   "Annals of Leonard Family"
   by Fanny Leonard Koster b.3.a.4
   
   Note: "Browning's Book "Americans of Royal Descent" puts in two Generations Links between Sampson Leonard and Thomas of Ponipool, who was the father of James Taunton. Bishop william Andrew Leonard, in his book "Stephen Banks Leonard" also puts in two links VIZ. Sir Henry (12 Baron Dacre) and Sir Richard (13 Lord Dacre).
   
   Fanny Leonard Koster however, in her book "The annals of the Leonard family" says that Thomas Leonard of Pontipool 1577-1638 was the 3rd son of Lady Margaret and Sampson and her dates seem to be more plausable that thos of the others. Sir Henry Leonard b. 1569 was only 8 years older than Thomas Leonard of Pontipool and could not have been his father and still less his Grandfather. Therefore I follow Fanny Leonards Koster's data in this matter the Pedigree Page 304 "Legends and Loves and Loyalties of old New England C.L. Goodenough.
   
   According to Browning and Bishop W.A. Leonard the line is as follows:
   
   John Leonard-Barrister of Lincoln's Inn Fields 1508-1590
   Sampson Leoard
   Sir Henry Leonard b. 1569 12 Lord Dacre Md. Lady Chrisogona Baker Daughter of Sir Richard Baker of Kent
   Richard Leonard D. 1630 13 Lord Dacre Md. Lady Anne Throckmorton
   Thomas Leonard Younger Son of above and Brother to Francis 14 Lord Dacre Md. Lydia White

   *I am one of the Grandchildren of Clarine (Clara) Ruth Bragg and make note here that I submitted my family dates and records as a courtesy years ago to the Utah data Records as there was nothing in the files insofar as regards ancestors, descendants, siblings, and birthdates/dates of death and internment of many of the individuals. New information is posted and uploaded as I discover it as many relatives still live overseas in areas such as the United Kingdom, and of course, Australia, etcetera.
