The deceased had been afflicted with dropsy, and had been an invalid for several years, unable to leave her home to visit neighbors for the past few months. She was a native of Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. Her maiden name was Mary Foresman. She became the wife of Jacob Leiby at Circleville, Ohio in 1832, and came to Decatur with her husband in 1852, and has resided here ever since. Her husband, who was a successful merchant here, died July 23d, 1877, at an advanced age. She leaves four children, two sons and two daughters - Miss Alice Leiby, Mrs. Sawyer, George and Will Leiby. Three children died.

Mrs. Leiby in her girlhood united with the Presbyterian church at the age of 14 years, and soon after her arrival in Decatur became one of the 14 charter members of the First Presbyterian Church of this city. She lived an exemplary christian life, and was devoted to her family. In her old age she was in the loving care of her devoted children.

My Grandmother was Mary Foresman Foster; her parents were Robert Littler and Frances Bennett Foresman, his parents were John and Rachael Littler Foresman; John's parents were George and Lettice Anderson Foresman and George's parents were John and Jane All Foresman. According to my records John and Rachael Littler Foresman had 9 children and therefore it seems my Great Grandfather Robert and Rebecca are brother and sister. What do you think? By the way, how may I read your message in the Newsletter.

Foresman/Forsman & Vesey/Vessey/Veazy in Oh, IN, IL, MO

2003-10-22 20:38:18Z

Hello, I'm seeking family info on Judith Foresman and
William Vesey, they were married in Franklin Co. Ohio in 1851. They can be found in the Vigo Co. Indiana census for 1860, listed as "Vesa" for Vesey/Veazy. they are shown with children, Malisa, Lewis and Ezra (transcribed as Ezsew). They are a few doors down from my John Foresman and his wife Nancy Ward, whose parents are next door, Nancy's mother's maiden name is Vesey. Because the birthdata matches up ok, I'm 95 percent sure this is the same couple listed more accurately as Vesey in the Jasper Co. Missouri census for 1880 listed with son Ezra and younger children Ida and Olive.

I believe Judith and John are siblings or cousins.

Thank you,
Wooley
