Leslie, an eighth generation Alabamian, lived her early years within a few miles of her Alabama Territory ancestor homestead. Many of her family members reside in the same Montgomery County community today. Her maternal line has been buried in the Pisgah Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery (Historical Marker HM1F4C) for almost 200 years.

Leslie’s hobbies include travel, horse rescue, bunco, genealogy research, outdoor and macro photography. Prior to a neck injury she was an avid skydiver and hang-glider. She especially enjoys website design and has built over 45 hereditary society websites. She also enjoys serving as an event photographer for local hereditary society conferences.
