Have you looked in Crawford Co, espically Greenwood Twp. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2003 6:55 PM Subject: [PAMERCER] leslie/williams/stevenson families > In search of........ > > The Williams family shown in the Mercer county 1870 census. N.L. Williams was head of household age 31, with wife Lucretia (Leslie) Williams, age 30, daughter Bertha age 6, son Harry age 1, sister in law Kate (Leslie) Stevenson age 20 and nephew William Stevenson age 1. > > The Williams family and the Leslie family were in the hardware business together. I've been unable to find N.L and family after the 1870 census, with the exception of the nephew William, who is listed as an orphan at Mercer Soldiers Orphan School along with his brother Percival. The men in the Leslie family, William O. Leslie and son, continued in the hardware business alone. > > Would appreciate any info on where the Williams or Kate Stevenson went after 1870. I have searched without luck for Lucretia in Ohio, as both familes were originally from Ohio. I also did some research in the Washington Territory area.......the orphan William reportedly headed west when released from the orphanage in 1885. His brother Percival stayed in the PA/OH area most of his life. > > Any help would be appreciated! > > Leslie M. > > > ==== PAMERCER Mailing List ==== > Did your great - great grandfather serve in the Civil War?
