My name is Bob Pickering & I am researching one of the Leighton Families in the UK - as far as I have been able to go (early 1700's) they came from North East England (Northumberland & County Durham) but there are other Leightons in Scotland, in North West and in Leighton Buzzard - the latter obviously named from the town!
My Leightons have a given name of Orren (Oren or Orin) usually passed down over at least 200 years and usually prefixed by Ralph.
Now there appear to be quite a lot of Leightons with this given name in Massachusetts and I am just wondering if there is any connection with yours. Most of them were also Master Mariners
Hope we can connect or that you have any info
on the others in your State
Regards
