Excerpt from A Short Biography of John Leeth: With an Account of His Life Among the Indians John Leeth's father was a native of Leith, Scotland; his mother, of Virginia - pious folk, but like most American pioneers of that day, poor in purse. He himself was born on the Pedee River, in South Carolina, March 15, 1755. The father died before John's birth, and the widow passed away when their child was five years old. The charge of an uncle, the lad was early apprenticed to a tailor, who moved with him to Charleston, whence after two years he ran away. Wandering to Little York, Penn sylvania, he bound himself to a farmer whom he served for the full term of four years, after which, in his eighteenth year, he hired out to a Pittsburg fur-trader, which adventurous occupa tion he followed for nearly twenty eventful years.
