[Loren Family.ged]
GRANT from John Gray of Ouenston to John Leek, esq., John Acres, clerk, and Nicholas de Lowe, of lands in Ouenston; rent, a red rose at F. of St John Bapt. [24 June]. Witn. Will Cook, Thos. Maynard, Roger Curteys, etc. Dat. F. of St John B. [24 June], 6 Hen: V. [1418]. (Woll. viii. 47.)
Probably received Langford as dower when he married Alice. Langford is a confirmed holding of Alice's great-grandfather, John 1st Lord Grey of Unstone.
Need to confirm.
I don't find any Leekes previously holding Langford among their extensive properties.
