• Visitation mentions the following Sir John, indicating that he had issue. We thank a visitor (DS, 28.01.09) for drawing the following to our attention. It comes from newsgroup correspondence within soc. genealogy.medieval (SGM) which notes that some sources suggest (apparently wrongly) that the following John was son of a Ralph.
  • ii. Sir John Leek or Leake of Sutton, Derbyshire
  • The SMG correspondence identifies Sir John's wife only as Alice Grey. Some web sites support the connection we make but other identify her as daughter of John Grey of Unstone (Ounston or Ownston). The connection should be viewed as somewhat speculative.
  • m. Alice Grey
    • a. William Leek or Leake of Langford

    • The SMG correspondence follows their son Thomas, identified as probably the 2nd son. Various web sites show their elder/eldest son as the following John and provide the connection to Sir Francis shown at the continuation point.
