From the History of Newbury Vermont:
“Levi, b. Jan 12, 1723; md. Dec. 5, 1745, Ruth Merritt. He must have come to Newbury very early, as at the March meeting in 1765, he was elected a surveyor of highways. He settled on Kent's meadow, on the farm now owned by Mr. Kimball, and appears to have been a man of good standing, whose name recurs frequently in our early records. He served in the Revolutionary War, in local service, with his son, Levi, and the latter was in other service, in Bedel's regiment. During the last years of the war the son was implicated in the dealings which certain parties carried on with Canada, and acted as a messenger between the disaffected in Coos and the British in Canada. He was one of the party which captured Col. Thomas Johnson, and of that which attempted the capture of Gen. Jacob Bayley. When and where Levi Sylvester d. is unknown.”
