Leslie papers

A selection of letters, deeds and papers of the family of Leslie of Tarbert.
In private ownership.
This selection focuses on the Lindsay family. The family of the husband of Letitia Blennerhassett of Tarbert.

Since discovering that Letitia Blennerhassett of Tarbert is not my ancestor, these papers have become largely irrelevant to my research.
But I leave them up as a service to other researchers.

The earliest paper:
[Note of Jan 1786] shows Joseph Lindsay of Tarbert trying to collect a debt on 5 Dec 1785 in Co.Limerick on behalf of "Edward Leslie, Esq" (the Baronet before his title in 1787) as his agent.
See larger and full size.
