LESLIE, John (Colonel ) ¹

  General Notes:

He is listed in a transcript of John Haynes Will as Capt. John Lesslie with the abbreviation of gdns after it suggesting to me that he was one of two persons named as a guardian for his children all of whom were under the age of 21. John Haynes' children were: Ann, Elizabeth, John and Richard. This Richard Haynes apparently died in 1696 and mentions friend, Colonel John Leslie, in his will along with another of my children's relatives, Major Christopher Estwicke. He was also the executor for his brother Charles in 1689 and his mother, Ann, in 1692. He apparently was not yet of rank when his father wrote his will in Nov of 1674. ²

John married Unknown COLLTON, daughter of Unknown COLLTON and Unknown.
