Robert Leonard (bef. 1730 – 1780): Discharge Document from British 35th Regiment of Foot (1762)

Robert Leonard’s discharge paper (front and back) from British 35th Regiment of Foot, photocopy published in Audrey M. Matthews, The Tennessee Phantoms (Prosser, Washington, 1989)

Or, Subtitled: “Lennard Serjt in Capt Allen’s Company has served honestly and faithfully”

And now the military discharge document: As my initial posting in this series about Robert Leonard notes, Thomas D. Leonard states in his “Biography of the Leonards,” “His discharge as a soldier of the English Army is yet in existence. It is in the family of Griffith Leonard in Tenn.; and I have seen it.” (To read the continuation of this posting, please click the numeral 2 below.)
