• Notes

  The History of Delaware Co. and Ohio, (66 Dearborn St., Chicago, 1880), p. 812, MRS. PHEBE LONGWELL, retired; P. O Kilbourne ; born in Washington Co., Penn. March 3, 1812 ; daughter of Zenas and Nancy LEONARD both of Pennsylvania ; she migrated to Marion Co., this State, with her parents, at the age of 11. Some Ancestors and Descendants of Avery LEONARD of Seneca County , Ohio, p. 18, Harry S. Blaine, 1933: "Zenas born 7/10/1782; mar. Nancy (went to Ohio)" To: allenp19@idt.net Here attached is the .ged for the descendants of Ebenezer and Sarah LEONARD Burt. Ebenezer Burt came to Marion County between 1822 and 1830 and settled in Canaan Township on land bought by his father-in-law Lot LEONARD from the GLO. Ebenezer was Justice of the Peace for Canaan Township in 1833. His sister-in-law Nancy LEONARD and her husband Zenas LEONARD (second cousins) owned the adjoining land. Zenas was the first road surveyor of Marion; their daughter Phebe made the first marriage in Marion County; their sons Abijah, Joseph, and Isaac remained closely tied to the Burt family. I welcome any inquiries. Jane Peppler jpeppler@acpub.duke.edu Also from Jane Peppler: General Notes: In December 1822 Caleb and Nancy his wife of Somerset sell to Zenas lands in Washington Cty PA adjoining Isaac and Joseph Leonard and Ebenezer Burt. I'm guessing that perhaps Nancy Leonard b. 1786 living next door to Joseph in 1850 is the wife of Zenas (now a widow) Zenas was one of the first Morrow settlers, and cut the first road through the county I'm guessing that perhaps Nancy Leonard b. 1786 living next door to Joseph in 1850 is the wife of Zenas (now a widow) It is possible that he wrote a book, "Narrative of the Adventures of Zenas Leonard," D. W. Moore, Learfield PA, 1839, possibly available from Webster Library Zenas married ²Nancy Leonard³, daughter of ²Lot Leonard³ and ²Elizabeth HOGE³. Nancy was born in 1786 and died after 19 Aug 1825 in Marion County Ohio.
