Note: The information on Catherine Leech and her family is not clear. Leech must have been the married name she had when arriving in America from Scotland.� There is a daughter named Sarah Ward. I do not know if this is an adopted child named Ward, or possibly Sarah was Catherine's ward. Some of Catherine's children had the last name of Munro/Munroe.� Catherine married Mr. Munro while living in New York. According to the information I have at present, I believe Freelove Golden was her last child. I do not know if Catherine had another husband named Golden, or if Freelove was born out of wedlock. Her first name might give that indication. Or, was Freelove Golden taken in from another family? These were troubled times, revolutionary times. And, they were loyalist who suffered great losses. All of this requires more research. The information I have below is what I have so far.�
