Gideon Leonard

M, #2879, b. 17 September 1786

Family: Unknown

SonGideon Leonard+ (b. 7 September 1813, d. 17 September 1867)

Biography

Gideon Leonard was born on 17 September 1786 in East Granville, Washington County, New York.
See note under Timothy Leonard, possibly his brother, who also lived in Granville, NY. This Gideon apparently traces the line. There are probably more Leonards on this line than are mentioned here. The 1830 Census lists a Gideon Leonard living in Pawlet, Rutland Co., VT. But this Gideon could also be part of the John Leonard of Springfield line. More research is required.

ECL: He was a blacksmith. Andrea Leonard said this Simeon had these parents (Zadock Leonard) and married Zilpha Lewis. There are several Simeons given the same death date, one dying in Osterville (Andrea's) and one in Middleborough. The Bridgewater VR's say the Simeon dying in June 1823 died at Titicut and was 42 years old, meaning it was this Simeon.
