Leonard name. The furthest back Leonard I know of is Barney Leonard, b. 1825 Ireland, who was a coal miner in Carbon and Luzerne counties, Pennsylvania. His wife was Margaret Ryan, b. 1831 Pennsylvania to William and Margaret Ryan. Their oldest child named on census was Michael, b. 1847, Pennsylvania, and youngest was Frank, b. Oct 1871 Pennsylvania. Seven children were named on the 3 census I was able to find them on. I was able to find as adults three of their sons, and all were involved in the mining industry. You don't give any info on your Alphus Leonard, other than he was in Spokane in 1910. That might help figure out if he fits in somehow. Again, this (maybe) is not my family. I just find it curious that their descendants were lifelong friends of my grandfather, William Boyle, from Pennsylvania to Spokane.
