Thanks for the information. The "Edward Leek" I gave you must refer to your Edgar Elias (Elias E.) Leek. "Edward" was the name used in my source materials, but I trust your data more.

Sorry, I know nothing more about Phebe Leek's two husbands, Benjamin Seaman and Treadwell Cornell.

The oldest source of my data is a transcription by genealogist William A. Eardeley of the probate papers of Samuel Stilwell of Queens NY, who died on 3 Dec 1887. The papers include a long petition containing the names of 250+ Stilwell relatives, including the CORNELLs and LEEKs I named. The petition was published in full in "Combes:Combs:Comes:Coomes Genealogy 1650-1924"

Eardeley also transcribed the names in this notes and added more genealogy data when he found it. The microfilm title is "Manuscripts and notes of William A. Eardeley" FHL #416886 (Sheffield-Stillwell). The Cornell and Leek data are included in the Stilwell section.

I have printed copies of the source materials (at least I hope I still do). There really isn't much more Leek data than I already gave you, but if you want it, send me a private email with your address and I'll mail you the pertinent pages when I'm able to find them. View my profile for the email address.
