• Notes

  Luzanna LEONARD, the youngest of Daniel and Lucretia (Jennings) Leonard, is named in her father's 1842 will, receiving $70 from his estate. Her name is spelled "Lousana" in that document. It is possible, even probable, that Luzanna is the one female, aged 10-20 (she would have been 16), shown living with Daniel and Lucretia in the US Census of 1840. She was named in her grandfather's (Caleb Jr.'s) will in 1845, receiving "her share" of the estate... $12.94. Luzanna appears again in the 1850 US Census as a 26-year-old member of Lucretia's household (her name once again spelled "Lousana"). She and Lucretia are the only two members of the household, they appear to be living on the same property, but different residences as Luzanna' brother William and HIS family. William is known to have moved back to the family homestead at the time of his father's death in 1842 and before his grandfather's (Caleb Jr.'s) death in 1845. William and his family moved to Ohio in 1855. Luzanna and Lucretia appear together again in 1860, and although their names are spelled "Rosana" (age 34) and "Lucetta" (age 82), they are still living on the Somerset Twp homestead. Luzanna married David Mitchell, becoming his second wife, sometime after his wife Sarah LUTES' death in 1867. Luzanna (spelled "Lousanna", age 48) is shown living with David, Lucretia (spelled "Lucedia", age 92), and four of David's children in the US Census of 1870. Jane Peppler and/or William R. "Bill" Mitchell, Sr. show Luzzanah Louarma LEONARD's death in 1907, burial in Maple Creek Cemetery, Washington Cty, PA. They also show the death of David Mitchell 15 Aug 1898 in Bentleyville, Somerset Twp, Washington Cty, PA, burial in the same cemetery. Luzanna/Luzzanah/Lousanna and David have NOT been found in the same household, however, since 1870. Bill Mitchell note says Luzanna was also known as "Annie." No citation. Bill Mitchell notes Lucretia's father "proven" as Dr. Jacob Jennings, "unproven" that he was the father of Jonathan Jennings, first governor of Indiana. He says Luzanna moved to Uniontown after David Mitchell died (15 Aug 1898). Bill Mitchell also indicates Luzanna left a will in which she specifically EXCLUDED her nephew Isaac... living in Union Township, Fayette County PA after David Mitchell's death in 1898.
