~OUR FAMILIES ANCESTRAL ROOTS~

Johann Leonhardt was the son of Johann Wendel Storm, b. 1709 in Klein-Schifferstadt, and Christina Margaretha Ebbert. He immigrated with them from Germany in 1749, along with his brothers Daniel and Jacob, and sister Anna Maria.

He married Anna Mary Hoffman 13 Dec 1756 in Frederick, Maryland, British Colonial America.

COMMENT: Anna Barbara Hoffman was the wife of Leonhardt's uncle, Johannes Storm, b. ca. 1733 to Jacob Storm and Anna Benedictina Sauer.

Revolutionary War Patriot, served in Maryland as a soldier.

His stone is harder to read from the weathering, so we purchased him a metal plaque in 2002. (although is now missing Jan. 07')
