General Notes (Husband)
Leonard was born in Tennessee in 1816. He married Mary Ann Bonine about 1841 and raised six children, four were born in Tennessee and his last two were born in Arkansas. Shortly after his marriage, Leonard moved the family from Tennessee to Arkansas. On September the 10th, 1857 he received the first of four land patients. It was for 116.3 acres. He received his second patent a month later for an additional 40 acres. His last patient came in 1874 giving him a total of 236.3 acres which he farmed.
Leonard again moved his family around 1871 to the golden state of Colorado. Here he applied for and was granted a land patent for 160 acres in June of 1872.
On this land he built a one room cabin which is still standing as a National Historic Land Mark. It is located on the grounds of the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Leonard received one last patient of an additional 80 acres on January 25th 1890. The same year his wife Mary Ann died. She was buried on the land with three of their Grandchildren. Leonard died in 1899 and was buried next to Mary Ann.

General Notes (Wife)
Mary Ann was buried near her cabin on what is now on the United States Air Force Academy grounds. Her remains along with her husbands were discovered in an unmarked grave by construction workers preparing the ground on what is now the 50 yard line of the United States Air Force Academy Stadium. Mary Ann and Leonard were relocated to their present site next to the Burgess cabin on the southern end of the Academy grounds. Her grave marker bore the inscription: "Sarah Capps, 1819-1896." This inscription was corrected May of 2004 and new grave markers were errected.
