Charles Henry Pope Pioneers of MA pg. 284. Death: Adm. of his estate granted 28 Mar 1676 to widow, Sarah. The agreement between his heirs names sons, Joseph, Benjamin, Abel, Josiah L., John Keep, and Samuel Bliss. Extract from my book on John Harmon of Springfield, MA and His Associates: John Leonard: BIRTH: John Leonard was born abt 1615 at Pontypool, Mommoth, Wales, son of Thomas Leonard. John’s paternal grandparents were Samson Leonard and Margaret Fiennes who md. in 1564 John Leonard’s great-grandmother was Elizabeth Harmon born 1520 at Elam, Crayford, Kent, England; Great-grandmother, Elizabeth, married a John Leonard abt 1538, at Knole, Kent, England. I think it is highly probable that there could be a relationship with John Harmon as their families appear to have had quite a bit of interaction in Springfield. MARRIAGE: John married Sarah Heath (Heald, Healey) daughter of John Heath and Dorothy Royle. 12 Sep 1640. DEATH: John Leonard was killed by Indians in 1676. Administration of his estate was granted to his widow, Sarah. His estate was valued at L190. The agreement between the heirs names sons Joseph, Benjamin, Abel and Josiah Leonard; John Keep, and Samuel Bliss. His widow remarried in 1677 to Benjamin Parsons (Benjamin was the father of Sarah Parsons who married James Dorchester. James was the son of Anthony Dorchester who married the Widow of John Harmon.) and again in 1690 to Peter Tilton of Hadley. She died in 1711. BIOGRAPHY: He was a Springfield proprietor in 1638; and served many times as a town officer. On 3 Aug 1643, John Leonard was sworn in as Constable of Springfield. On 13 Feb 1644, Samuel Chapin was sworn as Constable in the place of John Leonard “who was put out of his place as a mark of disfavor for swearing to a lie in the evidence he gave between Thomas Merik and Robert Ashley.” By the following year, John was serving as a juror again. His sons appear several times in various court proceedings. On 15 Dec 1657, John Leonard sold Pynchon his four oxen in payment of a debt-- only he requested of Pynchon that he be able to use the oxen for two years prior to turning them over to him, to which Pynchon agreed. On 14 Jan 1666, nine years later, Pynchon received the cattle to cover the said debt. John Leonard’s land was bordered by Robert Ashley and Thomas Merick. The latter sued John Leonard in 1664 for letting his cattle loose in the common corn field and was awarded five bushels of Indian corn. Anthony Dorchester purchased land from Abel Wright (his son-in-law) on Jan 4, 1661, three acres of Meadow lying over Agawam River, bounded by John Leonard south east, & Anthony Dorchester’s own land on ye Northwest. Occupations: farmer, occasional laborer for Pynchon. John Leonard sat next to John Harmon in the 3rd Seate in the Meeting house for church services. Also in the 3rd seat were: Thomas Stebbins, Miles Morgan, Ben Muns and Anthony Dorchester. A close association with Elizabeth Harmon (later Dorchester) continued by Sarah Leonard after the death of her husband. In fact, Sarah married Benjamin Parsons, which made her a (step) mother-in-law to James Dorchester who married Benjamin’s daughter, Sarah. Elizabeth Harmon Dorchester and Sarah Leonard Parsons thus shared step-grandchildren! From town records, it appears that John Leonard may have had a son, John, who lived to adulthood and possibly married Johan Prichard, daughter of Nathaniel, who was John Harmon’s neighbor. On the lists of his children, however, I do not find this John. Since other town records claim that Prichard’s daughter married John Lombard, I am assuming it was Lombard and not Leonard. 6.
