I have recently acquired a copy of the book, George Michael Eller and Descendants of His on America by James William Hook. It was originally published in 1957, but reprinted in the 1990's. In discussing Michael Eller's siblings, it mentions his brother Henry Eller. On page 14, " According to a letter of Mary Hoss Headman of Knoxville, Tenn., published in the Maryland Historical magazine in 1945 (Vol 50, p. 250), Henry Eller Sr. married Elizabeth Bigler (Beigler), dau. of Mark and Catherine Bigler. Bigler's will, proved in Frederick Co. in 1787, mentions a wife Catherine, (sometimes written Marie Catherine), and children, (1) Catherine Bigler who m. Henry Miller; (2) Elizabeth Bigler, who m. Henry Eller (Etter); (3) Phoebe Bigler, who m. Lazarus Fonderburgh; (4) Salome Bigler, who m. Samuel Tomme; (5) Mark Bigler Jr., who m. Catherine Lease, dau fo Philip Lease who d. in Frederick Co., Md. about 1769; (6) Israel Bigler; (7) Daughter Bigler, who m. Mr. Randabush; (8) Hester Bigler; (9) Juliana Bigler; (10) Barbara Bigler. (Will Book GM, No. 2, p. 238, Frederick Co., Md.)" Hopefully this will help with the Mark Bigler family.

Milton, My question is not necessarily about the Bigler Family but has to do with Catherine Lease, d/o Philip Lease. My ancestor was Leonard Lease/Leist. Do you have any info about this Lease family? I would appreciate anything that you may have. Thanks.
