I am trying without success to find any lead for Leana Murray, her parents, siblings or Teed inlaws. She was born abt March 1866, emigrated from english Canada to the northeast U.S. around 1887. Married Frederick Teed (son of Alonzo and Emeritta) in 1892 in New York, they had a son Leland "Leo" Teed in 1893 and she died between 1901 - 1910, then Frederick Teed died between 1910 - 1918.

ronnan6, Do you happen to know whether Leland "Leo" TEED's middle name was Willis? Did he live with his grandparents following his parents' deaths? Do you already have a WWI draft card for him?

I've found a draft card for a Leo Willis TEED (born Oct 3, 1893 in Boston MA), who resided in Bridgeport CT in 1917 and indicated that he was the sole support for his grandparents.

As you may already know, Frederick TEED was born c1868 in NY state, and was enumerated in Masonville, Delaware County, NY in 1880. (I am posting this information to provide place names for researchers who may have an interest in this family or be in a position to help you.)

In 1910, Leo and his father, Fred, were enumerated in Olive, Ulster County, NY. In this census, Frederick's age is given as 38, which computes to a birth year of c1872.

The 1900 census enumerates Fred W. TEED (born Dec 1866 NY), wife Leana (born March 1866, CAN) and Leland (born Oct 1894 MA).

You say that Fred and Leana were born in NY. Do you mean NY state, or NY City? Have you been able to procure the marriage record, or her death record? Either might be a source of Leana's parents' names.

YES, Leland's middle name was WILLIS, and yes, he did live with his grandparents from his father's death until entering the service in 1917. What I don't know is which grandparents and where and when his father Fred died. I do have the WWI draft registration showing Bridgeport, Conn. but so far that's has been a deadend. I have located a marriage license for Fred & Lena, a birth cert for Leland, and a death cert for Lena, all in Boston. Lena's death record shows her maiden name as McLane, and coming from Pictou, Nova Scotia, with her parents listed as Alexander & Margaret Mclean. Another researcher has found a John Alexander Mclean and Margaret Murray in Pictou, Pictou county, Nova Scotia in the 1891 Canadian census. The census' show Fred born in New York state, not sure where. Lena immigrated from Nova Scotia around 1887. Fred did live near Teedville now Trout Creek N.Y. as a child with his parents Alonzo and Emeritta. Alonzo traces back to the colonial Long Island Teed's but I'm not sure what Emeritta's maiden name was. I'm working on the idea that it was perhaps WILLIS as Fred was (Frederick W) and Leo was Leland WILLIS. The family was told Leland's grandparents had died while he was in France 1917 - 1918. Leland made his way to Los Angeles sometime between leaving the army and 1922, there he met and married Vera Irene Schroeder from Missouri, sometime the end of 1922 or beginning of 1923. They did take a trip to New England for her to meet his family. Not sure which family members or Mass or N.Y. I can't find a marriage record in N.Y., Mass, Missouri, California or Nevada. Leland passed away in an Arizona hospital in 1927 and was returned to LAA. for burial. He is buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery, Glendale, Ca. Borderland section, Lot 167, Block 1615, Tier 2. Any more leads on Fred, Lena or Leland would be gratefully appreciated.
