Biographical notes
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses_Leavitt
Moses Leavitt [8] was a surveyor by trade, and early became one of Exeter's leading citizens. When he was thirty-one years old, he married Dorothy Dudley,[9] daughter of Rev. Samuel Dudley, Exeter's minister and the son of Governor Thomas Dudley of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.[10] By the time of his marriage on October 26, 1681, Leavitt was already deeply involved in town affairs, and in surveying and purchasing local land. In 1682 Leavitt first served as an Exeter selectman, an office he held several times during his lifetime. ....
Leavitt and the former Dorothy Dudley had twelve children, including sons John and Dudley, and daughter Dorothy. Two of Moses Leavitt's children married Gilman cousins – daughter Hannah, married twice, both times to Gilmans; and Joseph, married to Sarah Gilman. Moses Leavitt died on June 17, 1730, "being aged and feeble", as he noted in his will.[21] (His half-brother Lieut. Samuel Leavitt predeceased him, having died at Exeter in 1707). Moses's family continued to live in the Exeter area for many subsequent generations; his descendants include the noted New Hampshire almanac maker Dudley Leavitt,[22] and the early Salem, Massachusetts, minister Rev. Dudley Leavitt,[23] for whom Salem's Leavitt Street was named.
Following the death of Rev. Samuel Dudley,[24] the early Exeter minister's third wife lived at the home of her son-in-law Moses Leavitt – a courtesy for which the Dudley family bequeathed Leavitt a 50-acre (200,000 m2) plot of land in Exeter.[25] The 1702 conveyance of Dudley land to Leavitt was the last known mention of Rev. Samuel Dudley's third wife, the former Elizabeth Smith.[26] Leavitt's descendants continued to live on the former Dudley family tract for many years, as well as on the extensive grants of land Moses received.[27] The Leavitt family of Exeter played a prominent role in New Hampshire history for many years following the death of its first two New Hampshire representatives.[28] Descendants of both Moses and Samuel Leavitt dispersed throughout New Hampshire in subsequent centuries.[29]
