Leonard first married Beata Margaretha "Margaret" Beatha (b.1755, d.1786) about 1773. They had 5 children they named: Christian, George, Anna Catherine, Lenina and Jacob.
A record of indenture for "John Leonard Erich" and Margaret, his wife, dated 30 Sep 1773, (Philadelphia, PA Indentures) says that they were "bound out" to work for a term of 2 years and 1 month each as servants of Henry Weaver of Carnarvan Twp., Lancaster Co., PA.

The census reports from 1790 to 1820 show him as a farmer living in Strabane. In 1793, tax records show him with 95 acres, 20 cleared 2 horses, 2 cows, 1 house, 1 cabin.
Leonard's children used both Arick and Erick as their sir name. He is buried in a Strabane Cemetery, but which one is not clear at this time.
