From the Biography of Hancock Lee Bragg: 

On the maternal side Mr. Bragg is descended from Richard Lee, usually described
as "the Colonel," the American founder of the Lee family, who settled in
Virginia in the early part of the seventeenth century, and died there probably
early in 1664, certainly before April 20 1664. He made several voyages to
England, bringing back settlers whom he settled on land improved at his own
expense, finally making his home in Northumberland county, Virginia. He married
one Anna, who after his death married (second) Edmund Lister. Among the children
of Richard and Anna Lee was Hancock, ancestor of what has been called the
"Ditchley" branch of the family to which Mr. Bragg through his mother belongs.
