Petronilla and Thomas had children:#Oliver, died without having surviving children;
#Stephen de Lee;
Thomas de Lee and Petronilla his wife held property in Rodenhurst co Salop, in 1296.
At Easter in 5 Edward III [31 March 1331], in Salop, Roger Trumwyne and Matilda, his wife, sued Petronella, formerly wife of Thomas de Lee, for the third part of the manors of Stanton-upon Hyneheth and Preston on le Were, which they claimed was Matilda's dower of the dotation of John de Lee formerly her husband. Petronella denied the right of Matilda to dower because her husband John had never been in seisin of the manors after his marriage to Matilda, and appealed to a jury.
Then two years later, at Easter in 7 Edward III [4 April 1333], in Salop, Roger Tromwyne and Matilda, his wife, sued Petronella, formerly wife of Thomas de Lee, for the third part of the manors of Stanton-upon Hyneheth and Preston-on-the-Were, which they claimed was Matilda's dower. Petronella, who did not appear, had previously made default, and the dower was in the King's hand. It was therefore considered they should recover seisin.[{{EE citation|title="Extracts from the Plea Rolls 1 to 15 Edward III"|editor1-last=Wrottesley|editor1-first=Major-General The Hon George|journal=Collections for a History of Staffordshire|year=1890|volume=XI|publication-place=London |publisher=Harrison and Sons, LTD|accessdate=10 December 2014|repository=Archive.org|url=https://archive.org/stream/collectionsforhi11staf#page/42/mode/2up|pages=42}}] Later that same year at Michelmas, in Salop, Petronilla, formerly wife of Thomas de Lee, sued Roger Trumwyneand Matilda, his wife, for a third of the manors of Staunton-upon-Hyneheth and Preston-othe-Were, as her right and inheritance, and in which the said Matilda had no entry except by John de Lee, to whom Thomas de Lee, formerly her husband, had demised the tenements, and to which she could not object during his lifetime. The defendants stated that they had lately recovered the third part of the manors in question, by a suit at Easter term, as the dower of Matilda; as Petronilla could not deny this, the suit was dismissed.[{{EE citation|title="Extracts from the Plea Rolls 1 to 15 Edward III"|editor1-last=Wrottesley|editor1-first=Major-General The Hon George|journal=Collections for a History of Staffordshire|year=1890|volume=XI|publication-place=London |publisher=Harrison and Sons, LTD|accessdate=10 December 2014|repository=Archive.org|url=https://archive.org/stream/collectionsforhi11staf#page/48/mode/2up|pages=48}}]
Another two years passed, then at Michelmas in 9 Edward III in Salop, Stephen de Lee sued Roger Trumwyn and Matilda, his wife, for the third part of the manor of Preston, near le Were, which Petronilla, formerly wife of Thomas de Lee, had given to Oliver, her son, and his issue, with remainder in default of such issue, to Stephen his brother, theplaintiff. And he stated that the said Oliver had been seised of the tenements in the time of King Edward, the King's father, and had left no issue. Roger and Matilda denied that Petronilla had granted the third part of the manor as stated by Stephen, and appealed to a jury, which is to be summoned for three weeks from Easter. A postscript states that the process was continued till Michaelmas term, 15 E. III, when the parties appeared in Court, and the said Matilda relinquishing her plea, stated she could not deny that Petronilla had given the third part of the manor as stated by Stephen, therefore he recovered seisin of it.
