There has never been a positive connection made between Thomas Leighton, who arrived here in 1633, and any specific Leighton family back in Scotland.The family lore has him being the son of Dr. Alexander Leighton of the University of Edinborough, but there is no evidence to support that claim.Thomas was illiterate, an unlikely condition for one of Alexander's sons.
