" my screen name does not refer to Light-Horse Harry Lee, but rather his father, Henry Lee II of Leesylvania in Prince William County. Henry cut Harry out of his will because of his irresponsibility, and the second son, Charles, received most of the estate. ...Henry Lee II was not one of those who maxed out his credit, as you rightfully state other planters did. He was very wealthy, being a direct descendant of Richard Lee II, and having been bequeathed several large tracts of profitable lands. He had a lucrative commercial fishery on the Potomac, in addition to his planting endeavors, and left a large estate to his children. His money helped to finance Lee's Legion during the Revolution, having paid for uniforms, cannon, training, etc. If Harry seemed bitter after the war, it was typical of many planters who saw their money going to support the war effort, while Virginia had much less debt than the northern states, and then, during the era of the Articles of Confederation and the early Federal era, saw the country's monetary system turn to favor those dealing in abstract credit. Harry had many faults and never lived up to the respect engendered by his father, but he was not entirely wrong on everything. "

A valued poster with depth (and humor).

To all,

This has come as the greatest of shocks. I knew he was unwell but thought he might have been getting better. I then began to get worried when I hadn't heard from him in awhile and now this.

We last emailed about four weeks ago and were planning to meet up for lunch. We had emailed and often FReeped one another barbs regarding history....one of his replies to me was quoted here. I never met a better match to my historic arguments than him.

He was most gracious and kind to me when my father Sultan88 passed away this summer. We continued emailing. When I moved to Williamsburg we met for a three hour lunch and were on the verge of becomming fast friends.

This is very very sad. I plan to make a donation as large as I can to help his children. I soon hope to see his name on the memorial wall in honor of a true Virginian, a scholar and a gentleman.

God's enternal blessings upon his family.

Farewell my FRiend. A truer Virginian I have never met than thee.

Sorry for your loss. He does not sound like he was that old-it's always heartbreaking when a young parent leaves behind young children. Prayers for him and his loved ones.

May he rest in peace.
