Subject: [PLY/MA] Who was David LEACH of Bridgewater?
Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2003 14:25:45 -0500

David LEACH and wife Hannah were the parents of seven children (Mercy, Hannah, Ephraim, Experience, David, Mehetabel, Abigail) born between 1693 and 1714 in Bridgewater. (Bridgewater VRs)
Who were David Leach's parents? When did he die?

According to _History of the Early Settlement of Bridgewater_ by Nahum Mitchell, he was the son of Giles LEACH of Weymouth. Several other secondary sources give Giles as a son of the immigrant Lawrence LEACH of Salem; however, Robert Charles Anderson's The Great Migration Begins, vol. II, gives Lawrence Leach a daughter, Rachel, and and three sons, Robert, John and Richard. No Giles.

I've searched the NEHGS web site databases and found nothing that links David Leach to parents.

Is anyone else reasearching this line? (I'm especially interested in David's daughter Mercy, b. 1693.)
