I was reading your messages Rebecca Leeper Boyd. I am still trying to get information about the Uriah Leeper and wife, Rachel Dunn Leeper Davidson. I have heard that Uriah died in 1858 in West Columbia (now known as Donora), PA.shortly before twin boys were born in 1859 named Harvey and Hiram.Uriah and Rachel had eight children and all living at home when Uriah died The eldest child was Charlotte. Rachel struggled for a few years;married a man named Robert Davidson and they had a son name Harry. She died under the name of Rachel Davidson, but do not have date or location of death. Rebecca, born 1833- died 1920, was a younger sister of Uriah Leeper.(I hope this is right, as this is what I have on my records received from a Leeper researcher from Belle Vernon, PA.Uriah's parents were Robert Galloway Leeper and Mary Ammon. His grandparents on Leeper side were James Leeper and Agnes Galloway. Rebecca was the eight child of ten and Uriah was the first. He was born 1818. I hope this gives you some food for thought. Please let me know if my collection shows that we are connected. Sincerely, Doris Lawrence P.S. My husband signed up on "Message Board" as JohnLawrence96.
