D. BENHAM & Ms. LEONARD ~ father-in-law Benjamin LEONARD d. 1872 Brooklyn NY>MA
Posted by: Jan Jordan (ID *****1076) Date: June 24, 2008 at 14:40:50
  of 918

Seeking first name of D. Benham who married a Ms. LEONARD. This was Jane (LEONARD) ATWATER's sister.
Their father was Benjamin LEONARD who died 28 July 1872 in Brooklyn, NY.
[Please see the obituary below.]
Apparently he would have been buried near his wife (Jane BARBER or BARKER) who must have died in MA. This is a rough draft; additions and corrections are welcomed.

from Brooklyn, New York Daily Eagle
Jul 29, 1872 page 3
LEONARD - On Sunday, July 28, Benjamin Leonard aged 87 years.
Funeral services will be held at his late residence, 231 Putnam avenue near Nostrand, this day (Monday), July 29, at 4 o'clock P.M. His relatives and friends and those of his sons-in-law, D. Benham and J. H. Atwater, are in- vited to attend. His remains will be taken to Massachusetts for interment.

Thanks to Albert for this lookup above.
Hope you can help my cousins and I,
Jan Jordan <jnrose@webtv.net>
