One of two surviving sons of John Grosvenor, who had been one of the six original large landowners in this corner of Windham County, Connecticut. Leicester was chosen as one of the first selectmen when Pomfret became a town in 1714, and he was elected to that office for one-year terms 19 times. He also rose to the elected rank of Captain in the local militia and held numerous other local offices of responsibility. Dr. Dayton believes that Leicester's homestead was upon the hill that rises beyond the tiny Pomfret village center (with the meetinghouse), at a distance of a "vigorous walk from the church," as the town's historian puts it.
He married (1) MARY HUBBARD January 16, 1711/12 in Woodstock, Windham, Conn., daughter of JOHN HUBBARD and REBECCA. He married (2) REBECCA WALDO February 12, 1728/29 in Pomfret, Windham, Conn., daughter of DANIEL WALDO and SUSANNA ADAMS.
