Lonnie H. Lee

The Reverend Dr. Lonnie H. Lee is a graduate of the University of Kansas, Princeton Theological Seminary, and Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary who now resides in Leawood, Kansas. Over four decades of pastoral ministry Dr. Lee served four Presbyterian congregations in Oklahoma, Texas, and Illinois. His longstanding interest in Post-Reformation church history has inspired his in-depth study of the seventeenth-century Huguenot diaspora through extensive research in Virginia, Great Britain, and France. His article, "The Transatlantic Legacy of the Protestant Church of Cozes," was published in Great Britain in 2019 by The Huguenot Society Journal. His book, A Brief History of Belle Isle Plantation, Lancaster County, Virginia, 1650-1782, was published by Heritage Books in 2020. Another article, "Huguenot-Anglicans in Seventeenth-Century Virginia," appeared in the journal, Anglican and Episcopal History, in September 2022. Dr. Lee's most recent book, The Huguenot-Anglican Refuge in Virginia: Empire, Land, and Religion in the Rappahannock Region, was released in 2023 by Lexington Books and Fortress Academic, as part of their Anglican Studies Series. It was reviewed in Virginia Magazine for History and Biography (2024), Vol. 132, No. 2, and named by the National Huguenot Society as the best work of Huguenot scholarship for 2023.
