Narrative
Following information from "World Family Tree".
In 1658 Ralph Leftwich patented land on the branches of the Pianketank River "Said land being due for the transportation of six persons into this colony." This patent was renewed to Leftwich Oct 1666 (300 acres in New Kent Co., Virginia) Arms borne by descendents of Augustine Leftwich are the same as those of Leftwich, county of Cheshire (See the General Armory). (See arms borne by Augustine Lertwich, Sr.)
Ralph Leftwich's tie to our ancestor, Augustine Leftwich, Sr. is tenuous and not conclusive, but there are strong probabilities that he was the father of Thomas who was probably the father of Augustine, Sr. The arms borne by Augustine Leftwich's descendents are the same as in county Leftwich, England where Ralph originated.
