Rachel Dayton were married on 31 March 1768 in Hanover, Morris County, New Jersey.
1 He died on 3 November 1807 at age 60 in Cannonsville, Delaware County, New York. He was buried in November 1807 in Walton Cemetery, Delaware County, New York.
ECL: "There were probably other children." ECL has her name as Rachel Dalton. James was a Revolutionary War soldier.
He was baptized on 30 Aug 1747 in Hanover Presbyterian Church.
Could another son have been Rodney Leonard, b. abt. 1775, wife Miriam b. 1785, children Rachel b. 1823, Rodney Jr, b. 1828, living next door to Ezra H. Leonard b. 1806 and family?
James Leonard was a native of NJ. Five years before the Revolutionary War, he removed to the vicinity of Lake Champlain, where Udney was born. At the outbreak of the War, his situation was too exposed to Indian incursions. So he returned to his native state, where he remained until 1786. Then, induced by descriptions of the beauty and fertility of the land on the Delaware River, he homesteaded on the east side of the River, a little below Cannonsville. He was engaged in farming, clearing his land and raising cattle. The wolves killed nearly all his sheep, and the bears his hogs, so that for many years had to give up raising them.
He was originally buried in the Cannonsville Cemetery, but removed and relocated to the Walton Cemetery when the Cannonsville Reservoir was constructed. James Leonard had person sources.
