It is nearly done: a project that I have long wanted to complete since 1983. I have photographed each individual page of Solomon Leach’s original ledger book with entries dating back to 1863 when he operated a sawmill in Arbela Twp., Tuscola Co., MI. All that remains is to write an introduction then copy it on CD’s so it can be distributed to all who may be interested. I’m very interested about the opportunity of sharing this fascinating old book with the rest of the world! Dale Leach
Thank you Dale!
Hello,
I know this is a fews old but I just now found your site while doing some family tree research.
My mother’s maiden name is Leach. Her dad was John Leach from Forest City, MO.
Hello Don,
I see you sent a commented in to me way back in May of 2015. I apologize for not replying in a timely manner. So sorry. You mention your Mother’s maiden name was Leach and her Father was John Leach. The fact that John was from Forest City, MO makes me wonder if he might be descended from Philetus Leach who also lived in Forest City. If so he would be related to my husband who is descended from Susan Viola Leach, and her Father Solomon Leach. If there’s a connection I’d love to connect with you and perhaps we have information we could share with each other. Hope to hear from you. Susan Edminster
