Charles Wesley Leffingwell

Charles Wesley Leffingwell (December 5, 1840 – October 10, 1928) was an American author, educator, and Episcopal priest.

He later studied at Nashotah House Theological Seminary before ordination to the diaconate (1867) and priesthood (1868).

From 1906, he was President of the Leffingwell Rancho in Whittier, California, the land for which he had acquired earlier.

His other son, Ernest de Koven Leffingwell was an arctic explorer and geologist.

Leffingwell moved to Pasadena, California (of which Herringshaw's lists him as a founder) in 1908.
