Here in the garden of Lansdowne was buried Arthur Lee, 1740-1792. The youngest son of Thomas Lee of Stratford. He was graduated in medicine at Edinburgh in 1764 and practiced briefly at Williamsburg, but his zeal for the cause of the American Colonies prompted him to go to London, where he became a noted lawyer and political propagandist. Early in 1776 he secretly obtained the original grant of French military supplies for the Continental Army, and in 1778 he signed the Treaty of Alliance with France. He was a member of the Continental Congress, 1782-1785, and of the U.S. Treasury Board, 1784-1789. He retired to Lansdowne in 1791.
