We now have three genealogy files on this site: our main database which is a combined ‘Ives-Leedom’ tree, plus two additional working trees with so-far unconnected people I've found along the way, ‘Leedoms-unknown’ and ‘Netherlands-unknown’. All of the Search results will identify which tree contains the individual or place in question.

Different sources sometimes have conflicting information and there are undoubtedly a few typographical errors in here as well. Please feel free to send us any corrections to errors you may find in our files. Additions are always welcome too!

    Notes 
    • An Orphan's Court appeal by William's uncle Theodore, co-executor of his own father Joseph's will, was settled in 1891 in favor of William B. Leedom, the acknowledged illegitimate son of Joseph's daughter, Roselma, receiving his mother's share of her father's estate.

      Sara Eachus states in The Leedom Family that William B. Leedom was born 1857 and died 1920, marrying Tacy S. Kirk on 2 Jan 1879. She was born 1856 and died 1939, and is buried in Hatboro Cemetery. Although the generational numbering is confusing on pgs 114-115, it appears that she lists William B. as a son of Joseph and Amanda. Even though he wasn't their son but their grandson, the birth, death and marriage information Sara Eachus provided may still be correct.
