I am fairly sure that the Andrew Leonard above is your relative but the age difference [8 years] bothers me. There is an A. J. Leonard listed in the Federal Census of 1860:

1860 United States Federal Census
about A J Leonard
Name: A J Leonard
Age in 1860: 30
Birth Year: abt 1830
Birthplace: Tennessee
Home in 1860: Griggs, Van Buren, Arkansas
Gender: Male
Post Office: Clinton
Household Members: Name Age
A J Leonard 30 w/m Farmer b. Tn abt 1830
Celine C Leonard 19 w/f b. Ark abt 1841
Sarah E Leonard 2 w/f b. TN abt 1858
Felix Leonard 10 w/m b. TN abt 1850
Richard Leonard 23 w/m b. TN abt 1837

Again, the age is off, this time by 9 yrs according to your information and I have no idea what the relationships are. I assume that Celine is his wife, and Sarah his daughter. But Felix is ??? son by former marriage? Nephew? Richard is who? Brother? Cousin?

Could this be Richard?

It doesn't appear as if Andrew or Richard had military service.
