The MOLLUS Collection says: “Stratford,” the birth-place of Gen. Robt. E. Lee, is situated in Westmoreland Co., Va., on the Potomac River, about eight miles from “Wakefield,” the birth-place of Georg Washington.
Stratford House was built in the first part of the last century by the English Government, of brick sent over from England, for Col. Thos. Lee, great grand-father of Gen. Robt. E. Lee.
It is built in the shape of an “H,” and is 90 feet front by 60 feet deep.
