Book Title: Page 108 From "A History. Of The Town Of Poultney, Vermont, From Its Settlement To The Year 1875, With Family And Biographical Sketches And Incidents. Published By J. Joslin, B. Frisbie And F. Ruggles. Poultney: Journal Printing Office. 1875."


The Congregational Church 
September 30, 1802, at church meeting, "Voted unanimously to give Rev. Mr. Leonard a
call to preach on probation." December 6th, of the same year (1802), "Gave a
unanimous call to the Rev. Samuel Leonard to settle with them, and labor one half of
the time for the present." Rev. Mr. Leonard's letter of acceptance hears the same
date. 

At his own request, he was dismissed by an Ecclesiastical Council, held the first
Wednesday in June, 1821. He removed from Poultney, and died in Chesterfield,
Michigan, April 19, 1862, at the advanced age of 85 years.
