Thomas Lee Shippen was born in 1765 to Alice Home Shippen and Dr. William Shippen, a medical pioneer, Professor of Anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania, and Director General and Chief Physician of the Continental Army. <ref> Paul C.

<br />
After completing his preperatory studies in Maryland, Thomas Shippen toured Virginia with his family relations, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_family the Lees]. While in Virginia, he studied law with [[George Wythe]] from 1784-1786. <ref> Sheppard, ''The History of Legal Education in the United States'', 153. </ref> Inspired by this experience, Dr. Shippen sent the young, twenty-one-year-old Tommy to study law at the Inner Temple in England. <ref> Nigel, ''The Lees of Virginia'', 145. </ref> However, Shippen much preferred "go[ing] out into society, to travel, and to chase women," over study. <ref> Ibid, 146. </ref> Shippen completed two years of legal study in England before returning to Pennsylvania to practice law. Despite having a brilliant legal mind, Shippen "immediately disliked the drudgery of legal practice." <ref> Ibid. </ref><br />
<br />
In 1790, Shippen accepted another family invitation to tour of Virginia. While there, he visited the Nesting plantation and met a seventeen-year-old widow, Elizabeth (Farley) Bannister, and fell madly in love. <ref> Ibid, 146-147. </ref> By the time Shippen returned to Pennsylvania, he was engaged. As Elizabeth was part of the notable Byrd family and granddaughter to King Carter, she had both a distinguished lineage and great wealth. Consequently, Shippen was able to happily retire from legal practice and lead the life of a country gentleman. <ref> Ibid. </ref> The two were married at Nesting on March 10, 1791, and the couple purchased a farm, "Farley," in Bucks County just outside of Philadelphia. <ref> Ibid, 149; Edmund Jennings Lee, ''Lee of Virginia, 1642-1892: Biographical and Genealogical Sketches of the Descendants of Colonel Richard Lee'' (Heritage Books, 2008), Accessed September 16, 2015, https://books.google.com/booksid=DsZTOIsRnQYC&pg=PA126&lpg=PA126&dq=thomas+lee+shippen+virginia&source=bl&ots=ubZVQBj3aZ&sig=JbLVenc-KPjg-uByb00ex7Q8uOA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CEEQ6AEwCGoVChMIjJLqwf77xwIVyVk-Ch3foQ4k#v=onepage&q=thomas%20lee%20shippen%20virginia&f=false </ref><br />
<br />
Shortly after Shippen married, his health rapidly declined. His journal described "[a] worsening cough, his fight to breathe, the frequent times he was bled, his dependence upon laudanum (an alcoholic tincture of opium), his medications disasterous effects upon his gastro-intestinal system, and his morbid outlook as he lounged in his green silk dressing gown." <ref> Nigel, ''The Lees of Virginia'', 149-150. </ref> He remained at Farley and comforted himself with his private library of over 800 volumes. <ref> Ibid, 151. </ref> Shippen died of tuberculosis at the age of 33 on February 4, 1798, and was buried in Charleston. <ref> ''American National Biography Online'', s.v. "Shippen, William, Jr.," by Randolph Shipley Klein, accessed September 16, 2015, http://www.anb.org/articles/12/12-00844.html?a=1&f=%22thomas%20lee%20shippen%22&d=10&ss=1&q=1 </ref> Elizabeth remarried soon after Shippen's death, and Shippen's two children with Elizabeth were raised by Shippen's mother, Alice. <ref> Lee, ''Lee of Virginia'', 1642-1892, 152. </ref><br />
<br />
Shippen had the potential to be a brilliant lawyer and statesman according to many who knew him, but Shippen's lack of ambition unfortunately undermined that potential. <ref> Nigel, ''The Lees of Virginia'', 149. </ref><br />
