Thanks to John for the following observation regarding this information:
if we calculate each generation (birth to marriage) equaling 20 years, then
If Thomas Leeds, Sr. was born in 1612
Then Son William was born about 1632
If William was born in 1632
Then Son Thomas was born in 1652
If Thomas was born in 1652
Where did Daniel (1652-1720) come from?
However, to get Daniel using your set, each generation must equal 13.3 years:
If Thomas Leeds, Sr. was born in 1612
Then Son William was born about 1625.3 (13.3 years later)
If William was born in 1625.3
Then Son Thomas was born in 1638.6 (13.3 years later)
If Thomas was born in 1638.6
Then Daniel was born in 1651.9 (13.3 years later)
This still doesn't work.
