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!

      Henry Tomlinson's Book of Records
      1 mo 27 1785 - Ruth Leedom wife of John Leedom.

      Byberry MM records give the same date for death and burial in two records
      Ruth Ledam the wife of John Ledam died ye 27th day of ye 1st month in the year of our Lord 1785

      Ruth Ledam wife of John Ledam ('died' is stricken) Interred the 27th day of the 1st month in the year of our Lord 1785.

      New Garden MM death records
      1785, 1 mo 27 - Ruth Leedom wife of John Leedom

      Middletown MM records give the burial of Ruth Leedom in the 3rd Row, no 10 in a row-by-row list of burials titled 'Record of Middletown Friends Grave Yard at Langhorne', none of which have any dates. It appears that the Byberry records give her date of burial but that she is actually buried at Middletown.
