She was not 18 years of age at the time her father wrote his will 12 Mar. 1740/1. In 1759 Capt. Henry inherited form his uncle Thomas Leonard (see ¶f. below) all his claim to the Indian Purchase of about 10,000 acres of land lying between Squam River and Metetieunk which he had obtained by deed from Capt. Henry's brother Samuel. Capt. Henry also inherited from his uncle a house and lot in Kingstown where Benjamin Maple kept a tavern. Henry's will was written 4 Nov. 1759 and probated 2 Nov. 1761 in Essex Co. Half his estate and personal was to go to his wife; the other half to his sons Robert Morris Leonard and Henry Leonard and daughter Susanna Leonard. Ten pounds to his sister Sarah. The executors were his brothers Samuel and Thomas and his brother-in-law Samuel Cook, Courtland Skinner, and his wife.
