I have found an Edward Leister, b. 21 Jan. 1817, Maryland, d. 19 Aug. 1872, Fulton Co., Illinois. Unfortunately I have no source recorded for the info. I have his wife as Susannah Freezer, b. 22 Aug. 1821, Maryland, d. 22 Sep. 1889, no location recorded. Marriage date 17 April, 1843, location unrecorded. Edward was a son of David E Leister (1770-1859) and Rachael Nicodemus and grandson of Johann "John" Nicholas Leister and his wife Anna Marie Drollinger and of Johann Henrich "Henry" Nicodemus and his wife Anna Maria Elizabeth Baile (whose brother Peter is the ancestor of the Bailes of Maryland). I don't know who the Freezer ancestors are, but would guess this is an alternate spelling. Hope this is a match for you...
