The work of James Edward Allen
Richard, we are indeed speaking of the same Peter
Leatherman. He was born January 24, 1795 in PA and died in
Clark County, AR October 13, 1875. He married Mary
Bassett, daughter of William Bassett in Hempstead County,
Arkansas Terr. April 1, 1817. They had a daughter, Louisa
A. Leatherman born 1817 in AR (my gggrandmother). He
married Mary Stillwell bef. 1820. She died December 25,
1829 in Rapides Parish, LA. I have the names of their
children if you need them. He married thirdly, Martha
Thornton Hollomon abt 1833 in Clark County, AR. This is
the "Martha" seen on the 1850 census. Martha was
the sister of Andrew Jackson Thornton who was my Louisa A.
Leatherman's husband. On October 25, 1995 I received a
letter from Thomas E. Leatherman of Stevenson, WA who had
apparently gleaned his data on his family from a Thomas
Hughes, Jr who was Emily Fish Leatherman's grandson. She
was Peter's daughter by Mary Stillwell. He had listed that
Peter had a daughter Louisa but she was listed as being
born abt 1826. This was an estimated date based on an
every 2 year child. He noted that she married a Dave
Wells. I could not find any evidence of such in AR records
or in the census records under Dave or David or D. Wells.
I believe that this is spurious data and that the family
compiler tried to fit Louisa into the child line under
Mary Stillwell. Thomas E Leatherman gives an interesting
dissertation as follows: "As at first it was that he
came from Pennsylvania to Arkansas in 1812, but later, by
newspapers and records and older relation shows he was
born in Germany (note:this is wrong as all census data
indicates that he was born in PA), and brought to this
country when young by his parents. He came to Louisiana
when a baby in the late 1700's. Evidently, he raised his
family there as they were all born there except David, who
by his obituary, shows he was born in Clark County,
AR." There are a lot of errors I believe in this
passage, but the gist is that he did come to LA early on
and on the 1830 census for Claiborne Parish, LA (just
across the border from Arkansas)there are Peter Leatherman,
John Leatherman, and David Leatherman all adjacent to one
another. There is also in that parish a Samuel Leatherman.
Peter is listed as 40-50, David is 20-30, John is 40-50,
and Samuel is 20-30. Even though Peter would have been
only 35 at this time, I believe that this is our Peter.
This may only muddy the water, but it is intriguing! Doug

WELCOME COUSIN: THOMAS STILLWELL LEATHERMAN, son of Peter
and Mary Stillwell was my link to Peter. My recollection is
that the 1830 Clark Co.,Ark, census showed Peter there with
the children. I will have to relook at my info. I know Peter
married a martha Bassett but the information I have indicated
after Mary's death.(?) Thomas Leatherman's info was based on
info gathered from Hughes or others who thought Peter came
from Germany. About David Leatherman- brother to Thomas: I
believe he was older and think Mary was his mother also.
Thomas married Mary Logan and had a daugher Catherine
Elizabeth. Thomas served in the civil war, first in Arkansas
(Dawson's 16th Infantry regiment, and maybe later with
Crawford's Arkansas cavalry--Later after being wounded,
Thomas was stationed in Texas as a gunsmith at the Tyler
Texa Arsenal. He is listed in the book "Confederate
Arms" by William Albaugh and Edward Simmons (Bonanza
Books, NY) as T S Leasherman (Guess they couldn't read his
writing) listed as a private in Co. A, Dawsons Regiment
(19th Ark) from January 1865. Thomas, David and Catherine
Eliz. took the Oregon trail and homedsteaded at the end of
the trial. __? county. David may have preceded Thomas to
Oregon. Catherine married my Grandfather there ane are shown
living with Thomas.
I have more but haven't looked lately. Be glad to refresh

????. Look in the All Leatherman Kin History Book.

4. Frederick John4 Leatherman, Jr. (Frederick Jacob3, Godfried/Gottfried2
Lederman, Johsnnea1 Ledermann) was born Abt. 1758 in Maryland,
and died 1838 in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. He married (1) Rachel.
He married (2) Polly Lastly August 21, 1797 in Shelby County,
Kentucky. He married (3) Mary
Polly Davis Tompkins March 21, 1824 in Putnam County, Indiana,
daughter of John Davis and Elizabeth Shafer.
Notes for Frederick John Leatherman, Jr.:
Frederick Leatherman, Jr. left home when 18 to join Rev. War
(1776-1783) and was present at the defeat of St. Clair. After
the war he went to Betsey's in Louisville. He lived in Shelby
and Nelson County, Kentucky; Bullit County; Then Clark County,
Indiana which was later named Floyd County.
History of Putnam County, Indiana by Weik: Frederick (Farrow
Farm) Madison Tennessee. Died returning home from
Lawrenceburg.
Frederick is also listed in the All Leatherman Kin History. He
is listed in the chapter of A Kentucky Leatherman Family. The
story goes as follows from this book. About the year 1818,
when the Kentucky Leatherman Settlement seems to have burst
like a bubble, a Leatherman family, together with
other settlers, migrated from KY. to Putnam Co., Ind. The
story is told that the head of this Leatherman family, though
only 17 years old at the out-break of the Revolutionary War,
joined the Continental Army and served to the end of the war
and that upon his return home he learned that all the
other members of his father's family had been killed, probably
by Indians. His Christian name could not be learned. He was
apparently b about 1758 and therefore considered of the third
generation. Probably he was a never relative of some of the
other Leatherman settlers of KY., but this could
not be definitely determined, nor whether he was a native of
Ky. for some time before departing for !
Ind.
There were at least five children and perhaps more in this
pioneer family. Children where Abraham, John, Daniel, Emily,
Bland.
As you can see from my research there were 8 children in this
family. Abraham is the connection for us. I received this
information from one of the other Leatherman descendants. Her
name is Effie Leatherman. She has traveled to Putnam and other
important locations to find this information for
us.
Another update on Frederick John Leatherman, born maybe in
Maryland, left home, Army in opposition to his father's
wishes; was present at the defeat of General St. Clair (1).
(His expedition against the Indians met with a most disastrous
defeat, November 4, 1791, near headwaters of the Wabash,
the battlefield known as Ft. Recovery- now Mercer County,
Ohio) and was reported to have taken part in a number of other
battles and had many narrow escapes during his thrilling
experiences on the frontier. He settled around the Louisville,
KY area near some of his family, (sister Betsey). On
August 21, 1797 in Shelby County, KY he married Polly Lastly
and they lived in Shelby, Nelson, & Bullitts Counties, KY,
before moving to Floyd County, Indiana by 1820; by 1822 they
lived in Putnam County, Indiana, where he made a land entry.
Polly died about 1820-1823, Indiana, and Frederick
married 2nd time March 21,1824, Putnam County, Indiana, Mary
Polly Davis Tomlinson, a widow. She was the !
daughter of John and Elizabeth (Shafer) Davis; she died around
1830-1834, Putnam County, Indiana, and he married a 3rd time
to Rachel________. He died suddenly in 1838, at the age of 66,
on the road home from La
wrenceburg, Indiana. In a Putnam County, Indiana Land
Conveyance, dated May 13, 1839 the Heirs of Frederick are

Marriage Sina; 3rd marriage Jasper. - - - - E L E; E W T
