Looking for information about Henry "Lt Horse Harry" Lee regarding
his land speculation in Botetourt/Rockbridge Co., probably  before
1800.  Particularly interested in any land dealings he may have had
on the south side of the James River.  Also researching  rumors that
Henry received a challenge to a duel by another officer --Col Thomas
Rowland--following a nasty remark made by Henry about Rowland's
militia troops.

  I've already searched all land records at LVA without success, and
any bios of Henry I've come across to date are pretty scanty about
all but his military/political life.  Happy to send to the court
house in Lexington for records if I knew what to ask for.
Appreciate any help or clues.  (Yes, Paul, I too,  value clues.)
