Home Surname List Name Index Sources Email Us | Descendants of James Leonard 1620-91, Ironworker, of Taunton, MassachusettsJames’ descendants test in Haplogroup J2, also known as J-L70. His descendants here number about 7,000+ through 10 generations. Some in the 11th generation and later generations are still alive and are not listed for that reason. The main source for this descendancy is the unpublished typescript and charts compiled by Elisha Clark Leonard 1819-1894 and his grandson, George Marston Leonard 1880-1959. I’ve checked their information against other sources, such as NEHGS and VR’s, and added to their information from personal contacts, census data, and ancestry.com. Corrections and additions welcome! Possible sources of confusion include the descendants of Solomon Leonard 1610-1671 who lived in Bridgewater, MA, neighboring Taunton, Raynham, Norton, and Middleborough where the Iron Leonards resided. Also, the descendants of William Leonard ca.1685-aft.1750 and Sarah Bolton inhabited Bridgewater and neighboring towns in the 1700’s.
