John Leete of Eversden, Cambridgeshire, was apparently born about 1500. In the Lay Subsidy (tax) of 1522, a John Leete was assessed at £6 for goods on the Kingston roll. It is possible that this was actually his father of the same, for John was quite young then; probably not yet married. On the other hand, if his father was then dead, then he, even tho a young man, might well have come into his estate and been subject to the tax. John Leete was taxed in the Subsidies of 1540 against Little Eversden, and in 1542 in Great Eversden. He was buried at Little Eversden on 25 December 1551.
