HESTORY OF NORTHFIELD. -
LEAVITT I.
Moses Lasvizz, the ancestor of the N. Lesvitta, was m. in Exeter. Oct. 26, 1681, to Dorothy Dudley, dau. of Rev. Samuel Dudley, Whose Arst wife was Mary, dan. of Gov. John Winthrop.
Their grandsons, Jonathan Lesvitt and Wadleigh, came to the vieta- ity of Bean Hill long before the Revolutionary War. He was called Popple Leavitt.
They owned the 100-acre lots, Nos. 23, 24, and 30, and 18 lots of the common land. No one living remembers aught of them. Their arms.were later owned by the Kecars, Smiths and Abbotta.
*
The Fifth Range at and near its intersection with the Bean Hin road was the nucleus of the homes, and others are further south on the range leading to Canterbury Borough, which was carly open to horseback riders. Cellar holes, rose bushes and decayed apple trees are the only existing signs of their sojourning.
Second Generation. .
The records, however, speak of Jonathan and Wadleigh, who were in the Revolutionary War, and later we find the names of Gideon Joseph and Joseph, Jr., Joshua, Ruth, Love and Jonathan, Jr.
On the petition for the new town, March 30, 1780, we find the name of Joseph and on the first tax list, called "Prizel List," we find, in 1796. the name of Dudley, the almanac maker, and he was taxed the follow- ing year 4s. 6d. He also received £3 12s. and £7 4s. for teaching school in town in 1795. He was then 20 years of age. He had a home of his own on the corner of Lot 23 and owned Lot 24 and lived there when first m. (In Hon. J. B. Walker's sketch of him in the Farmer's Al- manac for 1896, had he said N. instead of "Deerfield," it would agree better with the "Records.")
Jonathan sold eight acres and two rods to Jeremiah Smith and the balance of his possessions to Shubael Dearborn, his brother-in- law. Dudley also sold to Mr. Smith. Wadleigh sold out to Gideon. The names disappear from N. records in 1800, excepting those on their tombstones, some of them being buried in the Abbott grave yard.
JONATHAN LEAVITT m. Ruth Cram and had two dau. besides the sons mentioned above.
RUTH LEAVITT m. Shubael Dearborn and her parents lived near them on Dearborn Hill, where both d. and were buried in the Hodgdon grave yard. The old stones falling to decay have been recently re- placed by their great-grandchildren with the following inscription: "Jonathan Leavitt, d. May 13, 1824. Ruth Leavitt, d. April, 1820."
LOVE LEAVITT m., May 26, 1768, Benjamin Glines and was the mother of nine children. (See Glines gen.)
WADLEIGH LEAVITT removed to Littleton and later to Canada.

LINDSEY or LINSEY.
JAMES LINSEY's name occurs often in the Proprietors' Record Book. "At a legal meeting of the proprietors of. Canterbury in the province of New Hampshire called and held at Said Canterbury on Tuesday the Second day of August 1750 at the house of Capt Jeremiah Clough. It was voted that-eighty-in the meadow called Scundog- gady in Canterbury Township be sold to Mr James Linsey of ad Canterbury for the sum of three Hundred & forty pounds Old Tenner Money." This places him as a landholder in the north fields 10 years before the arrival of Benjamin Blanchard, the first settler. This land is described in the Return as follows: "Beginning at an 'Elm standing a little on the East Side of the Brook coming out from Chestnut Pond (mark the name in 1750), so called, then Runs North 166 Rods to a pitch pine spotted on four sides then West 100 Rod to a stake standing by a Brook then South 166 Rods to a hemlock spotted on four sides, standing a little to the West of a Brook then to the Elm which is spotted on four sides which is the first Bound mentioned."

GENEALOGIES.
"This Return of Land Voted to James Linsey in the year 1750" is dated August "91st," 1756.
No. 2 of the Gospel Lots was "struck off to James Linsey for five hundred and five pounds according to Dollars at 4.50 per Dollar."
These lots were sold at a legal meeting of the proprietors, held May 20, 1756.
This must have been the Robert Smith farm on the Merrimack River and a part of the Gerrish intervale.
James Linsey or Lindsey was settled on Scundoggady meadow lot before 1753, at which time the trouble with the Indians, Sabattis and Plausaway, occurred. Both the Lindseys and Miles had slaves and the Indians stole Peer of the one and Tom of the other, tied them up and led them away. (See Miles gen.) The old cellar holes, where. stood the homes of the Lindseys and Perkins, are still to be seen.
There is also the Return of a lot of land laid out to him, which was granted the twenty-sixth day of December, 1757.
It is bounded as follows: "beginning at the North West Corner of Sondoggady Medow Lot, North 160 rods to a white Oak No 9 then East 105 rods to a White Oak No 2 then South 160 Rods to a - No. 2 then west to first bound." Also another Return of a "Lot of Land Laid out to the Right of James Linsey which was granted to him on the Twenty sixth Day of December 1757."
"Beginning at the south east corner of the above Lot at a pitch pine No 3 then north to a hemlock No 3 then South 160 Rods to a stake, then West 100 rods to first Bound." (Proprietors' Record Book,. page 15.)
The town records say nothing further of the Lindseys. But this meadow land and the other lot in due time became in some way the property of James Lindsey Perkins, who owned it about the year 1787. I conclude by the name that there was an intermarriage of the families and that Mr. James Lindsey Perkins inherited the James Lindsey land, at least the two 100-acre meadow lots. Now, tradition says that Mr. Perkins was not a strictly temperate man and, in con- sequence of too frequent visits to Squire Glidden's store at the Centre, was often called to part with some of his fertile acres to settle his account, and it is further said that the crafty squire often by abusive language brought the greatly desired blows on his deserving old back and head in consequence. James was always promptly arrested and another slice of the longed-for meadow passed to satisfy the fine. In course of time it all belonged to the Squire and is to this day known as the "Glidden Meadow."
Nathaniel Perkins was an early settler and deeded some land on the intervale to Josiah Miles (est.) 50 acres for £6 5s., it being the land he bought of the proprietors of Canterbury. Dated Feb. 21, 1772, in the seventh year of his majesty's reign. Witness, James Lindsey. Mr. Hunt says the old Perkins house stood opposite Judge Peter Wadleigh's and was used as a schoolhouse.
