Leah Ann Brake Reger was my great great great grandmother.
Leah was born in WVA in 1795 and died there in 1835. She was the daughter of Jacob Brake (1747-1831) and Mary Slaughter (who died in 1830). Little is known about Mary's life or family.
Leah had the following siblings:
1. Mary Magdaline (1782-1866) - married Isaac Reger (1782-1851)
2. Elizabeth (1781-Bet. 1850 & 1860) - married Moses Whitecotton (1777-1849)

4. John B. (1788-1875) - married Rachel Hyre (1789-1835)
Leah joined in marriage to Abram Reger (January 16, 1813, Harrison Co, WVA) and to this union were born 9 children:
1. Celia - my great great grandmother, who married George Simon and moved on to Missouri.
2. Rev. John West Reger (1815-1893) - married Rebecca Anne Brown (1822-1893). John was "converted at a Methodist camp meeting" near the present site of the Reger Church.
