    Notes 
    • Aged 24 when married.
      1790: voted, qualifying with house and land at Folkestone (owner occupier).
      1794:The Kentish Register records that a boat belonging to Mr Leonard Minter of Folkestone caught in one night in November 118,000 herrings which were sold for £157.
      Had 5 children in 1803.
      Seaman aged 47 in 1804, master of own vessel the undecked fishing lugger "Betsey" of 8 tons.
      Mentioned in will of Robert Milton (father of wife) proved 6 March 1809.

      May 2019. Records at findmypast.co.uk of 'Prisoners of War 1715 1945' include pages recording that a Leonard Minter, captain of marines belonging to the Achilles under Wm. Yawkins, coming from Dover "on a cruise", was captured by the Constant and taken to Brest as a prisoner, landing on 29 February. The year at the top of the page is 1779 which wasn't a leap year, so 29 February is either wrong or must refer to 1778.
      It's not known whether these details relate to Leonard Minter born 1757 but it seems possible.
