Peggy (or anyone) -- In cleaning out files I found a query from 2003 on a LEFFLER message
board. It concerns an Emma Elizabeth LEFFLER who married William Harrison KIZER in
Blackford County in 1892. There were three children: Nora M., Edith Belle, and W. Ira all
born in the 1890's. On a public tree on
Ancestry.com it says that Emma Elizabeth died
in 1901 in Blackford County. I found the family in the 1900 census in Washington Twp.
With the family was her father listed as John A.J. LEFLER born Jul 1827. In the 1880
census (the only other one in which Emma would have appeared) I found an Emily E., niece
(age 6), and John, brother (age54), living with Daniel LEFFLER, Elizabeth (his wife) and
their family in Washington Twp. I have had no luck at this time finding John in the 1860
or 1870 census. I did find a John and Barbara in the 1850 census who I take to be John
LEFFLER and Barbara ZENT. Could they be the parents of Emma Elizabeth?? The problem is
that Daniel did no!
t belong to this John's family, he was a cousin if I have things right. (Why did
they use the same names over and over!!) The John I think is the father of Emma E. married
a BENTLEY according to information I have found, but I have no first name. This couple
may have had a son, John Adam, no dates known. Can anyone help with this one??
