Hi, Vi,
I too have seen this 'middle' name attached to William Leete and probably from the same source that you have seen. I have questioned the author about this and have never received an answer of any kind.I tend to agree with you concerning naming individuals..England was not that far away from her 'Catholic' roots at the time and tended to continue the traditions associated with the church in Rome. I think that names added would have been those of the saints and although I could certainly be wrong, I have not yet found a 'St. Logan'. I am sure that baptismal records do exist for William Leete..it is a matter of having someone locate it for us.
I am doing all that I can to help in your efforts to correct the Andrew Leete, Esther Blatchley,Submit Doud mis-information that has held on for so long. I have scanned all of the information that you sent to me last year so it anyone needs or wants it I can send it for you.
