biography text
Lee is effectively unidentified, but was presumably related to Thomas Lee*, who had represented Newcastle-under-Lyme in the 1420s, and William Lee*, a prominent local lawyer who sat for both the borough and Staffordshire. The latter was the representative of a junior branch of the family of Lee of Lea, near Crewe in Cheshire, and Roger’s origins are probably also to be sought in that county. His descendants may be the Lee family resident in Newcastle-under-Lyme in the 1460s.1 Wm. Salt Arch. Soc. n.s. iv. 166-7, 169.
