As others have stated, there are no less than twenty coat of arms for different branches and spellings of LEIGH.The problem one is conforted with in seeking the origin of a name or a coat of arms, is knowing which branch of LEIGH'S you reference.In England alone you shall find many branches, each with a different lineage. All libraries with a good history/genealogy department will have reference books on various coats of arms and of the different LEIGH lineages.There were three different influxes of LEIGH'S into the colonies in the 1630's, VA, MA, and ME.
