By Edward L. Leete

2nd edition 

This book provides a history and genealogy on the Leete family. The focus is on the family of William Leete, who emigrated to America in 1639, as one of the first settlers of, and founder of, Guilford, CT. He was President of the Federation of Colonies, and governor of New Haven and Connecticut Colonies. His commitment to justice and his pivotal role in shielding the Connecticut charter from British authorities during a turbulent period are explored in detail. We see the challenges and triumphs faced by early settlers, shedding light on their contributions to shaping American society. It delves into the rich history of the Leete family, tracing their lineage back to 13th-century England and following their journey to America in the 17th century. *Note 1st edition by the same author, 168 p.
