Leslie Genealogy
Before I begin to outline this information in detail, I must identify my family sources (thus far), since a wealth of my information has been pooled from my data as well as other family members. They are:
- Glenna McBride of Canada
- Brian Anton of USA
- James (Jim) Leslie of USA
- Patricia Leslie of Canada
- Samuel Leslie of Canada
- John Leslie of USA
- D. Alex Leslie of Canada
- Edna Roberts of Northern Ireland
- Leslie Ruth Ball of Canada
As you can see, my family spread pretty far from Northern Ireland. There is a strong possibility that at least one of the offspring of this family made his/her way to Australia but that hasn't yet been proven. Only family hearsay at this time.
William's siblings are yet a bit unclear. I have one positive identification. His name is Moses Leslie. Proof has been provided by James Leslie through family correspondence. Another individual may be unrelated, a brother or a cousin. His name is James Leslie - circa 1799 and his name was provided by Brian Anton.
I am continuing my research.
William was married to Rosanna McNeight on December 31, 1830 in Castledawson, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Their children were:
 | Alexander - Oct. 24, 1831
| Eliza Ann - Dec. 16, 1833
| Sarah Jane - Feb. 24, 1836
| Thomas - Sep. 21, 1838
| Samuel - Mar. 1, 1841
| Mary - July 27, 1843
| Nancy - Apr. 14, 1853

So far, an abbreviated pedigree through to myself looks like this:
- William Leslie / Rosanna McNeight
- Thomas Leslie / Elizabeth Hudson
- Alexander Leslie / Elizabeth Campbell
- Ruth Leslie / Leon Wilcox
- Harold Leslie Wilcox / Barbara McWhorter
- Leslie Wilcox / Wayne Seich
