Notes - The Leete family is an ancient one, traced back to before the Norman conquest of England. Leit is described in the Doomsday Book as a thane (a rank of nobility in pre-Norman England, roughly equivalent to baron) of the Anglo-Saxon, Edward the Confessor, King of England from 1042 until his death 5 Jan 1056/66. The manor of Foxcote in Buckinghamshire, worth £3 annually, is mentioned as being formerly held by Leit.
The Eversden branch of the Leete family embraces the names of the known descendants of John Leete, of Eversden, Cambridgeshire whose name stands at the head of the family pedigree, recorded by the Heralds in their Visitation of Cambridgeshire in 1575, and again in 1619. From this John of Eversden also descend the Leetes of Suffolk, whose pedigree is recorded in the Visitation of Suffolk in 1612.
