Sixth Generation

952. Noah LEONARD^1131,1132 was born on 17 March 1765 in Middleborough, Plymouth Co, MA.¹¹³³ He died on 21 February 1844 at the age of 78 in Augusta, Oneida Co., NY.¹¹³³ He was buried in Parker Cemetery, Augusta, Oneida Co., NY.¹¹³⁴ Taunton VR's erroneously call him Nathaniel vice Noah Leonard.

He was a soldier in Col. Benjamin Tupper's regiment in 1780-81 for 20 months and 7 days in the Revolutionary War (2 years, 9 mos, discharged at West Point, according to his pension record). He applied for Revolutionary War pension on 8 September 1820, at which time he was living in Oneida Co., NY, a laborer suffering from rheumatic complaints. His wife, Mehitable, was 50 and also infirm (dropsy?). His son, Henry, 18, was an idiot; his daughter, Abigail, 15, was in good health, and his son, Otis, 10, had a disorder in his throat; and finally his mother-in-law, Mehitable Richmond, 80, who was also unable to work. The papers go on to list the schedule of property he owned.

Samuel Barrows of Jefferson Co., NY, testified in his behalf in September 1819, as did Joseph Bennet of Washington Co., VT, and Abiezer Richmond and Joshua Richmond and Isaac Richmond.

Noah and Joseph are mentioned in the Richmond Genealogy.

He and his wife moved to Augusta, Oneida County, NY, before 1800, where they died. In the 1790 Census, Noah and his family (4) were living in Middleborough; for the 1800 Census, Noah and his family of 4 were living in Augusta, Oneida Co., NY.

Mrs. Walter K. Adams of Minneapolis, MN, applied for his pension record in 1938. Descendant?

Did Noah have anything to do with Westmoreland Furnace in Oneida Co.?

ECL-GML: See letter from Isaac Richmond Leonard, grandson of above, to Elizabeth F. Leonard 31 Jul 1901.
