_Leman Family._--About the middle of the seventeenth century, say 1650 to
1670, two gentlemen left England for America, who are supposed to have
been brothers or near relatives of Sir John Leman, who was Lord Mayor
of London in 1616. Traditions, which have been preserved in manuscript,
and which can be traced back over one {151} hundred years, tell of a
correspondence which took place between the said Sir John and the widow
of one of the brothers, in relation to her returning to England.
The writer of this (a descendant of one of these gentlemen) is anxious to
learn _the names of the brothers and near relatives of this Sir John_;
and whether any evidence exists of their leaving England for America,
&c., &c.; and would feel much indebted to any one who would supply the
information through your paper.
