Hello,
In the will of James Leeper Sr (c. 1695-1765) (https://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000172689871823) one of the beneficiaries is Isiah Curry, who seems to be his son-in-law, in line with the other sons-in-law, who are listed without reference to which of James' daughters they were married to.
Margaret Leeper is listed as a beneficiary, and she appears in geni (Margaret Cole) as the wife of Joseph Cole Jr. The timeline for her profile shows that she and Joseph married in 1776, after her father died (1765). Does anyone have evidence for the date of that marriage, and who the bride and groom were?
I ask because some trees at Ancestry list the wife of Isiah Curry as Margaret Leeper, some list her as Isabel Leeper.
In the tree at geni.com, Isabel Leeper (Isabel Curry) is listed without a husband. Could she have been married to Isiah Curry at the time her father died in 1765?
Does anyone have evidence for a marriage? (Or perhaps for Isabella?)
I am interested in this because Isabel's sister, Jean, married Samuel Henderson, and I am a volunteer genealogist with the Clan Henderson Society. I have been citing the will of James Leeper Sr as supporting the existence of the beneficiaries, and Isabel leaves a question mark in my mind.
Thanks for thinking about this,
Jim
