"Anne Hill Carter Lee (March 26, 1773 – June 26, 1829) was the wife of the ninth governor of Virginia, Henry Lee III, and the mother of the general-in- chief of the Confederate States of America, Robert E. Lee. As a separated wife and then as a widow, she was the head of her household at Lee Corner, Alexandria, Virginia, in what is now known as the Robert E. Lee Boyhood Home. Her chronic pain and straightened circumstances play a significant role in her son Robert's biography. Early life Anne was born at the family seat, Shirley Plantation in Charles City County, on March 26, 1773. She was born into a patrician family of tidewater Virginia, and was the daughter of Charles Carter (1732–1806), the fifth generation owner of Shirley Plantation, and Anne Butler (née Moore) Carter (1750–1809). Through her grandfather, John Carter (1696–1742), she was the great-granddaughter of Robert "King" Carter, the 25th Speaker of the Virginia House of Burgesses from 1696 to 1697 and the Colonial Governor of Virginia from 1726 to 1727. Marriage On June 18, 1793, she married the 9th Governor of Virginia, the widower Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee (1756–1818), in the mansion's parlor. After Lee retired from the governorship in December 1794, she followed him to his Lee family holdings in northern Virginia. Six children were born to this marriage:Pryor, Elizabeth Brown (October 29, 2009). "Robert E. Lee (ca. 1806–1870)". Encyclopedia Virginia .

Anne Carter Lee's time as a wealthy patrician of northern Virginia would, however, be short. Their principal plantation, Stratford Hall, was relinquished in 1808 by entail to her stepson Henry Lee IV. Her husband had suffered repeated financial reverses, characterized by poor investments, and was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1809 and move to debtor's prison. Anne Carter and "Light Horse Harry" were separated for one year while the husband was under confinement. In 1810, the reunited couple tried to resume life together in Alexandria. Despite the fall in his honor and standing, the former governor "Light Horse Harry" had maintained fervent ties to the Federalist Party, and passionately opposed the decision by the other U.S. political party, the Jeffersonians, to declare war on Great Britain in the War of 1812. In a July 1812 outbreak of political violence in Baltimore, War Hawk rioters raided a Federalist strongpoint and tried to lynch its defenders, including Harry Lee. Anne Carter Lee was forced to learn that her husband had suffered serious physical and psychological wounds in the mob outburst. As life for him in Alexandria had become impossible, Henry Lee was forced to leave his wife and family. Lee emigrated to the South Atlantic coast and the Caribbean in a series of futile attempts to find a place to recuperate from his injuries. He died on the Georgia coast on 25 March 1818, leaving Anne Carter Lee a middle-class widow. =Widowhood= As a widow and the head of her household, Anne Carter Lee brought up her surviving children during her remaining eleven years of life. A small bequest from her Carter family enabled her to maintain the house in modest comfort. She suffered, however, from chronic health conditions herself. Her medical diagnosis, if any, is unknown, and her health challenges were primarily recorded as an additional obstacle to the young life of her fourth son Robert. Born in 1807, in his adolescent years Robert E. Lee assisted his mother to run the household. Although not poor, she was not able to face college tuition bills for Robert, who therefore sought higher education opportunities at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Young Lee did not hesitate to use his mother's Carter family kinship ties to co-sign his West Point application. During young Lee's West Point years (1825-1829), Anne Carter Lee's health further declined. She clung to life until the graduation of her son, and was given a place to live and be nursed at the home of an uncle, William Henry Fitzhugh, the Fairfax County plantation of Ravensworth. Anne Hill Carter Lee died in Ravensworth on 26 July 1829. Her son Robert named one of his daughters, Anne Carter Lee (1839-1862), in honor of his mother. =Descendants= Through her son Sydney, she was the grandmother of Confederate Major General Fitzhugh Lee (1835–1905), who later became Governor of Virginia (from 1886 to 1890), diplomat and writer; and served as Major General of U.S. Volunteers during the Spanish–American War, as well as least four more grandsons who served in the Confederate States Army or Navy. Through her son Robert, she was the grandmother of seven, including George Washington Custis Lee (1832–1913), who served as Major General in the Confederate Army and aide-de-camp to President Jefferson Davis, who died unmarried; Mary Custis Lee (1835–1918), who died unmarried; William Henry Fitzhugh Lee (1837–1891), who served as Major General in the Confederate Army who married twice; Anne Carter Lee (1839–1862), who died unmarried of typhoid fever; Eleanor Agnes Lee (1841–1873), who died unmarried of tuberculosis; Robert Edward Lee, Jr. (1843–1914), who served as Captain of the Rockbridge Artillery and who married twice; and Mildred Childe Lee (1846–1905), who died unmarried.

This species can reach a length of TL. It inhabits the waters close to the bank that are rich in vegetation, and preys on smaller fish. References Cichlasomatini Fish described in 1989 "
"Mitocul Maicilor Mitocul Maicilor ("the nuns' metochion") is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 1 Trianon Passageway in Iași, Romania. It is dedicated to Parascheva of the Balkans and to Anthony the Great. History First built around 1680, the church was rebuilt in 1760 by Vasile Roset. In this early phase, it was associated with the traders and craftsmen who lived in the area and desired their own place of worship. In 1792, after the Treaty of Jassy was signed, Metropolitan Iacob II Stamate blessed the church and dedicated it to Parascheva, whose relics were kept at the city's Trei Ierarhi Monastery. During his reign, it came under the jurisdiction of the Moldavia Metropolis. The year 1792 is marked on a small metal inscription placed on the eastern face of the building. Shortly thereafter, it became a monastery. Two houses with cells were built for nuns brought from Socola Monastery. Soon, Prince Alexander Mourousis moved the nuns to Agapia Monastery, and the cells were left in the hands of that establishment, as well as Văratec Monastery. It was during its affiliation with the nuns that the present name was bestowed. Aside from living quarters, the nuns used the cells to teach pupils and to host students and visitors. In 1819, the church was again rebuilt by postelnic Mihail Pascu. Following earthquakes, as well as bombings during World War II, the building was seriously deteriorated, so that exterior repairs were carried out in 1959. A new support pole for the spire cross was installed and interior varnishing was done in 1966. Cătălina Mihalache, History at the Iași County Cultural Office site Description The church is trefoil in form, plastered on the exterior and interior. It is made of stone and brick, with a frame roof and six windows. Outside ornamentation is limited to a few simple decorative motifs of Neoclassical or Baroque inspiration. The bell tower sits atop the vestibule, while the church is entered through an added foyer. Another entrance door lies on the south face of the altar. Until the 1863 secularization of monastic estates in Romania, the church was administered by Văratec Monastery. It then passed to Iași city hall, which paid the clergy's salaries, until 1892, when clerical reform again brought it under the Metropolis of Moldavia, which declared it freestanding. In 1925, when the Romanian Orthodox Church was reorganized, it became a filial of the Banu Church. The interior walls are not painted. The iconostasis is of carved wood, with the icon of the Last Supper is in the Italian style. The rest of the iconostasis icons are post-Byzantine, painted in the early 19th century. Among the valuables in the collection are the silver chalice from 1795, the 1784 Gospel Book from Râmnic and the 1821 one from Neamț Monastery, and the 1824 silver communion box. There is also a sewn epitaphios from 1880 and a wooden pulpit carved in the early 19th century. While Parascheva is the principal patron, it is not known when the dedication to the secondary patron, Anthony, took place, as no relevant documents survive. Short history at the Mitocul Maicilor parish site The church is close to the palace of Alexandru Ion Cuza, today the Union Museum, and served as his personal chapel. Thus, it has been known as Cuza's Church. His throne forms part of its property. The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.
