Name Meaning
English: perhaps an altered form of Leatherhead, a habitational name from Leatherhead (Surrey), which probably derives from Old English lēode ‘folk, people’ + ride ‘riding, place suitable for riding, bridle path’, or alternatively a habitational name from Lythwood in Shropshire, which is named from Old English hlith ‘slope’ + wudu ‘wood’.
History: Zachariah Leatherwood, a son of John Leatherwood, was born in Prince William County, VA c. 1735. After the revolutionary war, he settled in Spartanburg County, SC with his second wife, Jane Calvert, and many of his fourteen children.
