Biography* A Leslie family researcher, Coral Betty Lindamood of Harlingen, TX, wrote 4 that she believed but could not prove that Joseph Leslie and Mary Calhoun were the parents of Sarah Leslie and that Sarah was born in North Carolina. Betty thought that the Leslie family moved from North Carolina to Georgia sometime between 1822 and 1828. Another Leslie family researcher, Margaret Bee, believed that the family had moved from North Carolina to Georgia and that Hugh Malcolm Leslie, John A. Leslie, and Daniel Leslie had moved on to Panola Co., TX around 1850.5

Sarah died shortly after the birth of her 11th child and not long after the family had moved to Alabama.
