Third Generation


50. Ebenezer LEONARD10,23 was born on 20 January 1687/8 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. He died on 22 February 1762 at the age of 74 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. He was involved in some land transactions in Suffield and Blandford in the 1730's. See History of Blandford.

There is apparently some confusion around which Ebenezer was the son of Benjamin. "Descendants of John Scott" has this Ebenezer the son of Benjamin. "The Giles Memorial" has him the son of Joseph. Donald Lines Jacobus has the Benjamin Leonard b. 10 January 1696/7 as the one marrying Martha Miller. Thomas B. Warren also questioned this in 1896 and came to the same conclusion. I've chosen to go with the Jacobus and Warren version. Date of death on grave stone seems to confirm this.

Ebenezer LEONARD and Martha MILLER were married on 12 May 1720 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. Martha MILLER18, daughter of Ebenezer MILLER and Hannah KEEP, was born on 19 June 1695 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA.24 She died on 23 September 1760 at the age of 65 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA.
