I suppose I’m a descendant cousin of sorts.
John Leakey, the eponymous “Granddad” of his grandson’s book, was my maternal grandmother’s great-grandfather through his daughter, Fannie Leakey Johnson. I don’t have a lot of Leakey family information, but I’ll be glad to help with what I can. Incidentally, I’ve never seen a copy of “Granddad and I,” but my grandmother has a copy of Leakey’s 2nd book, "The West That Was: From Texas to Montana," by John Leakey, as told to Nellie Snyder Yost (SMU Press, Dallas, 1958). There’s also a chapter devoted to John Leakey (the elder) in A. J. Sowell’s book, "Early Settlers and Indian Fighters of Southwest Texas" (State House Press, Austin, 1986).
Hope I can help,
Susan Barrett Smith
