• Notes

  [EricFreeman-Austin-122003.ged] The LEAKES have been domiciled in Albermarle Co., Virginia since its formation. WALTER Leake, Jr., patented land on the south fork of Hardward in 1746, and John on Green Creek in 1748. It is believed these two were brothers. Data for accurately tracing the early relations of this family are wanting, but it is probable that John Leake and his wife, Ann, were the parents of Samuel and Mask.
