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 
    • Elizabeth Leedom, 30 years old, and 12 year old Samuel are living in the household of Barbarah Zook in East Lampeter, Lancaster Co in 1850. Barbara is age 61 and her household includes Mary, age 27; Stephen, age 17; Barbarah, age 17 and John, age 23, presumably her children.

      In Samuel's 1922 death certificate, his son Charles named Samuel's parents as Elijah Leedom and Elizabeth McKillup. I have a hard time believing that a son does not know the birth name of his mother so I am now entering Elizabeth as his mother. I've so far not found any record of Elijah's death but it seems that he had died before 1850 when Elizabeth and son Samuel Leedom were living with Barbara Zook in E. Lampeter.

      Thomas Kennard was married four times according to his obituary and at least two of his wives were named Elizabeth if the 1837 marriage of Elizabeth Riker and Thomas Kennard pertains to this particular Thomas Kennard.

      A marriage notice in The Saturday Express of Lancaster PA helps explain some of the confusing records I've found:
      Kennard-Leedom. April 13th, by Rev George W. Brindle, Thomas Kennard to Mrs. Elizabeth Leedom, both of Soudersburg, Lancaster county.

      So Elijah's widow Elizabeth married Thomas Kennard who was the father of Mary Jane Kennard. Mary Jane would later marry Elijah's son Samuel Leedom.

      (History of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania by Franklin Ellis and Samuel Evans, p. 476, states that Rev. George Brindle became the pastor of St. Paul's M. E. Church in 1854. His failing health allowed him to remain only one year before he took work "in the West".)

      Genealogy of the Hannum family, p. 206, names a Margaret Ann McKillups, born 23 May 1824 in Leacock Twp, Lancaster Co, daughter of John McKillups and Margaret Moss who lived in Gordonville, Lancaster Co. The general time and place of this couple and birth year of their daughter Margaret Ann makes them interesting candidates to be the parents of Elizabeth.
