01. Samuel Leonard
[1]
was born abt. 1580 in
Pontypool, Monmouth, England and died about 1630.
Manning Leonard's
book states that Samuel, a dissenter, migrated to
Leyden,
Holland (The temporary home of the Pilgrims who came to
Plymouth
Colony on the Mayflower in 1620) from the environs of the
town
of Bristol in Monmouthshire, England. It is possible that Samuel
came
to America with his son, Solomon, but if he did, he died shortly
afterwards. |
02. Solomon Leonard,
[1]
son of Samuel was Born in about 1610 in England. He came to
Massachusetts around 1630 or 1631 from Monmouthshire, England. His father is
believed to be Samuel Leonard who came over with him. Solomon married
Sarah
Chandler, daughter of Roger Chandler and Isabella Chilton, daughter of
James Chilton who was one of the original Mayflower
passengers.
Solomon was one of the founders of Duxbury and Bridgewater, Massachusetts.
