From the Biography of Hancock Lee Bragg: 

Hancock (3) Lee, son of Hancock (2) and Mary (Willis) Lee, was born in 1736, and
died in 1815. He was to all appearances a civil engineer by profession. He
accompanied his elder brother, Willis Lee, and his cousin, Hancock Taylor, to
Kentucky in 1771. By the latter's will he inherited lands in that state. He was
also employed bt the Ohio Company to survey their lands. George Mason, of
Gunston, wrote: "Captain Hancock Lee and one Mr. Lee are returned from surveying
the Ohio Company's two hundred thousand acres of land, and are now here making
out their returns and settling their accounts, in assisting which I am closely
engaged, as I wish to have everything clear and as regular as possible." Captain
Hancock Lee married Winifred, daughter of John Beale, of Westmoreland. Children:
Arthur; Pamela; Mary Frances; Anne; Willis, mentioned below; Hancock; Thomas;
Emeline, who married a Mr. Richards, and died without issue; Elizabeth, who
married Captain Sangster of Fauquier county and also died without leaving any
issue.
