• Notes

  From a page on Jemima Leonard AXTELL in "The Annals of the Leonard-Hutchinson Familes" by Jennie LEONARD HUTCHINSON, 1949: Jemima was noted for her beauty, wit and sense of humor, and upon their arrival at Elizabethtown, then the port of entry, they stopped at an Inn, where the Inn keepers sone was much smitten with Jemima and asked if he might wait upon her that evening, she replied that she would see hwat her jusband said about it when he came. (Henry Axtell died about 1753.) Jemima LEONARD AXTELL married a second time, Marrying Squire Matthew LUM and had several children. She lived to a great age, more than ninety years and died at the home of Japhet Byram, a mile north of the village of Mendham, N.J..Two of Jemima's brothers were Benjamin, who married Martha Hains (or Harris) Mar. 8, 1750 and Caleb, who married Jemima Minthorn, Jan. 27, 1748. Her father was a land owner in Berminster Tws'p. in 1755 and is recorded as a taxpayer in 1760. This I obtained from Mrs. H.P. Christman, of Washington, PA. who is a member of the D.A.R.'s on the record of Maj. Henry Axtell. You will note that Jemima died at the home of Japher Byram, and Bishop Leonard speaks of Rev. Elijah Bryam of Bridgewater,MA. who married Sarah Leonard, as being the first Presbyterian minister of Mendham. Jennie Leonard Hutchinson
