Mother: Lucy Ludwell GRYMES |
While Greene lay low near Camden, Lee's Legion thundered south
through hackberry thickets to meet Francis Marion's guerrillas
and take Fort Motte, a fine plantation house where the British
were entrenched. Now Rebecca Motte encouraged Marion and Lee to
burn her home if necessary to get the British out. With "a smile
of complacency" she furnished the fire arrows to ignite the
roof. The 150 British surrendered, the patriots put out the
fire, and Mrs. Motte entertained both the British officers and
their captors at her own dinner table. Henry Lee was amazed at
her "ease, vivacity, and good sense." The British soon pulled
back all the way to Charleston."
"Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee III, born at Leesylvania near
Dumfries, Virginia, was blonde, blue-eyed, and full of spirit.
He graduated from Princeton in 1773 and returned home to prepare
for war. His skill as a horseman, as well as his temperment,
made him a natural cavalryman. He soon was commissioned as
captain in the fifth group of Virginia Light Dragoons and sent
north to join the Continental Army.
Leading his men on lightning raids against enemy supply trains,
Harry attracted the attention and admiration of General George
Washington and was rapidly promoted. In a surprise attack at
Paulus Hook, New Jersey, he captured 400 British soldiers with
the loss of only one man. His adroit horsemanship soon earned
him the nickname "Light Horse Harry." When the military theatre
shifted, he enjoyed equal success in the Southern Department.
Resigning his commission after the British surrender at
Yorktown, Harry returned to Virginia to marry his cousin, the
"divine Matilda" Lee. The wedding took place at Stratford, and
it is said that General Washington contributed several pipes of
his best Madeira to the festive occasion. Matilda had inherited
Stratford in the division of her father's estate and lived there
with her new husband. The dashing young calvaryman, however, was
no farmer. His interests in the livelier arena of politics led
to Harry's election to the new Virginia House of Delegates.
After only eight years of marriage, Matilda died in 1790,
leaving three young children and a husband desperate with grief.
Two years later, Harry was elected Governor of Virginia, serving
three one-year terms. While living in Richmond, he fell in love
with Ann Hill Carter of nearby Shirley Plantation. In 1793 they
were married. His governorship behind him, he took his bride to
Stratford.
Again, family life was interrupted by his appointment to the
Continental Congress in Philadelphia. Upon the death of
President George Washington, Harry was asked by Congress to
deliver a tribute to his beloved general, describing him for
posterity:
First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his
countrymen...second to none in the humble and endearing scenes
of private life.
After the death of his idol, Harry's fortunes began to decline
rapidly. the support of a family of six, coupled with disastrous
land speculation, reduced him to financial poverty, Then, on
January 19, 1807, in the large upstairs room at Stratford where
so many Lees had come into the world, Ann gave birth to their
fifth son, Robert Edward, named after two of his mother's
favorite brothers. As Robert was learning to walk, his father
was carried off to debtor's prison in Montross.
With characteristic courage, in a 12-by-15 foot prison cell,
Harry wrote his Memoirs of the War in the Southern Department of
the United States, still the standard text on that portion of
the Revolutionary War. When the book was finished in 1810, the
family moved to Alexandria, where a new life on a modest scale
was made possible by a legacy from Ann's father. Harry's eldest
son, Henry IV, became master of Stratford.
Light Horse Harry's" last years were marred by sorrow and pain.
Internal injuries, received when he was beaten by a mob as he
defended a friend and freedom of the press in Baltimore, kept
him in constant physical pain. He sought relief in the warm
climate of the West Indies. When his health continued to
decline, Harry attempted to return home, but died on Cumberland
Island, Georgia, in the home of the daughter of his former
commander, Nathanael Greene."
"LEE, Henry, 1756-1818: LEE, Henry, (brother of Richard Bland
Lee and grandfather of William Henry Fitzhugh Lee), a Delegate
and a Representative from Virginia; born at “Leesylvania,” in

Harry Lee and the Legacy of the American Revolution. New York:
Knopf, 1981
Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume II, I--Fathers of the
Revolution: Henry Lee was born at Leesylvania, Westmoreland
county, Virginia, January 29, 1756, son of Henry and Lucy
(Grymes) Lee, grandson of Henry and Mary (Bland) Lee,
great-grandson of John and Lettice Lee, great-great-grandson of
Richard and Laetitia (Corbin) Lee, and
great-great-great-grandson of Colonel Richard and Anne Lee.
Henry Lee was graduated at the College of New Jersey, A. B.,
1773, A. M., 1776. Prevented from visiting Europe by the
preparations for revolution, he returned to Virginia, recruited
a company of "light horse" in 1775, was appointed captain in
Colonel Theodorick Bland's legion of Virginia cavalry, and in
1777 joined Washington's army in Pennsylvania. He was promoted
major for gallant conduct in battle, in January, 1778, and was
given command of two troops of horse, to which he added a third
troop and a company of infantry, and "Lee's Legion" became an
independent partisan corps and its leader received the cognomen,
"Lighthorse Harry." This corps constantly hung on the flank of
the British army, and annoyed both their march and camp. On July
19, 1779, Lee surprised the British at Paulus Hook, New York
harbor, and with the loss of five of his riders carried off 160
prisoners, for which service Congress gave him a gold medal. He
was promoted lieutenant-colonel and marched to South Carolina,
where he covered the rear of General Greene's army. After Greene
had crossed into Virginia, Lee remained in the mountains of
North Carolina to encourage the Whigs and harrass Tarleton and
the loyalists. His efforts to surprise the British dragoons were
unsuccessful, but he defeated 400 loyalists under Colonel Pyle.
At Guilford Court House, March 15, 1781, his legion proved more
than a match for Tarleton's dragoons, and, when General Greene
marched against Camden, he sent Lee and Marion to cut off
Rawdon's communications with the seacoast, and they captured
Fort Watson, which forced Rawdon to abandon and burn Camden, May
10, 1781. Colonel Lee then proceeded south, capturing Forts Mott
and Granby, and May 25 reached Augusta, Georgia, which city also
fell into his hands June 5, 1781. He rejoined Greene's army, and
took part in the siege of Fort Ninety-six, which after
twenty-eight days was raised on the approach of Rawdon with 2000
men. In the battle of Eutaw Springs, September 8, 1781, Lee's
Legion rendered distinguished service, and when the British
retreated to Charleston, Lee followed so closely as to capture a
large number of Rawdon's rear-guard. He witnessed the surrender
of Cornwallis at Yorktown, October 19, 1781, and soon after
resigned his commission and became proprietor of "Stratford
House," by his marriage to his second cousin, Matilda, daughter
of Philip Ludwell Lee. He was a delegate to the Continental
Congress from Virginia, 1785-88, and a member of the convention
called to ratify the Federal constitution in 1788, and in that
body, with Madison and Marshall, he opposed the efforts of
Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee, George Mason, James Monroe,
Benjamin Harrison and John Tyler, to defeat the ratification. He
was a representative in the general assembly, 1789-91, and
governor 1792-95. President Washington, in 1794, commissioned
him major-general in command of troops sent to Western
Pennsylvania to suppress the whiskey insurrection, and on his
appearance with 15,000 men the insurrectionists were overawed
and peace was restored without bloodshed. He was a
representative in the sixth Congress, 1799-1801, and at the
close retired to private life. He married (second) in 1798, Ann
Hill, daughter of Charles and Anne Butler (Moore) Carter, of
Shirley, Virginia. He was oppressed by debt the last years of
his life. On July 27, 1812, while in Baltimore on a visit to
William Hanson, editor of the "Federal Republican," the printing
office was attacked by a mob, and in the conflict that followed
he was left for dead upon the street, where he was found
insensible. He was disqualified for military service from the
effects of this encounter. He visited the West Indies in 1817
for the benefit of his health, and on his way home he stopped at
the homestead of General Greene, near St. Mary's, Georgia, where
he was entertained by Mrs. Shaw, daughter of his old commander,
and under whose roof he died. He was the author of: "Funeral
Oration upon President Washington," (1799), delivered before
both houses of Congress, in which occur the words, "The man,
first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his
fellow-citizens"; and of "War in the Southern United States" (2
vols., 1812). He died on Cumberland Island, Georgia, March 25,
1818. Recently his remains were removed to Lexington, Virginia,
and interred by the side of his illustrious son, General Robert
E. Lee."
"Also known as (Light Horse Harry).American Revolutionary
soldier, known as Light-Horse Harry Lee. A daring cavalry
officer, he fought in the Carolina campaign after 1780. He was
Governor of Virginia for 3 terms. "On April 11, 1809 he was
arrested for debt and imprisoned in the Westmoreland County
jail. He was arrested again before the year was over and sent to
the Spotsylvania prison." There he wrote his memoirs. When he
got out of prison in 1810 he moved his wife Ann Carter and their
children into a little house on Cameron Street in Alexandria,
Virginia. His memoirs were published in 1812 by a Philadephia
publisher. In the late summer of 1813 after suffering near fatal
wounds and facial mutilation inflicted by a mob he went to the
warmer climate of Barbados. He died in 1818 while in route home
at Dungeness on Cumberland Island, Georgia, the home of an old
friend."
"The eldest son of Lucy Grymes and Col. Henry Lee was known as
"Light Horse Harry Lee," a famous General of the Revolution, who
was born January 29, 1756, at Leesylvania, some three miles from
"Dumfries," a village built by Scotch merchants, and then the
county seat of Prince William Co. General Henry Lee died March
25, 1818, aged sixty-three. He was twice married. By his first
wife, Matilda, daughter of Philip Ludwell Lee, he had four
children, and by his second wife, Anne Hill Carter, of
"Shirley," he had six children. The last son by the second
marriage was Robert Edward Lee, C. S. A. (See Volume II,
Chapters VII and VIII.)."
"The Lees frequented Fredericksburg, and Light Horse Harry was
once in prison bounds there for debt. It is related that from
the jail of that town he wrote to his old friend Robert Morris
about his sad case, and asked him to accommodate him with a
loan. The great financier replied that he was "very sorry he
could not oblige him, because he, too, was in the same
condition"!
