| Father | John Leonard (b. 18 May 1668, d. about 6 February 1748) |
| Mother | Mary King (b. 18 May 1676, d. 6 February 1749) |
Biography
John Leonard, Sr., was born in 1695 in Raynham, Bristol County, Massachusetts. He died about 1754 at age ~59 in Middleborough, Plymouth County, Massachusetts.
1 His brother Josiah was appointed guardian August 10, 1754 -- "non compus mentis?" He probably never married, according to ECL and G.M. Leonard's charts. He was declared "deprived of his natural reason" at the time his father made up his will in 1732. For that reason, he probably was excluded from receiving or inheriting his father's property.
There was a John Leonard, Sr., member #446, of the First Church of Middleboro, who married Abigail _____, before 1735 and who died about 1775. He joined in 1742, so must have been born before 1721. There is room to question whether the records of that John and another John, perhaps his son from an unrecorded marriage, have been confused. Doublecheck this John and the birth date of 1715. According to ECL's notes, John was the eldest son of the previous John and was born before Thomas. If he's John, Sr., there ought to be a John, Jr. in Middleborough at the same time, and that would have been John Leonard, son of William Leonard and Sarah Bolton.
Who was the father of Margery Leonard, member #443 of the First Church of Middleboro (December 5, 1742)? Margery was born abt. 1715 and married Ebenezer Briggs of Taunton on 6 Feb 1746, according to the First Church of Middleboro records. She died 24 Aug 1808 in New Salem, Franklin Co., MA. She is not identified in this Leonard genealogy. Since John Leonard joined the church at about the same time, he is suspect of being her father. John Leonard, Sr., had person sources.

Stover VR of Raynham confirms Walker, not Sulker. She was a direct descendant of Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower. Sarah Walker had person sources.

Mary Leonard was born in 1702 in Raynham, Bristol County, Massachusetts.
John Barney and she were married in 1730 in Norton, Bristol County, Massachusetts. She died in 1736 at age ~34 in Norton, Bristol County, Massachusetts.
Was this Mary Leonard the one who married John Barney, or was it Mary Leonard, daughter of John and Mary (King) Leonard? ECL has it both ways. This John Leonard's will has Mary the wife of John Barney.
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 an error: the above Mary Leonard was the daughter of John and Mary (King) Leonard (p. 47, ECL manuscript).
"Philip Wilbur, brother of Micah, married Mary Leonard December 29, 1737." Second marriage? Different Mary? Mary Leonard had person sources.

Another Josiah died 30 August 1788 in Raynham (Raynham VR's, p. 157). Check whether there was a place called Auburn in NY in 1777. It would have been in the middle of Indian territory at that time.
