Note that there are THREE Henry Leinbach's in the 1810 census in Alsace, Berks Pa.
I think this one is accrurate based on ages.  Henry would be 58 in 1810.
His son Henry would be 26, and likely has his own family.
I am not certain who the 3rd Henry is in this census - I haven't studied this too hard at this point.

Research:
During the American Revolution, Henry served at least two terms.  In July 1776 he was listed as a private in Captain Daniel DeTurk's Company, which was part of Colonel Henry Haller's "Flying Camp."  In August 1776, Haller's regiment was ordered to New Jersey where it suffered heavy losses at Battle of Long Island.  Later Henry served another term, from 26 August to 26 October 1778, this time in Colonel Michael Lindenmuth's regiment.
After the war, Henry was a farmer  in Exeter Twonship where he appears in the 1790, 1800 and 1810 censuses.  About 1812, Henry and Catherine along with most of their children moved to the northern neck of Northumberland County, midway betwen Sunbury and Williamsport, whre they bought 394 acres of land in Turbot Township in 1813.  Henry settled in Turbotville, just fifteen miles south of Montoursville, the site of the Indian village to which hi father had traveled seventy years earlier.

 ===================================================
 Henery Leinbach Sr. served first in Captain Daniel DeGurk’s company of Colonel Henery Haller’s battalion in the Berks militia in 1776, and then in 1778 the same company under Colonel Michael Lindemute.  With DeGurk’s company, he fought in New Jersey.  He was with Haller’s company under the command of General Edwards Hand at the Battle of Trenton, after the Battle of Long Island where the casualties were heavy.

Johan Heinrich Leinbach was born in Hochstadt, Germany on November 26, 1705.  In 1739, he married Johanna Hermann, born March 16, 1718 to Daniel Hermann and Maria Catharine Elizabeth Obermuller. Johan was a farmer by trade.  They had ten children: Anna (1740), Elizabeth(1742), Anna Catharine (1744), Daniel (1746), Maria (1748), Heinrich (1752), Salome (1755),Christian (1757) and Johannes (1759).  Heinrich died in Pennsylvania between 1772 and 1777.  It has been stated that Johanna later married George Lechler.

Heinrich L. Leinbach was born March 11, 1752 and married Catherine Keller, born April 4, 1754.  Natives of Berks County Pennsylvania, they moved to Northumberland County, PA in 1800 and settled on a farm in Lewis Twp.  Henry was a veteran of the Revolutionary War.  Henry died     Dec. 17, 1832 and is buried in Paradise Cemetery  near Milton.  The death date for Catherine is not currently known.  They were the proud parents of 11 children: Christiana, Sarah, Catherine, Magdalena, Barbara, Judaz, Elizabeth, Susanna, John, Henry L., and Judith M.

=====================================================
From the Find A Grave Listing:
h/o Catherine Keller.f/o Henry L. Leinbach Jr, John Leinbach, Judith Frymire, Magdalena Schmeck, Christiana Karcher, Susanna Freed, Sarah Smith, Elizabeth Gehret, Anna Barbara Heckman, & Maria Catherine Wentzel.

Henry LEINBACH Sr. burial is all circumstanial. No Tombstone, but I'm Guessing he would have buried here. I wanted to honor him for his service in the Revolutionary War and thank him for Americans Freedom.

*According to US Veterians Gravesites has Henry LEINBACH 11 Mar 1752 - 17 Dec 1832. PVT US ARMY REVOLUTIONARY WAR, buried at Paradise Cemetery, Rd 2 Milton, PA 17847.

born Henrich LEINBACH 11 Mar 1752 Oley Twp, Berks County, PA s/o Johan Henrich LEINBACH & Johanna Salome HERMON. brother of Johan Daniel Leinbach (1746-1817), Johannes (1759), Anna Beck (1740-1780), Anna Elizabeth (1742-1810), Anna Catharine (1744-1748), Salome (1755-1757); Christian (1757). There is some confusion about his brother Daniel one of the Berks County, PA histories have him as son of Johannes. Daniel was married 3 times and has like 18 kids, most of the Leinbach of berks county are descedants of this Daniel.

The Leinbach family where associated with the Morvian Church but soon left it to for Reformed Lutheran Church.

Still looking for clues for Henry & Catherine three daughters Sarah Smith, Elizabeth Gehret, & Maria Catherine Wentzel.

========================================================
Found on a genforum:
I found the name Leinbach in the Sweney (note spelling)family bible.Rebecca Leinbach was born in Turbut Nothern Cumberland Co, PA on the 19th day of June 1829 of Henry and Mary Ann Leinbach and was baptized by Rev. Mr. Waggoner in 1830.  (I believe that would be Northumberland, not North Cumberland) and this would be the daughter of Henry & Mary Barnhart, grandaughter of Henry & Catherine Leinbach.)
