Summary
Updated 2026-08-17

Col. Henry Lee II (1730–1787) was an American planter, military officer and politician from Westmoreland and later of Prince William County. Although he served in the Virginia General Assembly for three decades, and also held local military and political offices, Lee may today be best known for Leesylvania plantation, having been overshadowed by his cousin Richard Henry Lee and his sons, especially his lawyer sons Charles, Edmund Jennings Lee I and Richard Bland Lee I and his somewhat scandal-plagued firstborn son Henry "Light-Horse Harry" Lee III.
