A descendant of Samuel Leigh is of haplogroup I1 and is grouped under Randaulph Lee in the Lee DNA Genealogy Project at ancestry.com The descendant is the same person who is believed to have the same Y-DNA marker values as Ralph Leigh, the earliest known Leigh of this line. The descendant of Samuel Leigh was tested by Ancestry as well as by FamilyTree.
The line going from this descendant to Ralph Leigh in Wales has been proven and is documented in the welshleigh site. The connection from Ralph Leigh in Wales to Ralph Leigh or his ancestors in England has not be identified, and we hope Y-DNA testing will give clues about when and where this change in location occurred.
