Brock, Main reference for the LEATHERMAN move to Indiana is biography of DANIEL LEATHERMAN in "History of Lawrence, Orange, & Washington Counties, Indiana" by Goodspeed Bros., 1884. Daniel's parents are CHRISTIAN LEATHERMAN & BARBARY HOSTETLER who are listed as having moved to Orange Co., IN in 1819. This is same Christian & Barbary recorded as having married 4 Aug 1798 Shelby Co., KY in "Marriage Index of KY, Shelby Co., KY 1790-1850". I have bio. if you want it - also one on a CHRISTIAN PETER LEATHERMAN from Ohio whom I can't connect yet to any of the KY/IN lines. Maybe you'll have better luck so I can include it also if you want. BTW, I also have extensive data on the JOHN LEATHERMAN line that ended up in Louisiana and later Texas - mixed in with the CARGILL & McCASLAND lines down there.
