  DESCENDANTS OF JOHN LEECH, b. 1768, SC
 I have used the generous contributions of many distant cousins to create this family tree. I do not show people past Generation 7 because I know enough living members of Generation 8. Some of them have contributed to this document. If you could correct, extend, or augment this family tree, please contact me (Steve Leech) at [email protected]@worldnet.att.net. Thanks. Last Update: 30 Ju1 2001
  "The John Leech whose descendants we trace here is the son of a John Leech who died in Spartanburg County, SC in 1799. Anna Laura Griffith has published a book, "LEACH - LEECH 1700-1985". Three other sons of John Leech of Spartanburg, SC moved to Livingston County, KY either before or shortly after 1799, and she has the most information on those sons. The material Anna gathered in South Carolina also provides clues as to the relationship of this Leech family with the Leeches in neighboring York County, SC. It seems reasonable to assume that they are all cousins, but we may never know their precise relationships. Anna will mail you her book if you write her at 940 Poyners Chapel Rd., Mayfield, KY, and enclose a check for $25. " Anna, however, has only about a half a page of information about this John Leech, on page 75. I follow Anna's generation numbers.
  I especially wish to thank my cousin Charlotte Mazurik, who provided the nucleus of this compilation. Generation No. 0
  possibly, JOHN LEECH and SUSANNAH McILHENNY. I assume that this is an immigrant couple from Ulster, of Scots descent, who arrived in Philadelphia.
  Sources: John Cooper, family oral tradition, and Larry Clayton . Larry Clayton believes that the LEECHes emigrated from Strabane, County Tyrone. Certainly, one of the up county South Carolina Leeches gave his birthplace as Strabane.

  All this is consistent with one couple that settled near Rowletts, KY in the late 1790s and died in the 1840s. The next John Leech to appear in the census (1850) of this part of Kentucky (Barren Co., KY) was John Beaucamp Leech, who is this couple's grandson.
  Children of JOHN LEECH and ELEANOR McHENRY LEECH are:
  i. SIMEON LEECH, b. Abt. 1775.
 ii. JAMES LEACH, m. POLLY JOHNSTON 24 Jul 1807, Barren County, KY;
  2. iii. HENRY LEECH, b. June 02, 1794, probably Spartanburg County, SC; d. January 29, 1849, Hart Co. Ky. 55y 7m 26 d.

  4. v. WILLIAM LEECH. b. 179x, either Spartanburg County, SC, or Hart County, KY, d. about 1830.. He married MARY UNKNOWN. She was born 04 Feb 179x, and died 04 May 184x. She is buried in the Leech Cemetery, Rowletts, Hart County, KY. I believe William may also be buried there, but his grave is not marked. I also believe this is the same Mary Leech who appears as a head of household in the 1840 census of Hart County.
  5. vi. JOSEPH LEECH, b. August 03, 1798, probably Woodsonville, Barren (later Hart) County KY; d. March 13, 1872, Union, Hardin Co. Ia bur Shepard cem. NW of Union. 73y 7m 10da.

 x. son, born 1803 or 1804. See 1820 census. It's possible that this is William (see above), and his wife Mary is several years older than him.
  Other people probably not children of JOHN and ELEANOR LEECH x. LILLY ANN LEECH, b. 1807?. She is listed as the daughter of JAMES and CELIA LEECH. I suspect a transcriptional error here, that this is a daughter of JOSEPH and CELIA TURPIN LEECH, and she belongs (as you will find her) in Generation No. 5. The source for this is Gorin, Hart County Deaths. However, see 1810 census listing.

I suspect she is a sister of PETER OWEN, the husband of TABITHA LEECH. Here she is in the 1860 Census of Hart County, KY, District No. 1, page 3, lines 29-32 (Post Office Horse Cave, microfilm p. 723). This household follows the household of R and ANN E HARPER, where one can find MARTIN VAN BUREN OWEN.

  Notes: i. and ii. from Charlotte don't work. If SIMEON4 LEECH (i.) is John Leech�s son, the date is wrong, if it is his brother, he is not mentioned in the will of John Leech, died 1799, Spartanburg, SC. Same for (ii.). John Leech did have a brother James, who settled in Caldwell County, KY (then part of Livingston Co.), and married a Martha Drennan in Livingston Co., KY, March 11, 1806. James appears to be in Spartanburg County, SC in the 1800 census.
  JAMES and SIMEON are family names (watch out for them below). ix. could be one of these people, so the date of birth for one of these men would be these men. The names JOHN SIMEON, JOSEPH SIMEON, and JOHN S. appear more than once below, and I suspect thati x. was JOHN SIMEON LEECH, given name SIMEON, and may have died in the 1820s. Alternatively, both of these men might be born in the early 1790s or even the late 1780s, so they might have moved west before the 1810 or 1820 census.

  Notes for ASEL LEECH:
  1820 Hart Co Ky census Ansel Leech. Next household after John Leech. However, this means that the original enumerators encountered no heads of household whose last name began with L between those two households. It does not necessarily suggest that they lived in the same area of Hart County. It's possible that this is a LEACH from Adair County; that family tends to use mostly Old Testament names.

  ID: I2487
 Name: William Drennon , Sr.
 Sex: M
 Birth: 8 MAR 1738/39 in Cumberland County, PA Death: 24 JAN 1810 in Fleming County, Kentucky
 Note:
 A good source of information about the Drennon family has been, The History of the Early Settlers of Sangamon County, Illinois, Centennial Record. This book contains a a number of biographical statements about some of the sons of William Drennon, Sr. who settled in Illinois. The information was undoubted supplied by later generations of the Drennan family who knew that their ancestor, Joseph Drennan, was born in Pendleton County, South Carolina. Unfortunately, they or the editor of the articles assumes that Joseph Drennan's older siblings were also born in South Carolina which is not true. William Drennon, Sr. was born 8 March 1739 in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. About 1760 he married Sarah Barnes who was born about 1742. During the Revolutionary War William Drennon served as a Private in Capt. William Findly's Company during March 1776. Later he served in the Company of Capt. Robert Samuel in the 8th Batallion dur-ing May and June of 1782. Both were companies of the Pennsylvania Militia.
  "Children of William and Sarah Barnes Drennon who were born prior to 1782 were born in Pennsylvania, not South Carolina. We do not know when the Drennons moved to the Pendleton District of South Carolina except that they were there at the time of the 1790 census at which time their household consisted of five males over the age of 21, three under 21, and five females. We do not have a complete list of the Drennon children but clearly John S., born 1766, William, Jr., born 1768, David, Thomas, born 1771, along with several daughters were born in Pennsylvania. The article about the Drennans of Sangamon County, Illinois says that Joseph was born in 1786 in Pendleton County, South Carolina and that his mother was the second wife of William Drennon, Sr. If this is true then it may well be that Sarah Barnes Drennon died in Pennsylvania sometime after 1771. Later William married a second time and then, sometime between 1782 and 1786, moved his family to South Carolina. The second wife of William Drennon, Sr. is believed to have been the mother of his last five children."
  "Nine children and it would appear that there may have been two or three others. Sarah Barnes was the mother of John S., William, Jr., David, and Thomas and probably of one or more daughters. William Drennon's second wife is said to have been the mother of his last five children, Joseph, Martha, Andrew, James and Samuel."
  " William and Sarah Barnes Drennon were also the parents of Hugh Drennan, another Revolutionary soldier, who applied for a pension on 5 March 1834 in Fleming County, Kentucky. Hugh Drennan states in his application that he enlisted in the army in 1776 in the town of Shippensburg in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania and that he served until he was discharged in April 1777. He then stated that he volunteered a second time from Cumberland County in April 1778, this time serving in the Company of Capt. William Finly in a Regiment commanded by Col. Abraham Smith. This Hugh Drennan, was 72 years of age at the time he applied for a pension and was thus born about 1762. This makes him the right age to have been an older son of William Drennon, Sr. who was also from Cumberland County, Pennsylvania and who also served in the Revolution in the Company of Capt. William Finley, although at a slightly different time. This theory also explains why William Drennon, Sr. is said to have died 24 January 1810 in Fleming County, Kentucky. He was probably living with or near his son, Hugh Drennan."
