    From the Find-A-Grave page of Jane's husband, John Leak:

    John Leek's neighbor on Broad River and likely father in law to his first wife, Henry Smith (c.1726-1792) was from Botetourt County as well. One possible explanation for Leek's marriage in Botetourt is that he had met Henry Smith after Smith migrated into Mecklenburg County, North Carolina in 1765. Henry's parents and several other family members were still in Botetourt County, Virginia as late as the 1780s, so the Leeks may have had a destination wedding so more of the Smith family could attend. Henry Smith later established Smith's Ford on Broad River, just a mile east of Leek's 1791 grant near Abingdon Creek.

    Leek was evidently married three times, Jane Smith (b. Rockingham Co., Virginia c.1757) being his first wife and likely mother to his known children. A Union County court record of Nov. 22, 1794 names John's wife as "Sarah Leek." (Book D, pg. 65-66), whom we know from an aforementioned deed to be Sarah Mills. Some years later he evidently married a third time; "Elizabeth, wife of John Leek", renounced her dower in a land sale on Jan. 5, 1819 and is named in his estate inventory in 1829. She may have been a Petty, according to a tradition in the Peeler family.
