Biography
Lydia Leonard was born on 10 March 1678 in Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts.
William Britton and she were married on 16 October 1695 in Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts.
1 She died on 13 March 1773 at age 95 in Raynham, Bristol County, Massachusetts.
Be careful with marriages between Brittons and Leonards. This one married William Britton. Their son Ebenezer Britton married Tabitha, son of Seth Leonard and Dorcas White. There was also a David Britton, who married Lydia, daughter of Philip Leonard and Lydia Chase. Uriah Leonard and Elizabeth Farley's daughter, Lydia, also married a David Britton.
Referred to as Lydia Alden Britton in one genealogy... James Savage has Lydia b. 10 Mar 1679 and Abigail b. 30 Jan 1683. Lydia Leonard had person sources.

Mary
F, #2937, b. about 1684
Biography
Mary was born about 1684 in Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts.
Stephen Leonard and she were married about 1702 in Massachusetts?
This information is doubtful. Some sources have marriage in 1724, obviously wrong. Who is this Mary Leonard? She should be a child of someone in this data base. One ancestry.com source has her the daughter of Joseph Leonard and Mary Black, but dying in 1688.
