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 >> Carole Thank you for the update. It's like looking for my OWEN, some spelled with the "S" and some OWINGS, same people. I will make the corrections in my files Linda Manning
