BIOGRAPHY: Excerpt from William Perrin's

"History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison & Nicholas Counties"

On the east side of the Stoner, one of the earliest settlers was Henry Leer, who came here from Virginia, but was originally from Holland. He settled among the very earliest, locating on the land now owned by his grandson David Leer. His son Daniel succeeded him, and he, in turn, was succeeded by his son David, who now owns the place as above stated, it having been in the family ever since its original purchase.

We know that Henry Leer, Sr. died intestate. On the 25th day of August 1802, his son Jacob Lear was again appointed to sell the Maryland property by the widow Ann Lear, and her children Abraham, David, Mary, John, and Rebvecca, with the Latter's husband Aaron Smedley.

BIOGRAPHY: Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots, Vol.3, p. Serial: 8848; Volume: 5 lists gravesite of Henry Leer as Old Cemetary, Hinton home, Pleasant St, Bourbon Co KY 27

BIOGRAPHY: Kenney Database & Pat Gibbs

AKA Henrich Lier/Lehr/Lear, said to be the son of David Lehr and first wife.

Henry Leer first purchased land in Frederick County, MD in 1765. The old Leer graveyard was recently cut in half by a division of the farm and Courtland moved their tombstones to his yard. (9//27/1928, in a letter written by Corday Leer Buckley, Pat Gibbs).

BIOGRAPHY: Personal visit to Paris, Kentucky Cemetary on 9/2/2005 by John Bircher verified that the gravestone of Henry Leer had been moved from the Old Dutch Graveyard to the Paris Cemetary and is located next to the gravestones of David & Charlotte Leer.

BIOGRAPHY: From an article published in The Kentuckian-Citizen newspaper, Paris, Kentucky, in two parts on August 31, 1943 and September 7, 1943. Sponsored by the Jemima Johnson Chapter, DAR in Paris, Kentucky and written by Corday Leer Buckley.

The name Leer is a variant of Lear and this name has traced back to De Leyre, a Celtic word meaning “of the sea.” In Gaelic, it is spelled Lear and in Welch, Liyr. The name is variously spelled Lear, Lehr, Lire, Lohr, Loehr, Lare, Leehr, and Lahar. The first record of the family that we have is from the Hundred Rolls of Leicester County, dated 1273, which concerns William De Leyre. William De Leure, son of William De Leyre, who was buried in the parish church of Great Brumleye, Tuesday after the Feast of the Holy Trinity, 13 June 1367. 40 Edward III.

The Columbia Encyclopedia gives the earliest information concerning this family which is as follows:

“Lear, English legendary king, supposed descendant, through Locrine and Brut, of Aenaes of Troy. Probably originating in early Celtic mythology, the story of Lear and his three daughters was accepted as authentic history from the 12th to the 17th century. Geoffrey of Monmouth claimed to have translated the story from old British records, and succeeding historians and authors perpetuated it. It is best known as the subject of one of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies, King Lear, produced in 1606.”

The Leers came in the very early days from England and many of them were Quakers. Like many co-religionists, certain objections to their religion caused them to emigrate to various countries where they could exercise freedom of thought and speech and so the different members of the family landed in America, some in Virginia, others in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New England.

The Leer family furnished many men who held high positions in the Colonies. Lieutenant Colonel John Lear was a member of the Governor’s Council of Virginia. John, Thomas, and Major David Leare were burgesses of Nansemond County, Virginia. Tobias Lear served as Washington’s secretary. George Lear was Attorney General of Pennsylvania. One of the first emigrants to Virginia was Thomas Leer, age 18 years, who came aboard the Constance, October 24, 1635. Hotten gives the following information, “in a list of owners and possessors of land, hired servants and apprentices, bought servants and negroes in ye parish of St. Michaels – Thomas Leer 234 acres of land, two hired servants; eighteen bought servants, and one hundred and sixty negroes.”

The arms of the Lear family, as given by Burke and others, is Azure, a fease raguly between unicorn’s heads erased. Crest: two hands issuing from clouds, grasping trunk of an oak tree.

The first of the Leer family to come to Kentucky was Henry Leer, who was of the Southern branch of the family. He sold land in Frederick County, Maryland after the Revolutionary War. He served his country in this great struggle as a member of the Continental Troops of Congress’ own Regiment, which was lead by Colonel Moses Hager.

Henry Leer did not dispose of all his property in Maryland before coming to Kentucky because in 1797 he gave his son, Jacob Leer, the following power of attorney with the authority “to transact all my business of every kind whatsoever in the State of Maryland, but more particularly to sell a house and lot in the town of Liberty, in the County of Frederick, in the state aforesaid. I do by these presents authorize my said attorney to sell the house and lot and make and execute deed or deeds for the same in my name and to receive all debts due or which may become due in the state aforesaid; to commence suits in my name and give acquittals for all moneys which he may receive.” This Letter of Attorney was signed Henry Leer, Sr. and witnessed by David Leer and Aaron Smedley and recorded in the books of the Bourbon County Court House.

In book 8, page 349 of Frederick County Deeds recorded in Land Office at Annapolis, Maryland a deed dated June 2, 1807 shows the transfer of property in that county to Ellis Hart by Ann Lear, David Lear, Jacob Lear, Aaron Smedley, and Rebecca his wife, Abraham Lear and Nancy, his wife, John Lear and Catherine, his wife, and Thomas Humphrey and Mary, his wife, heirs-at-law and representatives of Henry Lear deceased, all of Bourbon County, Commonwealth of Kentucky."

Notes for DANIEL LEER:

"An inventory of the estate of Daniel Leer was taken on March 14, 1800 in bourbon county. He must have died in that County although his lands were in Augusta County, Virginia. His brother Jacob and his mother Ann were granted letter of administration of his estate."

"The Leers were probably in Bourbon County when it was a part of Fayette because in Perrin’s history it is stated that they assisted in building the first Court House of Bourbon County. It was a frame building 32 x 20 and was replaced after twenty years by a more commodious one."

“The first church edifice in Bourbon County is believed to have been old Mt. Gilead Methodist Church known as Matheny’s Meeting House. The members were strict and believed not in gaudy geegaws or fashionable toggery with which we ornament our church pews at present. The male members of the church wore their coats without collars and buttoned up to their necks like a little boy’s jacket. Their sisters dressed correspondingly plain. An incident is still remembered which illustrates the strict propriety in dress maintained in this church. A Miss Leer wore a bombazine bonnet to church one Sunday which was beautifully quilted and elegantly fixed up – in a word was a perfect love of a bonnet. But the minister did not think so. He watched for an opportunity, snatched it from her head and casting it upon administered a scathing rebuke upon the ungodly extravagance of dress.” Perrin’s History, page 88. Daniel Leer was the first class leader and acted in that capacity for years at Matheny’s Meeting House. So, one wonders if the Miss Leer, mentioned above, was his kinswoman."

Notes for DAVID LEER, SR.:

BIOGRAPHY: SOURCE: Two part series on the Leer Family of Bourbon County, sponsored by the Jemima Johnson Chapter, D.A.R, written by Corday Leer Buckley, and published in The Kentuckian-Citizen, Paris, Kentucky on August 31, 1943 and September 7, 1943.

"David Leer, son of Henry and Ann Maria Leer, was born in Frederick County, Maryland on June 11, 1769 and was baptized in St. Benjamin or Kreider’s Reformed Church in that county on June 10, 1770 as David Lier, son of Henrich Lier and wife Anna Maria. Jacob Cassell was sponsor. David Leer came to Kentucky with his parents and on December 2, 1794 he married Elizabeth Wright born in Virginia, daughter of William and Martha Wright. Their marriage bond was issued on the 28th day of November, 1794 by Thomas Reeder, clerk of Bourbon County and was signed by David Leer and John Wright who was her brother. They were married December 2, according to their Bible record. In 1808, David Lear and Elizabeth, his wife, deeded to “John McCann a certain part of a lot of ground lying in the town of Paris and County of Bourbon situated on Mulberry Street, lying between Main Street and Pleasant Streets lying on the Southeast side of the aforesaid street and known and distinguished on the general plan of said town by number (14) fourteen to be laid off on the South end of the said lot and fronting Mulberry Street sixty-two feet and three inches.” This deed is attested by William Garrard, Jr. C.B.C."

"On the twelfth day of January 1808, David Leer and Elizabeth, his wife, Jacob Lear and Nancy, his wife, convey to Abraham Latimore the other part of Lot Fourteen, which faced Pleasant Street. On January 12, 1808 David Leer and Elizabeth, his wife, and Jacob Leer and Nancy, his wife, of the County of Bourbon convey to Thomas Otway Allen a certain half lot lying and being in the town of Paris and on Main Street of said town and know in the plan of said town by number fourteen measuring on said Main Street sisty-six feet and measuring back a hundred seven and a quarter feet."

"There are numerous other transfers of land about these dates, on of which is especially interesting because in a memorandum at the end of the deed it says “The land described in this deed made to said David Lear, the twenty-fifth day of June 1800, and ordered to be recorded but by some mistake or defect in said deed it was found necessary to make a new deed for the same land.” This was land bought from John Allen and Jane, his wife, lying on the waters of Stoner."

"David Leer and his wife Elizabeth died and were buried on their farm about two and one half miles from Paris on the Maysville Pike. Their tombstones remained there many years until the farm passed into the possession of others and then these markers were moved elsewhere for safe keeping. The inscriptions on these tombstones read:

Elizabeth, wife of David Leer

Born Dec. 11, 1770

Died March 27, 1844

David Leer

Born June 11, 1769

Died August 6, 1852"

"The will of David Leer made August 18, 1849 ws probated in the September term of Court 1852 with Thomas W. Shepherd and Henry Leer as witnesses."

"David Leer was a delicate man all his life but the care of a devoted wife kept him here until his 83 years....Our David Leer was the first leader of Matheny's Meeting house, the first church in Bourbon, KY. It was very strict - much like Quakers. (Letter from Corday Leer Buckley) He finally left the church over the slavery question. I have heard my grandmother tell the story. You will notice in his will, he frees all his slaves. That was long before the civil wars. (I have the will of David Leer Sr. made on 18 August 1849 and proved on 6 September, 1852. He was the one who freed his slaves." SOURCE: Pat Gibbs, descendant of William Leer, in 1997)

He married CHARLOTTE CORDAY KENNEY 10 Jun 1830 in Bourbon County, Kentucky10, daughter of JAMES KENNEY and MARGARET JOHNSON. She was born 12 Dec 1809 in Bourbon County, Kentucky, and died 14 Jan 1897 in Bourbon County, Kentucky.

Notes for JR. DAVID LEER, JR.:

David Leer Sr. built four identical homes on Jacksontown Pike for four of his sons. David Jr. had silver spoons made from silver money with which to start housekeeping.

My grandfather David was an old man in my childhood and was delicate, but lived to be 83 years old. He was very thin and had black hair and black eyes. He would only drink from a china cup and silver spoon. Was rather vain of his long narrow hands and feet which have been inherited by me and my elder son along with his delicate constitution. He could kill a hawk on the wing when he was 80. He could not only see well, but hear as well and I have heard my mother say he was one of the smartest men she ever saw, altho he was denied a higher education.

David was slender and tall with keen black eyes. He and Corday spent the rest of their lives in the house where they went to housekeeping. Their house was located on the Jacksontown Pike and the house was identical with three others said to have been built by David Leer Sr., for his four sons.

(This and all the information on the Leer's given to the Kenney ancestors by Pat Gibbs, descendant of William Leer, in 1997; Reported by Judith Brumm).

FROM HISTORY OF KENTUCKY AND KENTUCKIANS, E. Polk Johnson, three volumes, Lewis Publishing Co., New York & Chicago, 1912. Common version, Vol III, p.1283 (Bourbon County)

JOHN G. SMEDLEY -- Numbered among the honored citizens and representative business men of Millersburg, Bourbon county, Mr. Smedley is entitled to definite recognition in this publication. He is junior member of the firm of Corrington & Smedley, who conduct a large and prosperous enterprise as dealers in general merchandise and whose well equipped establishment is one of the foremost in the thriving little city of Millersburg.

Mr. Smedley views with a due measure of satisfaction the fact that he claims Kentucky as the place of his nativity and that in both the agnatic and maternal lines he is a scion of honored pioneer families of this favored commonwealth. He was born at Carlisle, Nicholas county, on the 20th of February, 1836, and is a son of Aaron and Catherine (Hughes) Smedley, the former of whom was born in Bourbon county, this state, and the latter in Nicholas county. The father devoted the major part of his active career to merchandising and farming, and both he and his wife were residents of Bourbon county at the time of their death. They became the parents of six children, of whom five sons and one daughter are now living.

John G. Smedley gained his early educational discipline in the common schools of Bourbon county, where he was reared to maturity, and later he was afforded higher educational advantages through attendance at Georgetown College, at Georgetown, this state. Prior to entering this institution he had initiated his experience in connection with the practical affairs of life, as he began clerking in a general store in the city of Lexington when but fifteen years of age. After leaving college he went to the city of St. Louis, Missouri, where he held a clerical position in a mercantile establishment for some time. In 1859 he took up his residence in Millersburg, Kentucky, where he engaged in the general Merchandise business in partnership with his maternal uncle, James M. Hughes. This association was maintained for several years and Mr. Smedley then formed a partnership with James M. Batterton, with whom he continued to be associated in the same line of enterprise until the death of Mr. Batterton, about the year 1882. Shortly afterward he again entered into partnership with his uncle, Mr. Hughes, later he was associated for a time with Alexander Butler, and in 1897 the latter was succeeded by C. W. Corrington. Since that time the business has been successfully continued under the firm name of Corrington & Smedley. Mr. Smedley has the distinction of being the oldest merchant engaged in active business in Millersburg, so far as years of active identification with local business affairs is concerned, and during more than half a century of dealing with the people of this community he has maintained an inviolable reputation for fair and honorable business methods and sterling integrity of character, the gracious result of which has been that no citizen commands a greater measure of popular confidence and respect.

Mr. Smedley has always done his part in the support of measures and enterprises projected for the general good of the community, and while he has never sought or desired political preferment he has accorded a staunch allegiance to the cause of the Democratic party. He is affiliated with Amity Lodge, No. 40, Free & Accepted Masons, of which he is past master, and for the past half century he has been a zealous member of the Baptist church in Millersburg.

At Millersburg, in the year 1861, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Smedley to Miss Martha Boulden, who was summoned to the life eternal in 1872. Of this union were born two children--Claude, who died at the age of two years, and Maude S., who is the wife of Dr. C. Bruce Smith, of Millersburg, of whom specific mention is made on other pages of this work. In 1877 Mr. Smedley contracted a second marriage, having then been united to Mrs. Elizabeth (Boulden) Raines, widow of Dr. Henry Raines, who was one of the representative physicians and surgeons of Bourbon county at the time of his demise, Mrs. Smedley passed away in the year 1892 and is survived by two children born of her marriage to Mr. Smedley--Mary H., who is the wife of Dr. Ernest Boston, of San Antonio, Texas, and Graham B., who is engaged in the practice of law at Midland, Texas, and who is serving as prosecuting attorney of Midland county at the time of this writing, in 1910. The honored subject of this review now resides in the home of his son-in-law, Dr. C. Bruce Smith, and though venerable in years he is alert and vigorous, while he finds pleasure in being surrounded by leal and loyal friends in the community that has been his home and the scene of his well directed efforts during the long period of more than half a century.

Notes for SARAH FRANCES ROGERS:

At time of death, SFF lived at 421 West Olney Ave., Philadelphia, PA. Source: Will of SF Reeves.

In 1880 Census, Sarah Frances (Rogers) Freeman and her two children Mary and John, are living with her father, John Rogers in Midway, Woodford, Kentucky.

According to a letter from Courtney H. Reeves to Claude Freeman, written on 10 Feb 1976, "I remember that she (Sarah Frances Rogers Freeman) told me she wore a money belt during the Civil War, in which the family funds were hidden, because of the idea tha a young woman would be unmolested by enemy soldiers." I also remember our grandmother telling of living in the country, and during a severe winter storm, our grandfather, Dr. Freeman, developed pneumonia and died."

Also from Courtney's letter "Our Grandmother Freeman joined my parents in Philadelphia after they moved there. She was a very energetic woman. In order to support herself, she worked as a saleslady in dept. stores, and as a seamstress on her own. About 1908 or 1909, after buying three lots in Olney, Phila and building and selling three houses, she bought a small property at Lawrence and Olney Ave. This was long on Lawrence St., with a barn behind. She started a home-made bakery shop, and I personallyh worked for her two years, delivering and selling home-made bakeries and bread. I lovingly remember her many thoughtful comments, and today cherish her memory. If you don't remember her, she was handsome - about 5 ft. 6, and erect. Her features were patrician, white hair, kindly of nature, willing to put herself out for anyone, and loved by all."

Recollections of William Lichten, '45, Webmaster, Germantown High School

It just so happens that Mr. Hynson was an English teacher and my soccer coach while I was at Germantown High School! This was from 1942-1945. Attached to this e-mail is a copy from my yearbook of the picture of the athletic council, which included all the coaches, including your uncle.

There were two kinds of coaches. The first consisted of members of the gym faculty, who were athletes of one kind or another. They were professionals and knew their business. But there weren't enough of these to go around, which leads us to the second type. These were academic faculty who were dragooned into coaching various minor teams. They usually had no qualifications whatsoever other than willingness to serve, or more accurately, inability to say no to the principal. Your uncle was of the second type. As far as I could remember, he knew nothing about soccer, nor did most of the team members. Thus showed in our performance. I quote from the yearbook:

"...the free booters concluded a season which, although not unsuccessful, failed to bring any victories home to the halls of Germantown High School. The season was not an unsuccessful one because the boys, besides tying teams from Gratz and Frankford, played a game that, while not crowded with victorious contests, was an epic of sportsmanship."

My recollections of Mr. Hynson were one of a pipe-smoking, tweedy, scholarly man. I never saw him touch the soccer ball with his head or feet, but he tried.

(NOTE: The photo sent by Mr. Lichten also includes "Doc" Zwarg, who I remember as my Uncle Matt's best friend. The two families would often spend the summer together at Dewey Beach, Deleware. jebircher3)

SALLY BIRCHER (Kate Keller)

A Philadelphia girl, Sally has been interested in the Theatre for more years than she cares to remember. However, her most distinguished performance took place 'some time before World War II', as she so aptly puts it, when she appeared with Mae Desmond in Summer Stock at the Newfoundland Playhouse. She has also managed to find time to appear in the Musical Theatre, her favorite production being "The Old Red Mill". "All My Sons" marks Sally's local debut.

Notes for LINDA SUZANNE REEVES:

University President Linda Pettit: Linda Reeves Pettit, 51, Miner Street, Canton, vice president for University advancement at St. Lawrence from August 1996 until August 2001, passed away Tuesday, October 23, 2001, after a valiant struggle with cancer.

Born September 13, 1950, in Erie, Pa., she graduated from St. Mary's in the Mountains High School, Littleton, N.H., and earned a BA in American studies at Middlebury College in 1972. Prior to joining the St. Lawrence community, she was vice president for development at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., and served from 1985 through 1995 in successively responsible positions at The Sage Colleges, Troy, N.Y.

At St. Lawrence, she led Campaign St. Lawrence, which was announced in September 1997 and planned to extend through December 2000. Its $75 million goal was reached one year early, in December 1999, and her leadership helped the Board of Trustees approve an extension of the goal to $130 million by December 2002. Campaign St. Lawrence is helping the University move forward its master plan for increasing the size of the faculty, strengthening opportunities for student-faculty research, and renovating facilities for academics and student development. She also reorganized the divisional staff and added positions in major gifts, advancement services, corporation and foundation relations and Web management, strengthening the University in its service to its students, faculty and alumni.

University President Daniel F. Sullivan, in an October 24 message to the campus community, shared these words: "Each of us who knew Linda Pettit and worked with her felt admiration, respect, awe at the way she sought meaning and understanding, and gave love to others, in the face of the inevitable, horrible prospect that faced her. There is some satisfaction in that, but it is tiny in comparison to the feeling of loss we have this day." She leaves dear friends throughout St. Lawrence University and her adopted North Country home, where she enjoyed many outdoor activities. Her friends extend condolences to her children, Sarah Pettit of Somerville, Mass., and Robert Pettit, a sophomore at Elmira College; her mother, Mary Lou Reeves, of Springfield, Vt.; her father and stepmother, Dick and Barbara Reeves of Isle of Palms, S.C.; four sisters, Hollis Reeves Wilkes '75 of Greenville, S.C.; Elizabeth Reeves Harter of Athens, Ga.; Katherine Jay Reeves of Mt. Pleasant, S.C.; and Patricia Vinci of Lynnfield, Mass.; one brother, David Courtney Reeves, Danville, Cal.; several nieces and nephews; and her partner, Claude Banker, of Canton.

A celebration of Linda Pettit's life was held Saturday, October 27, in Gunnison Memorial Chapel. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy be directed to Linda's Fund, a scholarship established by the University Board of Trustees in her honor, recognizing students at St. Lawrence who discover their academic inspiration while in attendance.

Such gifts may be sent in care of Peter Beekman, Development Office. Notes of sympathy may be sent to her family members in care of Lisa Cania, University Communications, who will forward them.
