Shared note	Notes by Florence Hadley Heynen 4 Mar. 1987: Application for letters of Administration Henry S. Leffman, Deceased Florence Hadley Heynen uncovered a petition headed thus. She wrote: I was surprised that the name of the petitioner was what looks like Sarah Narley but it could be Harley. Anyway she says she is the mother of Henry. Henry was the second child of Sarah and Henry Lefman. I knew he died 26 Oct. 1867, according to Grandma Clara's notation and buriwed on the 28th. He was 29 yrs. 11 mos. Sarah says he was unmarried and that she, George, emma, Robert, Minnie, & Alice survived him. He left no will. All the children were minors except George who was full age. I do not have a record of Alice at all. She is mentioned by Sarah in their petition, but is not named as being under the protection of the guardian (below). I wondered if Sarah had married again after Henry's death in 1860, maybe briefly, and then became a window again. Do you recall that the Orphans Court Record for the minor children Emma, Robert, Amelia, and Albert shows their guardian to be James Benson and I wondered why. This was in 1865. Perhaps Sarah married the second time about this date and to protect the children a guardian was appointed. But Sarah would not have been married long because she signed the petition (Admin papers) in 1867
Shared note	Henry Lefman — View this family Florence Hadley Heynen wrote 5 Feb 1985: "I have a copy of the Orphans Court Records for four of the Lefman children including Aunt Minnie. Since Sarah Lefman outlived her husband (she married Henry Lefman in New York in 1836) who died March 9, 1860, and she died Nov. 14, 1881, I do not know the reason or situation for her to relinquish guardianship of these minor children, two of whom were under 14, including Aunt Minnie. I hope that Henry Lefman left a will but ihas not been found yet. The guardianship record is dated in 1865-66 and at that time the guardianship was awarded to James Benson of Hoboken on her petition."
