.ftw] Notes for Elizabeth Lee: From William W. Grier: The Lee-Howson connection has been much confused in print. When Lee o f Virginia was published, it was stated that Richard Lee of Cobb's Hall, Northumberland Co. , Virginia, (the founder of the family), had a daughter Elizabeth, who married Capt. John How son. It has since been proved that Elizabeth Lee married Capt. Leonard Howson, and that Capt . John Howson was their son and married Elizabeth Kenner (31 V 355). Elizabeth was the daugh ter of Richard LEE I.

After Mr. Howson died, Elizabeth, who was my ancestress, married John Turberville (my ancestor), who was born ca. 1650 in Co. Worcester or Gloucester, England and died bef 9 Oct 1728 in Lancaster Co., VA. IGI VA 1988 ED Batch 8605630 -42 Married/ Related to: John Turberville Died 1728 [316552.ftw] John Turberville d. 1728, Lancaster Co., VA, m. Elizabeth Lee b. 1654, d. 1714/15, Lancaster Co., VA, (daughter of Col. Richard and Ann (Constable) Lee). John was described by Miss Lucy Brown Beale, a prominent Northern Neck historian, in 1929, as follows:, As unto the bow the cord is so unto a Turberville was a Lee. John was in Northumberland County by 18 Mar 1685, when he proved the will of Thomas Brewer [Order Bk 4:255]. On 20 May 1685, we find him appointed deputy sheriff to Capt. William Lee. He became an extensive land owner in Northumberland and Lancaster Counties and after the death of William Lee he became sheriff. On 15 Jun 1692, he took the oath as Justice of the Peace [4:592]. On 15 Apr 1696, he was sworn as high sheriff [4:723]. He was still a justice in 1699 and a member of the House of Burgesses in 1702-1704. He also served Lancaster County as Clerk. He was a man of education and culture, his manuscript copy of the Acts of the Assembly still exists, when the law read: - Whereas many Babling and Slanderous Women Slander and scandalize their Neighbors, for which the poor Husbands are often involved....be it enacted that Babling and Slanderous Women be punished by Ducking - then again we find in this primitive volume: Whereas the dispatch of Business in this Country is made obstructed for want of Bridle Wayes to the several houses and Plantations; it is enacted that every Person having a Plantation make a passage for Man and Horse to his house. John Turberville loved his God and the laws of his country and these virtues he passed on to his only son. The long and close association of Johns family with the Lee family, beginning with his marriage to Elizabeth (Lee) Howson, suggests a possible common origin with that family in the counties of Gloucester and Worcester, England. (The Parents of Colonel Richard Lee of Virginia, by William Thorndale, National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Dec 1988, Vol. 76, No.4, pp. 253-260). The arms used by John Turberville, (Ermine, a lion rampant gules, ducally crowned or), corresponds with those used by those Turbervilles of Bere Regis, Dorset, and thus, the Virginia Turbervilles are said to be descended from the English family of Bere Regis, Dorset. ( On the "Battle-Abbey Roll" appears the name of a Sir Payne Turberville, who was a companion of the conqueror, and is supposed to have been the progenitor of this family in England. The manor of Bere Regis was sold to Robert Turberville in 38 Henry VIII, and was for years the seat and sepulcher of generations of this family). The earliest recorded use of the arms of Dorset line in Virginia was on the 1720 gravestone of Frances Ashton, first wife of Johns son, George, at Booth Plantation. (Lee of Virginia, by Edmund Jenings Lee, MD, 1895; p.65). The inventory of the Lancaster County estate of John Turberville can be found in Will Book 12: 85-98. This is included in the Appendix of this book as well as a copy of the 1725/26 deed from John Turberville of Christ Church Parish, Lancaster County, to George Turberville, of Cople Parish, Westmoreland County. (Deed Bk 11: 285-286). John was taxed in Lancaster County from 8 Oct 1697 (Orders 4, 1696-1702: 33) to 12 Jan 1720 (Orders 7:336). In 1697 he paid two tithes; in 1720, six (Lancaster County, Virginia, Individual Tithables, manuscript, NBWM & L). |
