Henry “Light-Horse Harry” Lee's father was a second cousin to Philip, 
Thomas Ludwell, Richard Henry, Francis Lightfoot, and Arthur Lee. I 
believe that would make them second cousins once removed.

BTW- I have just finished researching the strong relationship between 
the Lee brothers and the origins of a free press. I will be presenting 
that paper at a conference in August.
