Sixth Generation

1488. Capt. Phineas LEONARD¹⁶¹⁸ was born about 1774 in Canton, Norfolk Co., MA. He died on 4 September 1821 at the age of 47 in Westminister, MA. He went to Westminster in the late 1700's and operated a forge there near Wachusettville with his brother Enoch. He sold the forge in 1812 and thereafter operated a saw mill until his death.
