Notes for ANDREW LEET:Taken from Unknown History, photocopied, page 411

Andrew Leet : With Andrew Leet and his wife came a family of at least five children, of whom there are some records, and one child was born after their arrival in Nova Scotia.

It is somewhat of a coincidence that not only was there both a Leet and a Scranton in this little migration, but that the names of both families were connected in old correspondence respecting the regicides, Whalley and Goffe, who had sought asylum in the new world. At that time, the latter half of the 17th century, a William Leet was governor of Connecticut, and a Scranton also filled the same position at another time.

The Descendants of William Leete p15 (the fourth generation)

Andrew Leete, son of Samuel, m. May 12, 1763, Esther Blatchley, b. Guildford, Oct. 31, 1742, dau of Joseph and Esther (Collins) Blatchley. After her death he removed to Nova Scotia, arriving there in the Spring of 1773, with his oldest son (Jabez), then between nine and ten years of age, and leaving a younger son in Guildford. He married (2) October 17, 1773, Submit Crockett, b. 1754. He settled at Guysboro-Intervale on the banks of the Milford Haven River; this farm has never passed out of the hands of the Leete name, and is now occupied by the heirs of a great grandson. Submit (Crockett) Leete was buried October 7, 1804 and Mr. Leete May 28, 1808 and both are buried near the old home.

(Note by Estelle Leet, 1996 ... the farm was sold in the 1960's or 1970's)

xi. ALEXANDER TYRUS LEET, b. February 15, 1826, Guysborough Intervale, Nova Scotia; d. killed in Boston, Mass.USA.

Notes for MARY (POLLY) MCPHERSON:It is recorded in the records of Christ Church that the McPherson SISTERS married the Leet brothers in a double ceremony, and the Leet genealogies refer to Polly and Margaret as sisters. This does not accord with Paul's head count in his request for lands. There is one brother : Robert who aside from DOB and DOD is the invisible man.... no data maybe he is the changling?? Larry Lee believes that Mary is the daughter of Ewan or Evan McPherson of Guysborough. Not conclusive either way. But I tend to believe that the church that baptised and married the girls should know their correct parents.
