Michelle..my great grandfather was John Anderson Leitsey (note spelling).He was a brother to Jacob Godfrey Leitsey.It was John's son, Thomas Bensongeneration when the spelling changed to Leitzsey.They were also from Newberry, SC.It's odd that there were two Jacob Godfrey's in Newberry.My Jacob Godfrey (b.1823) had two brothers, John Anderson (b.1820)& David Benson (b.1826).Their parents were John Anderson Leitsey (b.1780) in Newberry, SC (d.1851) in SC & Christine Slight (sp?) (b.1785).
Your Jacob & my Jacob were just a couple of years apart in age.
Could we be related?Who are your parents?
I know this does not help you but I found it fascinating.
