      I am sooo excited to hear from you. Recently I took a class genelogy class & bitten by the bug. A little background.
      We live about 30 miles from Callands which I think is where Leanna is buried.
      My grandfather, Henry George Motley married Leanna & had 3 sons, Charlie, Richard & John. Charlie died as a child. Richard & John were both given land for a home from the family farm. Both are deceased but had children. I can get the names if you would like.
      Henry married Lou Arrington & their oldest child was born in Oct. 1907. These would be my grandparents. Henry was born July 9, 1871 & died Nov. 27, 1938.
      Do you have any information on Henry's brother that married Leanna's sister? My grandfather died before my parents married so I have never known his family.
      Merry Christmas
      Janet Mitchell
