Name Samuel Lessley Birth circa 1734 County Antrim, North Ireland 
Birth circa 1734 County Antrim, Ireland Born circa 1736 County Antrim, North Ireland Gender Male Died Nov 1786 Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, USA Buried Church Cemetery, Old Waxhaw Presbyterian Church Notes - "Samuel Lessley and wife emigrated from North Ireland to Pennsylvania and in the early or middle 1760s joined the movement south to the Waxhaw region. The Leslie home site was in South Carolina until an eleven mile strip of land in which it was situated was ceded to North Carolina, a boundary change which was initiated by a survey in 1771. It appears that Samuel Leslie remained in the area until sometime after 1800 before he started the first step in his migrations to live with his children. By 1820 the Leslie name seems to have disappeared from the Census rolls of Lancaster County." from Early Leslies in York County, SC by Vice Admiral Marion Emerson Murphy.
