Or, Subtitled: “My will and desire is that my wife Hannah, Leonard, Shall remain quietly in peaceable poſseſsion, of the room, commonly called hers, during her natural life”
This posting continues (and concludes) my documentation of the life of Thomas Leonard (1752-1832), son of Robert Leonard and Honor Pritchard. This series began with an account of Thomas’s birth and coming of age in Washington County, Maryland, and then followed him to Pendleton District, South Carolina, where he and wife Hannah, his widowed mother Honor, and other family members settled in 1786 after they moved from Maryland. Now this final posting about Thomas’s life will document it life in its final period in Lincoln County, Tennessee. (To read the continuation of this posting, click the numeral 2 below.)
