Notes
a. Note:   Sources: History of Royalton, Vermont: In 1797 Nehemiah bought 50 acres in W.2L.A., which small farm he incresed from time to time. His home was where Horace Royce lived, and he is said to have built that house. The Phineas Goff farm was a part of his. He arranged with Jonathan in 1814 to support himself and Polly, but he thought better off it later and sold out in 1831 and was in Maine in February, 1835 in No. 6, Third Range, County of Penobscot. The legislature of Maine gave him the whole township of Smyrna if he would get 100 settlers on it at a certain time. He gave each man 1 lot and sold the rest. Nehemiah's mother (Judith) lived with him in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont after his father's death. Sometime later than 1835, Nehemiah lived with his daughter Lucilva -he also died there. Pedigree Resource File, CD#17 In 1830, the State of Maine granted a township to Nehemiah Leavitt, a Methodist Minister from Royalton Vermont provided he could place one hundred settlers on the town within five years, build a sawmill, a gristmill and four schoolhouses. The present day Lilley Farms was the site chosen by Mr. Leavitt to build a cabin for his bride when they first arrived in Smyrna. Realizing that he was not going to meet the requirements, Mr. Leavitt applied for and received a five-year extension. Nehemiah Leavitt Jr. was a land surveyor and in 1836 lotted the town of Smyrna � all deeds refer to this survey. The town was incorporated as the Town of Smyrna March 7, 1839. Mr. Leavitt still could not fulfill the conditions and sold his claim of twenty three thousand acres to Mr. Dunn and Mr. Jefferds. In 1841, Mr. Dunn and Mr. Jefferds built a sawmill on the East Side of the East Branch of the Mattawamkeag River. Mr. Leavitt continued to live in Smyrna until 1846 when he left to go west.
