Fifth Generation

443. Timothy LEONARD⁴⁷¹ was born on 19 Mar 1733/34 in Middleborough, Plymouth, MA.⁴⁷² He died in 1803 in Middleboro, Plymouth Co., MA. E.C.L. says "he never heard any more about him." Fanny Leonard Kostersays the son of Timothy was Samuel, who married Sarah Williams. ElijahLeonard autobiography calls her Mary Williams. Note in ECL manuscript,probably added by GML, "Boston Transcript July 15, 1939: Wanted, ancestryof Gideon Leonard, born September 7, 1813, died September 17, 1867, andwho married Harriet A. Waldo. They lived in East Granville, NY. Ibelieve that he is a grandson or greatgrandson of Timothy Leonard, bornMarch 19, 1734. Gideon, brother of Timothy, had a son Gideon bornNovember 11, 1786. A Timothy Leonard was elected a town officer atGranville, Washington Co, NY, in 1791-96. A Timothy Leonard, householdof 2, one male, one female, listed in the 1790 Census of Granville. Inthe 1800 Census, the Timothy Leonard household included 1 male 45+, 3males 16-26, and 8 females, 1 26-45.

Death of Timothy not recorded in Middleboro VR's. Source of descendancyto Samuel is from Ontario Genealogical Society records (Family Chart#484).

It's peculiar that Timothy would have had a son, Samuel, when he was only16 or 17 years old. This bears checking.

Fanny Koster Leonard's charts show Samuel as the only son of Timothy.

A Timothy Leonard served in Capt. Abial Peirce's company, Col NicholasDike's Regiment, along with Jonathan Leonard.

It appears that Timothy or his children removed to Granville, WashingtonCo., NY. A Timothy Leonard died there bef. 11 April 1814. TimothyLeonard and Mary Baldwin had a daughter, Mary, the 4th dau. in thefamily, b. 3 Dec 1795 at Granville. She d. 21 Dec 1817 and was marriedto Charles Mason.

There seems to be some confusion around the children of Joseph Sr. andJoseph Jr. Both Gideon and Timothy were supposedly children of both.This needs to be doublechecked.

There was a Timothy Leonard, aged 70 years, whose death at NewMarlborough, Berkshire Co., Mass, was reported in the June 14, 1817Providence Gazette. He supposedly was born at Canterbury, CT. He hadbeen 40 years deranged and lived of the produce of one acre of land. Allmeat he ate raw. He was found dead and buried by the neighbors at hisplace of abode.
