Fourth Generation

318. Seth Leonard ?³⁴⁵ was born about 1749. A Martin Leonard, age 57 (born about 1750) died as a result of a fall inGranville July 31, 1808. Could he have been related to Seth? He wouldhave been born within a year or two of Seth. A Martin Leonard, b. 16June 1751, unmarried, broke his neck, 1805. This Martin was the son ofLuther Leonard; his brother Oliver had a son Chester who married inGranville in 1800. There are only four Leonards mentioned in GranvilleVR's: Martin, Chester, Nathaniel (of Sheffield m. Olive Tibbals ofGranville 8 Jan 1788), and Seth Lonarde (sic) who m. Comfort Blancher (noother Blanchers or Blanchards in Granville). Martin, Chester, andNathaniel are all of the John Leonard of Springfield branch of theLeonard family.

Is this Seth really the son of Seth of Uriah or another Seth? I haven'tseen anything tying this Granville, MA, Seth to the Seth of Uriah. Hewould have been 1 or 2 years old when Seth died, but we've found norecord of a guardian being appointed.

Seth had a son, Seth, according to ECL, born 20 Dec 1799 in Granville.There was a Seth born on that date in Westmoreland, NH, but that's anentirely different Seth.
