I am trying to find out for sure who the parents are of Phebe Leonard, wife of Eliab Byram (New Jersey) are/were. I have seen research that suggests the Iron Leonards, but also some that suggest the Mayflower Leonards. Byram papers I have say her father was Ephraim Leonard. Some researchers show Thomas, and some say her father was Ephraim Thomas. I have checked the links here for Leonard Histories (The Leonard Family and Stephen Banks Leonard files) and neither identified her father. I see where Sarah Leonard married Eliab Byram, but I’m not seeing how the two were related and proof. I just started on the Leonard line recently, and found this site yesterday. Any help or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks, Sandy

I am researching David Leonard (John Leonard)(David-James-William Leonard) of Lousa County, VA. Where would David have come into this country from Europe if he came straight into VA? Which port would have been the most likely that they would have arrived i I can’t tell where they came into VA, if they migrated into VA from Europe of from a state north of VA. HELP!!!

I have traced my line to Georgia during the Revolutionary War . The predominate given names seem to be Calvin and James . I haven’t moved up the Appalachians yet but They moved into Alabama then on West . Don,t know if that helps . Earl Leonard

Have not found any links to the Iron Leonards. Not saying there is no link, just that research so far has not established a link.

Rick, I am looking fro the Leonard line of David Leonard from Louisa County, VA. He suposevely had two brothers named James and William. His son John named his sons after David, James and William. They migrated to SC around 1790.
