Solomon Leighton

Biography:

Married Sarah Varney on 26 Jun 1759 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA

Our Family Accounts for these Children; from 3 family Sources in Jessie's Journal. One source From Benjamin Leighton branch, my Great Grand Mother Jessie Garey (Hogle) his Grand daughter . Nathan Leighton, Sr.from Benjamin Leighton Branch his son, and Alice Adelia Fowler (Leighton) from Moses's Branch his Grand daughter. None of these births were recorded, and only now with the advent of the Internet can I find these people they had listed and put the puzzle together, way back then they used snail mail. But that said, if they hadn't put it all down back then I would have never been able to put this together.

This is the status of the Journal (5 Dec 2015)

I would like to also note with the Pelatiah "Piltar" Leighton Branch currently coming from a Private family Member in Phoenix, AZ from our Myheritage Tree, has the same Line back to Solomon. And Just today I made contact with Solomon's Brother Benjamin's Branch on findagrave. We are looking for information on the Maine Grave sites. It may take Years but we will find then.
