AWARDS

​

Hannah Harrison Ludwell Lee (1701–1750) was the daughter of Philip Ludwell II and Hannah Harrison of Green Spring, Virginia. She married Thomas Lee in 1722, bringing property and social connections to their household. Together they established Stratford Hall, whose design partly reflected her specifications. Their children included Declaration signers Richard Henry and Francis Lightfoot Lee. She should be distinguished from her daughter Hannah Lee Corbin.

EARLY LIFE

Hannah Harrison Ludwell was born on Dec 5, 1701 in Green Spring Plantation, James City County, Virginia. The surviving biographical summary provides only limited evidence about childhood, schooling, and the daily circumstances of the household, so those details are not reconstructed here without documentation. What can be stated securely is that this person belonged to the interconnected family world from which HistoryGPS traces participants, relatives, and later descendants of the Revolutionary generation.

No distinct public profession or office for Hannah Harrison Ludwell is established by the source summary used for this entry. The surviving record is primarily genealogical and documents family identity rather than an independent public career. Hannah Harrison Ludwell died on Jan 25, 1750 in Stratford Hall, Westmoreland County, Virginia. Additional claims about employment, public service, or accomplishments have been omitted where the consulted source did not support them.

CAREER

DEATH

Hannah Harrison Ludwell Lee died at Stratford Hall in Virginia on January 25, 1750, aged forty-eight. The house she and Thomas Lee established was the center of their large family's life, including sons who later played important roles in independence. Her own death preceded that Revolutionary generation's public careers. The consulted biography records the death and subsequent burial history, including an initial burial at the Burnt House Fields cemetery and a later transfer to Stratford, but it does not identify the disease or other immediate cause. The date of burial should not be confused with the date of death, and no final medical course can be reconstructed from those records alone. Her husband's death later in 1750 was a separate event. Details of symptoms, doctors, treatments, and final conversations remain unestablished in the material reviewed.
