The information comes from a book written by Harvey W. Elam The Pioneers of Elam Neighborhood. There no direct facts of dates mentioned. However James D. Ledbetter the wife's father died Dec 1891 near Bluffton, Wells Co., IN. There is a note later in the page about Robinson Ledbetter being with a niece Mrs James Geiger in Portland IN. in 1892. It looks like the Ledbetters moved to Union/Xenia OH from Brunswick VA somewhere shortly after 1823. The children and grandchildren generally stayed in the area but some are found in Dayton and in IN. All of the obituaries quoted come from the Xenia Gazette.
