Would there be information on a Loren M. Leland from Rockford, Ohio born July 11, 1887 that you might know?

HLambertJr — 2008-12-13 02:40:23Z

I obtained the birth date for Charles Manuel Leland from my family, he is my great-great-grandfather. His daughter, Alice Idella Leland is my great-grandmother. I have pictures, too. Pictures of Charles Manuel Leland and his wife and of course of my great-grandmother, Alice Idella Leland. Do you have pictures of Burton Leland and Mildred Baker? The pictures that I have of Charles Manuel Leland and his wife are over 100 years old now. I also have the names of all of Charles Manuel Leland and his wife's children. Let me know if you would like to see the pictures and if you would like the family history I have of Charles Manuel Leland and his wife and their children.

Very possibly a relative, but I do not believe he is a son of Charles Leland. There is a Sherborn connection though, as the marriage of Burton Leland and Mildred Baker is recorded both in Sherborn and in North Brookfield.

Where did you get birth and death dates of Charles M Leland?

I found a death record for a Charles M Leland in 1905 parents were not listed, but a daughter was the informant and there was an age. Could not find record of birth on initial search.

Burton Leland and Mildred Baker family Worcester- Framingham, MA 1920-1956

quab0g — 2008-12-09 11:58:51Z

Seeking contact with descendants of Burton Leland b. abt 1899 and Mildred Baker born 27 May 1898. Interested in sharing information about Mildred's family and learning about her children and other descendants. I also have questions regarding the families of Mildred's siblings and half siblings.

I have ten years research on Mildred's mother's (Smith)family to share. I have access to Ancestry and NEHGS and do not need census or vital record information except for marriage date of Mildred and Burton probably abt 1920 in Worcester.

Thank you for your assistance.

Someone found that her pop was John Lee Leland, and her mum was Lucy something. I have not worked on that line for a long long time, as I hit a pretty big brick wall. I do know that Lucretia Leland died sometime before my gf was 6, which would have been before 1870.

Lelalnd connection to Harbert or Eldred families

rlbatty — 2007-09-26 05:27:44Z

Somehow my family is related to a Leland family, just do not know how. My grandmother's family came from Rhode Island: My greatgrandfather was James Eldred born in 1809 in Rhode Island and married to a woman named Sarah. They had children: Thomas W. Eldred, born in 1835 in Rhode Island, James Eldred, born 1838 in Rhode Island, Alban Eldred, born in 1842 and two sisters Sarah and Ann.

My grandfather Thomas W. Eldred married Caroline Pitcher (she was born in 1842 in Rhode Island) and they had children, one of the children was my grandmother Emma G. Eldred, born in 1879. My grandmother Emma Eldred married a man named Lewis W. Harbert (born 1869 in Illinois). They met in Nebraska and married there and had their children there - somehow one of those families has a connection to a Leland family - anyone have Harbert or Eldred relatives on this board?

Re: Lost Leland's

onlygramplovedme — 2007-09-07 17:23:43Z

I did some searching and found the following:

1920 Census
George was b. Il, father b. PA, mother b. IN

1930 Census
George b. IL, father b. IL, mother b. Missouri

Fern or Audrey Fern was mentioned on both:
b. NB, Father b. TN, Mother b. Il

You might want to check out marriage certs for Nebraska as it was and is still a habit to get married in the home town of the bride.

In 1930 their youngest child was Dannie C. Leland in Butler Cnty, Ulysses Village. It appears he was born in 1928-29.

According to Switchborad.com There is a Danny Leland living in Lincoln NB 402 438 5676.

My best guess would be to call Danny in NB. If you haven't made calls like these before, before you introduce yourself tell the person who answers that you are not selling anything and you are interested in Leland genealogy...cuts the defenses immediately(usually)

I would be interested in knowing what you find out.

Re: Will R. Leland

onlygramplovedme — 2007-05-18 19:55:49Z

I found the following info and there is a common thread that runs through the census for employment and I think that may connect the family you are looking for:

1850 Census Pomfret, Windham Cnt CT Lines 25-31

Jas P Leland 45 b. Mass Ax handle Maufacturer
Fanny R 45
unreadable E. F 23 Ax handle Mfg
Henry A 21 Ax Handle Mfg
Ellen M 16
Emma I
William R 10

1870 Census Newtown, Fairfield County CT lines 17 20

Wm R 30 Manufacturer of wood handles
Harriet P 29
Frederick W 7
Lewis P 5

1880 Census Allen KY Lines 14-27

William B[proably census taker's error] 38 Ax handle maker Conn- Mass- Mass
Mary T. 19 wife
Frederick W 17 Laboror
Lewis 15 Laboror

The next family is John Wallon or Walton(he works in an ax handle factory and is married to another Mary. On line 24 is written Leland, Emma 16, daughter in law, border.

1900 Glascow Barren KY

Will R 53 Mfg of Ax Handles fact
Mary 37 1863 Possibly Will R's 2nd wife
Harry 11 1888
Morris 10 1890
Charley 7 1893
Jinnie[sic...could be bad transcription] 5 1895
Emily Millier, Servant, Tenn

It appears that Harriet P William's first wife died between 1870 and 18880 or they were divorced.

The KY DEATH Index shows that Willliam R b. about 1841 died 10 Nov 1915.

Page 33 of THE LELAND MAGAZINE shows that Benjamin Leland b 1715 died 1790 Grafton Mass was married to Rebecca Parker; they had 10 children. Bejamin's father was James Leland who married Hannah Learned; they had 11 children. James Leland father was Henry Leland born in Sherburne Mass 1687. James removed to Hassanamisco afterwards grafton in 1723 and ied there in 1768.

Page 67 of THE LELAND MAGAZINE shows Ebenezer Leland son of Benjamin and grandson of James, born in grafton Mass 1749, married Molly Lyon and died at Grafton in the year of 1837. They had the following children:

Ebenezer b 1779 married to Hannah Putnam and Eunice H Bellows

Polly b 1781 married Ebenezer Burrell

John L b 1784 married Sally Batchelder

Sally Lyon b 1788 married Jas Alexander and Joel Munroe, Shrewsbury, Mass

Josiah b 1794 married Sophia Dutton, Almira Slocumb and Marrady Neff, Union CT.

Ebenezer and Harriet Putnam and Eunice H Bellows have the following children listed after their names:

James P b 1803 married Fanny Putnam, Ashford CT
Ebenezer R b 1806 died 1828 Grafton Mass
John M b 1810 d. 1840 married Mary Ann Meriam
Benj W b 1812 married Sophia Trask, Brookfield Mass
Joseph P b 1814 married Dolly Knowlton, Brookfield Mass
Charles F b 1816 married Nancy P Knowles, Grafton Mass
Hannah E b 1818 Married James L Martin, Westboro Mass
Sarah P b 1823 Grafton, Mass
Mary J b 1824 Grafton Mass

James P Leland married Fanny Putnam they had the following Children:

James E F b 1828 Ashford, CT
Henry A b 1830
Ellen M b 1833
Emma J b 1837
WILLIAM R b 1840
Ashford CT

I would order a copy of the marriage certificate for Mary T and Will R. that date would narrow down the death date of Harriet P Leland.

I hope this helps you put some background to your family.

Re: Leland Hotels

Simeon Leland, Sr. of Landgrove, VT owned the Green Mountain Coffee House. His son, Simeon and brothers, managed the Metropolitan Hotel in NY 1851-1871, the Union Hotel in Saratoga, NY c. 1860's. A Leland grandson managed the Delavan House in Albany, also in the 1860's. Another brother ran the Leland Hotel in Springfield, IL in the 1860's. Other Leland sons & grandchildren managed the Ocean Hotel in Long Branch, NJ, the Palace Hotel in SanFrancisco (c. 1870's-1890), and others.

Simeon Leland, Jr. went bankrupt in 1871 and died a year later, but other family members continued in the hotel management business through the early 20th century,
