Biography
Major Elkanah Leonard was born on 15 December 1703 in Middleborough, Plymouth County, Massachusetts.
1 He and
Elizabeth Tisdale were married on 21 October 1725 in Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts. He died on 24 July 1781 at age 77 in Middleborough, Plymouth County, Massachusetts.
2 He was buried in Lakeville Cemetery (Thompson's Hill), Lakeville, Massachusetts.
3 He was a lawyer at MIddleborough. He was "one of the most distinguished geniuses of his name and day." (NEHGS Register, 1851, p. 412). He practiced law at Middleborough, where he was the first attorney and the only one until 1738. "His assistance in the defence in criminal prosecutions was much sought after, and his abilities were never more conspicuous than in those defenses." He was many times elected a selectman, moderator, and representative to the General Court. During the latter part of his life, his mind was obscured. ECL says he lost his mind at about the age of 43. On 8 January 1749, Judge of Probate appointed his wife Elizabeth and his son Elkanah his guardians, as he was declared "non compos mentis." (Per copy of original court document with the Old Colony Historical Society.) Major Elkanah Leonard had person sources.

Thomas Leonard
M, #1672, b. 22 January 1665, d. 1740
Parents
Biography
Thomas Leonard was born on 22 January 1665 in Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts. He and
Joanna Pitcher were married on 1 December 1699 in Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts.
1 He died in 1740 at age ~75 in Raynham, Bristol County, Massachusetts.
He lived after his marriage about a mile north of the Raynham Forge on the road to Whittinton. He was paid for work done for the forge, but there is little else about him. According to ECL, he seems to have died without male issue.
Fanny Leonard Koster ascribes male children Thomas, John, Philip, and Josiah to him in her charts. These are apparently in error, in that no other evidence has been found to support them and his will indicates he had only two daughters.
The Mayflower Society in the Thomas Rogers silver book notes that their earlier entry #281 Thomas Leonard was not the son of Thomas and Johanah Pitcher Leonard, whose only heirs were daughters Alice Leonard and Joanna Crossman (Bristol Co. PR 13:323).
GML makes note of a Boston Transcript article 10 Feb 1932: "John Barney, son of John and Mary (Throop) Barney, born 27 Sept 1698 at Bristol, RI, settled in Norton and married Mary Leonard, daughter of Thomas Leonard and Joanna Pitcher Leonard. No dates are found. His widow granted administration 7 Jan 1757. This is apparently an error: the above Mary Leonard was the daughter of John and Mary (King) Leonard. Thomas Leonard had person sources.
