William Lease Sr. in ILL.
In searching a probate for my John Brewer who died in Menard County Illinois in 1835, I found a William LEASE Sr purchasing a gun on the probate sale lists in Nov 1835.Now does anyone know about this William Lease and where he fits on the Lease tree?I do have a William Lease born in WVA and died in Ohio alittle after 1850.So doubt he made a journey to Menard county Ill to buy a shotgun. I was most definitely surprised to see this name on this probate.
