Son	Richard Leonard+ (b. about 1766, d. 26 August 1821)

Biography

John Leonard was born on 12 January 1730 in Dudley, Worcester, England. He died in 1811 at age ~81 in North Warwickshire, England. He was a Quaker.

Could he be the John Leonard b. 12 Jan 1730 in Warwick, son of John and Henretta? Or was there another John Leonard who married a Frances who were the parents of William?

Two possible Frances marriages: Frances Nutting at Circencester 1720 or Frances Brown, Brignorth, Shropshire, 1740. Brignorth is about 9 miles from Wolverley. Neither date fits well with John's birth and marriage.

Likely parents of this John are John Leonard, b. abt. 1700 in Warwickshire and Henrietta Smith, who were married 26 Nov 1723 in Dudley, Staffordshire. This is a Quaker (nonconformist) line for several generations.

John, a Quaker, was born about 1731 and died in Knowle a few miles SE of Birmingham 11 Feb 1811 at the age of 80.

This is the family tree of the gun maker Leonards in Aston/Birmingham.
