His widow Sarah renounced administration of the estate 29 May 1761 in favor of Paul, with Josiah Leonard a witness.

He owned 125 acres at Hanover, NJ, in 1778 as "joshiah".

Or did he died 5 Nov 1778 in Hanover, Morris Co. NJ?

Harriet Leonard Standish lists (p. 148) a Seth G. Leonard as a son of Joshua and Sarah Condict, apparently from Fanny Leonard Koster's chart. Seth G. had 10 children.

SBL doesn't mention a son, Elijah, and says only descendants of Silas and Martha can be definitely traced. First Church of Morristown records also don't mention Elijah but do mention his other children. They add a Huldah, who married Philip Hall.
