“Or, Subtitled: The family came in a cart whose wheels were sections of a big tree sawn out thicker in the center than on the edge”
This posting continues a thread discussing records that document the life of Thomas Leonard (1752-1832), son of Robert Leonard and Honor Pritchard. The previous posting in the thread documents Thomas’ life in Washington County, Maryland, prior to his family’s move to South Carolina. As a previous posting states, we can fairly well pinpoint the Leonard family’s arrival in South Carolina from a survey for 160 acres on the Big Generostee in Ninety-Six District that was made for Thomas Leonard (Linard in this document) on 9 February 1786.[1] The grant for this land was made to Thomas (again, with his surname spelled Linard) on 6 November 1786.[2] (To read the continuation of this posting, please click the numeral 2 below.)
