notes

From http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jweber&id...

I have had most of the Leigh/Legh line for quite awhile now, with Magna Charta Sureties and Burke's Peerage to help me sort through the pedigree at this point. However I never knew what happened to the West Hall of High Leigh. Now it appears that Richard, new to me as of 12 Jul 2005, is probably the eldest son of Agnes de Legh, and heir of High Leigh. This is supported by the fact that his granddaughter was known to be of Colwich. In 1583 a Thomas Leigh of High Leigh (obviously an heir of the senior line of Leigh) held lands in Colwich, which he was granting to his cousin and heir George Leigh and his wife Elizabeth Leicester (widow).
The marriages of Elizabeth Sandbach and Margery de Arderne into this line (I have them in the reverse order of many) mirrors closely the marriages of similar daughters in the descendants of Richard's brother John. So perhaps I have them confused and this line departs from the other line later on. However I have seen stranger things in genealogy, and the chronology of the generations seems to fit the model which I have come up with.
