My Doreys originated in Jersey, a Channel Island; the earliest known are from 1690. Philip Cyrus Dorey, my great-great-grandfather, married Margaret Leete in 1829 in Arichat, Nova Scotia. Margaret was a descendant of William Logan Leete, who was a descendant of William the Lion, King of Scotland 1165–1214. This page holds my ancestors from Margaret Leete to William the Lion.
Apparently Leete, through his mother, Anna Shute, was also descended from Charlemagne. The International Society of the Descendants of Charlemagne claim Leete is a "gateway ancestor." Charlemagne was Charles I "The Great" (747–814) King of France, 768–814.
This is the familial relationship between William Logan Leete and his great-great-great-grandaughter Margaret Leete, wife of Philip Cyrus Dorey.
