Notes |
- Death certificate shows parents are father/Furler mother/Godfrey.
I have found five documents with Leah's maiden name; two spell it Furlow (son Eli's marriage record, dau Louisa's first marriage record) and 3 spell it Furler (dau Louisa's second marriage, Leah's Death Certificate, dau Louisa's 3rd marriage). Canadian research seems to indicate the family name was actually Furler. A Civil War Widow's application filled out and signed by Leah Gordon, very clearly gives her maiden name as Furler. See http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rykbrown/furler.htm for information on the Furler family in Canada.
Leah may be a sister to Sarah Furler, daughter of Cornelius Furler and Mary Godfrey. Their ages are 4 years apart, they lived in the same general area and death certificates of each list Furler and Godfrey as parents. Other sources list Cornelius Furler being married to Mary Ann Gallop. Perhaps Gallop and Godfrey, due to spelling or transcription errors refer to the same person or perhaps Cornelius had multiple wives.
Sarah Furler married James Felker. Their son Walter married Mary Gordon, the daughter of James and Leah. In fact Walter and Mary are living next to James and Leah's son Stephen Gordon in the 1880 census. On the same census in the next household are James Felker and Sarah Furler. If Leah and Sarah are sisters, then that would mean that their children are in a first cousin marriage. Perhaps their relationship is something else.
Also of Interest; Judy G has an autosomal DNA match with a descendant of Sarah Furler with 1 segment of 29 cM's in common. If Leah and Sarah are sisters, this would be a relationship of 3rd cousin once removed. If, for example, Leah and Sarah were 1st cousins, this relationship would become 4th cousin once removed. Both of those relationships could be consistent with 29 cM's in common. In any case, I think that we can be certain the Leah and Sarah Furler are somehow related.
