Leah CHILCOTT

1823 - 1868  (44 years)

• Name	Leah CHILCOTT
  Birth	8 Nov 1823	Lost River, Hardy Co., West Virginia   [1, 2, 3]
  Gender	Female
  Death	1868	Westernport, Allegany Co., Maryland   [4, 5]
  Notes	Leah at the time of her marriage was 26, five years older than her new husband. By the time her last child, Charlotte, was born Leah was 44 years old. Little Charlotte died soon after her birth. I believe, based on the age of Leah, the death of the infant and the fact that Harrison was remarried by 1869, that Leah died of complications of childbirth. I suspect she died following the birth in 1867 or at least early in 1868. As to the place of death, I think a search should be done in Hardy Co., WV or Allegany Co., MD. UPDATE: Recently located information indicates that another child was born to Leah & Harrison after Charlotte. Fanny was born in 1868 in Allegany Co., MD and died after 1870 but prior to 1880. With this new information, I strongly suspect Leah died and is buried in Allegheny Co, MD Ref: Family records and papers located in the family Bible. Interviews with Fanny Ethel Santmyer Rowley. Information contributed by Fred M. Chilcott, Glenn Santmyer, Gerilee Santmyers and Jan Jennier. Rockingham Co., VA courthouse records (See Wm. Harrison Santmyer) Note: Information contributed by Izetta Barbour (source Colleen Zak) gives Leah's year of birth as 1836 and Harrison's as 1829. Colleen obtained this information from the 1860 VA census for Wardensville, Hardy Co.
