Elijah Leighton, Jacob Leighton (father)
Please reply to my main email, [email protected].
I have a huge block in my research, here it is:
I have a Jennie Mae Leighton, who married Alfred Ault (my great great grandfather)
Her father was Elijah Leighton, civil war vet, 15th Regiment US Infantry, Reg Army, Company B,D, Private.
He was born c. 1848 and it seems I have found a census with him, and his father and mother in PA. It shows a Jacob Leighton, and Nancy as his mother.
Lets just say, this is the right line, and all my research is correct... Wheres Jacobs parents?
I have a few census records between Elijah and Jacob, and they all show a different birth place for Elijah. They are Mass, New Hampshire, New York, Maine... Im so lost.
Another thing to keep in mind is that Elijahs middle name is Lyman, which may have some sort of relevence in this situation.. Please let me know if you guys know anything!!
