Leigh-663 and Leigh-208 appear to represent the same person because: Both represent Thomas Leigh of Stoneleigh, despite the variation in dates. No reliable sources can be found for the dates on Leigh-663 so the dates on Leigh-208 can be used.

Please provide the source for this information, no records for the father indicate a son named Richard. The trees at Family Search do not have sources, either.
