Thanks goodness as several of us on this list would like to know for sure if possible. I am begining to feel that we may never know. Not unless some packed away family items comes to the surface one day that is................................................. Anyway, at times using that site does not work well when just typing in Leigh at the main search What I found works the best of all at that site is to go to each book then scroll down to the Index at the bottom of the page for each book and go into the index and check for the names there OR Open each book and go page by page...............the parts highlighted in blue and then use your edit button and search and type in the name there! I found this out the hard way when we extracted for my surname Cothran.................it is spelled over 35 different ways at times! So I went back in and went page by page through all three vol. using the edit search and typing in only Coc Of course this is very time consuming..................and a real pain but it paid off big time! That is how I at long last after others had searched for over 50 years before me.....................................who the parents of my 4th Great Grandfather had been............................. The name was Cockerham back then, and Hezikiah Cockrum was the son of Daniel Cockerham of Halifax Co. VA and his wife Martha When Old Daniel died Martha had married Samuel Pegg/Pigg and they all up and moved to SC from VA....................without those old records we would have never found this out. But Martha appeared in Ct. as Martha Pigg/Pegg to be adm. of the will of Daniel Cockerham as his widow! That was why Hezikiah in SC and NC kept signing as witness for the Pigg/Pegg couple Martha and Samuel. That is why Hezikiah named a daughter Martha! And a son Daniel! NOW I am very happy to report that my 1st. cousins DNA proves this work as well! Yea....................................... So Moral of all of this, these old ct. records are great, you must play around with them however..........................nothing is perfect. But they hold a wealth of goodies if your ancestors came from there!
