Susan LEONARD was born on 27 February 1794. She died on 14 October 1834 at the age of 40.

1508

viii.

Jesse LEONARD was born on 9 April 1796 in MA. Some of the descendants of Seth Leonard and Ruth Hoar were also named Jesse and lived in Sutton, MA. This is mentioned not only because of possible confusion, but also because Seth may be a descendant of Uriah of this branch rather than William Leonard and Sarah Bolton.

There was a Jesse Leonard in Boston in the 1830 Census with a family of 5, including a male 30-39.

ECL concludes this listing with "The above is given in the Sutton VR's, but it is very uncertain who the Jesse mentioned there is." I don't see any evidence that links this Jesse to Sutton, so have not included it here. See ECL, Sixth Generation, p. 148 (#827).
