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.

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.
