Seventh Generation

110. Abel LEONARD⁹⁴ was born on 22 November 1706 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. He died on 3 April 1770 at the age of 63 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. Did he have a daughter, Azubah, born 17 Oct 1731, baptized in 1731? Unlikely -- another child born in July 1731. Jacobus says there were 13 children, but does not enumerate them.

He was referred to as Abel Leonard, Jr., in West Springfield records, probably meaning he was the second oldest Abel Leonard at the time in that community. Elizabeth LEONARD and Abel LEONARD were married on 12 June 1729 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA.

111. Elizabeth LEONARD⁹⁵ was born on 19 March 1709 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA.

Children were:

55	i.	Elizabeth LEONARD.
	ii.	Ruth LEONARD⁷⁷ was born on 16 July 1731 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. She died on 8 October 1746 at the age of 15 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA.
	iii.	Miriam LEONARD⁷⁷ was born on 5 October 1733 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. She died in 1736 at the age of 3 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA.
	iv.	Lydia LEONARD⁷⁷ was born on 12 February 1736 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. She was baptized on 11 April 1736 in West Springfield, Hampden Co., MA.
	v.	Miriam LEONARD⁷⁷ was born on 5 April 1738 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. She died on 29 November 1758 at the age of 20 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA.
	vi.	Dinah LEONARD was born on 23 April 1738 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA.
	vii.	Solomon LEONARD⁷⁷ was born on 13 June 1740 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. He was baptized on 3 August 1740 in West Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. He died on 2 November 1757 at the age of 17 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA.
	viii.	Keziah LEONARD⁷⁷ was born on 22 April 1743 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. MA town VR's are quite definite that Abel Leonard had a daughter, Keziah, b. 22 Apr 1743, and that a Keziah Leonard married Nathaniel Eaton on 19 Feb 1761, further that a Keziah Leonard married Gustavus Ellsworth 17 Apr 1766 in Springfield. There doesn't seem to be another Keziah with whom this Keziah could be confused.
	ix.	Abel LEONARD⁷⁷ was born on 17 January 1744 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. He died on 11 August 1747 at the age of 3 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA.
	x.	Sarah LEONARD⁷⁷ was born on 8 June 1746 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. West Springfield VR's have this marriage occuring 12 Oct 1796 between Miss Sarah Leonard and Isaac, both of West Springfield. But was it this Sarah Leonard or another? She would have been too old to have many children. Isaac Colgrove is listed in the 1810 Census for Otsego Co., NY, with a household of 9, including 7 children. This Isaac or another?
	xi.	Ruth LEONARD⁷⁷ was born on 1 August 1749 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. She was baptized on 8 October 1749 in West Springfield, Hampden Co., MA.
	xii.	Abel LEONARD⁷⁷ was born on 15 March 1751 in West Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. Alternative birth date is 3 Dec 1851. He died on 3 May 1824 at the age of 73 in Agawam, Hampden Co., MA. He was buried in Feeding Hills Cemetery, West Springfield, MA. They apparently had no children. Note that there were several Abel Leonards naming sons Abel Leonard, and some family researchers are mixing them up.
	xiii.	Dinah LEONARD⁷⁷ was born after 1752 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA. She died in 1757 at the age of 5 in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA.
