    The Allen Co. Public Library in Ft. Wayne, IN has a photocopy of a book
    entitled "Memorial : Genealogical, Historical, & Biographical, of Solomon
    LEONARD" (1896) by Manning LEONARD [cat. # GC 929.2 L553L]. It has a
    lengthy biography of Solomon LEONARD. Following is a very brief
    summary of some of the highlights :
    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.
    Solomon's father, 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 Solomon, but if he did, he died shortly afterwards. The exact date
    is not known, but was most likely around 1629-1630. At first, Solomon
    was engaged in the service of Plymouth Colony Company, then he became
    a settler in Duxbury. He held land there at "Blue Fish", which is in the
    northern part of the village by the bay, when the town was incorporated
    in 1637. Surviving deeds from the early days of the settlement reveal
    that Solomon was a neighbor of others of our ancestors - John Alden,
    Constant Southworth, and George Soule.
    Solomon married sometime before 1640 . All we know of his wife is
    that she was named Mary. They had many children, most probably born in
    Duxbury, and several dying young. Unfortunately, Duxbury lost all of its
    town records prior to 1654 due to fire. The Colony records of births and
    deaths prior to 1647 have also been lost.
    Associated with Miles Standish, John Alden, Constant Southworth,
    William Bradford, and others - 54 in all - Solomon became one of the
    original proprietors of the town of Bridgewater (Mass.) and was one of
    the earliest settlers there. This would have been sometime between
    1645 and 1656, when the town was officially incorporated. It is also
    mentioned in this work that another of our ancestors, Guido Bailey, was
    prominent in the early history of Bridgewater.
    Solomon's primary occupation would have been farmer, but, especially
    later in life, he also did some weaving. He is referred to as a weaver in
    the settlement of his estate, but this is the only time he is known to
    have been referred to as such.
    Solomon is last mentioned in Colony records in March 1658-9. He was
    most likely buried in the ancient graveyard at West Bridgewater, but the
    site of his grave is not known.

    Mayflower Families Through Five Generations Vol.2, pp.10-11 deduces
    that Solomon prob. arrived in Plymouth about 1631. This source gives
    only one wife for him, SARAH CHANDLER, the mother of his children.

    However, Jim Angel emailed me on 5 Feb
    1996 :
    Jim, Thanks for the info. First of all, the confusion over Solomon
    LEONARD was clarified for me by one of the "silver books", The
    Descendents of the Mayflower vol.2 (I think, it's at home), which
    discussed Manning LEONARD's work. from which I have already made some
    copies, thanks. Anyway they refute Manning's claim Mary and put
    Solomon's wife as Sarah Chandler, daughter of Roger and Isabella
    (Chilton) Chandler of Leyden, they make a pretty strong case of it but I
    can't remember the details off the top of my head. What adds to the
    confusion is that John LEONARD b.1645 Duxbury, son of Solomon and
    Sarah, married abt 1670 another Sarah Chandler b. abt 1648 Duxbury.
    It seems to me that back then not much distinction was made between
    the 3 Chandler girls. Roger's will isn't very clear nor are the records of
    which one was Solomon's wife. It probably wasn't too important for
    most people.
    I find it very probable that Edmund and Roger were probably brothers,
    and that the name came down through Edmund and not Roger. That
    community was pretty tight back then and it seems most of those that
    came in the 1630's were not Coming over for the weather. Most of
    them new somebody. Roger and Isabella, for example, were part of the
    original Leyden, Holland contingent of the Pilgrims, and, were following
    after Isabella's family. Her parents James and Susanna (Furner) Chilton
    came on the Mayflower with her younger sister Mary. Unfortunately her
    parents died that first winter, but Mary was there.
    Unfortunately, I'm at work and don't have much info with me. So, most
    of this rambling is coming off the top of my head. I think at this point
    any easy leads are going to come through Edmund going back and then if
    my speculation is right back down to Roger. But, then again...

    From The Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, p. 11.

    Solomon LEONARD was first recorded in Duxbury in 1637, and in May 1638 was "promised lands on Duxburrow side, (in part of those due to him for his service)." This was probably the usual recompense to a servant; since normal service was seven years, we surmise that Solomon prob. arrived in Plymouth ca. 1631. In Feb. 1638/9 he received a grant of 25 acres. In 1645 he received a share of land in what later became Bridgewater, to which he removed soon after 1649. He was living there in 1658/9.

    On 1 May 1671 Samuel LEONARD of Bridgewater confirmed that his deceased father, Solomon LEONARD, had given land to "my brother John LEONARD." Strangely, Samuel did not post bond as administrator of his father, Solomon deceased, until 27 Oct. 1675, at which time the failure to mention the widow of Solomon implies that Sarah had already died. In the disposition of this estate, "Samuel LEONARDson" is called the eldest son, John second son, with equal division among "the rest of the children." In a deed 10 May 1677 to his brother "Isack LEONARDson," Samuel LEONARDson mentions brothers John, Jacob, and Solomon.

    From "Some Ancestors and Descendants of Avery LEONARD," by Harry S. Balaine, Gordon A. Blaine Press, Toledo, Ohio, 1933.

    The earliets LEONARD in America of which we have any definitive record is SOLOMON LEONARD, who is on record as a landowner in Duxbury (now Bridgewater), Massachusetts as early as 1629 and was evidently of that illustrious Plymouth Colont. Tradition says he came over with the Earl of Warwick. This statement, hoever, is unverified except that it is known that the Earl of Warwick did come to Plymouth Colony in 1627. Solomon LEONARD was born about 1610 and married Mary (sic)____about 1640.

    CHAPTER II.

    FIRST SETTLEMENT.

    Grant of Plantation.--Bridgewater purchased of the Indians.--Division of the
    Town.--Petition of the North Precinct to be set off a separate Town.--Charter
    for a Precinct.--First Meeting of the same

    TO give a clear account of the early settlement of the town of North Bridgewater, it will be necessary to give some account of the origin of the town, its connection with and its identity with the parent town of Bridgewater, and a brief account of its having been set off from Duxbury, and the purchase of the Indians. The ancient town of Bridgewater--then comprising what is now North, East, West, and South Bridgewater, or Bridgewater proper--was formerly a plantation granted to Duxbury, in 1645, as a compensation for the loss of territory they had sustained in the setting apart of Marshfield from them in the year 1640. The grant was in the following language:--

    "The inhabitants of the town of Duxbury are granted a competent proportion of lands about Saughtuchquett (Satucket), towards the west, for a plantation for them, and to have it four miles every way from the place where they shall set up their centre; provided it intrench not upon Winnytuckquett, formerly granted to Plymouth. And we have nominated Capt. Miles Standish, Mr. John Alden, George Soule, Constant Southworth, John Rogers, and William Brett, to be feofees in trust for the equal dividing and laying forth the said lands to the inhabitants."

    How these lands were divided, or what should entitle any one to a share, no record appears to show. Gov. Hinckley, in his confirmatory deed, says that the "inhabitants agreed among themselves." There were fifty-four proprietors,--each of whom held one share,--the names of whom are as follows: William Bradford, William Merrick, John Bradford, Abraham Pierce, John Rogers, George Partridge, John Starr, Mr. William Collier, Christopher Wadsworth, Edward Hall, Nicholas Robbins, Thomas Hayward, Mr. Ralph Partridge, Nathaniel Willis, John Willis, Thomas Bonney, Mr. Miles Standish, Love Brewster, John Paybody, William Paybody, Francis Sprague, William Bassett, John Washburn, John Washburn, Jr., John AMES, Thomas Gannett, William Brett, Edmund Hunt, William Clarke, William Ford, Mr. Constant Southworth, John Cary, Edmund Weston, Samuel Tompkins, Edmund Chandler, Moses Simmons, John Irish, Philip Delano, Arthur Harris, Mr. John Alden, John Forbes, Samuel Nash, Abraham Sampson, George Soule, Experience MITCHELL, Henry Howland, Henry Sampson, John Brown, John Howard, Francis West, William Tubbs, James Lendall, Samuel Eaton, Solomon LEONARD. To these shares were afterward added two more shares,--one to Rev. James Keith, of Scotland, their first minister; and the other to Deacon Samuel Edson, of Salem, who erected the first mill in the town,--making fifty-six shares.

    This grant was considered as little more than an authority or right to purchase it of the natives. For this purpose, Capt. Miles Standish, Samuel Nash, and Constant Southworth, were appointed a committee to make the purchase; which they did, as appears by the following instruments:--

    WITNESS THESE PRESENTS, that I, Ousamequin, Sachem of the Country of Poconocket, have given, granted, enfeofed, and sold unto Miles Standish of Duxbury, Samuel Nash and Constant Southworth of Duxbury aforesaid, in behalf of all the townsmen of Duxbury aforesaid, a tract of land usually called Satucket, extending in the length and breadth thereof as followeth: that is to say, from the wear at Satucket seven miles due east, and from the said wear seven miles due west, and from the said wear seven miles due north, and from the said wear seven miles due south; the which tract the said Ousamequin hath given, granted, enfeofed, and sold unto the said Miles Standish, Samuel Nash, and Constant Southworth, in the behalf of all the townsmen of Duxbury, as aforesaid, with all the immunities, privileges, and profits whatsoever belonging to the said tract of land, with all and singular all woods, underwoods, lands, meadows, rivers, brooks, rivulets, &c., to have and to hold, to the said Miles Standish, Samuel Nash, and Constant Southworth, in behalf of all the townsmen of the town of Duxbury, to them and their heirs forever. In witness whereof, I, the said Ousamequin, have hereunto set my hand this 23d of March, 1649.

    JOHN BRADFORD,
    WILLIAM OTWAY, alias PARKER,
    Witness the mark of ?? OUSAMEQUIN.

    In consideration of the aforesaid bargain and sale, we, the said Miles Standish, Samuel Nash, and Constant Southworth, do bind ourselves to pay unto the said Ousamequin, for and in consideration of the said tract of land, as followeth:--

    7 coats, a yard and a half in a coat.
    9 hatchets.
    8 hoes.
    20 knives.
    4 moose-skins.
    10 yards and a half of cotton.
    MILES STANDISH,
    SAMUEL NASH,
    CONSTANT SOUTHWORTH.

    This contract is said to have been made on what was called "Sachem's Rock," in East Bridgewater, a little south of Whitman's Mills, and near the house of the late David Kingman.

    This Ousamequin, sometimes called Ossamequin, was no other than Massasoit himself, who, in the latter part of his life, had adopted that name. The deed written by Capt. Miles Standish, one of the original planters of the Colony, and signed with the mark of the Sachem, is still in existence. When the old Sachem was called upon to execute his deed, he endeavored to make it as sure as possible. For that purpose, he affixed a mark in the shape of a ??.

    Thus we have seen that the original town of Bridgewater, comprising the territory now known as North, East, West, and South Bridgewater, was purchased by Capt. Miles Standish and others for the trifling sum of seven coats, nine hatchets, eight hoes, twenty knives, four moose-skins, and ten and a half yards of cotton; the whole not amounting to thirty dollars in value.

    This town was the first interior settlement in the old Colony. The grant of the plantation, as we have seen, was in 1645, and the settlement made in 1650. The first settlers had a house-lot of six acres each on the town river, and the place was called Nuckatest, or Nuncketetest. The first lots were taken up at West Bridgewater; first houses built and the first improvements made there. The settlement was compact,--the house-lots being contiguous,--with a view for mutual protection and aid against the Indians; and, as a further protection from the natives, they erected a stockade or garrison on the south side of the river, and fortified many of their dwellings. It is said that not more than one-third of the original fifty-six proprietors ever removed and became inhabitants of their new settlement. From this original home, the settlers scattered into other portions of the town, extending their dwellings first into the south part of the town, toward Nippenicket Pond, on the road to Taunton, whither they were in the habit of going either to mill or to trade; and we are told they frequently went to that place on foot, with the grists on their backs, a distance of several miles.

    The last settled part of the town was the north, which was not till after 1700; no permanent settlement being made in what was called the North Parish till after that time, and the settlers were mostly from the West Parish, now called West Bridgewater.

    The plantation remained to Duxbury until June, 1656, when it was incorporated into a distinct and separate town in the following concise language:--

    "ORDERED, That henceforth Duxborrow New Plantation bee allowed to bee a tounshipe of ytselfe, destinct from Duxborrow, and to bee called by the name of Bridgewater. Provided that all publicke rates bee borne by them with Duxborrow upon equally proportions." The court settled the rates to be paid by the proprietors as follows:--

    "The town of Bridgewater is to bear one part of three with Duxbury, of their proportion of the country rates for the officers' wages and other public charges."

    Previous to the incorporation of the town, the plantation had been called Bridgewater; but, of the origin of the name, we have nothing authentic, except a matter of fancy for a town in England of that name; and, from the time of its settlement, the town has maintained a strong position in the history of the country.

    The town continued a united and harmonious whole until 1715, when a petition was sent to General Court to be set off into a separate parish or precinct; the petitioners representing themselves as inhabitants of the easterly part of Bridgewater. A committee of two in the Council, and three of the House, was appointed to examine into the matter; who attended to their duties, and reported in favor of granting their request; which was accepted, and an act of incorporation passed June 1, 1716, with this condition:--

    "That the whole town stand obliged to an honorable maintenance of the Rev. James Keith, their present aged minister, if he should outlive his powers and capacities of discharging the office and duty of their minister."

    The new parish was called the South, and the old one the North, Precinct, which then included the West and what is now North Bridgewater. In 1723, that part of the old North Precinct now known as East Bridgewater, then known as the West Parish, was set off, and constituted a precinct called the East Parish, in Dec. 14, 1723; and May 31, 1738, fifty-five individuals, belonging in the old North Parish, sent a petition to the General Court, asking to be set off into a separate township; which petition was so far granted as to allow them the powers and privileges usually allowed to parishes. The following is a copy of petition and the act of incorporation:--

    To His Excellency Jonathan Belcher, Esqr., Captin General and Governour
    in Chief in and over his Majesties Province of the Massachusetts Bay, in
    New England, and to the Honourable his Majesties Council and House of
    Representatives in Generil Court Assembled at Boston, on the 31st of
    May, 1738, the Petition of us, the Subscribers, Inhabitants of the Town
    of Bridgewater, Consisting Chiefly of the North part of the west precinct,
    and two Familys of the East precinct, in sd Town,--

    In October 1665 the Plymouth Court granted 150 acres of land to the three (unnamed) daughters of Roger Chandler deceased.

    At least four children of Roger and Isabella have been identified:

    1. Samuel was born in Leiden before 15 Oct 1622.

    2. Sarah was born in Leiden before 15 Oct 1622. She married Solomon Leonard/Leonardson about 1640 and had six children. He died in Bridgewater before 1 May 1671. She died in Bridgewater before 27 Oct 1675.

    3. Martha was born probably in the late 1620s. She married John Bundy by 1649 and had six children. She died in Taunton on 1 May 1674. He died in Taunton in 1681.

    4. Mary was likely born in the late 1620s. She married
    Edmund Bruff by 1653 and had one son. She probably is the "Mary, wife of Edmund Burfe" who died in Boston on
    August 15, 1658.

    Part of the evidence for these children is a deed from Plymouth Colony to the daughters dated October 1665 in which Roger Chandler is reported to be deceased.

    Roger died probably at Duxbury, between 1658 and Oct 3, 1665.
