James T. LEIGH died 26 Sep. 1886 in Carroll county, Missouri and is buried at Coloma. Would like to know where in Virginia he was born and who his parents were. Also any information on any of his children appreciated. I have documentation on Nancy Ann who married William FLEMING and Elizabeth J. who married a George W. BAYLESS but none of the others. Kay
