From bio of son Nimrod: emigrated from Virginia directly to Washington County, Iowa, in 1850, settling in the then village of Washington. By trade, Henry Lease was a blacksmith, but purchased town property and lands near the village, to which his attention was given. Seven children accompanied them to Washington County: Susan E., the wife of Jacob Sigafoos; Mary A., the wife of Nelson Long; Henry married Mary Baker; William is the husband of Ann Foolan; all were married in Virginia. Our subject, the youngest child, then twenty-one years of age, was the only one unmarried. The eldest son, John, had preceded this small colony, and with his wife, Harriet A. Stewart, had settled in this county in 1846. Near his land, the Lease family made a location, where they continued to reside for several years. The mother died in the autumn of 1865, and the father in 1869, both having lived long enough to see a large family married and well settled.

Land in Dubuque in 1855.
