Tris,
I don't think James Leigh from Perquimans is Whitmill's father unless it was an out of wedlock or slave relationship.James was quite a well positioned and would not have sent his son off to Tennessee with a non relative.Because of some papers in the administrations of Leighs from Edgecombe Co., sons of Francis Leigh of Norfolk Co., namely Whitmill Bell was administrator for 2 sons of Franics' sons (John and Francis),I think the connection may have bee with that family.DNA testing shows that family and James's family and Whitmill's family all match on a 25 point match.
