Lepard-60 and Unknown-582442 appear to represent the same person because: Elizabeth (Grace) Lepard's first name at birth appears to be Lepard (father Jacob Lepard), according to her father Jacob's will she married John Lepard. Birth year is off by 5 years but one record lists this as unertain. 1851 Census lists her in a large household with Pegg family, one of whom appears to have married her sister. Grace is also listed in FamilySearch and several Ancestry trees as having Father Jacob Lepard and mother Mary Terry
