Searching for the John Leadbeater Jr. Family of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (b: c1781 England)

They owned Leadbeater & Company which made exquisite Argand style Lamps until 1832. They were in the 3rd and Walnut Street area's in the downtown area of Philadelphia.

John travelled frequently back to England during the early 1800's. They appear to have come to Philly by 1809.

John's wife Mary was born about 1801 and they had at least 8 children:
Joseph b:1823 england,
Mary b:1825 England,
Alfred b:1826 England,
Thomas b:1831,
Henry / Harry b:1832,
Caroline b:1838,
James b:1835,
John b: 1844
The first 3 are believed to be born in England, but the others were either born in England or Philadelphia.

I am looking for info on Jacqueline Lebeters family. The name Black comes up in her family. I know she was born on December 2nd or 3rd , had a twin brother named Jack, lived in Chicago, was raised by her grandmother, (I believe her fathers mother) was in an institution in Chicago (? but know it was in IL) because she was an epileptic, married to a man with the last name of Melton & had 2 children by him named Susan & Lee Melton.

She then met Leonard D. Bomkamp a former Naval man during WW2 & had 2 sons named Richard D. Bomkamp & Patrick L. Bomkamp. Both Leonard & Jacqueline moved to Milwaukee, Wi where their sons were born. They had a common law marriage in Chicago but not in Milwaukee. Jacqueline died I believe a year after Leonard in 1996. She had many health problems (like Leonard) & had cancer at one time.

I know the following about Leonard D. Bomkamp:

Bomkamp, Leonard D, b. 02/15/1926, d. 06/17/1995, US Navy, MOMM3, Res: Milwaukee, WI, Plot: E 0 176, bur. 06/22/1995 (Wood National VA Cemetery)

I am looking for info on Leonard. I beleive he was born in Chicago, IL His fathers name was August Bomkamp. Leonard has or had a brother named Gil. (Chicago) Leonard was married before he met Jacqueline. He had no children with his first wife. Leonard had 2 sons named Richard D. Bomkamp & Patrick L. Bomkamp both still reside in Milwaukee, Wi. Leonards companion & mother to his 2 sons was Jacqueline Lebeter.
