I am a member of the Leyda family and I am researching the branch of the Leyda family that Richard C. Leyda is in. Thank you for this info - I knew that he served in Texas during part of the war. Do you own this book? Could you copy the page & title page? I would appreciate it if you could. I am also going to email this info onto other members of the family who are closely related to Richard C Leyda. Thank you for putting this online. My email address is:
