A Martin Leonard, age 57 (born about 1750) died as a result of a fall in Granville July 31, 1808. Could he have been related to Seth? He would have been born within a year or two of Seth. A Martin Leonard, b. 16 June 1751, unmarried, broke his neck, 1805. This Martin was the son of Luther Leonard; his brother Oliver had a son Chester who married in Granville in 1800.

Circumstantial evidence points to Seth being a descendant of John Leonard of Springfield rather than James of Taunton. Is this Seth really the son of Seth of Uriah or another Seth? I haven't seen anything tying this Granville, MA, Seth to the Seth of Uriah. He would have been 1 or 2 years old when Seth died, but we've found no record of a guardian being appointed. Seth had a son, Seth, according to ECL, born 20 Dec 1799 in Granville. There was a Seth born on that date in Westmoreland, NH, but that's an entirely different Seth. That Seth married Sally Hill. There were two other Seths born in 1799, but neither can be tied to Seth and Comfort.
