The baptisms of the First Church of New London for the Leeds name are not conclusive as to connection and might indicate only four children. There is a large gap in the baptisms of those named Leeds. There was a long period when baptisms were not given. There was no minister between late 1683 to late 1691. Hope this helps some. This is all I have on this branch. My line of descent is through Joseph Latham, brother of Elizabeth.
