Shortly after the war, Leonard Kerby, along with his father and brothers, moved to Greenville, County, South Carolina.

On May 1, 1787, Leonard, Jesse, and Solomon Kirby made their first trek into Kentucky territory. They had a dual purpose: one was to hunt and accumulate furs; the other was to search out the new territory for prim land to lay claim to for a future move to Kentucky.

By August of 1797, Jesse and Sophia Kirby and their children were settled into their new home on Drake's Creek (Warren County) in Kentucky. Leonard and his family would soon follow them. By 1810, Leonard was living in Warren County, Ky with his wife, five sons, and four daughters. In 1820 he was living in Sumner Co., Tenn., on the Caney Fork branch of Drake's Creek. By 1840 he was again living in Warren Co., KY with his son, Leonard Kirby, Jr.

Married and appears to have had a large family.
