No I did not. I had already found Lasher in the NY 1850 census. I have since found my Austin A Leshers' autopsy which was listed in 1852 for a death that occured 6 September 1851. It confirmed the date of death, cause of death which I already knew and little else. I hired a professional genealogist to help. She has yet to get back to me.

I was searching for Jacob Lesher because a Jacob Lesher and a Simon Walter (my ancestor) co-bought property in Barbour County, Virginia in October 1804. Simon Walter also was buried at the Mount Morris Cemetery. One of the family researchers also said that Simon Walter came from Cocalico Township in Pennsylvania, but I have never found collaborating information. I always wondered if Jacob Walter was married to either a sister of Simon Walter or a sister of Simon Walter's wife, Anna Maria Lower Walter. I would appreciate any insight you can provide.

Do you know where she died? You should try looking in that city's newspapers for the obit. If you do not know where she died, try going through the LDS to look up her SS death index. It will list her residences, as well as birth and death dates. Good luck. I am a Lesher also, and I am looking for a Jacob Lesher married to Catherine Sheets from Cocalico, PA. Sound familiar?

I'm here too, but I don't think my Leshers tie into anyone else's on this list. I keep hoping somebody else will tie into Leshers born in Prussia (my ancestor was Katherine born in 1835) but it never happens. Rosemary, your John W. didn't live in California, did he? My Katherine had two brothers, Peter and John, who lived in California. I don't know if all their descendants stayed there.
