Henry Lee, the youngest son of Richard and Letitia Lee, married Mary Bland and their youngest son, Henry II, as legend has it, won the hand of the "Lowland Beauty", Lucy Grymes away from his friend, George Washington. In any event, they remained close friends throughout their lives. Henry and Lucy Lee made their home at Leesylvania, near Dumfries, Virginia and their descendants are known as the Leesylvania Line of the family. The eldest son of Henry II and Lucy Lee, Henry III earned the nickname of Light Horse Harry for his exploits during the Revolutionary War. After his first wife Matilda died, Henry III married Anne Hill Carter. Together they had six children: Algernon Sidney who died at 15 months old, Charles Carter, Anne Kinloch, Sydney Smith, Robert Edward and Catherine Mildred.
