Third Generation

60. Josiah LEONARD¹⁰ was born on 21 October 1680 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. He died maybe 14 February 1748 at the age of 67 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. Will was signed and witnessed in May 1748, so death date appears to be in error. In this family, three brothers married three sisters. Josiah was a carpenter and left his tool to Reuben.
