I see this thread was a while ago but I am interested in the Leathers name.... our William G Leathers b. 16 Sept 1836 NC died 20 apr 1883 and is buried in the Mount Antioch Cemetery, Limestone County, Texas .... there are several other Leathers families buried in this cemetery ... one of which is Stewart Leathers b. 24 Jan 1838 died 13 Nov 1908.... I was trying to determine if all these Leathers were somewhat connected.... you mentioned that the father of Stewart Leathers was Josiah Leathers born in KY.... do you happen to know who his father was? Might he be the brother of James Leathers who married Elizabeth Forrester? I don't know where James was born but I do know he died in North Carolina and all his children were born in North Carolina....
