| BE1883 & BEB1841, which provide the same information about this family, identify this as a "very ancient family in those parts", referring to Derbyshire. TCP reports that a "very elaborate pedigree of Leeke was entered 4 D. xiv, pp. 89-103 in 1717 at the Coll. of Arms". The information on the earlier generations of this family still has to be confirmed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Visitation mentions the following Sir John, indicating that he had issue. We thank a site 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Le18-2 | Sir
John Leek or Leake of Sutton, Derbyshire b about
1395 The
SMG correspondence identifies Sir John's wife only as Alice Grey. Some
web sites support the connection we make but others identify her as daughter
of a John Grey of Unstone Ounston or Ownston. The connection should be
viewed as somewhat speculative.
