The Lost Lees of Stratford the Descendants of General Robert E Lee and Nancy Ruffin by Jacqueli Finley Book Summary

Recently I have been able to prove with Autosomal DNA the Lee descendants of General Robert E Lee and his slave Nancy Ruffin, adding their lineage proudly to our Lee's of Virginia descendancy from Col Richard Lee and Anne Constable.

After my battles for William Lee descendant lineages to be recognized and then coming across so many other Lee's of Virginia ancestors and descendant lineages that have suffered the same fate as William and Alice Lee's descendants, especially lines with mixed racial family members, I came across another line of denied Lee's of Virginia descendants that they too were told their family history of descending from the Lee's of Virginia but when they tried to find out the truth or seek acknowledgement were told they were not who they knew in their hearts they were.  More lies and more deceit were apparent as I had come across a website in which many professed of being descendants from General Robert E Lee and that they were told this all their lives.  It sounded so familiar to me I had to reach out.

So, in 2017 I did reach out, and wrote a post on the website I found about Robert E. Lee. It took almost 5 years to hear back from a couple of the descendants and to be able to help. I was finally able to prove 3 descendants from 2 of the 3 children of Robert E. Lee and his slave Nancy Ruffin, Peter, and Mack Lee. I say 2 of 3 children as documentation shows the possibility of a 3rd shared child of the General and Nancy but I am still waiting for a possible descendant to come forward. 

For these three Lees of Virginia Stratford descendants of Peter and Mack Lee, there is now DNA confirmation of their being Lee descendants of General Robert E Lee and Nancy Ruffin through DNA matching with multiple Lee descendants of European descent that have donated their DNA on GEDMatch.

I am forever grateful to my Lee cousins who came to me asking for my assistance and trusted me to help resolve this rumor and prove the truth.
