I am interested in information about John William Lasley, he changed his surname to Leslie sometime prior to his marriage to Stella Smith in 1871. He was born on June 16, 1847 to Menoah Lasley and Elizabeth Vawter in Stokes, NC. He died in Inverness, MT on Aug. 14, 1918.
I am especially interested in any military records that can be confirmed and also information about his life after he left his family and moved to Montana shortly after his last son George was born in 1893
