LEONARD Chris Leonard, Tadzio69@aol.com August 2, 1998, updated April 30, 2000
update to query for JAMES H. LEONARD: Wife's name was Mary (Polly) Van Tassel
my great great great grandfather James H. Leonard was born in 1797 in delaware county and moved with his wife Mary V. (called Polly) to seneca county some time before my great great grandfather DeWitt Clinton Leonard was born in 1817. James's next 2 children were also born in seneca co, Eliza Jane (m. Silas Sawyer) in 1821 and Henry B. (?Benjamin?) in 1823. he family moved to newfane in niagara county in 1829. other children were named Anna Amy (m. John Lewis), Rosanna V. (m. George Spencer), Mariah M. (m. Nathan Peck) and John V. (m. Lorinda Peck.)
i am not sure of James's father's name, but the names James, Henry, Benjamin and John seem to recur for males in the family. they may have come from new jersey (Polly was born there) or alternatively may have emigrated from MA where there were quite a few Leonards. Or they may have emigrated directly from england. i have not been able to trace back further than James so far.
if you have any info on any of these individuals, or have any ideas about how i could proceed in investigating the resources in seneca county to try to find out the parents or possibly siblings of James H., please drop me a line. thank you!

O'DELL J. E.Killick February 20, 1998
Who are parents of Archibald O'DELL? He and his family were enumerated in Seneca Falls, Seneca County, NY, in 1850 Federal Census. Archibald was age 49 and a brickmaker. His wife is Eliza, age 47; son Austin, age 18, a boatman; dau. Dorcas age 11; dau. Lydia age 7.

PONTIUS, RICHLEY Julie Ritchly Grove Noble, nobles@evcom.net July 14, 1999
Researching surnames RITCHLEY and PONTIUS in Seneca County in the late 1840's and 1850's.
Looking for more information on Joseph RITCHLEY listed in 1850 Census for Seneca County, NY, possible brother to my 3 Great Grandfather Moritz RITCHLEY, who may also have lived in Seneca County for a brief period.. Also looking for Sarah PONTIUS who married Moritz RITCHLEY in New York and left for Ohio around 1857. Joseph RITCHLEY also moved to Ohio before 1860. There were at least the following PONTIUS families living in Seneca County in 1850: 1) family of George W. PONTIUS; 2) family of John PONTIUS. If anyone has information on either of these two surnames, please contact me.

PRINDLE Horace Prindle, hprindle@gis.net Oct. 30, 1998
I am trying to find the parents of Enos Prindle and have seen a census of an Enos Prindle in OVID in 1810. There is a possibility that his fathers name was David or Samuel, but I have no solid links to reach this conclusion. He was born in 1784 and died inRedford Michigan in 1855. He had property in Wayne, Steuben cty from 1819 to 1834 when he and his family moved to Michigan. He was married to Eleanor Miller and possibly Polly Odle. Then again this may have been another Enos Prindle.

PUNCHES Jill Punches, Punches@aol.com Sept. 10, 1999
I am looking for birth information on Martin L. Punches born bet. 1817-1820 in New York and I believe in Seneca County. He had a younger brother, Moses Punches and an older brother (I think Daniel). All three brothers were listed in the 1850 Census in Sandusky County, Ohio with Martin's wife being Elizabeth Clark, also from New York, who had been previously married with 3 children.
Martin's mother's name was Magdalena and she was born in PA. His father's name may have been David.
Any help is appreciated.
