Philip Lee Sr.

Philip 'Corbin' Lee (1681–1744), born to the prominent Lee family of Virginia, became a planter in Maryland as well as naval officer and served in both houses of the Maryland General Assembly. He is sometimes considered the forebear of the Maryland or Blenheim Lees, although that manor house was built by his successors. The middle name "Corbin" is a posthumously added matriname used to avoid confusion with the numerous other Lee men named Philip, such as his nephew Philip Ludwell Lee, the eldest son of his brother Thomas Lee, who built Stratford Hall in Westmoreland County, Virginia.
