    MAR: Springfield Vital Records, 1:13 (FHL #185414).
    DEATH: Not recorded in Springfield vital recs. See the adm of estate of John Leonard of Springfield, 29 Mar 1676, Hampshire Co. Probate, 1:174 (FHL #879184), inv 28 Mar 1676 (Ibid, 1:174), agreement of heirs 10 Jan 1676/7 (Ibid, 1:185), distribution 10 Sep 1714 (Ibid, 2:108), additional distribution 8 Apr 1718 (Ibid, 4:5). John Leonard was killed by the Indians early in 1676. See James Savage, GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY OF THE FIRST SETTLERS OF NEW ENGLAND, 4 vols. (Boston, 1860-62; repr Baltimore, 1979), 3:79 (FHL #974 D2s). The same claim is made in Donald Lines Jacobus and Edgar Francis Waterman, HALE, HOUSE AND RELATED FAMILIES (Hartford, 1952), 678 (FHL #929.273 H135j). No documentary evidence has been found, but John's estate was administered on the same date as his dau Sarah Keep, who was killed by the Indians in the Longmeadow attack of 26 Mar 1676. John was probably killed in the same attack.
    NOTE: No evidence has been found that John is the brother of James Leonard of Taunton, Mass., although this claim is often made. A royal descent is also claimed for John and James Leonard, which has been disproved. See Donald Lines Jacobus, "The Leonard Family of Taunton," TAG, 10(1933):162-66 (FHL #973 D25aga).
