• Notes

  Boyd Crumrine, "History of Washington County, Pennsylvania with Biographical Sketches of Many of Its Pioneers and Prominent Men" (Philadelphia: L.H. Leverts & co., 1882). http://www.chartiers.com/crumrine/twp-index.html Chapter on Somerset Township The Leondard family came from new Jersey to Somerset township, and as early as 1780 were in possession of land here. There must have been a number of brothers, for the record of property transfers shows that a tract of one hundred and fifty-four acres was owned by several of these. It was first owned by Isaac LEONARD, sold by him to Abner LEONARD, by Abner to Caleb LEONARD, and from him was purchased by John Hawkins. Caleb LEONARD married Sarah Burt, and their family numbered seven children,-Daniel, Joseph, Zenas, Phebe, Rhoda, mary, and Sarah LEONARD. The sons Joseph and Zenas died in Ohio, and Daniel died in this county. The daughters all married and died leaving families. Edmond LEONARD, living in Fayette County, and Isaac LEONARD, of Washington borough, are descendants of these early settlers. ****Note: Daniel LEONARD would've been in Washington County (age 18) for the Whiskey Rebellion/Insurrection in 1794, during which President George Washington ordered 12,000 to 13,000 troops to the Washington Pennsylvania area. See: http://www.whiskeyrebellion.org/ ********* Chapter on West Bethlehem Township, pp 969. On Feb. 19, 1803, there was organized at the residence of Joseph Hill, Jr., in West Bethlehem township, a Babtist society called the Lebanon Church, but was still better known as the Plum Run Old Side Babtist Church. ...... Among the organizing members of this church were Joseph and Mary Hill, James Hill, ROSS and Margret Nichols, Daniel and Lucretia LEONARD, Rebecca Welsh, James and Maragret Beatty, Thomas and Rachel Hill, David Evans and wife, Mrs. Sarah Barnes, John Welsh, and James Burgan and family.

She uses the same info to prove her DAR heritage. Is the Daniel you speak of the one who married Lucretia Jennings in Washington Co PA and is buried in Beallsville Cemetery? Daniel's father is William LEONARD who married Mary Van Ort or do I have this confused, as I do at times. There was a land dispute between the Stokeley's ,Shepherds and the LEONARDs . A Notice of Ejectment was filed, naming Silas, Abner, Caleb, Joseph, and other LEONARDs. This all started probably around 1788 and continued until Mr. Stokely died in 1826 and in his will this court action is mentioned giving all the plats, surveys and naming all the LEONARDs (but of course no relationship is mentioned; brother, etc.) The action is stopped and this is when all the land is deeded; you see all these deeds with LEONARD name, etc. I am still awaiting to hear from the National Archives in Philadelphia as to the existance of docket and paper info for this action. Are you familiar with this? I won't bother you any more, but if I do acquire any pertinent information, I will let you know. Thank you so much for all your conversation and hope to stay in touch, if you don''t mind. Sharon LEONARD I may drive down to Bedford within the next two weeks to do some research. Is there a Historical Soc in town?"
