His birth as a twin of Nathaniel is recorded in Taunton VR's. But ECL/GML have George Washington Burt Leonard, son of Lemuel and Olive, as marrying Harriet Pittman, with a daughter, Abbie, resulting from the union. Descendants have posted his picture on ancestry.com and endorse this line, with the marriage to Priscilla Wilbur. His death certificate from Massachusetts lists him as the son of William Leonard and Dinah Burt, with son William E. (Everett) Leonard reporting the death and burial in Raynham.
