JLarsen, Thank you for the reply, These folks could definately be relatives(and probably are). But questionably, not ancestors (cousins, kin, etc). My John Washington LEGGETT was born circa 1830, died 1856. Your Margaret LIGGETT would have only been 13 in 1830 and Alexander only 16, not impossible, but probably improbable. I'm sure there is more of a connection then we can see with our current data, but somewhere, someplace?? Thank you very much for your time and concern, I hope we can put it together one day, i will keep in touch. PS this is a good site to be a subscriber, many dedicated people. Gerald N. Norm LEGGETT
