LEVI DAGGETT was a descendant of John Daggett, who settled in Attleborough, about the year 1666, and was one of the proprietors of the township. Joseph Daggett, son of John, built the first corn mill in Attle- borough, but at what time is not known. Ebenezer Daggett was the third generation, and had two sons, Naphtali, who was president of Yale College from 1766 to 1777, and John, who, says the historian of Attle- borough, "was one of the principal public characters
and leading men of the town, especially during the trying period of the Revolution. He and Col. May were the two, on whom the town placed the most reliance. He was possessed of a strong and sound mind, and was marked by a resolute and decided char- acter." Joab Daggett, son of John, was possessed of considerable property, and he obtained possession of the Daniel Cutting farm, by virtue of a mortgage from one Robbins. He died March 17, 1816, and his son Levi bought out the other heirs and took up his resi- dence in Troy about this time. He married, April 15, 1818, Abigail, daughter of Joseph and Parna (Temple) Butler and resided in the house he purchased until 1823, when he sold the farm to Abel Brown. In 1825 he returned to Attleborough, where he resided until 1846, then moved to Jaffrey. In 1854 he returned to Troy, and resided in Mrs. Hayden's house one year, and a like period in the Newell house, but in 1856 he bought the Starkey farm of Asa Butler, and in 1858 he sold this and moved to Rindge.
