Fourth Generation

78. Thomas LEONARD²² was born in 1753 in Middletown,Monmouth Co., NJ. He died in 1801 at the age of 48. Was it Thomas or Nathaniel Leonard who married Esther Heath? Or both, but different people? DAR # 43153 says it was Nathaniel; DAR # 33293 says it was Thomas.

The descendants listed all lived on the Jersey Coast. This isn't consistent with a Thomas dying in Beaver County, PA in 1801. It is probable that the Thomas living in Beaver County is another Thomas Leonard.

GML has this Thomas as Sgt. Thomas, a son of Nathaniel Leonard and Deliverance Lippet.

Thomas LEONARD and Alice LAWRENCE were married on 30 October 1786 in First Reform Church, Freehold, NJ. Alice LAWRENCE, daughter of William LAWRENCE and Margaret TILTON, was born on 12 December 1756.
