Feb. 12, 1834, age 66. He learned the housewright's trade of Dea. Ephraim Barker, and came with him as a journeyman to Amherst before the commencement of the Revolution, and afterward carried on the busi- ness here until disabled by age. He went to Amherst about 1800. He was present at the battle of Bunker Hill and was at Cambridge when Washington took command of the army. He was probably the last sur- vivor of the Mont Vernon soldiers at Bunker Hill. He lived in Mont Vernon many years, coming here about the time of the Revolution. He built the house commonly known as the "Dr. Smith House" in Mont Vernon Village. Nine oldest ch. b. Mont Vernon by first wife.
1. Andrew, m. twice, served on board a privateer in the War of 1812, was taken prisoner and confined in Dartmoor prison, England, d. in Marblehead, Mass. after his liberation, of disease contracted while in prison.
2. Sarah, m. * Jesse Averill. The tradition is that she was a wonder- ful singer, with a voice of rare sweetness and remarkable power, though none of her descendants seem to have inherited this captivating gift. Following is an extract graphically describing the impression she made, from a letter of Prof. Reuben D. Muzzey (who, in his youth, was an attendant at the Mont Vernon Church) of Dartmouth College, written at Boston in 1862 to Rev. Dr. J. G. Davis of Amherst :
"There was one charm, which was peculiar, connected with the wor- ship on that hill-it was the singing. There was a good choir, but the fascination came from a single voice, that of Miss Leavitt, an elder sister of Miss Leavitt, who afterward became the mother of the Hutchinson family, renowned in song. The choir of Mont Vernon Church met for practice on Sabbath morning, before the hour of worship. Miss Leavitt always sang the alto. How many times as striplings ascended the hill did we stop to drink in those rich and heavenly tones (oh, I can hear them now) which filled the whole atmosphere and seemed to come from an elevation far above that of the open windows. My dear sir, pardon my enthusiasm, I have since heard Madame Malibran, Madame Stontag, Jenny Lind and an oratorio in St. Xavier chapel from the choir of Pope Pius IX. on the evening of his coronation, and I have not yet heard a voice so rich and inspiring as that of Miss Leavitt. Does such a voice come as often as once in a century?"
