The Lee–Hamblin family is a political family rooted in the American West. It is intertwined closely with the Udall family, and most, though not all the notable Lees are also Udall descendants. John D. Lee is also a direct descendent of Richard Lee II of the Lee family of Virginia.[1][failed verification] J. David Lee (1851-1922), a son of John D. Lee, had two wives. His famous descendants all come through his second wife Inez Hamblin, who was a daughter of Jacob Hamblin. Together they have the unique distinction of having four great-grandchildren as U.S. senators from four different U.S. states.
