Court Action*1749Plaintiff "Martha Leonard, who was the wife of Joseph Leonard late of Bridgewater... Yeoman, Deceased" sued Jonathan Chandler, a Bridgewater Yeoman in 1749 "That instantly without delay he render to said Martha her reasonable Dower." Martha was represented by Daniel Johnson Esq. of Bridgewater. Plaintiff demanded a messuage and 7 acres in Bridgewater, of which her husband was seized "during the Coverture and whereof she hath nothing (as She Saith) and the said Martha Leonard Complains that the said Jonathan Chandler hath Deforced her thereof and then and there to Shew Cause why to the said Martha Leonard her reasonable Dower as aforesaid he doth not render etc." Defendant pleaded in abatement that (1) the writ identified Joseph Leonard as "Yeoman", when he never had "the Estate to make him so", that (2) the writ did not list plaintiff's "Addition... Neither of Town or County, which is absolutely Necessary and without which She cannot be rightly known", and that (3) the writ listed defendant Jonathan Chandler as a "Yeoman, which is Wrong, for he is a Bloomer." The defendant was overruled and then pleaded that he did set off her dower to her. The Jury verdict was for the plaintiff and included her dower, 10s in damages, and costs, taxed at £2.11s.5d. The defendant appealed, with Daniel Johnson Esq. of Bridgewater and James Hovey of Plymouth as sureties. No further record.14 
Death*30 September 1752She was possibly the unnamed Leonard widow who died on 30 September 1752 in Bridgewater.3,15,2

(Son) Probate Agreement5 December 1694An agreement dated 5 December 1694 between Martha Orcutt of Bridgewater, widow of William Orcutt who died in 1693, and her children included sons William Orcutt Jr., John Orcutt, Andrew Orcutt, Joseph Orcutt, Thomas Orcutt and Benjamin Orcutt and daughters Martha Orcutt, Hannah Orcutt, Mary Orcutt and Susanna Orcutt. William and his five brothers each received a share of their father's land and his four sisters each received £6. Under the agreement their mother was to have the house and lands adjoining it with the benefits and privileges thereof until her son Thomas reached the age of 21. At that time, the widow Orcutt was to continue to have full and free liberty to live in the house and to improve it for her own use during her widowhood, to receive four acres of broken up and improved land and to have firewood provided for her.4,5 
(Father) Research OpinionDaughter Joanna was named in his will, and if born in 1694 and married at age 25, would have been age 42 at the birth of her tenth child. While the Mayflower Cooke source chose caution and identified Jane Washburn as Joanna's possible mother, this researcher believes Jane the more probable choice since William and Hannah Smith didn't marry until 21 September 1698.2
