Hello,

I am seeking information on Joseph Leasure (born May 1852 in Ohio), wife Clemma Ellen Thompson (10 May 1859 in Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio/20 April 1951 in Wheeling Township, Belmont County, Ohio), and family.

Joseph was a son of John or Thomas Laizure and Martha A. White who were married 01 September 1847 in Tuscarawas County, Ohio.

The descendants of these particular Laisures [also spelled Leasure and Laizure, etc.], my 2nd great-grandfather, Elmer Ellsworth Laisure (18 June 1881 in Fairpoint, Wheeling Township, Belmont County, Ohio/18 December 1939 Shepherdstown, Wheeling Township, Belmont County, Ohio), among them, seem to have later concentrated around Fairpoint, Ohio and Wheeling Township in Belmont County, but originated in the vicinity of New Athens in Harrison County.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached at cwliberty@bellsouth.net. Thanks in advance.
