It should be noted that while Dr. Preston Leake has been a very active researcher of the Leake family his recently published work on these findings is flawed and in some cases wrong. His scholarly intent in publishing this work was not matched by his ability to fully vet many details, facts, or attribution. He is certainly a nice man but one would be advised to use caution in citing his work. I have corresponded directly with him on several matters and he has no intention of issuing any corrections or succeeding corrected editions.
