Note

Note: According to notes written March 2, 1960 by Gladys Evina Borden Chapman, Leonard was married to an Indian. Now that we know Leonard's wife was actually Amy Montross, it appears the Indian connection may be on the Montross side, since Jacob Montross, Amy's grandfather, is said to have had an Indian wife.
