    1. Re: [MORANDOL-L] Lessly information
    2. As I am a direct descendant of this line I thought I would chime in.  Hezekiah PATTRICK and his descendants spelled the surname with two "T"s.  The name didn't always get spelled correctly in the papers or documents but that is how the family spelled it back in Hezekiah's day.  Also George W. LESSLY and his descendants spelled their surname without the second "E".  There was another related family that spelled their surname "LESSLEY" also in Randolph County which makes things very confusing unless you happen to be acquainted with the family history.  Like the "PATTRICK" surname, the "LESSLY" surname didn't always get spelled right in the papers.  But if you go and see the gravestones in the Higbee cemetery (I have pictures) you can see the names were spelled "PATTRICK" and "LESSLY". Ann Eliza PATTRICK was sometimes also know as Annie Elizabeth.  She married George W. LESSLY on March 6, 1870 in Higbee, MO.  They were the parents of six children - James E., George E. , William A., Clarence K., Bertha M., and Annie.  Annie Elizabeth PATTRICK LESSLY is also buried in the Higbee Cemetery.   Addie PATTRICK and her husband Francis M. TYMONY are also buried in the Higbee Cemetery. Mary J. PATTRICK and her husband Henderson BURTON are also buried in the Higbee Cemetery. Carole Brace
