the baptism record is not very clear, but seems to be "son of Thomas".
This record has been transcribed in jpl dent and the Word transcript as "son of James the younger", but I think this is wrong; jpl dent p61, B1018.

Agnes Leigh nee Haygarth, wife of Christopher Leigh, presently living at Spicegill / Broadmire. Agnes Haygarth (b1654) married John Mason (1639-1702) of Spicegill 10 Jul 1680. (Not sure of parentage of John Mason, possibly Thomas Mason (-1697) and Barbara Mason (-1697). Following John Mason's death, she married 1 Feb 1706 at Garsdale to Christopher Leigh of Bowland. Looks like Agnes was living at Broadmire, and the ownership of Broadmire would only pass to Richard Mason upon her death.
