Do you know of Leadingham ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Leadingham. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Leadingham.<1>

Our sources for Leadingham (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Leadingham other than they indicate that Leadingham would be found somewhere in Elliott County, Kentucky.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1881 and closed  in 1919.
