Leavitt was a Tory a fact well known in town: people burned down his barn and surrounded his home at one point. The story goes that the pleasant elegantly dressed Mrs. Leavitt invited the mob in for cakes and wine which calmed everyone down. unknown books

174856612Taunton Mass. 1748. Pro-forma document approx. 6¼" x 7½" accomplished in ink in a neat and legible hand concerning Charity Allen a single woman evidently with child and who with her presumed father a blacksmith and one Richard Tree acknowledge themselves to be severally indebted to the King for five pounds Charity and 50 shillings each Jeremiah and Richard "to be levied on their goods and chattels lands or tenements and in want thereof upon their bodies . the condition of the above Written Recognizance is such that if" above bounden Charity Allen "shall personally appear before the Justices . to be holden at" Taunton "in the County of" Bristol . "on the" second Tuesday of June next . "to answer to such matters and things as shall be objected against her on His Majesty's behalf" and more especially for her being with child of a bastard child." I take this to be a subpoena of sorts obliging the pregnant Charity together with her father to appear before the court . but why Birth records for Rehoboth show Charity was born July 5 1729 so at the time she would have been almost 19 and that she gave birth to a boy named Jacob in June of 1748 the "reputed son of Thomas Peck and Charity Allen." <br/><br/> unknown books
