Lot Leonard (1754-1847) was married to Elizabeth Hoge who was a 2nd cousin to George Washington. I’m a little lean on the documentation (so please share anything you find), but this is the way it was passed to me.

I should say – any verification the Leonard family has relationship to George Washington?

My head is spinning! My great great great grandmother’s mother was a Leonard. In the obituary, it says that she traced her family history and was a relative of General George Washington through the Leonard family. I am trying to find out if this is true. Any information or verification on this?

Frank,
It can get confusing on Ancestry with it’s hints and other members blindly following and accepting hints with out verification. I believe the Mary (1673-1722) you are referencing who married Sylvanus Cambell (1671-1718) in 1791 is the daughter of Solomon Leonard (jr) (1653-1686) and Mary (Surname unknown to me) (1754-1795).
They had a dozen children, too numerous to list.
The Surname Lenerson is likely the same as Leonard (son) as the kind Dr. had mentioned earlier.
as for references, Birth Death and Marriage, they can be found in the Massachusetts vital records for Taunton, MA
