    1. Re: [ILPIKE] Leggett-notes
    2. Sharon, Your typing is wonderful, per my earlier reply, let me go further in speculation. My gg-grandfather John Washington LEGGETT was born circa 1830 (unknown) and married Louisa Marion CANNON (3-81839-8-23-1908; according to the LDS site from Benton County, Alabama) on 1-21-1855. John and Louisa had one child (known) George Washington LEGGETT, born August 18. 1856 (my great grandfather). John Washington LEGGETT, died September 30th, 1856, for reasons unknown and about 6 week after his son was born. John Washington LEGGETT is buried in the HOLLIS cemetery south of NEBO in Pike County, also Louisa who died 52 years later is buried there. \\ Now this is truly speculation with no authentic facts, In your last posting you mentioned David HOLLIS according to web information I have recieved David HOLLIS was married to a Carolyn LEGGETT, and they had a minor Emeline LEGGETT living in the same household. On the adjacent (next) farm in Pike County owned by James Scranton there was a Washington (John?) Leggett living and working as a laborer. I have always speculated with no proof that this was family????? It is interesting that after John Washington LEGGETT died in 1856, That Louisa Marion CANNON LEGGETT, then remarried to a David SCRANTON and had 9 more children, yet was buried near John Washington LEGGETT in the HOLLIS cemetery, 52 years later. It certainly is a puzzle, with not a lot of documentation to confirm any speculation or substantiating facts. I am so glad to see another LEGGETT researcher on this site. The Pike County site has the most dedicated people and nicest bunch of volunteers of all the sites, I have ever been to. I bet we can find a connection. Gerald N. Norm LEGGETT
