Is John Leonard a PGM ancestor? [closed]

Question

John Leonard is listed as emigrating c 1638.  He is not mentioned in GM.

Do we want him "PGM?

Answer 1

It sounds like you only checked the volumes of GM that go through 1635. The Great Migration Directory includes individuals who came between 1636 and 1640, and states:

John Leonard: Unknown; 1638; Springfield [SpTR 161; SpVR 19; Pynchon Court 205 ; Hale-House 678-82].

Since he is in the GMD, he definitely gets the Puritan Great Migration project box, so I have added it to his profile.

The unknown means Anderson views his origin as unknown. If you want to update the profile with more sources, the codes here mean:

SpTR: Springfield, Massachusetts, Town Records

SpVR: Clifford L. Stott, comp., Vital Records of Springfield, Massachusetts to 1850, 6 vols. (Boston 2003)

Pynchon Court: Colonial Justice in Western Massachusetts (1639-1702), The Pynchon Court Record. An Original Judges’ Diary of the Administration of Justice in the Springfield Courts in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Joseph H. Smith, ed. (Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1961)

Hale-House: Donald Lines Jacobus and Edgar Francis Waterman, Hale, House and Related Families, Mainly of the Connecticut River Valley (Hartford 1952; rpt. Baltimore 1978)

Thanks, Barry.

I've added the PGM project account as co-manager. And I added PPP because he has disputed origins.

I was aware that the version on ancestry.com of GM was not complete but now I see ....There is a difference to the content shown on ancestry.com and the 'full' edition of The Great Migration 'Book" you are accessing on American Ancestors."

Thanks Barry.  I replied to Jilliane - I was aware that the edition on ancestry.com was not the "full" book  but this is an example...........There is a difference to the content shown on ancestry.com and the full edition of The Great Migration 'Book"

I still want a vote for finding John...

AmericanAncestors only has the GM series up to 1635, so that might be the same as Ancestry. The Great Migration Directory is only available for purchase. I bit the bullet and got the e-book a few days ago. This is my first G2G response with a GMD lookup!
