Leach Family
Copyright by Mcclure Syndicate,
By FRANCIS cowLEs

The Leach family goes back, in
England, to the time Of King Edward
III, who ruled from 1927 to 1877. Dur
ing his reign there were three visi'
tations in England Of the dreaded
plague then called the "Black Death,
and a good physician, or surgeon, as
he was then called, was worth his
weight in gold.
There was such surgeon In the
Kings household, and his name was
John LIE Leche or Leach. Perhaps,
as the first form Of the name suggests,
the family came from France, for
King Edwards mother was q French
woman. Anyway, the name Leach
was derived from the leech then so
much used in medicine, and consid'
cred practically a cure-all, the symbol.
ism Of health, and, therefore, a good
name for physician.
The king was very fond Of his sur
geon, and there is a quaint story told
in connection with the arms borne by
Edward Leach and his descendants.
Owing to his mothers French birth,
King Edward thought that he deserved
the throne Of France, and he fought
many battles with the French king
before he was persuaded otherwise.
He also fought with the Scotch under
David Bruce, although he did not sue
coed in conquering them permanently.
But at one time the kings Of France
and Scotland were both prisoners in
Edwards hands, so the story goes.
And, Of course as they were kings,
they could not be treated as ordinary
prisoners, and Edward used to do his
best to entertain them. One day he
took them to dinner at the house Of
his favored surgeon, who wined and
dined them to their hearts content.
All three kings were much pleased
with the feast which Leach provided,
and as they were leaving him-all this
according to tradition-each king
gave him a small crown.
Later Edward granted a large land
ed estate to John Leach, and arms
as well. and as you may see In the

Some three hundred years later
Lawrence Leach, a direct lineal de-
scendant Of this surgeon to royalty,
decided to come with his wife EliE-
abeth, and his sons Robert and John.
to America. He was a friend Of John
Winthrop, who had not then come to
the New World, but who later was
governor Of Massachusetts Bay Col
ony. A little while before Leach and
his family sailed from England Win
throp wrote as follows concerning him
In letter to Endicott, then governor
Of the colony:
1--WE desire you to take notice Of
one Lawrence Leach, whom we have
found q careful and painsful man, and
we doubt not he win continue his dill
igence."
With this introduction to the col
ony, Lawrence Leach and his family
arrived here in 1929, and for 33 years
Lawrence showed that he was worthy
the description to Winthrop's letter.
He went into farming and milling.
and became q planter on a large scale.
His mills were where Beverly-at
present noted as President Taft's sum-
mer home-noW stands, and they were
considered Of q great importance to
the community that many surround
ing towns had roads especially opened
to the mill. Lawrence Leach served
as one Of the u jurymen, in 1880, IN
the FIRST trial Of capital case In Bos-
ton. and for several terms he repre-
scented Salem in the legislature.
Lawrence left two sons in England

Robert, one Of the sons who came
here with his father, was one Of the
founders Of Manchester, Mass. Sew

ing men. and their rowing lives led
them into adventure and excitement
One Of them. Richard, was at Carta'
gena when the British took the town
in 1706; and his son BENJAMIN was
at Lisbon when the great earthquake
Of 1745 killed about 10000 persons.
Benjamin's son Ezra was In the army,
and then lieutenant In the navy in
the revolutionary war. A later mem
Der Of the same branch Of the family
was a well known physician-an e.
pecially appropriate vocation for a
descendant Of John Leach.
Lawrence had another son, Giles,
born after his parents reached this
country. It is estimated that he has
descendants to the number Of 10000
and over.
Giles was born at Salem. He mar
ried Ann Nokes Of Weymouth, and in
1864 settled at BrIdgewater. There
he purchased one Of the IS shares Of

There were a--few other early
teaches in this country, but most of
the great family here is sprung from
the single forefather, Lawrence. The
favorite Christian names among the
teaches have been Hanna, Susanna,
Nokes, Joseph, Giles, Ann, Sarah and
David. The only Leach registered as
an officer Of the Continental army in
the revolution is Simon, Of Massachu-

Riker, County Counsel Joseph L. Mum
and Supervisor Baldwin, and they met
in accordance with their resolution of
last week to hear the report on the
certiorari proceedings. This was set
forth in a documentary way by Mr..
Riker, Who presented the papers show
ing the granting of the writ. which
will be argued during the February
term of the Supreme Court.
The ground on which the review is
allowed is that he chief justice held
that it was a question whether the
Legislature in framing the supervisor
act and allowing that official to sit in
judgment on officers of the county in
situations against whom charges have
been made intended to take away that
right from the Board of Freeholders.
When the investigation into the az
fairs of the asylum is resumed by the
grand jury tomorrow, and it is expected
to cover only one day during the week,
owing to the pressure of criminal busi-
ness, Mrs. Francesca Hinkel, whose
story of alleged brutality on the part
of Miss Grace Brush towards Mrs.
Catharine Lindner, has been repeatedly
told, will be asked to tell ii once more.
Miss Brush has been also subpoenaed
to appear and give her side of the story,
while Abram Hirsch, the junk dealer,
who has also been quoted in cases of
alleged brutality on the part of attend
ants and nurses, is expected to add fuel
to the fire of investigation.
A mar named Thaler, a former in
mate of the asylum, is also expected to
be called.
