His children grew up in Nelson Co at Old Boston. His land lay along Pine
Tavern Rd. and Lick Creek. The homeplace was called Farmington, was a roomy
log homestead and stood slightly south of the creek and west of the road.
Leonard was a tanner and a merchant as well as a farmer. The large tannery and
log store faced the road south of the creek. Some of the slaves were skilled
tanners, and the time-worn tanning stone, long after it had served its original
purpose, was made a part of the style blocks at the Boston Christian Church,
and in 1981, when I made a trip there, was still a stepping stone beside the
entrance drive to accommodate communicants arriving in motor cars.
Buried in Troutman Cemetery, p 67, Nelson Co, KY Cemeteries, Vol III. I have
photos of tombstones."
