• Notes

  He was listed as a prominent resident of Middleton, CT in a newspaper article of unknown title. (F-314N) He was a private in the Civil War, in Company I, Unit 15 of the Connecticut Infantry. (F-17, E) His obituary is very short and listslatives. He is not listed with any wife or children in Clara Forte's pedigrees of the family. This would have been her uncle. She traced her other's descendants on the charts, so I am assuming Leslie had not children.
