Edwin Leydecker b. about 1820 married Esther (Hester) Ann Rideout b. about 1825. Both came from and were married about 1850 in NB,Canada where the first several of their 11+? children were born including Marsha(Marsaline)1854,George Amassa1856 and Olive1858.
They moved to Mars Hill ME and more children were born including David R(Trueworthy)1860, Margay Jenifer1862,Elvira1864, Prudence1866, Grace1868, and three who died as infants.
