Biography

Sarah Hutchinson (H5), the author's great-great-great-grandmother, born probably around 1740, married Samuel Leslie (L1), as before stated, most likely in County Antrim, North Ireland. Sarah is one of the two Hutchinson sisters we know most about, the other being Elizabeth, who was Andrew Jackson's mother. Samuel Leslie and family moved south from Pennsylvania in one of the migrations and settled in the early or middle 1760s on the north side of Waxhaw Creek, near George McKemey. Their lives will be discussed in detail in the next chapter. Samuel Leslie had another brother besides John. Recently, in early 1976, it was learned that there was a George Leslie (1734 - 1775) who is buried near the city of York, S.C. He is believed to have been a brother of Samuel and John and he is assigned the family designator of L3. He, of course, did not marry a Hutchinson sister, therefore it is more appropriate to cover him and his descendants in the next chapter. According to the Walkup Papers, there was a James Leslie living within 100 yards of Samuel Leslie in the 1790's. The relationship of Samuel and James Leslie is not clear. Though there is no proof that they were brothers , or indeed any blood kin, the families of Samuel, John and James Leslie were closely associated in other ways, and there is a need for a means of easy reference to James. Therefor James Leslie is assigned the family designator L4 (actually he was older, born about 1724)."
