HISTORICAL   RECORDS   OF  THE   LEACH 

FAMILY,    TAKEN    FROM    PUBLIC 

AND  PRIVATE  RECORDS. 


The  first  item  below  is  from  Josiah  Granville  Leach, 
in  a  printed  slip  sent  to  different  members  of  the  family : 
Lawrence  Leach,  who.  with  his  wife  Elizabeth  and 
sons  John,  Richard  and  Robert,  came  from  England  to 
Salem,  Mass.,  in  \(i2(j.  where  lie  continued  to  live  until 
his  death  in  1062.  aped  83  years.  From  researches  made 
I  am  led  to  believe  his  descendants  number  over  10,000. 
One  of  the  most  numerous  branches  of  his  posterity  is 
that  descended  from  his  son  Giles  Leach,  who  was  bom 
at  Salem,  Mass.,  and  married  Ann  Nokes  at  Weymouth. 
1056,  and  settled  in  Bridgewatcr  in  1664,  where  he  became 
entitled  by  purchase  t  :>  one  fifty-sixth  share  of  the  thou- 
sands ot  acres  of  land  bought  in  1645  of  the  old  Indian 
chief  Massasoit  (King  Philip's  father)  by  Miles  Standish, 
Samuel  Hash  and  Constant  South  worth  for  the  use  of  the 
fifty-six  original  proprietors.  When  Lawrence  Leach 
was  about  leaving  old  England  for  New  England,  Gov- 
ernor John  Winthrop,  who  had  not  then  come  to  America, 
wrote  from  Gravesend,  England,  under  date  of  April  17, 
1629.  a  long  letter  concerning  the  new  colony  to  Gov- 


4 

ernor  John  Endicott.  of  Massachusetts  Bay  Colonv.  in 
which  letter  lie  wrote  the  following:  '  We  desire  you  to 
take  notice  of  one  Lawrence  Leach,  whom  we  have  found 
a  careful  and  painsful  man  and  we  doubt  not  he  will  con- 
tinue his  diligence.'  " 

His  life  in  America  would  seem  to  have  fully  justified 
the  confidence  reposed  in  him  by  Governor  Winthrop. 
It  is  recorded  in  one  of  the  histories  of  Massachusetts,  a 
sketch  of  him  which  contains  the  following:  "  Lawrence 
Leach  held  many  important  offices  and  the  usefulness  of 
his  life  gained  respect  for  his  memory." 

Mr.  J.  G.  Leach  says,  as  a  matter  of  further  interest: 
"  Let  me  state  that  some  years  ago  my  cousin,  William 
Sanford  Leach,  son  of  Elbridge  Gerry  Leach,  of  Boston, 
made  the  English  ancestry  of  our  family  a  matter  of 
research,  and  it  is  said  he  traced  the  family  back  to  John 
Leach,  surgeon  to  King  Edward  the  Third.  My  cousin 
died  in  the  Union  army,  and  the  data  he  made  has  been 
lost." 

The  coat  of  arms  of  the  family  has  upon  it  three  crowns, 
and  the  significance  of  these  crowns  is  said  to  be  this: 
that  on  one  occasion  while  the  kings  of  France  and  Scot- 
land were  prisoners  of  King  Edward,  the  three  kings  dined 
at  the  ho-use  of  John  Leach  and,  as  a  token  of  the  incident, 
on  leaving  King  Edward  handed  to  Leach  three  crowns. 
Afterwards,  when  the  king  granted  him  a  large  landed 
estate,  three  crowns  were  placed  on  his  arms. 

The  following  is  the  history  of  the  Leach  family  that 
descended  from  Giles  Leach  (son  of  Lawrence  Leach,  of 
Salem,  Mass."),  who  settled  in  West  Bridgewater  before 


1665,  married  Anne  Nokes,  of  Weymouth,  1656.  She 
lived  in  Deacon  Bass'  family,  Braintree.  Mitchel's  his- 
tory of  Bridgewater  says  there  was  born  to  them  the  fol- 
lowing named  children,  and  perhaps  others:
