General Notes: Husband - Capt. Robert Leeper

---

He inherited fifty acres of the old family homestead farm, afterward adding 150 acres by purchase, for which he paid $750.
He held a commission as captain in the War of 1812, and he carried a sword which his father-in-law, Samuel Harper, brought from Scotland. He was training his company one day when the word came that the British were at Youngstown. He ordered the drum muffled, and beat around for volunteers. But only three volunteered. He threw down his uniform and marched after the drum and almost all of his company followed him. He was an elder in the old Seceder's church of King's Creek.
