(She has been called Mary, probably based on the admission of a "Mary Lovett" as a member of Dorchester church about 1638. The Leavitt family had already moved to Hingham before the second church was organized, so this church admission is almost certainly not for the first wife of John Leavitt. (2) Hingham 15 December 1646 Sarah _____. She died at Hingham on 26 May 1700. (Her name has been given in some secondary sources as Sarah Gilman, but Walter Goodwin Davis, in his account of EDWARD GILMAN {1638, Hingham}, says only that she "died after arrival in New England." However, the repeated association of John Leavitt with Daniel Cushing, who did marry a daughter of Edward Gilman, suggests that this wife may well have been Sarah Gilman . Five of the sons of John Leavitt resided at one time or another at Exeter, New Hampshire. They were part of a larger migration from Hingham to Exeter which took place over a period of two decades or more, and included EDWARD GILMAN {1638, Hingham} and JOHN FOLSOM {1638, Hingham} and many members of those two families as well.
