(1801–1879) known as Sally, William Fitzhugh (1804–1837), Hannah (1806–1872), Cassius Francis (b. 1808), Susan Meade (1814–1815), Charles Henry (b. 1818), and Richard Henry. In 1820, either the Lee household in Alexandria or its neighbor included two free Blacks. A decade later, the Lee household included seven enslaved people. In the last census of his lifetime, after the economic troubles described below, the Lee household included five enslaved people—young man and woman of between 10 and 24, and elderly man and woman, and a woman in the 24 to 34 age range. Death and legacy The twilight years of Lee's life were spent quietly at the Lee-Fendall House, where he lived with his daughter Sally and continued to attend to vestry and family business. Unfortunately, financial adversity haunted him like other members of the family. Economic depressions in 1815, 1819, and 1837, coupled with the failure of the Bank of the United States and some of his brother's debts, caused him to mortgage his house. In 1833, unable to meet the payment terms, Lee was forced to sell the Lee-Fendall House at auction. Three years later his son, Edmund Jennings Lee, Jr. recovered the house, and allowed his father, mother, and sister to live in the old family home. By 1839, the elder Lee had recouped financially and repurchased the Lee-Fendall House from his son. Edmund Jennings Lee died at the house on May 30, 1843. After a funeral service there, he was buried beside his wife, Sarah, at the Christ Church cemetery on Wilkes Street in Alexandria.
