First of all, it appears from various records that he did keep the "e".
I got this note:
A recent find - Just wanted to update you to Benjamin Leete, who was descendant of William Leete of New Haven and cousin to James Leete. He is buried in Hillside Cemetery in Reno. There are current plans by the owner of the cemetery to dig up the graves and move them to another lot, perhaps in a mass burial.

The history of the Leetes in NV is an interesting one and involves some major branches of the Leete tree in North America. This means both US and Canadian citizens of Leete descent. Please, everyone individually, go to this page http://hcpfoundation.squarespace.com/call-to-action/ and respond.
I have accumulated a lot of info on the Leetes of Nevada with the intent of publishing an ebook on the Leet(e)s of Nevada and California. It is a true epic of family history. Unfortunately, I have multiple responsibilities and haven't had time to polish, assemble, and vet the material. Anyone that wants to help, please let me know. It seems rather urgent that something gets done so that we can demonstrate to the elites and powers-that-be the importance to our family of this cemetery. I'll add some more info later.
