Problem scenario
After Richard Henry Lee made the "Lee Resolution," on June 6, 1776, he went back to Virginia. He would have been on the Committee to draft the Declaration of Independence had he stayed (page 305 of Thomas Paine, The Author of the Declaration of Independence). Why Did Richard Henry Lee leave the Continental Congress temporarily in June of 1776?
Answer
His wife was ill (per ushistory.org and page 294 of Thomas Paine, The Author of the Declaration of Independence). She would live on, and she had more children in the 1780s, and died in 1796 per wikitree.com.
