"According to the ancient Chinese proverb, "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single

step." My fellow Americans, let us take that first step. Let us, if we can, step back from the shadows

of war and seek out the way of peace. And if that journey is a thousand miles, or even more, let

history record that we, in this land, at this time, took the first step" John F. Kennedy

The Journey Begins:

Presenting 'Richard and Anne' which is a historical biography of the lives of Col Richard Lee and his wife Anne Constable, who progenerated the famous Lees of Virginia. This published genealogy and historic accounting will encapsulate the timelines of when and how they met, the circumstances of their back stories, the background of their ancestry. Their journey to the New World, Jamestown Virginia in Colonial America. Their personal growth, the establishment of their life together in the Virginia Colony with their children, their acquisitions of wealth, and the creation of their Lees of Virginia family Legacy.

This book represents the collected research of Jacqueli Finley over a span of 40 years which has been scrutinized through documented evidence, DNA confirmations, and a culmination of compiled research, and publications. This work also includes contributions of past predecessors of the best Lee genealogist and historians that had gleamed through evidence as what was fact or disregarded as myth, which has enabled Jacqueli to have acquired one of the most accurate and largest genealogical databases of the Lees of Virginia family, descendants, and ancestors.

This publication is a necessity for the preservation of the accuracy of the descendant lineages and ancestry of the Lees of Virginia offspring as many of the Lee family descendants have suffered because of the dissection of lines, the misinformation regarding the Lee Y-DNA projects that greatly affected true Lees of Virginia descendant recognition by wrongly assigning a Y-DNA Haplogroup to the Lees of Virginia male lines from Col Richard Lee, and the purposeful misrepresentation of facts and truths regarding the entire Lees of Virginia history and genealogy.

This book presents the fact-finding efforts into the research that presents the truth discovered in the attempt to set things right and to preserve the life stories of our Lee Ancestors for our generations to come.
