Thanks for your reply.I'm still stumped with Levi.Other than military records, there's no record that I have found for his marriage and family.I can't find spouse Margaret's maiden name and only have Amanda documented via her death certificate that Levi was her father.Levi's brother, David, married a Joanna/Johanna/Joannah Riker who MAY be Amanda's sister or other kin but I find nothing on Joanna either.Levi was awarded a land grant in 1918 in the Northwest territory and I suspect he died "out west".His widow, Margaret thus married a neighbor of her son-in-law, Thomas W. Penn (husband of her daughter, Amanda)...as learned by reading pages of the West Bloomfield, NJ census reports.
Thanks again, and if you should have any additional information, I'd appreciate that.I do have families for Levi's siblings, David, Henry and sister Caty (Catrina) who married Moses Conklin.
