Leavitt, 2767 South 2nd East, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115; Miss Lila Cahoon, Box 682, Cardston, Alberta, Canada. !One FGS says birth 30 May 1796, in Exeter, Rockingham, NH, and another says 30 May 1797 in Grantham, Sullivan, NH. 2do: check it out. Line 434 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: DEAT PLAC Btwn Bonopart & Mt Pisgah, V-Brn, IA Line 438 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: BAPL 1833 13 JAN 1920 Jeremiah died in Iowa where he had gone to get supplies for his family living in Nauvoo. There is some indication that his wife, Sarah Sturdevant Leavitt, may have been the first one to learn of the Mormons. She had joined the Baptist church, and in a Baptist publication first read mention of the Mormons. She kept a journal, which will probably include family history valuable to the Leavitt heritage. Children sealed to Jeremiah and his wife Sarah Sturdevant Leavitt on 27 Dec 1888: Ann Leavitt, dead, born 1817, Vermont (died age 12 days) Louisa Leavitt Jones, born 20 June 1818, Hatley, Lower Canada, d. 29 May 1855 Jeremiah Leavitt, b. 10 Feb 1822, Hatley, died 12 Apr 1878 Lydia Leavitt Snow, born 11 July 1823 (no death date listed) Ware Leavitt, born 1825, died July 1850 Lemuel Studefant Leavitt, born 2 Nov 1827 (no death date listed) Betsy Leavitt Hamblin, b. 12 May 1839, Twelve Miles Grove, Cayaga, ILL sealed to parents Jeremiah Leavitt, dead, born 1794, N.H. died 1846 and Sarah Studefant Leavitt, dead, born 5 Sept 1798, Caledonia, N.H. died Apr 1878 Thomas Rowel Hamblin acting for father Jeremiah Laura Melvina Leavitt Knight acting for mother Sarah No. 6 (Lemuel) activing for #3 (Jeremiah) No. 7 (Dudley) actigng for #5 (Ware) No. 8 (Mary Ameila) acting for no. 1 (Ann) No. 9 (Betsey) acting for no. 2 (Louisa) No. 10 (Sarah) acting for #4 (Lydia) film 170583, page 699. (Note that Thomas R. Leavitt is not included in this sealing list; he must have been sealed at a different time. His history identifies him as the ninth child, and that would place him between Mary Amelia and Betsy. There is apparently also one other child missing, as there is said to be 12 children.)

Note:   (Research):Email from Laura Walkey on 25 Mar 2007 to JVL for WALF: I have searched through the Drouin Collection database at Ancestry.com in the hopes of finding further information on Betsy BEAN's death and second marriage and a baptism for her son, Simon. Below is a summary of that search. Ancestry.com has records for the following churches in the general geographical area in which we might expect to find these records: Stanstead (Adventist Church): 1856-1916 Stanstead (Baptist Church): 1834-1880 NOT FOUND Stanstead (Congregation Church): 1838-1907 NOT FOUND Stanstead (Couvent des Ursulines): 1892-1926 Stanstead (Methodist Church): 1831-1926 NOT FOUND Stanstead (Sacr�-Coeur-de-J�sus): 1848-1940 Stanstead (United Church): 1927-1942 Stanstead Plain and Beebe Plain Church of England: 1857-1942 Rock Island (Congregation Church): 1880-1942 Rock Island (Notre-Dame-la-Merci): 1916-1940 Beebe (Adventist Church): 1878-1927 Beebe (Baptist Church): 1878-1934 Beebe (Methodist Church): 1880-1926 Beebe (Ste-Th�r�se-de-l Enfant-de-J�sus): 1925-1940 Beebe (United Church): 1927-1942 Hatley (Adventist Church): 1899-1921 Hatley (Baptist Church): 1842-1942 NOT FOUND Hatley (Church of England): 1818-1942 NOT FOUND Hatley (Congregation Church): 1862 & 1900 only Hatley (Methodist Church): 1841-1926 (1844 is missing) Hatley (Presbyterian Church): 1887, 1895, 1896 only Hatley (United Church): 1927-1941 Hatley East: 1909, 1910, 1915 only Hatley North (Church of England): 1906-1917 Hatley North (Universalist Church): 1896-1942 Compton (Baptist Church): 1867-1895 Compton (Church of England): 1840-1942 NOT FOUND Compton (Methodist Church): 1840-1925 (1844 is missing) Compton (St-Thomas-d Aquin): 1855-1940 Compton (United Church): 1926-1942 Now there are still possibilities in the churches where the records this time period are not listed or if the events took place in another location. Any suggestions on other churches to search? On a related note, I am attaching 2 images of the other entries I mentioned in my first message (LEAVITT ADAMS marriage.jpg and LEAVITT FISH marriage.jpg). Please let me know if they turn out. It's quite exciting to see so much progress in such a short period of time -- the pieces are certainly starting to fall into place. Cheers, -- Laury Walkey (Miss)
