Mercy Leonard, b. Dec. 1, 1714; d. June 5, 1795, at Bennington, Vt. We seem to be more interested in this child of Mercy (Newton) Leonard, because the mother died at her birth and gave the child to Moses Newton, who brought her up, and had her with him until she married—a child, as it were, of his old age. He gives to her in his will about the same portion that it was then usual to give to a daughter when she marries, and provides that she shall be maintained from his substance until she does marry. But he lived to see her settled in life. She married May 29, 1732, Samuel Robinson, Jr., son of Samuel and Sarah (Manning) Robinson of Cambridge, where he was born 1707.[1]

(Leonard, sometimes written Leonardson, Lunnerson and Lenner, is always written by the family Leonard.)
