George Lee, was precentor in the Scots Church, Tweedmouth, and later treasurer, elder, and session clerk. George early entered on business as a boatbuilder oil his own account, and became a fairly prosperous man, employing from eight to ten men in addition to apprentices. Robert, his son, was educated under a good classical teacher, Guy Gardiner, and served an apprenticeship of six years with his father as a boatbuilder. When he was nine years old the father was able to buy a substantial house, still occupied by a relative. The story of his having to sell a boat for his college fees is unlikely, as his father was a prosperous man. In his vacations Robert Lee used to bring fellow. Students down with him and take them out in a boat, probably built by himself. He was the eldest son. Anthony Pye, his brother, entered the Church of England, but died at the early age of twenty-five, in 1842. Another, William, who was an engineer, entered the Mint at St Petersburg, but fell under suspicion during the Crimean war, was banished to Siberia; and never more heard of.
