SonAbraham Leonard+ (b. 1738)

Biography

Timothy Leonard was born on 6 July 1718 in Bridgewater, Plymouth County Massachusetts.1 He died on 23 August 1762 at age 44 in Bridgewater, Plymouth County Massachusetts.
Did Timothy marry Hannah Baker of Branford 9 August 1744? (Ricker Collection). Family seemed to remain in Branford for several generations.

Frank Dougherty, "The Settlers of the Beekman Patent, VIII," p. 55-56, identifies this Timothy Leonard as coming to Beekman and sharing a farm with his brother-in-law Archibald Jewell (yes, our Timothy). He was a tenant on a farm in 1745 and was on the tax roll in Beekman from June 1748 to June 1761. He leased a farm to John Earl in the 1750's. Henry Beekman did not have a very high opinion of Tim and characterized him as a "poor, sassy fellow."

He may have been the father of Abraham Leonard who married Mary Lewis. She was born 17 Apr 1737 in Ashford, CT. They were at Cambridge, NY, in 1790 and were close to Joseph Lewis, Christopher Lewis, and Reuben Lewis. Probable daughter Dorothy Leonard m. Thomas Lewis 21 ov 1782 in Washington, MA, and Martha Leonard m. Winant Williamson 12 Jul 1781 at Washington, MA.

Records too sparse to put this family together. Timothy Leonard had person sources.2
