Sources: Records submitted to the archives of the LDS Church give two middle names for David Leigh. The LDS Ancestral File gives Edward as David Leigh's middle name. However, members of the Leigh family knew David as David Edmund Leigh, and that name is used in this family group record. Fayne Leigh Mcatee, a grand daughter of David Leigh, stated that her mother provided the information for the death certificate of David Leigh and that her mother made a few errors. Most of the errors were corrected before the death was registered, but Fayne said her mother "must have over-looked the error in her Dad's middle name."

Source Note: Christening dates are from the Bishop's Transcripts for Llanedi parish church (Film no. 105162) and Llanelli parish church (Film no.105163, 105164). The records of the Mormon community in Llanelli list Daniel, wife Ann, and son John as members in 1848 (Film no. 104169). Also, Ronald D. Dennis gives the Ship's List of the Buena Vista with the names of Daniel age 35, Ann age 28, John age 11, Daniel age 9, Mary age 4, and Ann age 11 months (Dennis, The Call of Zion, Appendix B)
