  • Notes: 

  • Some sources list Leman's given name as Lucian. This may have been due to an error in transcribing Leman's name from the 1870 census record which can easily be misinterpreted as Lucian.

    Some sources list Leman's death as either 24 or 26 July 1872, but his obituary states that he died on Thursday evening which would be 25 July.

    Some sources list the marriage date for Leman Garlinghouse and Martha Ann Spalding as 02 JUN 1841.
