General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Leasure


Rev. A. Stapleton, in his memorials of the Huguenots in America, gives the following concerning the Leasure family: "The Leasure family is both ancient and honorable, and was originally seated in the Province of Navarre, France. At the Revocation a branch of this family was compelled to flee to Switzerland for safety, and from whence came Abraham Leasure, who arrived in America in 1754, and located in upper Dauphin county, Pa., where the family name is still extant. A son of the immigrant located in Westmoreland county, Pa., where his descendants became prominent, notably Gen. Daniel Leasure, a distinguished officer of the Civil war."
