I have listed several Leonards below. Several are listed as neighbors on the 1850 census.
I'm trying to determine if these Leonard's were siblings.
If you research any of the other family names, Impson, Hendrick, Carter, Malone, Brown,
etc., I would like to hear from you. My primary focus is to James and Penatha Carter, who
hopefully are my gggrandparents. Penatha's maiden name is believed to be Leonard
also.
