1Might be "Seas" (this person's "S's" and "L's" are virtually indistinguishable), but it is definitely not "Sias."
2Mis-indexed in Broderbund database as "Leas" (there are dozens of Lears in the county).
3Indexed in Broderbund database as "Leas," but I can't tell what the last letter is.
4Mis-indexed in Broderbund database as "Lies."
