Biography

Margaret Crow ... ^[1]

Margaret was born about 1749. She passed away about 1799.

From an unsourced biography posted in John Wesley Leap's Wikitree and Find A Grave profiles, it states about his first wife, Margaret Crow and states that John Wesley Leap moved to Indiana with his second wife that he married in Pennsylvania. With this information, Margaret Crow Leap could not have died in Indiana. The quoted biography is as follows:

"...... In 1768, John married Margaret Crow and moved to Mannheim Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In 1775, the family was living in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. After the death of his first wife in 1799, John and his children moved to Lancaster County where he married a French lady, Sarah Deleow. Soon after, his new wife and children moved to Greene County. In 1808 he went to Indiana to prepare a place for his family to settle in what is now known as Switzerland county, Indian. In about 1816 John Leap Sr. moved with his second wife and younger children to the new land. In 1832 the family moved again to Boone County, Indiana to live on a farm near Fayette.

The older children of John Wesley Leap moved to Virginia. Gabriel and John Wesley II reached Monongalia County just after 1810 and are listed on the 1820 census there. By 1840, part of Monongalia County became Tyler County, and by 1846 part of Tyler County became Wetzel, Wood and Wirt Counties. Both Brothers and their children are listed in the 1840 and 1850 census. ....
