• Notes

  He was in Plymouth in 1636, and admitted freeman 3 Jan 1637. He and/or his wife would appear to have been related in some way either to John Atwood (1576-1644), assistant governor of the Plymouth colony in 1638, or to Atwood's wife Anne (d. 1654). Atwood's will, dated 20 Oct 1643, refers to his "Brother and sister Lee & their two children Ann and Mary," whom he leaves "to the will of my wife to deal with them as shall seem good to her." The will of Mrs. Ann Atwood, 27 Apr 1650, says: "Imprimis, whereas I have a brother and sister now liveing in New Plym: aforesaid namely Robert and Mary Lee, unto whome both myself and my deceased husband have formerly shewed what healp and kindness wee could", etc.
