Now, regarding the descendants of Francis Leake, I don’t see that anyone from this line has submitted a kit to FTDNA.  There are people researching this family who have posted family groups on Ancestry.  One of them is the following tree.  I point it out as an example because although spotty, with incomplete family groups, it contains excerpts from a book that may help in identifying how and where they settled after immigrating from England.
