Leverett Saltonstall

Leverett Saltonstall (1754-1782) was the son of Judge Richard Saltonstall (1703-1756) and his third wife, Mary Cooke Saltonstall (later Harrod) (1723-1804). Although he had apprenticed to become a merchant in Boston, Saltonstall became a Loyalist and served in the British Army as a 2nd lieutenant in the 23rd Regiment of Foot (Royal Welsh Fusiliers) under Sir William Howe in 1778. He later served under Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. Saltonstall returned to New York as a parolee after the British surrender in 1781, joining his sister Mary Badger and her family. He died in New York City in 1782 at his sister's home.
