About Giles Leach, of Bridgewater
Tony Leach comment 2017-0-19:
Seems highly unlikely that Giles is a child of Lawrence and Elizabeth. See a detailed summary in [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Leach-282].
Testwork on FTDNA suggests Giles' yDNA is either R-M269, or R-U106. https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Leach?iframe=ycolorized
Other testwork on FTDNA suggests Lawrence Leach's yDNA is I-M253 as sourced from Boyden Leach

Origin uncertain. Giles is only problematically a child of Lawrence Leach, of Salem & Elizabeth Mileham.
