Notes:

I noticed in church yesterday that the St John stained glass window is in memorial of George L (Apr 18, 1806 - Aug 10, 1838) and George D. Leaf (Jun 5, 1829 - Dec 3, 1872). There are additional records I can check, in particular marriage
records. I think a Leaf was a past rector of the church. I am out of town right now so will check when I get home.
