BEGATS AND BEQUEATHALS

Or, Subtitled: “In the Late American war with Britain in the Maryland Ridgiment as Sergeant till kill^d. in Gen^l. Gatises Defiat”

As previous postings have shown, there’s good documentation showing Robert Leonard serving during the French and Indian War as a sergeant under the command of John Dagworthy and Alexander Beall in Frederick County, Maryland, at Forts Cumberland and Frederick from February 1755 to November 1758. Robert witnessed the discharge of a soldier from Beall’s company in Frederick County in March 1759, so he was still in Frederick County up to that date.
