Robert Lee

Robert Lee is believed to be born circa 1602 in London, Middlesex, England. He married Mary Atwood circa 1623. 

Mary was born circa 1603 to John Atwood (1580-1644) and Ann Coleson (1580-1654). She was Christened 23 Feb 1603. Mary is believed to be their only child. Records list John Atwood died in Plymouth circa 1644 and Ann  died in Boston 1654. This is consistent with the documentations of their wills I found in the Pioneers of Massachusetts, page 23. 

Children John Atwood and Ann Coleson 

Mary Lee (1603-1681)

Although I couldn't pinpoint Mary and Robert's arrival, page 282 of the above book, the record states that Robert Lee was in Plymouth in 1636. Robert died circa 1663. Mary died about 1 Oct 1681 in Barnstable, Massachusetts, having lived with her son-in-law John Howland Jr for eight years prior to her death.
