Hi there!
Glad to see someone else in the family is trying to break down the "brick wall" and get beyond the Atlantic to "Irish John's" origins. Let me know if you find anything, and I'll do the same!

PamMatthews38 — 2012-04-05 02:09:35Z

Still looking for information about my Grandfather, Harry Calbert Leedom, went by Cal. According to the 1920 census he was born in Montana, according to his military records he was born in Dickson, South Dakota and what he told his family was that he was born in Dickinson, North Dakota. He lived in St. Paul, Minnesota from the time he was about 16, he was alone. I have a postcard his mother wrote to him in 1920 that was from Buffalo, New York. I have some pictures when she was in Minnesota for Cal's funeral in 1926 on which my Grandmother wrote Grandma Burke. Did she remarry? Anyone out there have any ideas about who this famuly is?
Thanks Pam

Layton Eugene Leedom & Vera Ida Pierce, Lyon, Minnesota

qtheather421 — 2010-08-20 15:11:29Z

I am a relative of the Pierce family and the Leedom family through the marriage of Layton "Jack" and Vera. I am trying to locate and get in touch with family members of these two in order to share my Pierce family tree with you and also to bring Jack & Vera's line to present day in my records. I hope to hear from someone out there!

Vera was my grandfather's aunt, and her son Dean was his cousin. I have an old photo from the late 1950;s of Vera,Jack, Dean and "Dean's wife" - it belonged to my grandparents from a visit they made out to the family.

Dear Debora,

I have Leedom's in my family but not yours. However, there's a lady named Katie Ives who's done a great deal of research on Leedoms. Her website is: http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ski/genealogy.html

You may find your Leedoms there.

Thanks again! I'll definitely check it out!

Re: Leedom or Potts in Bucks Co., PA

rabyard — 2008-10-19 21:19:28Z

Nothing further about Norris is listed in the book and I can not find much on the internet but I did find this reference: Norris Leedom 104 G Private Discharged on Surgeon's certificate on April 9, 1862. It is likely to be your Norris and thus his Civil War records might have some clues about him especially if his widow applied for a pension.I also tried to find him in 1870 with William but without success.

Re: Leedom or Potts in Bucks Co., PA

enderstodd — 2008-10-19 01:53:30Z

Does it make any mention of the dates of the two marriages for Noris? That would help me determine which was the mother of William.

Thanks you!

Re: Leedom or Potts in Bucks Co., PA

enderstodd — 2008-10-19 01:24:08Z

Thank you! I've got to get that book!

Re: Leedom or Potts in Bucks Co., PA

rabyard — 2008-10-18 17:17:45Z

According to the Leedom genealogy by Sara Eachus, William S. Leedom was born Mar 1865 and married 1) in 1887 Annie Overhard and married 2) Matilda Scheffer. William was the son of Noris Stanley Leedom who married 1) Annie Ruben and 2) Alice Merrick. Noris was the son of Benjamin Leedom III and Elizabeth (Betsy Ann) Clark.

Leedom/Burke in Buffalo New York.

PamMatthews38 — 2007-04-26 01:21:13Z

I am looking for my great Grandmother's family. Her name was Leedom, sorry, I don't have a first name, when my grandfather was born,1896, and Burke when he died in June of 1926, her husband was Gro. Geo. Burke according to the information from the Mortuary. I believe my grandfather was born in North or South Dakota, later moving to St. Paul, Minnesota. The St. Paul, MN paper said that she traveled from Buffalo, New York to attend her son's funeral. My Grandfather was Harry Calber Leedom and he was a St. Paul Policeman.

Still looking for info on Calbert Harry Leedom

PamMatthews38 — 2006-07-26 23:35:24Z

Still looking for my grandfathers family. I don't have much to go on, but here is what I do know.

Calbert Harry Leedom or Harry Calbert was born Oct 2, 1896 in Dickinson, North Dakota. Have not been able to find a birth certificate for him. His mother was maybe born in Montana and his father in North Dakota. In the funeral home records of his death his mother is listed as Mrs Geo Burke. I also found a picture in my grandmothers collection that says Grandma Burke on it. I also found a postcard from her postmarked Buffalo, New York. My grandfather died June 20, 1926, he was a St. Paul, Minnesota policeman. My dad was only 5 at the time of his death.

Not much info to go by, but if anyone has any info please let me know.

Hello... I am traveling at the moment and don't have my Leedom book with me, but seems to me that Robert Grant is part of my Leedom Family... Wish I had my book to verify.. Our part of the family has many omissions only shows one child I believe when there were many......... I just found my ggrandfathers grave and death information. I have been looking for a long time and found he died in St. Louis 1927 and was buried in the area where I was raised and went to school. Had no idea he was there, as Iowa and other parts of Missouri were his home....very exciting.
Ora W. Leedom was his name.

Ora Irene Mary Leedom
