Although you didn't direct your message specifically to me, I have some info to offer. This would be a good topic to take to private messaging and email, but both of us are new to RootsChat and will need to make a couple more posts before we can access this board's private messaging. In the meantime here's a bit more.
Neither of your GGF Leo's two brothers-- Father Nunzio and Frank--had children, so the Defoe name from this lineage is carried only in Leo's line, as you noted. I had met Father Nunzio and I knew Frank reasonably well. I can also tell you that several of Leo's cousins are still alive and some of them are very interested in family history. I am not a Defoe, but you and I are related through one of Leo's cousins.
