| 3 | | History of Isaac Leonard (1830*-1914) of Washington County, PA. Status: LocatedIsaac Leonard (b. 23 June 1830*, m. Amanda Cox 1 Jan. 1852, d. 30 Dec. 1914), born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, like his father and grandfather before him, was the second or third of nine children born to William and Mary Van Ort Leonard of Somerset township. Amanda Cox (b. April 1834, d. 20 Oct. 1902) was the daughter of Andrew and Margaret Cox of West Bethlehem township. *An enumerator listed Isaac's birth date as June 1830 in the census of 1900. Isaac's gravestone states June 24, 1830, exactly the same as his brother Daniel. There is no mention of twins anywhere in family or written documentation, but there do appear to be twins in succeeding and related generations. Harry S. Blaine's Ancestors and Descendants of Avery Leonard found a birth date of June 23rd, 1827 to be more likely for Isaac, but did not cite a source. | |
