Mother*Sarah ______1 d. b 6 Mar 1709
Birth*circa 1677Moses Leonard was probably born in Bridgewater, Plymouth Colony, circa 1677, as calculated from his noted age at death.1,2,3 
(Son) Estate30 August 1701 According to the Chilton Mayflower source, in the division of his father's estate, his brother John was to receive the eldest son's share and his mother Sarah her widow's thirds. Moses and his other siblings each received a share of the remaining. On 30 August 1701 the widow Sarah and her sons John, Joseph and Josiah signed receipts. Unfortunately, the digitized version of his probate file contained no documents outlining the division of his estate or any receipts.3,4

Land Records*9 May 1717 On 9 May 1717, Moses Leonard of Marlboro purchased from his uncle Jacob Leonard of Bridgewater a purchase right in Worcester.7 
Biographical Info*Moses' brother John's share of their father's estate was the homestead in Bridgewater, which was to be held with their mother during her lifetime. After her death, by a deed dated 6 March 1709, John sold it to his brother Moses and went to live with him at Marlborough and probably continued living with him, unmarried, until his death. He was with him in Worcester as late as 25 February 1726.8,3 
(Husband) Death17 September 1751Moses became a widower for the second time when Hannah (Woods) Witherby Leonard died on 17 September 1751.5 
Residence*Moses was in Worcester from 1717 to at least 1729 when he sold his homestead and moved first to Brookfield, then to Hardwick and about 1735 to Leicester. By 1757 he was in Rutland at the time of his third marriage.5 
Marriage*12 November 1757He very probably married third widow Sarah (__?__) Hall shortly after their Intention of Marriage was recorded on 12 November 1757 in Dudley, Worcester County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).5,9 
Residence*After his marriage to Sarah, Moses spent the remainder of his life in Rutland, Worcester County, living first in that part which became Oakham, and later in the part which became Barre.5 
Land Transfer*27 April 1759Moses' son Moses Leonard transferred land in Rutland District, Worcester County, to "my father Moses Leonard late of Rutland Westwing Precinct now living in said District Gentleman". Son Moses and his wife Beulah acknowledged their signatures on 10 September 1760.5

Family
Father*Thomas Leonard1
Birth*Philip Leonard was born in Pontypool, Monmouthshire, Wales.1 
(Brother) Relationship NoteFor over 200 years now, researchers are still looking for clues to the relationship between Solomon Leonard of Duxbury and Bridgewater, and the three "other" known Leonard brothers, James Leonard, Henry Leonard and Philip Leonard. Mitchell's Bridgewater History speculated that Philip Leonard of Duxbury "might have been" a brother or son of Solomon Leonard of Duxbury and Bridgewater. Deane's Genealogical Memoir of the family of James Leonard of Taunton noted that the Reverend Dr. Peres Fobes, pastor of the Congregational Church in Raynham, prepared an account in the late 1700s of the Leonard family, particularly of its longevity, promotion to office and involvement with the manufacture of iron, that is in the Massachusetts Historical Collections, Volume III. Fobes wrote that James Leonard had "three" brothers; but, in his genealogical tree of the Leonard family, he reported on only two, Henry and Philip. He went on to speculate that, if there was a fourth brother in their family, perhaps he may not have immigrated to America, or if he came to New England, he may have been Solomon Leonard of Duxbury in 1637 and then of Bridgewater, or John Leonard of Springfield in 1639, or Rice Leonard of Rehoboth in 1644. Fobes stated he knew of no others of a proper age.2,3
