In a message dated 98-07-15 19:47:38 EDT, you write: << I am interested in the Lesesnes of Clarendon co. as well. Particularly Bubba and Sarah (Brother and Sister) Leasesne that lived accross the street from the archives and library in Manning. Both are now long dead and buried in the Manning cemetary. She ran a guest house for travelers on hwy 301 and he was a salesman. There are a bunch of Lesesne markers in the Manning cemetary but I can't make the connections. Bubba always brought me a Hershy Bar when he traveled through Columbia on his sales trips. >> I remember Miss Sara (Sara Levy LESESNE). By the time I came along she ran the boarding house with her sister in law, Mrs. Julia Adelaide (Wilson) LESESNE whose mother was a LESESNE. The best place to start with the Manning LESESNEs is probably my gg grandfather Major William Theodore LESESNE (CSA) who served in Hampton's Legion. Both of his parents were LESESNEs: Charles William LESESNE (b. 1808 in Georgetown) and Susannah Martha LESESNE (1813-1891) of the Santee River LESESNEs. Here's how I have his line: 1 -- Maj. William Theodore LESESNE (11 Oct 1833-25 Dec 1884) sp-*Sarah Lucretia RHAME (21 Dec 1837-22 Apr 1890) 2 -- Levy Francis Rhame LESESNE (31 Jul 1857-27 Nov 1895) sp-**Margaret Elizabeth THAMES (1 Jul 1855-21 Mar 1921) 3 -- Frances L. "Franke" LESESNE (22 Dec 1891-6 Dec 1946) sp-***Dr. William Ernest McINTOSH (17 Oct 1881-8 Oct 1955) 3 -- Charles Levy LESESNE (27 May 1895-18 Aug 1900) 2 -- Alexander La Motte LESESNE (b. abt 1859) sp-Elizabeth Thomas CUTTINO 2 -- William Theodore LESESNE, Jr. (25 Mar 1862-12 Jul 1925) sp-Agnes "Callie" McFADDIN (31 Mar 1869-25 Sep 1947) 3 -- William Theodore LESESNE, III (11 Dec 1898 - 1951) sp-****Julia Adelaide WILSON (8 Sep 1900-12 Jan 1970) 3 -- Sara Levy LESESNE (27 Dec 1904-17 Mar 1989) 2 -- Susan Elizabeth LESESNE ( abt. 1864-4 Aug 1945) sp- *****Albertus Spain BRIGGS (b. abt. 1855) * daughter of Levy Francis RHAME & Elizabeth TINDAL ** daughter of Charles Christopher THAMES, Jr. & Mary C. FELDER *** son of John Franklin McINTOSH & Sarah Adelaide JOYE **** daughter of Dr. Henry Laurens WILSON & Susan Wells LESESNE ***** son of Dr. Thomas Whitaker BRIGGS & Margaret Susan SPAIN Hope this clears up some of those markers in Manning Cemetery! Bill (William Ernest McINTOSH, III) I am assuming "Bubba" is William Theodore LESESNE, III -- would love to know more about his occupation, etc.
