-- Leonard --
Leonard was just a toddler when both his parents died in 1812. In 1814 Benjamin and Lydia Barber adopted him, and he was baptized in the Congregational Church in Otis, Mass.


Leonard:

The Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois and Knox County mentions Leonard and his brother Darius,
emigrants from New York,
having settled in Section 15 in Knox County in the autumn of 1837.
In 1840 Leonard is listed on the Peoria County, Illinois census. A review of the county
borders of Knox County and Peoria County reveals just a slight change to the Knox County boundary
between 1837 and 1841, but not enough to shift Leonard s property from Knox County to Peoria
County. Leonard probably settled in Peoria County between 1837 and 1840, then moved to Knox County
in 1841.


-- Leonard --
A small cemetery is located on the land that Leonard owned. The cemetery today has twelve tombstones, all in excellent condition and easily readable. One is Leonard who died 11 Feb. 1861 and four are his children. John P. died just one week after his father, and Angeline A. died the following month on March 30th. Leonard s grandson, Samuel Leonard Adams, the son of James and Amelia (Jones) Adams, is also buried inthe Jones-Dalton Cemetery. Samuel died July 1, 1859.
