WEIR - YOUNG - WRIGHT
Date: 13 Jan 2000
From: Levi Weir <levi@companet.net>
I am looking for information on Leonard Lindsey WEIR, b.1818 in Tn (place unknown), married Susan F. YOUNG, b 10/22/1824 in Lauderdale Co, married on 6/27/1844 at Florence. I believe she was from around Waterloo. They moved to Limestone Co. and died there, near Elk River. They had a relative, a Ms. Mary WRIGHT from Lauderdale Co., who left them some land in trust for her and their children. I do know the land near Waterloo, and was covered up by TVA in later years.
Leonard and Susan were my GG Grandparents, and that is as far back as I can go. I would like to know who there parents were. Leonard was born somewhere in TN, and when he was very small, his Father (Name unknown) brought hin to Lauderdale Co, we believe near Waterloo, and left him with with someone to raise him. Then his Father took off for parts unknown. We do know that several years later Leonard received a letter from his Father from some where in TX, wanting to come see him. Leonard refused to contact his Father, saying "He is old and probably wanting someone to take care of him, but he would not take care of me when I needed him, so I won't take care of him." Then Leonard threw the letter in the fireplace and no one knew where in TX  his Father was, nor his name. Leonard never spoke of his Father to his family. I suppose his mother died, and his Father couldn't take care of him by himself and make a living, so he chose to let someone else raise him, which was not uncommon.
Any information will be greatly appreciated, and if anyone wants Leonard and Susan's family decendents, please contact me

 Looking for information on the family of John McGEE (b. 8 Nov 1819 - d. 14 May 1883, Milam Co., TX) who supposedly married Nancy Leonah (Lena) Williams (b. 25 Apr 1820 - d. 8 Jan 1893, Milam Co., TX).
John McGEE appears on the 1860 Federal Census in Lauderdale Co., AL. Their children (the ones I know of) are: Sletha Jane (Selithia) McGEE (b. 8 Apr 1852) and Seludia Ann McGEE (b. 4 Nov 1856). There might be more children.
