That leaves "Esch", "Eschen" and "Gleichen" as place names to have their meaning deciphered, but thanks for the correction (I had just guessed that the "L" might have indeed been part of the surname, many consonantes are lost as people interpret them, someone could easily have interpreted the "L" from "Lescher" as a "Le Escher" and decided it to be unncesary)

Thanks to both of you for your help...
