Edward W. and son John H. League
Hello!
I'm Carol League, not the one in Texas or California.
I am looking for information pertaining to Edward W. League born 1828 in VA. I cannot find information that dates further.As far as I know, I've heard 3 stories.
1.One story is of a William League b. 1660 that came to America in 1680.Tracing back, we are not related to him.
2.The second story is of another William League that came here in 1661.Does anyone have information about this?
3.The third story is of the 5 League brothers. 4 came over to the U.S., one had stayed in France. Eventually, 2 brothers had went back, and 2 stayed. The 2 that had went back to France, had fought against the Revolutionary War, Europe side.
The story is unclear, and the League name is not French supposedly.
Here's another issue.John H. League b. 1857 was adopted by Edward W.and his wife Marion/MarieAnnie. John H. is my g.g.g grandfather. The question is now was he adopted within the family, or from an orphange? If he was adopted from the outside, then, I have another set of family to look for.Does anyone have or know how to obtain this information?It would be greatly appreciated if anyone has any leads.
Thank you very much.
Carol
