selected Ichabod Bonney to go to Sylvester- Canada, Maine, and forward the building of a saw and grist mill. This was the beginning of the town of Turner, Maine, and in 1778 Jacob Leavitt, with his wife and family, made the journey to the new land discovered by his son Joseph, and became prominent settlers, making their home in the house erected by their son. The venerable pioncer was the patri- arch of the Leavitt families of Turner. Jacob Leavitt died in Turner, Mainc, January 25, 1814, aged cighty-two years. He was the fa- ther of thirteen children, born of his marriage with Sylvia Bonney and of a second wife. Of these, Joseph (q. v.), born in Pembroke. Mas- sachusetts, 1755-56; Sylvia, married Levi Mor- rill ; Tabitha, married Benjamin Jones; Isaiah, inarried Lydia Ludden, September 7, 1797; Ja- cob, married Rhoda Thayer; Anna, married a Mr. Stockbridge; Cyrus, married Sarah Pratt ; Sarah, married Jeremiah Dillingham; Isaac, married Ruth Perry in 1797. He married as his second wife Hannah Chandler, who bore him two children, and his third wife had no children.
(V) Joseph, eldest son of Jacob and Sylvia (Bonney) Leavitt, was born in Pembroke, Plymouth county, Massachusetts. in 1755 or 1756; was one of the first of the young men of Pembroke to enter for service in the patriot cause in the American revolution. He served one enlistment of three months, when he de- termined to "raise bread for the soldiers," and he went to Maine to assist in the survey of the lands granted to soldiers for former serv- ice to the colony. He was eighteen years old when he was assisting in the survey of the township in Androscoggin county, Maine, and liking the county he expressed to the surveyors a desire to settle there, and he was assigned a lot in Sylvester township, next to the meet- ing house lot on Upper street, and he returned the next spring alone and lived in the wilder- ness with only savages about him, and he made a clearing and erected a block house. He sowed seed from which he realized a good crop. He aided in founding the town, which was first named Sylvester and then Turner, in honor of the Rev. Charles Turner, the first minister. He built the first frame building in the town, which became known as the Jo- seph Leavitt place, planted the first apple trees and raised the first apples. He maintained his house as a home for travelers, although he never put out a sign that would indicate it was a tavern. He married, in 1778, Anna, daughter of Moses and Hannah Davis Ste- vens, of Gloucester, Massachusetts, and the is-

Their children are Thel- ma Arlene, born in Livermore, and Edessa Ra- mona, born in Brunswick.
LEAVITT Abraham Leavitt, without doubt a descendant of Deacon John (1) Leavitt, of Hing- ham, was a resident of Scarborough, Maine, was a prominent citizen, well known to the citizens of the latter part of the eighteenth century as "Sheriff Leavitt." He was hon- ored with the friendship and confidence of Sir William Pepperell, with whom in some way he had an intimate connection. He was the an- cestor of all the Leavitts living in Scar- borough.
(I) Aaron B. Leavitt was born in Scarbor- ough, where he was educated in the common schools. He early went to sea and in time be- came captain and part owner of various ves- sels, which at different times he commanded. He was an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church. He married (first) Diana Seavey; children : Abiathar W., George W., Aaron, John, Francis W., Anne, Amos C., El- len. He married (second) a Miss Richardson. By her he had Alvan, Diana, Edna, Clarabella, I ouisa and Sarah.
(II) Francis Woods, fourth son of Aaron B. and Diana (Seavey) Leavitt, was born at Saco Ferry, York county, February 18, 1831. He was educated in the common schools, and like his father betook himself to the sea at an early age. His first voyage was as a member of the crew of a ship commanded by his broth- er. Captain Aaron Leavitt. In a comparative- ly short time he became captain and part owner of the ship "Franconia." In 1880 he left the sea, after being a mariner many years, and settled at Saco, where he engaged in the coal trade, doing a flourishing business for about ten years. He died April 29, 1890. He was a parish member of the Unitarian church of Saco; in politics a Republican ; of a retiring disposition, never seeking public office. He married, August 29, 1860, Sarah O., daughter of Dr. Joseph P. and Elizabeth ( Foss) Grant, of Saco. Dr. Joseph Perkins Grant was born in Saco, and was of Scotch parentage. He attended the public schools of Saco and sub- sequently graduated from Bowdoin College and practiced medicine at Saco for many
years. He took high rank in his profession and was one of the prominent physicians of Maine in his day. He died July 23, 1881. He was a Republican and an attendant of the Uni- tarian church.

The last visit of the good ship "Lion" to Boston har- bor, Massachusetts Bay, was in 1632. This. ship, which had brought so many sturdy ad- venturers to the same port, had on board one hundred and twenty-three passengers, of whom fifty were children, and Captain Pierce, on entering the harbor and casting anchor on Sunday evening, September 16, 1632, reported his passengers in good health, although they had been on shipboard twelve weeks and eight weeks had elapsed since he left Lands End, England. On this, her last visit to Massachu- setts Bay, she first sighted land at Cape Ann, and was held in the bay five days before an- choring in the harbor owing to a thick fog. The passenger list was not preserved intact, and only about thirty of the names are re- corded, among them William Wadsworth and family of four. When the passengers were discharged the ship took on freight, including nine hundred beaver skins and two hundred skins of the otter, and on leaving the harbor, November 4, 1632, was bound for James- town, Virginia, as was customary, intending to clear thence to England. While in Bos- ton Captain Pierce had accompanied Governor Winthrop and others on an overland trip to Plymouth. The next heard of the ship "Lion"
II05

was that she ran on a shoal in Virginia bay, and all but ten of the crew perished. The object of this introductory statement explains the appearance of the name of one of the pas- sengers of the "Lion" on the list of passengers. This name is that of William Wadsworth, a descendant of a long line of ancestry dating from Peter, son of Henry de Wodsworth, who was contemporaneous with King John, sur- named Lackland, brother of Richard Lion- heart, who appointed him his successor to the throne, and he became King of England in 1199, and was compelled to sign the Magna Charter in 1215, the repudiation of which char- ter thereafter caused war with the barons, dur- ing the waging of which he died at Newark, October 19, 1216. The line of descent from Peter includes lords, barons, esquires and men of letters and of the church. The relationship of William Wadsworth, one of the passengers of the ship "Lion," with Xtopher, is later shown to have been established, and the claim that William and Christopher came on the same ship and were brothers is well estab- lished. While William Wadsworth was the progenitor of the family in Connecticut and New York, Christopher is the common ances- tor of the Wadsworths of Maine and Massa- chusetts, including Henry Wadsworth Long- fellow, the poet.
(I) Christopher Wadsworth, or as his name was early written, Xtopher Waddesworth, landed in Boston by the ship "Lion," Septem- ber 16, 1632. His birthplace in England has not been ascertained, nor his positive parent- age. The name of Thomas Wadsworth is written before that of Christopher in a family Bible printed in London by Benham Norton and John Bell, 1625, formerly the property of Rev. John Pierce, of Brookline, Massachusetts, and descended to his son, John T. Pierce, of Geneseo, Illinois, which Bible is now in the possession of Mr. Samuel W. Cowles, of Hart- ford, Connecticut, and was examined by Mr. Horace A. Wadsworth, of Lawrence, Massa- chusetts. Mr. Wadsworth copied the inscrip- tion found in the handwriting of Christopher Wadsworth, the immigrant, which reads :
"Christopher Wadsworth His Book
"Christopher and William Wadsworth landed in Boston by ye ship Lion.
"16th September, 1632, together in ye ship." And elsewhere in the same Bible he found the name of Thomas Wadsworth before Chris- topher's in such a way as to convey the idea of its being the name of his father. Kent, Braintree, Chelmsford in Kent, and the Pala- tinate of Durham are each entitled to some
consideration as his birthplace or residence. Kent probably has the strongest claim. We find Christopher Wadsworth in Duxbury, Plymouth colony, in 1633, and he was elected a constable in January, 1634, the highest office in the gift of the town, and on him devolved the duty of jailor, sheriff in executing punish- ments and penalties, crier to give warning in church of the marriages approved by the civil authorities, sealer of weights and measures, and surveyor of lands. His name appears on every page of the town records of the time, and shows his life in Duxbury to have been one of incessant activity. He was deputy, se- lectman, surveyor. He owned land at Holly Swamp as early as 1638, and in 1655 bought more land of John Starr and Job Cole. He erected a house about a mile west of Captains Hill near the new road to Kingston, and his lands ran down to the bay formerly known as Morton's Hole. The place remained in the Wadsworth family up to 1855, when it was sold after the death of Joseph F. Wadsworth in that year, and it passed out of the family. The immigrant made his will July 31, 1677, and it was filed at the Plymouth court in Sep- tember, 1678, and it is between these dates that his death occurred. He made provisions for his wife Grace and daughter Mary An- drews, gave his home place to his son John and part of his Bridgewater grants and other lands to his son Joseph, having in his lifetime deeded part of his Bridgewater grants to his son Cap- tain Samuel, of Milton, who married Abigail Lindall, and was killed fighting the Indians at Sudbury, 1676. The children of Christo- pher, the immigrant, and Grace (Cole) Wads- worth were: Samuel (q. v.), Joseph, Mary and John. Joseph and John lived and died in Duxbury, and Mary married Andrews, and was a widow at the time her mother made her will, January 13, 1687, which instrument was proved June 13, 1688.
(II) Samuel, son of Christopher and Grace (Cole) Wadsworth, was born in Duxbury, Plymouth colony, and he there married Abi- gail Lindall, whose parents were neighbors of the Wadsworths. They removed to Milton, Massachusetts Bay Colony, where he was cap- tain in the militia, and he was killed by the Indians while in command of his company at Sudbury, 1676, leaving a widow and seven children. His widow died in Milton in 1687. The children of Captain Samuel and Abigail (Lindall) Wadsworth were: 1. Christopher, born in 1661, died in 1637. and his tombstone is the oldest in the Milton burying ground, consequently he must have died before his

(III) Ebenezer, eldest son of Captain Sam- uel and Abigail (Lindall) Wadsworth, was born in Milton, Massachusetts, in 1660. He was a deacon in the First Church in Milton, and married Mary His tombstone, now standing in the church burying ground near that of his brother Christopher, which is the oldest in the grounds, records the date of her death as 1717. The children of Ebenezer and Mary Wadsworth were: I. Mary, born 1684, married a Mr. Simpson. 2. Samuel, I685. 3. Recompense, 1688. 4. George (q. v.).
(IV) George, youngest child of Ebenezer and Mary Wadsworth, was born in the town of Stoughton, Massachusetts, was ensign in Captain Goffe's company in the French and Indian war, attained considerable military re- nown and was always addressed as Ensign George.

(VII) Moses Stevens, son of Elder Moses and Hannah ( Stevens) Wadsworth, was born in Litchfield, Maine, October 29, 1814. He was a carpenter and builder, as well as a cabinet maker, having learned the respective trades in Gardiner, Maine. He was a mem- ber of Company K, Ninth New England Regi- ment, in the Mexican war, and on returning from the seat of war in Mexico he continued the business of house building and cabinet work in Gardiner in the volunteer army, being a member of Company C, Third Maine Vol- unteer Infantry, and he was with the regiment in the first battle of Bull Run, July 21, 1861, and the succeeding battles in which the Third Maine engaged up to the disbanding of the regiment in 1864, after three years' service. He then re-enlisted in the Veteran Corps of Volunteers known as Hancock's Corps, and he served with that organization up to the close of hostilities in 1865, when he received an honorable discharge, but he kept up his interest in military affairs as lieutenant of the Artillery Company of Gardiner. He repre- sented the choice of the Republican party in the office of councilman in the city government of Gardiner. He was a class leader and val- ued worker in the Methodist church; was a member of Gardiner Lodge, Independent Or- der of Odd Fellows; a member of Harmon Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons ; served the city of Gardiner as chief of the fire department and chief of the police depart- ment. The latter years of his life he spent retired of the cares of business. He was mar- ried, October 31, 1837, to Margaret, daughter of Joshua Knox and Hannah (Soule) Knox, of Gardiner. Their children were: Charles Osgood, born September 8, 1839; Ada F., Frederick A., Margaret E., Elenora H. Moses Stevens Wadsworth died in Gardiner, Maine, November 30, 1875, and his widow, Margaret

(Osgood) Wadsworth, died in the same city, in the home of her married life, 1906.
(VIII) Charles Osgood, eldest son of Moses Stevens and Margaret (Osgood) Wadsworth, was born in Gardiner, Maine, September 8, 1839. He was educated in the public schools of Gardiner and West Gardiner, learned the carpenter and joiner trades from his father, and continued in that vocation for four years, 1858-62. In 1862 he volunteered his service in the Union army for the suppression of the rebellion of the Southern states, in which serv- ice his father had already been actively en- gaged since June, 1861, and he was assigned to the Sixteenth Maine Volunteer Infantry and assigned to Company B of that regiment. He was with his regiment in the Fredericks- burg and Chancellorsville campaign in Vir- ginia, the Gettysburg campaign in Pennsyl- vania, the Rappahannock and Wilderness cam- paigns under General Grant, and he took part in all the eventful battles of these memorable campaigns, including the terrible slaughter at Cold Harbor. He then was in the final cam- paign in front of Petersburg that resulted in the fall of that city and of Richmond, and the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox. While in front of Petersburg he was wounded in the knee. June 21, 1864, by a rifle ball, and he was sent to the Stanton Hospital, Washington, from where he heard of the closing events of the war, and on sufficiently recovering from his wound he was sent home on furlough and assigned to the care of the chief surgeon of the General Hospital at Augusta, Maine, where he remained until September, 1865, when he was honorably discharged from the service. As he was still suffering from lameness, the result of his severe wound, he engaged in peddling tinware and produce from a wagon, making his headquarters at Gardiner, and traversing the highways of Kennebec county. This open-air occupation aided in resting his broken health, and after four years occupied in peddling, he accepted the position of book- keeper for William Grant, engaged in the gen- eral merchandising business and remained in his salesrooms for four years, after which he was bookkeeper for various establishments in the trade for six years. He then secured from the Republican party, of which he was a mem- ber, the position of city clerk by election, and he took office in March, 1878. and has been continued in that office to the present time. He is a comrade of Health Post, Grand Army of the Republic, quartermaster of United Vet- eran Union since 1873, and has served as com- mander and adjutant of the command. He
has also served as quartermaster-general of the Union Veteran Union Department of Maine. He was also made a member of the Sons of Veterans in acknowledgment of the service of his father in the civil war, being as- sociated with Staples Camp of Augusta, Maine.
