I would love to talk to you about Leah Wiseley Smith. Leah's mother was Leah Tomlinson Wiseley (1790-1866). Leah Tomlinson was the sister of my great-great-great-grandfather, Jesse Tomlinson. Jesse Tomlinson died in 1841, intestate. Jesse and Leah's father, Henry Tomlinson, died in 1837, intestate. Since they died before civil records were kept, and since neither had a will, I have had a hard time finding information on them. Perhaps you have located details on Leah Tomlinson Wiseley that would aid me in scaling my Tomlinson brick wall. If you are Leah's descendant, then you and I are cousins of some degree.
