All the records I have for him state he was born in Pontypool, Wales. However, since I have run into dead ends in my efforts to find his parentage, I am assuming he did NOT emigrate from Wales, but Ireland. I would very much like to know if anyone else has reached the same conclusion and might have any records confirming this. I am Robert's descendant thru his and Honor's son, Thomas, and Thomas' son with Hannah James, Griffith (sometimes recorded as Griffin?) and then their son, Thomas Bunyan (TB) Leonard. My family did settle in TN, namely Belfast in Marshall County. Many of my relatives are buried at Round Hill Cemetery. I have a wealth of research and histories gathered by my father and am hoping to both fine tune the information and extend it back even farther to the ascendants of Robert Leonard. Thanks in advance! -Dawn Hello Cousins:
