Levi and Margaret Janney Of
Maryland Little is known of Levi and
his wife Margaret. It took over a year of searching to come up with their names.
Although I can not positivly prove their connection through official records the
evidence I have leads me to this conclusion.
According to census records Levi
was born in Maryland about 1795. He and his wife Margaret have six known
children. One of which is my ancestor Thomas. All these children were born in
Maryland as far as I know.
