12. Thomas LEONARD³⁸ was born on 22 Jan 1664/65 in Taunton, Bristol Co., MA. He died in 1740 in Raynham, Bristol, MA. It seems unusual that they had only two children. Doublecheck.

He lived after his marriage about a mile north of the Raynham Forge onthe road to Whittinton. He was paid for work done for the forge, butthere is little else about him. According to ECL, he seems to have diedwithout male issue.

Fanny Leonard Koster ascribes male children Thomas, John, Philip, andJosiah to him in her charts.

OneWorldTree ascribes several more children to the couple (John, Philip,Thomas, Josiah), probably in error. Also, birth date of 1664?
