John and Leonard Harriman, (brothers,) Yorkshire Puritans, emigrated from Rowley, in Yorkshire, England, about the year 1638, Leonard being sixteen years of age. He is believed by some to have been of the first company. Yorkshire is the largest county of England, and is situated in the north central part, midway between London and Edinburgh.

Leonard Harriman, -(brother of John who went to New Haven.) is found among the early settlers of Rowley, Mass., and was "admitted freeman" in 1647, when the name on the records is given— Hurry man. Rowley then embraced the present Rowley, and also Boxford Grove land, Bradlord, and Georgetown. He bought, in 166- of John Todd, the houselot laid out to John Spofford on Bradford Street, now the corner of Bradford and Common Streets. He was a farmer and a mechanic; and in the latter capacity manufactured looms. It is thought the loom shop stood on the brook, at the rear of the other buildings, and was run by water.

A record of Rowley, sometime before 1664, shows Leonard was taxed £0, 8, 9.

His wife was Margaret , who died October 20, 1676. He died May 26, 1691. His will was dated 12 May, 1691, proved 24 September, 1691.

Leonard Harriman and Margaret his wife, had a daughter, born 1649; John, born March 1650; Matthew, born June 16, 1652; married Elizabeth Swan; Hannah, born March 22, 1655 ; married Caleb Boynton. May 26, 1674; Jonathan, born October 5, 1657;Mary, married June 25, 1691.
