• Notes

  From the "History of Washington County, Pennsylvania, with biographical sketches of many of its pioneers and prominent men," edited by Boyd Crumrine (Philadelphia, L.H. Everts & Co. 1882) Seattle Genealogical Society: "The LEONARD 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 peoperty transfers shows that a tract of one hundred and fifty-four acres was owned by several of these. It was first owned by Isaac Leoanrd, 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, Zanas, 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 burrough, are descendants of these early settlers." --------------------------------------------------- From Sarah LEONARD (bleonard-cfe@msn.com) 2/5/02 Rick - I won't bother you any more - but must apologize for not reading your previous e-mails carefully. Caleb, Jr. married Sarah Burt - If you write to Uniontown Public Library, they have the Burt Family Bible. I have a copy of the Family Record page and the library has a note stating a copy of Burt Will on file at the Library. There should be much information for you at this library on the Burt surname and Caleb, Jr. The sources the library checked for me were: Cemetery Records Wash Co, Horne Paper Maps, Orphan Court Records Wash Co, Wash Co. Will Books and Births & Marriages 1806-1854-just to let you know the extent of their resources. You will probably be very busy searching the Ohio records also but thought this might be helpful. Good luck in your research. Sharon 2/4/02 Was William married to Jemima Burt? If so, I have some resource info, I think. UnionTown Public Library 24 Jefferson Street Uniontown, PA 15401 They have the Annals of LEONARD-Hutchinson Families by Jennie Hutchinson also have Annals of the LEONARD Family by Fanny LEONARD Koster 1911, not indexed-it has fold out genealogical charts on LEONARDs. and Index to the Commemorative Biographical Record of Washington County PA containing Biographical Sketches of Prominent and Representative Citizens, and of many early settled families by J.H.

[proven] [Source: Stephen Bank author of "The LEONARD History Book"] "The long list of LEONARDs in Morris County of the northern part of New Jersey settled there prior to the Revolutionary War, must have had an origin from several lines of the Massachusetts branch of LEONARDs {see Solomon LEONARD Family of Bridgewater for further details}. " The vicinity of Mendham in Morris county, New Jersey, where the LEONARDS settled was one of the most inviting places for Pioneers pushing to the fertile fields of the interior of the Colony and settlements were made in this township as early as 1715-20. The country around furnished an industrious and growing populations, with rich products of the soil, and abundance of magnetic iron ore, so that mining, manufacturing and farming interests greatly prospered and attracted new comers every year. Caleb and Jemima LEONARD family removed from New Jersey to Washington County in PA. in about 1773-1775. "The LEONARD family came from New Jersey to Somerset township, Washington County, PA, and as early as 1780 were in possession of land there. There were a number of LEONARD sons who recorded Land Property transfers, one particular tract of land of 155 acres was owned by several of these brothers. First owned by Isaac LEONARD, then he sold to Abner LEONARD; Abner sold to Caleb LEONARD, Jr. (perhaps Caleb Francis LEONARD?) ------------------------------------ From SallyAnn Joiner GED file: 1 TITL II 1 NOTE Caleb LEONARD, JR. came from New Jersey to Somerset township as early 2 CONC as 1780.

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 (Washington County, PA). The daughters all married and died leaving families.
