ResearchNote*	Research Note of 24 March 2020 re FSTrees. Entry for Leonard Vandergrift (1754-1828), ID no. LW6R-QZ9, shows a couple of Revolutionary War records but I find no evidence suggesting they are for this particular Leonard.      FSTrees also lists the following censuses for Leonard but there are so many Leonards in St. Georges that it's hard to know which one(s) these refer to: * 1800, Legnard Vandegrift Jr, St. Georges Hd. * 1810, Leonard Vandegrift, St. Georges Hd. * 1820, Leonard Vandegrift, St. Georges Hd. * 1830, Lnard Vandegrift, St. Georges Hd.
