LEAH WILLIAMS

( - )



Leah Williams was the daughter of William Williams, who died in Henrico Co VA, 1717. The inventory of his estate was returned 8 Oct 1717 by Charles Williams, Administrator. Prince George Co VA Deeds & Wills, 1713-1718, p.102s

The JACKSONS OF KENTUCKY book states that her name was Leah Neal, probably the daughter of Thomas Neal - I believe the information had come from THE JACKSON & RELATED FAMILIES: THREE HUNDRED YEARS IN AMERICA by William G. Haemmel. No other source given. Apparently there is a stone monument, placed by descendants in 1954, at "The Cottage" in Amelia County which also lists her name as Lean Neal.

After the death of Ralph Jackson in 1709, Leah married John Pattison, probably about 1712.

8 Jan 1710 Leah rec'd 300#'s of tobacco for three wolves taken in a pit.
