      Grave
      His grave was washed out to sea.

      Know ye That the First accounts we have
      Know ye That the First accounts we have of the Family ofLeamings are that Christopher and Jeremiah Leamyeng werebrothers and Englishmen but who were their progenitors, whatcircumstances they were in or what part of England theyinhabited are incidents that have not been transmitted to theirposterity. In all probability it was about the year 1670 theyleft Britain to Seek their Fortunes in this then new world. Incoming over sea Jeremiah was much troubled with Sea sicknessand being attacked at the same time with a bleeding of the nosethe conjunct disorders ended his Life; and left his brother theonly man of the name to begin a new family in a new world.Christopher Leamyeng Landed in Some parts of New England near orat Boston. From Some Circumstances and the best accounts we canobtain it was about the year 1674 that he married to EstherBurnett, daughter of Aaron Burnet , her Father gave her a Tractof Land at Sag near East Hampton which to this time I aminformed goes by the name of Leamings Lot or Leamings corner.There he lived till about the year 1691 and then leaving hisfamily at Long Island he came himself to Cape May which at thattime was a new Country & beginning to Settle very fast andseemed to promise good advantages to the adventurers. Here hewent a whaling in the proper Seasons and at other times workedat the Coopers trade which was his occupation and good at thetime by reason the great Number of whales caught in those daysmade the demand and pay for Casks certain. The 9th of April1696 He caused to be surveyed for himself 204 acres of land seethis Vol. p. 93 [i.e. Aaron Leamings Book of Surveys] which wasafterwards purchased by his son Thomas Leamyeng and whereon hespent and ended his Life: And is now the estate of ChristopherLeaming, a minor, and Great Grandson to the founder of thefamily. Christopher Leaming died of Pleuresie at Cape May aboutthe year 1697 or 1697 aged 48 years as the reputation is: Butindeed I think the time of his Birth, Marriage and Death areuncertain.This diary entry has singular error, that Hester (Esther)Burnet's father was Aaron Burnet. He was actually her brother,her father was Thomas Burnet.


      Taken from old Family Group Sheet:
      Christopher Leaming first went by the name of Leamyeng. He left England about 1670, and landed in or near Boston.
