General Notes: Husband - James Leech
After marriage he settled on a farm in Smith township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. In 1812 he entered the war of that period, serving under Harrison throughout the campaign. In politics he was a Whig, first a Jackson man; but changed on the bank question, and took a very active part in the campaign preceding the election of President Harrison. He was an enthusiastic admirer of his older leader, and did all in his power to secure the election of the sturdy, fearless veteran. In 1818 Mr. Leech was appointed a justice of the peace, filling that office twenty-two years, during which time his rulings were invariably sustained by the higher courts. He and his wife were members of the Seceder Church and then of the Union Church, to which he contributed liberally, having given the land for a church at Mt. Vernon before the project was abandoned, owing to disorganization. He was a ruling elder in the Seceder Church and of the Associate Union Church during his life.
