James Morris Lesher was a carpenter who became a minister and missionary in Sierra Leone, West Africa with the United Brethren in Christ Church. He was born in Freeburg, Snyder County, Pa in 1857, according to church documents. After serving as a minister in various locations in Pennsylvania, James Morris Lesher suffered from ill-health, and retired to lumber business in Pitcairn, Pennsylvania, where he died in 1924. While serving as a minister in Middletown, he met Eleanor Parks, whom he married on September 16, 1860. I am trying to find out who both Eleanor Parks and James Morris Lesher are descended from.
