1853 NEWS


To me this is a fascinating document.  There is a lot of information here for various families: Benton, Leach, Bryant, Gentry, Miller, Rogers, Smith, Brown, Fraught, and Taylor.

One note is that Rebecca Leach is noted as the daughter of Jonathan & Nancy Rogers.  All Leach researchers show Rebecca's surname as Raley and that Rebecca Raley married James S. Leach when she was 20 years old (1823).  I suppose she could have previously been married to a Rogers but when I look at the Jonathan Rogers Findagrave index there is no indication he had a daughter named Rebecca (other children are named).  So that is a bit of a mystery.  Could easily be an error by the newspaper.
