Andrew Leete BIRTH 1643 Guilford, New Haven County, Connecticut, USA DEATH 31 Oct 1702 (aged 58-59) Guilford, New Haven County, Connecticut, USA BURIAL Village Green Cemetery Guilford, New Haven County, Connecticut, USA MEMORIAL ID 161800031 · View Source MEMORIAL PHOTOS 0 FLOWERS 2 The following is from A History of the Plantation of Menunkatuck and of the Original Town of Guilford, Connecticut, by Ralph Dunning Smyth and Bernard Christian Steiner, 1897 edition, page 472. Andrew Leete, son of the Governor, possessed a liberal portion of the excellencies of his father. He was early appointed commissioner, or justice of the peace, and had principal concern in managing the affairs of the town. In 1677 he was elected an assistant in the colony, and was annually re-elected until his death, October 31, 1702. He is said to have had the principal agency in recovering the charter of the colony during the time Major Andross usurped the government, and to have kept it for a season in his house here. He appears to have been a man of infirm health, most of his life subject to fits of epilepsy, which impaired his usefulness. For a number of years he was one of the Justices of the County Court for new Haven County. He married a daughter of Thomas Jordan, Esq., one of the principal settlers, and after the return of his father-in-law to England about 1660, occupied his estate and dwelling house on the northwest corner of the Green. Supplied by his 8th great-grandson (4886444)
