Message Board Post:
Thank you for looking/finding your will records on Leach. I really appreciate your help.
Yours is the first proof I've seen showing Francis A Leach is son of Joshua D Leach
& Margaret Gobens. Summarizing this data, and adding a bit from Ancestry the family
appears to be as follows: Joshua D Leach b.19 Sep 1788 Calvert Co, MD d.1868 Frankfort,
Clinton Co IN m.(1)6 Aug 1812 Frederick Co VA Margaret Gobens b. 1795 Frederick Co VA d.
____Butler Co OH. Their children (order of precedence taken from will until birthdates
found to prove otherwise):
1-John Leach (living in IN 1878)
2-Abel Wilkinson Leach b.2 Jun 1814 Frederick Co VA (in Guthrie Co IA 1878) d.23 May 1889
Beaver City Furnas Co NE m. Sarah Powell
3-James G Leach
4-Francis A Leach b.1 Nov 1823 Butler Co OH d.9 June 1903 Weatherford, Parker Co TX m.
Elizabeth Meneely
5-Joshua Leach
6-Eunice Leach
7-Hester Ann Leach
8-Margaret Leach
(you mention 2 sisters passed away bef1878--2 additional sisters?)
JD Leach m.(2)____Franklin Co IN (adjacent to Butler Co OH) Ann Brookie b.abt1800 NY
d.1878 Frankfort, Clinton Co IN
Do you wish to have my data on Francis A Leach & family, descendants with sources?
Francis was a Confederate in CW, mayor of Weatherford, TX, etc. I'll be happy to put
this together for you. It will be easier if you give me your email address so I can simply
provide attachments to an email message to you. Also, I dug into what I could find on
Leach's including Abel Wilkinson Leach/Sarah Powell & daughter Priscilla Leach who
m. William Ellsworth Williams. I followed the Williams' pedigree in family tree posted
at
Ancestry.com out of curiosity & found it goes back to William Ap Yevan 1443-1468 of
Wales m. Joan TUDOR b.1453 Snowden, Wales [TUDOR is the Royal Family: 5 Kings of England.
If you don't already have this, look for the Barnes-Coppock-Haworth family tree by
`doublebbarranch' at Ancestry. Do you have Leach ancestors further back from Joshua D
Leach/(1)M Gobens, (2)A Brookie? Can we exchange emails on this? Did you by chance gather
info on the Maneely Family: Elizabeth !
Meneely m. Francis A Leach, her parents were John C Meneely b.1788 Ireland m. Isabella
Cunningham; he is connected to the semi-famous Andrew Meneely maker of Church Bells of
Troy, NY--the Meneely's connect to the Irish Clan of Meneely--? I can give you what
I've found so far on this Meneely connection with Leach--by email. Here's my email
again: f.kindel(a)comcast.net Reading your message again, I see your question about Ann
(Brookie). I noticed that 1860 census Frankfort, Clinton Co IN has "Joshua Leach 71
MD, Ann 60 NY, & James Brookie 71 KY"=clue her maiden name was Brookie if
that's her father.
FamilySearch.org has: James D Brookie b.1789 Fayette KY d.22 May
1868; parents: John Brookie 1750 Scotland m.23 Dec 1778 Mercersburg Cumberland PA to Mary
McElhatton (perhaps Ann Brookie's parents/grparents).
Thank you again. -- Fred
