    • Son and Heir

      See Visitations of Cornwall 1620, Vivian, p 284, LEIGH or ALEIGH, alias LEIGH of LEIGH.

      The first 3 generations of this pedigree is a copy of the Original Visitation of Cornwall 1620,, Harl. MS 1162, signed William Aleigh. This appears to have been a branch of the familiy of Leigh, or Legh, of the East Hall in Highleigh, Cheshire. The arms are identical, but the Editor has been unable to trace the connection In Week St. Mary registers the name is spelt indiscriminately Aleigh, Alleigh, Alee, and Leigh, but since 1700 it has been always Leigh. In January, 1694, Walter Leigh was a party with others to an arrangement for a survey of the parish boundaries to Whitstone.
