About Richard "Squire" Lee
Richard Lee (1726–1795), known most commonly as "Squire", was a prominent Virginia planter, member of the Lee family of Virginia, and American politician, who was active in the American Revolutionary War. He represented Westmoreland County Virginia continuously in the Virginia General Assembly from 1757 when the lower house was known as the House of Burgesses, through the five Virginia Revolutionary Conventions until his death in 1795. Complicating matters, he had a cousin also known as Squire Richard Lee, who built Blenheim in Maryland.
