I went to an estate sale in Sun City Center, Fl. I just spotted the pictures. As I said, they are realy old. I have done this before---reunited postcards and letters with family. I bought the pictures for $2 each. There was an entire box of postcards but I left them. I had contacted several people with the Shelar name, but none of them were too interested. The wedding picture of Grace's parents are among them---Mamie Elizabeth Sheler and Warren Clark (parents of Grace Elizabeth. There is also a picture of Sadie Sheler, mother of Mamie. Is this your direct line? My email address is linda.c.peterson@verizon.net

I am correcting Louana's last name. I assumed it was Bell because that's what was on one of her son's social security application. But I now have her death certificate and it says her father was Jos Musgrave and Elizabeth Hubbard

Julie, I just found a marriage record for Gazaway Leasure! He married Matilda Watkins on 15 Mar 1809 in Montgomery Co MD. His name in the record is spelled "Gassoway Lyshear." They appear in the 1820 census in Montgomery Co MD with three sons under age 10 and one daughter under age 10 and one daughter between 10-16. I am still trying to find out if Gazaway is the father of my Ephraim Leasure. How is your research coming along?

See it became Penn Township in Feb 23, 1855 and before that it was Franklin Township, Westmoreland County,PA and their oldest son was William L.(Leasure) Dougherty born in 1831 in MillGrove,PA and married to Mary Margaret McWilliams born in 1838 and William L.

Could you please send me any info or pictures that you may have on her and on the John Daugherty(Dougherty) side we think his father was William and he had a brother John and John had a brother William but its an educated guess.

My grandfather's name is George Leasure, descendant of the Abraham Leasure in your lineage. I am also descendant of Daniel Leasure, Civil War Colonel, whose info can be found on wikipedia.com. It said something about Abraham being from Switzerland near the French border. My grandparents always told me we were part French.

If you put in Catherine Leasure and use the pedigree view you can see what I have found. The Leasures all seemed related to Bowsers and Hooks by marriage.
I also have a few books that are helpful as well. One was published in 1914 dealing with Armstrong county. I do not know if anything I have will help but I hope it does. please let me know. If you would like an invitation to my pages send me your email to martakester@sbcglobal.net

My great-grandfather was Abraham Leasure. He was a teacher and had beautiful handwriting and was a fine figure of a man atop a white horse wearing a black cloak. I know little of him. I know that he had at least two sons Will Leasure and Harry Greenberry Leasure. My dad was Lloyd George Leasure son of Harry Greenberry Leasure. Lloyd George Leasure was born near Providence/Judsonia, Arkansas in White County Arkansas.

Re: leasures, from france to VA, WVA and finally into OH

jvleasure — 2008-12-27 02:08:05Z

seems pretty likely that he may have, considering how many leasures are from that area. i have a copy of his will dated august 23, 1823. in it, he refers to his wife as "molly," however, in the next document from about 1855, she is referred to as mary.

in the will, it says that abraham's wife is to inherit the whole estate, and when she dies or remarries, it is to be divided among the three youngest sons. The second document is from the court proceedings when my great great great grandpa had the farm ceded to him (being the last surviving of the three youngest sons). The same document mentions letters issued to mary/molly dated September6, 1823 as executrix of abraham's estate, which narrows it down quite a bit.

most of the abraham's i receive hints about, or see in searches on here died in PA as well, often westmoreland county. i doubt that my Abe would have went on back home with such a large family here in ohio, but i suppose it is possible.

I haven't found a birthdate yet that i know of, but his death was between 8/23/1823 and 9/6/1823.

from the transcript of the will, i feel pretty confident about all of his children's names, and from the next court document, i can piece together all of the daughters' married names. i also have his son george's will, but haven't read through it yet for names. everything is pretty solid in the generations AFTER abraham, but i can't connect him to any others that i have seen on here.

Re: leasures, from france to VA, WVA and finally into OH

jvleasure — 2008-12-25 05:54:19Z

Hi, not much more info from this point on. My Abraham's last name is spelled "Lozer" in the 1820 census, and I am pretty sure he died before 1830, 0r at least 1840 for sure. According to the 1850 census, if memory serves, his widow's name was Mary, who was living with she and Abe's son George (My great-great-great grandpa) whose name is listed as Lasure. I can possibly scrape together more information on George's siblings tomorrow at Christmas dinner if it'd get anywhere.

I wonder when the first Abraham left France, exactly? There are a ton of them out there, maybe he was my Abraham's grandpa.

Leslie,
The only info that I've found is that Denton is supposedly buried in Round Lake Cemetery, In. Marriage record of 6 Oct. 1867, Logan County. Hope any of this helps. I'd love to see any info that you have. I still have no info on Gazaway's wife.
Thanks,

Re: Gazaway Leasure, Denton Leasure, Ephraim Leasure

lewisparr — 2008-11-27 19:34:51Z

Julie, I am posting my reply to you so that others might see it and hopefully we can make a connection. I have not been able to find the name of Gazaway's wife, either. In fact, I was hoping to find his will or probate record, but no luck yet. I wrote to both Fayette Co PA (where his family lived for a while) and Fayette Co OH, where Gazaway is buried--supposedly he died there while visiting his son
John. Neither county had a will or probate info on file for Gazaway Leasure. Do you know where Denton Leasure died and is buried? Have not found his cemetery record so far. I am hoping to confirm that my ancestor Ephraim is brother of Denton. Ephraim was born about 1813 in MD. In the 1850 census for Logan Co OH, he was living in the household of Margaret Ann Hamilton, also born in MD as were all the older siblings in Gazaway Leasure's family. Denton was born in PA after they left MD.
Any info on the family of Denton or Gazaway appreciated. Would love any obituaries, photos, etc. What I have is pretty sketchy. I think the Leasure family got pretty spread out and lost touch with each other.
Thanks for your help. My line is through Eva Crouch, daughter of my 2gr-grandparents: John Perry Crouch and Margaret A. Leasure. Margaret is d/o Ephraim Leasure and Eliza Jane Young (Denton Leasure's first wife Margaret A. Young was a sister of Eliza. The Young sisters were born in Beaver Co PA and moved with their parents, Samuel R. Young and Ann (Wylie) Young to Logan Co OH, where the Youngs met the Leasures. Ephraim and Eliza lived near Denton and
Margaret in Kane Co IL in the 1850s. The two families were next door to each other on the 1860 census in Washington Co IA, but by then Ephraim was not shown. Did he die prior to 1860? Were they divorced? I can send you copies of the census records if you do not have them.
Thanks so much for any help.

I am still seeking info on Ephraim Leasure, who is POSSIBLY a son of Gazaway Leasure... no proof yet. Ephraim was born ca. 1813 in MD, lived in Logan Co OH by 1850, where he married Eliza Jane Young in October of 1850. They moved to Kane Co, IL, where they had four children. No sign of Ephraim by 1860 when Eliza and the four kids were living in Washington Co IA next door to her sister and family (sister Margaret was married to Denton Leasure, who MAY have been a brother of my Ephraim). Would appreciate any help.

Hi, by word of mouth our family goes back as far as 1669 when they left France because of religious persecution. In my line the name, Lasure is the way we spell it now, started as Le Sueur. There are 17 different ways it is spelled in my line alone. Thelma Marshall's book is very interesting but there are a lot of inaccuracies. Patty Smith is writing a new book and would welcome any and all correct information. She posts regularly so just look her up and she will get back to you. My line goes back through William and Joseph alternating back to Abraham. Our family branch settled in East Tennessee. I don't have a lot of inforamtion but I'm willing to share what I have. Good Luck in your search. Pam

I am looking for any information on children of Israel and Sarah Leasure. Is the Thomas Leasure you mention one of their children and do you have any more information on this family?
