Hope this may help you. My Abbott line is in TX. Two of them were named after Robert E. Lee. I also see Abbotts marrying into the Custis line in other websites (Marthat Dandridge Custis, wife of George Washington) If I read it right, Mary Custis married Robert E. Lee. I am stuck at Benjamin Franklin Abbott, b. 1812 m. to Caroline Pickett Willis. But maybe this will be fruitful in collateral lines? Since you mention your General Abbott being buried near Lee's home.
