Husband of Maria Katerina Boyer 1735-1785. Father of Catherine Leatherman Moser 1767-1855.
The family farm "GERMAN PLAINS" was surveyed on February 10, 1743, but not assigned to Daniel Leatherman until May 21, 1762. daniel Leatherman was cited as a leader of the Church of the German Baptist Brethern. A note in the survey book states "I have received the sum of three pounds and four shillings for sixteen years [quit] rent of the within land in March 1759. 'German Plains' was located northeast of Ellerton on a branch of the Catoctin Creek above Meyersville.
"German Plains" surveyed by Daniel Dulany on Feb. 10, 1743, was located northeast of today's Ellerton. It was not patented until well after Dulany's death when, on May 21, 1762, its 100 acres were assigned to Daniel Leatherman. An early minister with the German Baptist Brethern. Elder Leatherman may well have been in the area earlier than that date. We have record of him in the Conewago area of Penn. in 1738-1741, but cannot verify factually the tradition that he came to Maryland in 1756. His correspondence with Alexander Mack, Jr. in 1785-1794 was dated at Sandbergen, but equating with Sand Flat east of Wolfsville or with the area near Garfield is unproved.
