My Grandmother born Cornelia LETSON Ferris 1906 Hoboken NJ, she was called Letty. She said the LETSON was a family name. So far I have not been able to connect LETSON to the FERRIS line. There are other girls named Letty in the Danforth line, so I am hoping to find the LETSON." Update 3 December 2004: "I find that I can trace two prior generation from her to women named Cornelia LETSON. They are named LETTY. The recent New York postings have me wondering if that is where my LETSON is? "

Alexander III, Hudson of Franklin, TN	Southern Branch	halexanderNOSPM@orbitalunderground.net	No - Bounced out Fall 2005	Wondering if anyone out there is researching, or has came across information on, Thomas Letson. I believe he was a judge in Texas and died in the early 1900's (full name might have been Thomas Shields Letson)(?). He must be connected to my ggg-grandfather, Henry Letson from Chester, SC, (B: 1807) (D: After 1870) because I have old, old photos of both Thomas Letson and his wife (although photo only id's her as "Mrs. Thomas Letson"). I also have an old photo of William Letson, who must also be connected to this branch. I believe this William Letson went on further west in late 1800's or very early 1900's.

Their father was also named George Ledson, and I suspect he was born around 1820-1840. My grandfather was in London for a time, though I don't know if this is where he was born. He fathered six children: Reginald, Elsie, Frances, Ivy, Leslie, and Sidney. I am the daughter of Sidney Ledson."
Letson, Alan D. of Columbus, Ohio and Jackson, Wyoming	New Jersey Branch (see James Arthur Letson, Jr.'s update below)	ADLetsonNOSPM@aol.com	Yes	On 13 February 2003, he wrote: “I am Alan Letson and am a descendant of Thomas LETSON b 1725 of the New Jersey Letsons and have a fairly complete lineage of this line, as does Jim Letson in Saginaw, Michigan. Evelyn Letson was my great aunt, wife of my grandfather's brother. This line of Letsons (William Letson m. Allison Chisholm of New York) to whom Evelyn was married left the New Jersey area in the mid 1800's and by train, then wagon helped settle Nebraska in the 1870's. Eve's husband, William Allison Letson and my grandfather, Holton Cleveland Letson resided in Red Cloud, Nebraska. Bill and Eve had two sons, Ron and Mike, but we have lost connection with them about 35 years ago. Both Eve and her husband died in 1996 and are buried in the family plot in the Red Cloud, Nebraska cemetery. Eve was obsessed with Letson genealogy and I'm sure would be thrilled to know about this internet list. If any of the New Jersey Letson's are online, I'd love to hear from you. Jim Letson and I, about 25 years ago crossed paths in our residencies at Ohio State, only to learn by this list last summer that we are related to each other through a common great - great grandfather. Jim has assembled a large amount of info about the New Jersey line. Hope this info fills in a few gaps.”

This I have definite proof however, the fact that his father was George born in Canada 1778, died NY around 1816 is from Twyla Stones book.

Letson, Gary	Ireland	elworrywartNOSPM@aol.com	Yes	Researching his great great grandfather, Samuel LETSON (1803-1871) who married Alice KALEN ( 1811-1901). They both were born in Ireland and died in upstate N.Y. above Albany in the eastern part of the state. His siblings were William (Gary's great grandfather), Thomas ( who fought with the 5th Cavalry Brigade for the North during the Civil War), Samuel Jr. and Eliza. Gary has been told that Samuel Sr. and Alice lived in county Antrim in Ireland. Gary added to this 22 Dec 2002: "Does anyone reading this have any connection to the Letson family in Mooers, NY? There is a John and Margaret Letson along with five offspring listed in the 1850 NY census. Mooers is located in the northeast corner of the state about ten miles from the Canadian border. My line comes from the same side of the state, but to the south and approximately 120-140 miles from Canada in Schroon Lake, Moriah, Crown Point and Ticonderoga. My gg grandparents, Samuel and Alice Letson, came to North America from Ireland after 1842 and probably before 1846. I could not find them among the passengers entering at NY, but there were a couple of marriages to Canadians (from Quebec) so that might be reason enough to assume that they entered through Canada.. They start appearing in the 1850 NY census records. If anyone has any information, it would be greatly appreciated.

Also have some bad photocopies of some handwritten notes from the 1970's that refer to the belief that Robert was the son of one of three immigrant brothers, but no connection has ever been made, just word of mouth stuff.

Potter-Ribble, Cynthia (Cindy)	Southern Branch	konbanwaNOSPM@mail.swbell.net	No-Unsubbed Fall 1999	Shares: "I was adopted when I was 4 days old. I In August 1998, I met my birth-father for the first time. He is Bobby Harold LETSON of Mississippi. He is in the Southern Letson book, and I currently have possession of his copy. I haven't really been able to start researching the name very much, what with the demands of work, and many new relatives to get to know. I feel a bit awkward about announcing myself in this way, but, my Papa is a really wonderful guy who says he'd be very pleased for me to claim him as 'mine'. In a matter of months, I've acquired MANY new family lines to research, and the Letson book, it seems to me, goes out to the sides far more than it goes back. So, when time allows, there seems alot to do there."
Proctor, John of Kansas	Variations with the Surname	maproskiNOSPM@aol.com	Yes	States "The Latson line is one of my main branches, and our family has done considerable research on this line. I have done extensive research using the Early Records of New Orange, Albany, NY. In those records I find the surnames, Lassingh, Lasse, Lassen, and Letson. They often appear in the same document, refering to the same person. The first individual we start with is Pieter Pieterse Lasse, who we have records of coming from Holland. His surname in various documents if Lansingh, and Letson. I have developed a data base using all of these surnames, seperated from my family records, and enter all of the variations on the spelling I find in the libaray. What does your family records indicate on this surname confusion? I am using both the LDS PAF program and Family Tree Maker, and would be happy to supply you with a gedcom file of any family members you would be interested in. Let me hear from you and any information we can share will be appreceated." John recently has discovered a letter in which there are entries from a Peter LETSON's fammily bible. This Peter was born on 4 Oct 1784, died on 28 Dec 1867, he married Elizabeth HANNABERG on 22 Sep 1811. They had 10 children. On of the children, Henry is carried on in the bible. The exciting find for the family is that this Henry's surname is recorded as LATSON! John would be very interested in sharing info with anyone who knows of this Peter.

When she was married in December 1843 it was in Utica, Oneida county, NY. Her brother Henry in the 1850 census also was born in NY.

Their names were Electa Almira, Milton, Mary Jane, Nancy (Nannie), John Irvin and Emma Phinette. Some of these names are unusual and was wondering if maybe they are family names. Does anyone else have these names in their tree?" Then on 22 Jun 2003, Wendy wrote: "I think I may have had a break through on my Emily Letson's family.
