Narrative

[EricFreeman-Austin-122003.ged]

REFN704 William Leake came from England and settled in Rocky Spring, Goochland Co., Virginia in 16 85. Nickname: "English Billy."

[Nancy Lambert.ged]

[MINGEE.FTW]
This couple arrived in America in 1685 according to Mary's notes in
the family Bible that was given to her before she left on her voyage to
the new colonies. William Leake was evidently a very large landowner at
the time of his death.
According to records neither William Leak nor Mary Bostic died
leaving wills. It was believed Walter, "living there and having passed on
down to his descentents (sic) is presumed to have inherited it under the
law of primogeniture and to have been their oldest son." The original
registers 1680-1745, 1733-1784 and also the Vestry Book 1685-1758 are in
Virginia State Library. note, "may be in St Peters Parish, however the
original of Parish cannot be found".
Josiah Leake's Bible lists "Rocky Springs near Goochland VA. as the
home of his parents and grandparents: William and Mary Bostic, where th
are buried". Not all graves are marked. William Leake may have died
earlier than everyone thinks. Mary states on one document that she was
the executrix of William`s will.

[Fred Lager.ged]

Womer sources suggest that William actually died as late as 1725.
