Please mail to me (6 Briardale Ct., Derwood, MD 20855) your
connections/queries on the LEAVITT family and I'll mail you what I have.

Basically, it's just 3 generations of early LEAVITTs to NH:

1.      Immigrant Thomas LEAVITT b. c. 1616 prob. Yorkshire, ENG
        d. 28 Nov 1696 Hampton NH
        m. c. 1644 to Isabella BLAND, widow Francis ASTIN/AUSTIN
                dau. Joshua & Joanna BLAND 
                (she had perhaps 3 ASTIN ch. prior to LEAVITT mar.)
        There were 4 sons born: Aretas, Hezron, James, and

2.      Sgt. John LEAVITT, b. c. 1648 Hampton NH
        d. c. 1726/27
        m. 28 May 1701 to Deliverance ROBIE, b. 17 Feb 1685 to John
                ROBIE & Anne--, wid. George CORLISS

3.      Deliverance LEAVITT, b. 6 or 16 May 1719 Hampton NH
        d. 31 Oct 1736
        m. 7 Nov 1734 Jeremiah CLOUGH Sr.

Unique dates here - Sgt. John didn't first marry until age 53, and then
married a 17 year old girl and only one child is born 18 years later  
when he is 71  (?!) - I have only copied from secondary sources  
(several) and this is *not* your typical pioneer N.E. family data!

This is all that seems to be known from such sources as: Libby, Noyes, 
 Thornton "Gen. Dict. of ME & NH"; Dow's "History of Hampton NH".
I do have copies of both Thomas and Sgt. John's wills as printed in  
"Probate Records of Province of NH", and a NEHGR article postulating 
on  the English origins of the LEAVITT/LEVET family.
