You may well be right about Lee living at Arlington in 1859. I recall that he was said to have disliked the house, which he regarded as more of a museum to George Washington than a home. So he must have spent some time there. Connections, well, Washington and Harry Lee (and George Stubblefield!) were all in the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1774. Don't know if they met before then. Robt E Lee is Harry's son. Lee died in... 1870? So Woodrow Wilson, a Virginia native, must have seen him as a boy. FDR was Wilson's Assistant Secretary of the Navy in WWI. JFK would have met FDR when Kennedy senior was named Ambassador to Great Britain before WWII.
