During that time the family moved from Cabarrus County, NC to Perry County, Illinois.
Leah Dry was twice married. On 28 April 1828, Leah Dry married a young man called Weston Jenks in Cabarrus County, NC.
I found their marriage bond stating that this marriage took place; but, very little information beyond the marriage. John F. Dry the father of Leah Dry is named Bondsman for this marriage.
On 2 November 1852, Leah Dry married a widower, Jacob House, whose wife Elizabeth “Betsy” Freeze had passed away on 6 Jul 1852. To this union was born one child, a son.
- i. Thomas Roland House, born 14 Jul 1854, Perry County Illinois; married Sarah Lipe; died 18 Mar 1938, Perry County Illinois.
Leah Dry House is my 2nd Cousin 4 times removed.
