The Family of William Leete, One of the First Settlers of Guilford, Conn., and Governor of New Haven and Connecticut Colonies (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Family of William Leete, One of the First Settlers of Guilford, Conn., And Governor of New Haven and Connecticut Colonies

Little was known in this country respecting the antecedents of the Leete family (descendants of Wm. Leete) in America, until the recep tion here, quite recently, of an interesting volume, entitled The Family of Leete. This book was printed in London, in 1881, for private circulation, and was generously sent to public libraries in this country by Joseph Leete, Esq. Of Eversden, South Norwood Park, S. E. Surrey, England. To this book we are indebted for most that we know of the family history anterior to the emigration of Wm. Leete to this country in 1639.
