This 1854 copy of the Holy Bible belonged to Daniel Brown Leach (photo at right). He was born October 4th, 1824 and was the son of Elihue Leach (brother of Amos (#33) ) and Marinda Brown. He was the bookkeeper for his father-in-law, William Odell, in Odell's store in Tarrytown, NY. The Bible is presently in the possession of John Aitken Sneden in NC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The page below lists Elihue Leach's birth as March 25th 1797. Below Elihue's name is his wife: Marilda Brown. Other Leaches on this page are believed to be Elihue's children and grandchildren.
