Biography
She was mentioned in her father's will (still a minor in August, 1759, so born after 1738).[1]
FSFTID LHXD-6T5.
- Research Note: If Jane Cole is Leah's mother, and her parents were married in 1758, then she would have been born about 1760. Kind of hard for her to have been married in 1767. Some sources for this information needs to be found. - if Jane Cole is not her mother, then the birth year of 1745 would work, BUT her father married Jemima in 1695 with a birth for her about 1680 - she would not have been having children in 1745 (age 65). Imagine if Stephen born 1680 is her father, then he must have had another wife between the two already listed. Work needed.
