Catherine m Jacob Godfrey Leitzsey
Jacob Godfrey Leitzsey married Catherine Cromer, 13 April 1843. They had nine children: Sarah R., Frances "Fannie" E., John David, George Frank, Jacob Calhoun, Mary Catherine, James Benson, Nancy M., and William Langston.
I'm trying to confirm a family story of a Jacob Godfrey Holley, b. abt. 1821, changing his surname to Leitzsey. I believe he had at least four brothers: David Mack, John W., Daniel Dewalt, and P. William. Three of these brothers married three Leitzsey sisters who's family had no sons. John W. Holley married Elizabeth Leitzsey abt 1840. P. William Holley married Polly Leitzsey, date unknown. Daniel Dewalt Holley married Rosannah Leitzsey, date unknown, but I believe their children were Daniel Pickens and Isabella D. Holley. The parents of the Leitzsey girls were George Leitzsey Jr. and Eve Margaret Shealy.
