I was orphaned at age 2 and was 28 before I learned of my father and family. My father, James L. Greenleaf, died prematurely because of exposure to atomic radiation at Nagasaki, Japan, before he was brought home from the war. When I was in my 30's I was able to speak to my uncle, father's brother, Harry B. Greenleaf, on the telephone twice. He spoke to me of my inheritance, and he mailed me a handwritten list of our forefathers back to Edmund of Suffolk and John of Ipswich. In this document there were also descriptions of each son down to my grandfather, Henry B. Greenleaf, some of their accomplishments, and other personal data about them. He and the document were very specific that we are Huguenots, and the French name from which we descend is Fhillevert. We need to search France for the father of Stephen Greenleaf born in Ipswich, England. He was a Frenchman.
