Seeking info on William Leander, born circa 1825 in NY, married Catharine Jane Duryea, probably died before she remarried to Harry A. Lockwood in 1869 in Jersey City, NJ. Catharine was the daughter of John H. Duryea (1812-1836) and Sarah M. Moffit.

The couple is found in the 1860 census in NYC: New York City 8th ward 1st district, New York County, New York:
William Leander, age 35; billiard salon; personal estate $200; NY.
Kate Leander, age 26; NY.

The notice of Catharine's remarriage appeared in the New York Herald. Mrs. Kate J. Leander, daughter of the late John H. Duryea, married Harry A. Lockwood on Tuesday, November 2, 1869 in Jersey City. Reverend Henry A. Cordo officiated.

Thank you.

Commons Family

WandaCommons55 — 2001-06-29 21:56:23Z

I am trying to find the link beetween a Leander A. Commons and our line which began with William and Sarah Scarlett from Ireland. Leander A. & Louella Rachel Elder had 8 children. The oldest, Frances Alexander Commons/Gayle Lovelace had 3 children. ELVIN G./Maxine had son Gary whom went to school with Rod Commons at WSU; STAN, & ANNA. Stan & Elvin moved from Idaho to Orgon and owned and ran fast food/ice cream places called Artic Circle.
Do they have any connection with the Leander surname?
Any help will be appreciated. wcommons@mcsi.net

Hi, Kathleen. Hope things are going well for you. I was reviewing some old correspondence and came across ours from back in August. I don't intend to be pushy, but only to inform you that if you did try to send me the Blackfoot Nation photos showing Wyndam Maize Leander I never got them. If you care to follow up, my e-mail address is Nancy42856@aol.com. Thanks. :)

my thanks

2000-08-29 08:11:15Z

You are very generous. I will be glad to receive whatever you care to send. My e-mail is Nancy42856@aol.com.

Leander/Blackfoot

2000-08-28 06:55:14Z

There are two things of interest to me in your posting. First, that your Leander connection is Blackfoot, because an elderly uncle I've seen only twice in my life has told me the Indian on this side of my family was Blackfoot (Cherokee on the matrilineal side). Second, that your surname is Beattie -- because we have Beattys in our our line from Ireland > Pennsylvania > North Carolina > Alabama, and some of the records spell the surname Beattie. I obviously don't have anything concrete for you, but I thought these were plausible leads, so thought I'd pass them on. Thanks for responding to my posting.

I need information on Leander ancestry.

2000-04-26 15:07:51Z

My grandma's name is Velma Kuusela Mattson. Tracing her family back to the middle of the 1800's. But we figured out that name Leander changed to Kuusela when they moved from Sweden to Finland. I need to find some ancestry that knows why the name changed.

LEANDER female married to MOORE or LAND male

1999-11-15 07:35:45Z

In hopes of determining my father's ancestry. His dad's middle name was Leander, and the tradition in the family is for the males' middle names to be maiden names of grandmothers -- hence the search for LEANDER females who married men surnamed Land or Moore. The LAND family might have been in SC, LA, or MS throughout the 1800s. The MOORE family was probably in MS the whole century, but likely had roots in KY. Also, there's supposed to be an "Indian" connection, possibly Cherokee. So I'd love to know of any Indian LEANDERs whether or not you have specific clues as to a connection.
