Just a good example of the gold mine to be found in my little project: Memoirs of the Miami Valley Vol III, page 379 contains the ONLY indexed (the operative word here !) on a LEACH. It's for David. Checking him out, I discover: David LEACH, res. Degraff; born in Logan Co, 10 Apr 1848, son of Samuel & Janee (HEATH) LEACH, the only other child being a daughter, Elizabeth. NOTE to Khgud: Perhaps your g-g grdm. was Margaret Elizabeth....?. David was educated at the Leach School, so named because it was located on his father's farm....took up farming w/his fatheer, remaining at home until his marriage on 17 Dec 1867 to Emma J BAKER, who d. 16 Sep 1909 leaving two children: Weldon LEACH, b. 5 Sep 1869 & Minnie F. LEACH, b. 29 Sep 1871. Both children are married (no data given). David LEACH m 2) 26 July 1911 to Mrs. Eunice (HUSTON) NORTON. Among personal data: Member of Degraff Methodist Church; lifelong ardent prohibitionist; farmed entire life, retiredd to Degraff; died 23 Feb 1920. No data on the LINE family in Vol III, but since Degraff is close to the Shelby Co line, I checked my "History of Shelby Co, OH": There are LINE families listed in both Perry Twp (Anna OH) & Jackson Twp (Jackson Center, OH). The Perrry Twp has a biog on The Line Family....mentions Stephen, son of Henry C & Elizabeth (MILLHOUSE) LINE, unfortunately, there is no biog on Stephen to see if he is the correct LINE. Suggest further research in Shelby Co - their Gene. Soc. does not belong to OGS but they are very active & Sidney (county seat) has an excellent Genealogy section at the Amos Public Library, including full OH county Census on microfilm.
