I have a Jacob Leffler on the 1850 Blackford Co. IN census as follows:

(Clarence is a son of Joseph Leffler and Nancy Palmer. Clarence married Myrtle A. White 2
Mar 1901. Mrytle is found on the 1930 census in Marion, Grant County listed as
"D")
Isaih Leffler ??-??-1826 - ??-??-1863 (37y)
(I can't connect him to the Leffler family in Blackford County)
Joseph Leffler (son of Jacob Leffler and Salomia Balsey) ??-??-1837 - 5-Dec-1913 (76y)
Leffler Nancy J. w/o Joseph ??-??-1850 - ??-??-1929 (79y)
Do you know how Jacob Leffler fits into the Leffler family in Blackford County.
I have looked at some of you other queries and I find a George W. Leffler married to
Elizabeth Fry. (Elizabeth is the daughter of Jacob FOy and Elizabeth Hess.) I beleive that
is Elizabeth Foy. There is a small cemetery in Blackford County named the Leffler
cemetery. I think there are 5 or 6 gravesites which were documented by Cecil Beeson many
years ago. George and Elizabeth are buried there. However, a couple of years ago, most
of the stones have slipped below ground.
I have posted and extract from Jacob Foy's will on this board, but one item is
6th I will & bequeath to my daughter Elizabeth Leffler The sum of ten dollars in full
for her share out of my Estate
