Seventh Generation


1678. Absalom LEONARD1760 was born on 5 February 1791 in Raynham, Bristol Co., MA.915 He died on 1 October 1856 at the age of 65 in Raynham, Bristol Co., MA. He may be the same as the Absalom (Zadock5, Simeon4, Elkanah3, Thomas2, James1), note in manuscript by ECL. Both are listed as marrying Keziah Dean. He died at age 67 of consumption. He was a farmer. ECL: "a note says Absalom drowned, a suicide."

Raynham VR's lists Abraham Leonard as marrying Keziah on this date. It's probably a misprint, Abraham for Absalom.

Absalom had sons Thomas, 9, Cyrus, 7, and Granville, 2?, attending school 28 Feb 1827 in Taunton. Also listed are Catherine King, 9, and Abigail H. Drake, who were apparently living with or the responsibility of Absalom.
