You mention a John Leighton too. I have a third great uncle John Leighton from England. He was the son of Richard Leighton of Duddeston, Birmingham, England. My third great uncle John Leighton had the following siblings: Rhoda, Richard, Roseanna, Tom, William and Isaac. Isaac Leighton was my second great grandfather, born May 21, 1828, Birmingham, England, died 1911 in Oakland, Maryland; married Elizabeth Vernon Leighton in 1849 in Saint Paul's and Saint Peter's Church, Aston Parish, Birmingham, England. Both Isaac and Elizabeth lived in Duddeston before marrying. They immigrated to America by boat from Liverpool, England in 1851. The father of Isaac and John and their other siblings appeared to have stayed behind in England. I am speculating that he {Richard Leighton the father of the siblings named above} may be buried in a graveyard in Aston Parish or in Duddeston. Do you think this is the same John Leighton you refer to? Read all of the notes I have posted on the Leighton on the genforum. To get a list of my post, just click on my name within any given post I have on the forum. Maybe you can find something helpful within them.
