Notes
a. Note:   The 1982 Nehemiah book p 37 begins with Joseph b 1782, saying he m Eliza Godfrey; the Joseph of this lineage was born later. It appears that it WAS the Joseph of that lineage who married Eliza Godfrey, but the six children listed there belong elsewhere under my Joseph Leavitt, who was really born 1782 and m Mary Ann Walls. We don't know yet who Joseph's parents were, but circumstantial evidence points to Nehemiah, son of John Leavitt & Abigail Giles, and possible brother of Daniel whose descendants res in Parkman-Cambridge area; we are looking for DNA evidence to back up that theory. My proof is the Cambridge, Maine town records (VR 1792-1868 microfilm roll 97 page 24 at the Maine State Archives). The family page lists, quote, "Joseph Leavitt born Oct 18, 1782, Mary Ann his wife born Apr 19, 1808. Their children Vilett b Nov 26, 1826 and Ralph July 18, 1828 both born in Montville. Joseph Jr b Dec 30, 1829 and Mary Lodema Aug 30, 1831, both born in Lincoln. Laura Emeline b Dec 18, 1836 and John b Jan 22, 1839 both born 'at the Aroostook' [I'm unsure of the exact location of that]. Became citizens of Cambridge Feb 1844." "At the Aroostook", Katie writes: "That was a designation for the wilderness north of the settled areas of what is now Penobscot County. My ancestor was killed in "the wilderness of the Aroostook" according to county probate records. At the time (1827) the family lived in Passadumkeag just south of Lincoln. His son found his body and buried him. His gravesite has never been discovered. Later his son and family were the second settlers in what is now Masardis (1835/6) at the junction of the St. Croix and Aroostook Rivers. During this time that territory was in dispute with Great Britain and the entire area was called The Aroostook-a Wabanaki word. - Katie"

Note:   (Research):Sources: Maine Vital Records and M and D indexes, census, SSDI, MA VR to 1910, family contributions, cemetery records. "Joseph Leavitt and Sally Clark both of the plantation of Davistown, were married 29 Aug 1803 by Rev Kiah Bayley" of Lincoln Co. Recorded on p105 of a manuscript "VR of Edgecomb & Newcastle ME to the year 1892 v2" compiled by Christine Huston Dodge 1979, at the Damariscotta Skidompha Library [the person who published the Old Bristol & Nobleboro VR.]. Also in the Newcastle VR microfilm. Note that Rev Kiah Bayley was Mary Ann Wall's uncle; he married her mother's sister Olive Carter. This Joseph born 1782 married Mrs Sarah Clark 29 Aug 1803, m2) Hannah Weeks 1820 with no known issue, and married third Mary Ann Walls 1826 [Montville and Cambridge, Maine Town Records]. Montville (inc. 1807, previously both Davis Town, Hancock Co and Davistown, Lincoln Co in 1800 census). Town records list the information below about Joseph Leavitt. Note that there is no "Jr" or any other indication that there was more than one Joseph Leavitt in town. Spellings are at the mercy of the town clerks. Joseph Leavitt is the ONLY adult Leavitt to show up in Montville censuses, land records, and town records. Joseph Leavitt was a prominent figure in Montville, since at least 1803 and until about 1829 when we know he moved to Lincoln. If there was more than one, there would have some indication, but there is a seamless stream of mentions of this one Joseph Leavitt in the town records and land deeds. Montville had 50 families and 270 inhabitants in 1800; 864 inhabitants in 1810; and 203 families in 1820. That's easy enough to keep track of.
