I don't have your Leek family but I would like to share my line just in
case you should ever come across them in your research or maybe you already
have?
I am searching for William Frank Leek born ? July 28, 1853 and died October
23, 1923 in Wabash County, Illinois. He married Ida Thomas. They lived in
Wabash, Pope, Saline and Jefferson Counties Illinois. My great
grandfather, Robert Emmit Leek, was born to them in Stonefort, Illinois
October 20, 1891.
He stayed in Jefferson County, Illinois and married Linnie Ethal Beckham.
Later he moved to Macon County, Illinois where he died February 27, 1947.

It is said that William Frank is the son of Robert H. Leek who was from NY
and Margaret Philpot.
William is suppose to be the son of Henry Leek. This information is 2nd
hand about Robert and I have just received and have yet had time to try to
document it.

Should you know of this family or run across them in your research please
contact me at

Thanks and Good Luck with your search,
Lacinda

I have totally hit a brick wall on this family. Elisha Leak/Leek born abt
1783 in Maryland wed Margaret Garwood/Lamb/? born anywhere from 1786 to
1900
in either Maryland or Virginia. It changes with the census. They were
Catholic as attending a Catholic Church in Monroe Co., Ohio in 1856 for
Easter Service. Don't know if any of the family remained Catholic as the
ones who west did not. James Frances ended up in West Virginia. Margaret
and Julie stayed in Monroe Co., Ohio. George, Bazzle and Elisha went to
Wayne Co. Illinois.

The children we have found so far are as follows:
James Frances Leak born 1815 near Front Royal Warren Co., Virginia
Margaret (Lynch) born 1821 District of Colombia
Julie (Mann) oven 1823 Maryland or Virginia
Bazzle born 1826 Belmont Co., Ohio
Elisha Lamb born 1829 Monroe Co. or Belmont Co., Ohio
George born 1832 Monroe Co., Ohio

With each census several changed their place of birth. I believe there
might
have been a daughter born between James and Margaret who married a Truax.
In
1850 Monroe Co., Ohio census, there is an Ann Truax living with Elisha and
Margaret and in 1860 Stillwell Truax is living in Wayne Co., Illinois with
George Leak. William Truax was married twice. Both wives were Mary Jane.

The second was Mary Jane Fogle who he married in 1843. This Ann and
Stillwell were born before that. WE could be way off base.

This is a second request for some of the counties involved. Any Leak
information welcome.

Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
