LEIGH FAMILY OF MANSFIELD, CONN, & Northampton, Mass
Posted by: Patrice Hughes (ID *****4759) Date: June 24, 2007 at 12:09:29
  of 812

For anyone who is interested, I have some info about this family, The father was Philip Leigh of London, died 1837. After his death his wife Ann Magaar and children Lewis, Philip, James, Elizabeth, Annie, Harriet, Adelaide and Jane came to the US.

I don't have much on them but can give you what I have, which is from the back of an old journal I acquired about 30 years ago. The journal was kept by Vera Bell Dickerman during the '20s and '30s.I don't think she had any descendants (being a professed "old maid"!) but she apparently had a brother, Charles Leroy Dickerman. Her mother was Lillian Lum Dickerman. Doesn't say her father's name. Lilliam's mother was Isabelle Lum. Isabell's mother was Isabella Vallentin Leigh.

There is a section at the back called "History of our English Ancestry as told by Isabella Vallentin Leigh," which has details about the Vallentin, Leigh and Lum families but nothing about the Dickermans.
