Welcome to the Leland genealogy. Family units are arranged alphabetically by the first name of the father (or single-parent mother). Links are provided to enable you to move up and down each lineage. To follow a line back in time (ancestors), click on the underlined portion of "(son of ...)" or "(dau. of ...)" beneath the name of the person you want to trace back. To follow a line forward in time (descendants), click on the name of the person whose offspring you want to see. A plus sign (+) following a name means that that person had one or more children, but that family group has not been added to this web page. A link to documentation and notes, when available, is given below each family.
All information, especially source material, for inclusion in this web page should be sent to info@vfthomas.com or mailed to "Mount Desert Island Genealogy; V. F. Thomas Co.; P. O. Box 400; Southwest Harbor, ME 04679". And, of course, please report all errors.

The earliest Leland families to live on Mount Desert Island were those of Ezra and Ebenezer L., both recorded in the first book of Eden [now Bar Harbor] records and in the 1790 census. Both Ezra and Ebenezer L. took the "oath of allegiance" to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as an obligation of being a resident of Mount Desert—Ezra at the 17 March 1789 meeting at the home of Abraham Somes and Ebenezer L. in 1790.
