Maryanna Leverich is a Mayflower descendent. Maryanna's mother was Anna E Snow, and Anna's father was Freeman Snow Jr. died 1784. Freeman's father Freeman Snow Senior, lived in Sandisfield, MA and was born in Eastham, Massachusetts and his father Samuel Snow was descended from Mayflower passengers Stephen Hopkins and William Brewster (see Silver book). After moving from Sandisfield, MA, the two Freeman Snows appear in the census of Windham NY. They then appear in the following United States Census in New York but otherwise documentation for the Freeman Snow Jr as son of Freeman Snow Sr is weak (relies on birthdates and marriages in Freeman Snow's bible that is now in Scotland and may have pages missing).

Maryanna's husband was George Lenham, and his brother Nathan L Lenham and father Louis (aka Lewis Lenheim, born Germany) were landowners and businessmen in Great Bend, PA and then moved to Dakota Territory in the 1880s where they were involved in banks, lumber mills, and railroads in the towns of Cooperstown and Sanborn (see Cooperstown Courier online at Lib. of Congress newspaper site and search for Lenham).

The Cooperstown Courier June 6, 1884 shows Lewis Lenham came from Saxony in 1840. In the same article announcing his brother Herman S. Lenham's death it says that Herman and Lewis' father was Soloman Lenham, merchant. Lewis' other brother William S. Lenham died a few months before in late 1883 at the age of 53 (see Courier article Nov. 2, 1883).

See Dakota census and also: http://www.griggscountyhistoricalsociety.com/online/porterville/box02/box02folder06lastname11lenham_elevator_lumber_co.pdf

They later settled in Chicago with stops along the way including California (census Chicago and old newspaper clippings online).

Note: I visited the Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Newark New Jersey on April 6, 2017 at about 9 AM to take a picture of her father Theodore Leverich's memorial at the gates were closed (which was odd because the cemetery website advertised being open at 7 AM).
