William Leedom took over the operation of the Edgington Tavern sometime before 1812. After just a few years under his proprietorship, the hostelry soon became known as the Leedom Tavern. This old wayside inn had been built and operated by Adams County pioneer, George Edgington. Leedom is a son-in-law of Edgington having married his daughter, Tacy Edgington, in 1795. William and Tacy were the parents of 12 children and have many descendants still living in Adams and surrounding counties.
