Hello Joachim,
My mothers side of the family (Leonhardt) first came to the US during the revolutionary war as Hessian Soldiers. Some stayed after and some returned to Germany(no names). My family line returned to the US (from Hessen)on July 04, 1851(6)?.
They were:
Father-- Heinrich Fredrick Leonhardt
Children:
1. Karl Frederick Leonhardt(bootmaker)
with Amelia Neimier (later married)
2. Conrad Leonhardt
3. Frederick Leonhardt
4. Karolina Leonhardt
5. Wilhimina Leonhardt
6. Wilhelm Leonhardt
Does this help?
sincerely, Richard Badger
