Shared note	Sarah Lennington Thorne — 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."
