230. Leonard⁷ Fillebrown (Thomas⁶, Isaac⁵, Thomas⁴, Thomas³, Humpfrey² Phillibrowne, Robert¹ ffilebrowne)⁽²⁸¹⁵⁾ was born in Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts February 23, 1790.⁽²⁸¹⁶⁾ Leonard died June 7, 1865 in Lawrence, Essex County, Massachusetts, at 75 years of age.⁽²⁸¹⁷⁾

Leonard married Hannah Richardson April 1, 1819 in Middlesex County, Massachusetts.⁽²⁸¹⁸⁾ Hannah was born December 3, 1792 in West Nottingham, Rockingham County, New Hampshire.⁽²⁸¹⁹⁾ (Additional notes for Hannah Richardson⁽²⁸²⁰⁾) Hannah died January 23, 1880 in Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, at 87 years of age.⁽²⁸²¹⁾ After the death of her husband she lived with her daughter Hannah, Mrs. Samuel Purington until her death.

Conflicting evidence states that Hannah was born December 3, 1792 in Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.⁽²⁸²²⁾ Hannah, as Leonard's wife, resided with him in West Cambridge (now Arlington), Middlesex County, Massachusetts.⁽²⁸²³⁾ When Hannah was age 27 and Leonard Fillebrown was age 29 they became the parents of Hannah Fillebrown February 22, 1820 in Charlestown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.⁽²⁸²⁴⁾ When Hannah was age 29 and Leonard Fillebrown was age 32 they became the parents of Samuel Richardson Fillebrown March 12, 1822.⁽²⁸²⁵⁾ When Hannah was age 30 and Leonard Fillebrown was age 33 they became the parents of Almira Fillebrown October 16, 1823.⁽²⁸²⁶⁾ When Hannah was age 33 and Leonard Fillebrown was age 35 they became the parents of Leonard Fillebrown Jr. December 16, 1825 in Lawrence, Essex County, Massachusetts.⁽²⁸²⁷⁾ When Hannah was age 35 and Leonard Fillebrown was age 37 they became the parents of George Washington Fillebrown December 21, 1827 in Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.⁽²⁸²⁸⁾ Hannah was probably a free white female, age 30 and under 40, in Leonard Fillebrown's household, on the 1830 Census in Charlestown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.⁽²⁸²⁹⁾ A male in the age range 20 to 30 also lived in the home at this time. Perhaps either a brother of Leonard or Hannah.

Hannah was probably a free white female, age 40 and under 50, in Leonard Fillebrown's household, on the 1840 Census in Charlestown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.⁽²⁸³⁰⁾ The census indicated that 9 people lived in the household. If Leonard and Hannah as well as their 5 children and their son-in-law Samuel are included it accounts for 8 people. Two of the males are in the wrong age group but that kind of error is not unusual. The 9th person has not been identified.

Hannah, as Leonard's wife, resided with him in Lawrence, Essex County, Massachusetts.⁽²⁸³¹⁾
