Leicester Mason Dana m Harriet Rice NY>IL
In the Dana Genealogy Book Leicester is listed as the adopted son of Francis Dana and Hulda Root, a member of the Root Family.
Has anyone figured out who his parents were?
He married Harriet Rice about 1818 in New York and they moved to McHenry County, Illinois.Most internet information states that he died in 1847 in Chemung Twp, McHenry Co.However, I found Harriet Rice Dana married to a William Fitz Jerles in the 1850 FedCen and there is a marriage in Illinois for them dated 1846.Her younger Dana children are listed with her.
Can anyone help me with this family?I do have information to share on some of the children.
Thanks for any help available.
