Legg Family History
Unofficial Family Gossip

Legg heirs can share $50,000,000.  This family fortune dates back to 1313 in England beginning with Thomas Legg, who was Sheriff of London in 1343 and later Lord Mayor.  A complete descendant line must be proven and secure in order to allow disbursements to occur.   

The English family history is complete, traced through the Earl of Dartmouth.  The American branch is in question, headed by John Legg.  John had two sons; William Legg and Thomas Jefferson Legg.  The descendants of these two brothers are now being sought.   

The key to this lineage lies in a family bible, last heard of in Cincinnati, Ohio.  However, it is believed the bible was burned in a church fire.   

Is the fire story true??  Is it worth giving up part of $50,000,000 to stop trying to find the bible??  If you find the bible, be sure to include me as a descendant.   

If you have a story about the family, I would be interested in hearing it.
