== Biography == John was born in Armagh, Northern Ireland in 1739. In 1748. At age nine, he sailed with his family from Londonderry (ship not known) (saw one source listed the Amsterdam: have not been able to find), landing in Pennsylvania. His parents and three siblings died during the voyage. His sister [[Leech-174 | Agnes]] also lived and later married [[Lackey-313 | Thomas Lackey]], whose family also sailed on that ship. Thomas Lackey is also a Revolutionary War patriot. John married [[McComb-93 | Martha McComb]] in Pennsylvania and they later moved to newly formed Rockbridge county, Virginia in 1778. They had eight children: Nathan, (who died young), David, John, Thomas, [[Leech-892 | James]], Agnes, Eleanor, and [[Leech-173 | Martha]]. He married second, Jean Holeman. John is a DAR patriot. He died in February 1820 and was buried at the Oxford Presbyterian Cemetery in Collierstown, VA. His will proved in August of 1821.
== Research Notes ==
:: Arrival records to Rockbridge County, 1778 by Morton
:: Land and tax supply records for Pennsylvania and Virginia:: Militia records archives: Pennsylvania listed as having signed up , but indicated as having moved before being called up.
:: The House of Ochiltree book p 306
:: The Cabells and Their Kin
:: Census records Federal while living in Virginia:: DAR records site military records of having been assigned but did not serve in Pa. I can find no records of him having served in Va. There was another John Leech who served in Va, but does not match his data.:: Will of John Leech (copy in the possession of [[Leech-175 | Hart Wallace]]):: Church records of Old Oxford Presbyterian Church, (see Angela Ruley's records of cemeteries in Rockbridge County, VA).I was told by Don Leech, a son of Ellsworth Leech, a descendent of John Sr. that John's family owned a pub in Ireland, so they had money. Cannot confirm this. Don recently passed away, lived in Lexington Va.
