Col William Lea III was the son of Wm Lea II b 1623 Charles
City, VA - d bef May 1703 in K&Q co VA. That William was the son
of William Lea I b ca 1588 - d 1653 in James co VA.
Col. William Leigh (Lea) was born in 1654 in York Co. and
married Mary Green.
Col. William Lea, thought to be born about 1654 in York County,
Virginia. We do not know who his parents were at this time.
Col. William Lea was a very influential man. He was such a very
close friend of Virginia Governor Nicholson.
William Lea was one of the founders of King and Queen County,
Virginia when that county was carved out of New Kent County in
1691 (New Kent County had been made from York County in 1654).
William Lea was Burgess of New Kent County in 1691. In 1692 he
was a Justice in King and Queen County. He became a Burgess of
King and Queen County in 1693 and held that position until his
death in 1703.
In 1698 he was Captain of the King and Queen militia. In 1699,
he became a Col.and Comander-in-Cheif and a member of the August
Virginia Council. In 1702, he became the first Judge of the
Admiralty Court of Virginia. In 1703, he was chairman of the
Virginia House of Burgesses.
He lived on a branch of the York River and had to cross the York
to get to Williamsburg, the seat of Virginia government. He
owned extensive lands. All land patented by him between the
year 1682 and 1699 were in the Parish of St. Stephens, most of
it in King and Queen County, except for a large grant in Essex
County. In later years, when new counties were formed, some of
his land fell into Spotsylvania and Caroline Counties. The
bulk of his estate was inherited by his son John Lea (6200
acres).
In 1699, William Lea and Benjamin Harrison were granted 3474
acres, all of which became part of the 6200 acres inherited by
his son, John Lea.
On May 28, 1703, Benjamin Harrison wrote the following note to
Philip Ludwell:
"Col. Lea fell from his horse lately and cracked his scull and
is dead. Tis said he was drunk at Parson Bookers house on the
Sabbath and going home, happened to the accident."
Col. Lea's wife's name was Mary, but we do not know what her
maiden name was.
Their children were:
- John Lea* (born c1677, New Kent Co., VA). He married Ann "?".
- William Lea (born c1682, New Kent Co., VA). He married
Frances "?". He died in North Carolina.
- A daugher, (born c1679) who married Valentine Ware.
- A daughter, (bon c1684) who married William Haynes.
- There may have been other children.
In 1705, at King and Queen County, Col. William Lea's widow,
Mary Lea, with her two sons-in-law, patented two pieces of land
- 600 and 200 acres a piece. Her son John Lea, on the same day
patented 484 acres.
In 1705, Lea's 6,200 acres, was inherited by his son John, who
married Ann Carter. Elizabeth, John's daughter, married Zachary
Taylor and was the president's grandmother. His son, William,
married Rachel Ambrose, and their daughter Sarah married George
Penn, brother of John Penn, whose grandson, John Penn, signed
the Declaration of Independence.
William Leigh: Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume I,
IV--Burgesses and Other Prominent Persons.
Land patented by Lea from 1682-1699 was in St. Stephens Parish,
in King and Queen, except for a large grant in Essex Co.
Col. William Leigh (Lea) was born in 1654 in York Co. and
married Mary Green. He had been a King and Queen Co. Burgess and
Militia Capt., Col. and Commander -in- Chief, and a member of
the August VA Council, and the first Judge of the Admiralty
Court of VA. In 1703, he was chairman of the VA House of
Burgesses. He lived on a branch of the York River and had to
cross the York to get to Williamsburg, the seat of VA
government. Land patented by Lea from 1682-1699 was in St.
Stephens Parish, in King and Queen, except for a large grant in
Essex Co.
In 1705, Lea's 6,200 acres, was inherited by his son John, who
married Ann Taylor. Elizabeth, John's daughter, married Zachary
Taylor and was the president's grandmother.
His son, William, married Frances Major, and their daughter
Sarah married George Penn, brother of John Penn, whose grandson,
John Penn, signed the Declaration of Independence.
After her husband's death, Mary Leigh and her sons-in-law,
Valentine Ware, and William Haines, obtained two patents in King
and Queen Co. on 5/2/1705. One for 600 acres (Land Patent Book
5, pg. 488, and Book 9, pg. 657), the second 260 acres (deed K&Q
1731-1) next to Peter Ware, bought from Col. William Claybourne.
On 12/4/1714, Col. William Lea's son, William purchased 100
acres in King and Queen Co. from Thomas Ware, deceased, located
next to John Madisoní's Mill North of the Mattapony River in St.
Stephens Parish (Land Patent Book 10, pg. 214 VA State Library).
Valentine and Mary Leigh's son and daughter-in-law, Edward and
Elizabeth Garrett, were the great great great grandparents of
Lucy Ware Webb, wife of President Rutherford Birchard Hayes, and
the great great grandparents of Elizabeth Ware whose husband,
Dr. Crawford W. Long pioneered the use of ether in his medical
practice. Their son Nicholas was the great great great
grandfather of Thomas Lewis Ware about whom the book "35 Days to
Gettysburg, The Campaign Diaries of Two American Enemies", by
Mark Nesbitt was written. It was the daily diary entries of
Thomas Ware a confederate soldier in the Northern VA army, Co.
G, 15th GA Regiment of Infantry from Lincoln Co. GA (enlisted
7/14/1861), as well as the diary of a Federal soldier, written
as they approached Gettysburg.

am not certain about Matthew Lay across the Mattaponi River (Va
