In a sketch of son John C. Leffel

"A colony of pioneers left Botetourt Co., Va., in 1806, bound for the then territory of Ohio, better known as the North-west Territory. They located about 75 miles from Cincinnati, in what afterwards became Clarke Co., O. Among these early pioneers were Daniel Leffel and parents and Miss Elizabeth Clapsaddle and her parents. These two young people were married in December, the same year of their emigration, and they made the new settlement their permanent home. Daniel Leffel followed farming in Clarke county and waggoning to Cincinnati. They reared a family of 10 children..."
