Biography
Private John (Leonhardt) Leonard served with North Carolina Militia during the American Revolution.
John (Leonhardt) Leonard is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A069296.
Jacob Leonard was born in 1758. He was the son of Valentine Leonhardt and Elizabeth Wallacher. He passed away in 1835.
Jacob Leonard served under command of Captain John Lopp, (Light Horse), Majors Smith and White as per his DAR patriot record.
Note: Part of Rowan County became modern Davidson County in 1822. Hence why, in the 1820 census, it lists his location as Lexington, Rowan County. See the Find-a-grave page linked below in the sources for more detailed bio information.

I do agree and hope that Logan Chesson will weigh in. The bio of [Leonhardt-201], though, says it is under construction (has said that for some time), and refers to the same Find A Grave memorial as this profile, so if he doesn't weigh in soon, I think we could take that as implicit acquiescence.
As for Leonhardt vs Leonard, I think the guidelines say that the primary surname should the spelling used at birth, if known. My recollection is that the parents were using the name Leonhardt when they resided in Philadelphia, but were spelling it Leonard by the time they arrived in North Carolina. The source mentioned in this profile ("Seven Hundred Ancestors") is not a primary source. Do you know of one that spells the name Leonhardt?
