| Notes |
- 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.
"The name "Leonard" is a very ancient one and is a surname which was derived fron the Christian given name, "Leo" and carries the basic idea of lion-hearted. It is strange that those of the family who attained the honor of knighthood chose the head of a tiger, rather than of a lion, for use on their crest."
