I, Harriet LEONARD Fishburn, do affirm that I am a grand-daughter of William Leoanrd, who was born in New Jersey in 1766 [1760?], and died in Beallsville, Washington County, PA., in 1848, aged 82 years.... My grandfather [William5] was an amiable, mild tempered Christian gentleman, beloved by all who knew him. He was a devout churchman and was an elder in the Presbiterian Church for over forty years. p2 - Grandfather LEONARD was a dignified, dressy man. He wore knee breeches, beautiful stockings, and garters with silver knee-buckles. Once I sat on his lap and he told me this story: "Once, when I was a young man, I shot a deer (a buck) and my mother (Jemima Minthorn LEONARD) had the hide tanned and made me a pair of buckskin breeches. Years after, when my daughters sat on my lap, as little children, they would point to the bullet hole in the leg and say 'There's where father killed the deer.'" My father, sitting near said, "Father, do you remember the day when you and I went hunting in the Flat Woods, when game was so plentiful an you shot a wild turkey off a high tree?" "Yes, I do," said he, "and the turkey was so large, heavy, and fat, that it burst open when it hit the gournd." My father was at the bedisde, when his father died, and he said, "Benjamin, good-bye. I am about to cross cold Jordan but I am not afraid." [S00280] One World Tree (sm), Ancestry.com, (Name: Provo, UT, USA: The Generations Network, Inc., n.d.;). Online publication - Ancestry.com.
