Ahnentafel #1030 - Thomas Leffingwell

Lieutenant  Thomas Leffingwell 

Name has been spelled Leafphingwell, Levingwell, Lephingwell, Lefingwell, Leapinvill, Lepingwell, Leppingwell, Leapingwell

Born: ca. 1623 England

Died: 1714 Norwich, Connecticut

Buried: Founders Cemetery, Norwich, CT

Married: Mary White(?) by 1648(?) probably in Saybrook, Connecticut. There is a story that Thomas returned to England to marry, but no evidence to back it up. 

Biography: About the year 1637, only a short time after the first settlement of New England, there appears among the forests of Connecticut a young hunter calling himself Thomas Leffingwell. The prototype, perhaps, of Cooper's Deerslayer, he was even at that early day on friendly terms with the Mohegan Indians, and especially their young chief Uncas; nor is it improbable, that occasionally he lived among them, acquiring their language and sharing their adventures. Very dim, however, are the glimpses which we then obtain of him. He was gifted, tradition tells us, with unusual physical strength, which, for a time at least, appeared in his descendants; he was endowed, as we know, with that courage which does not shrink from the greatest of perils, when danger is the only path to great accomplishment; he became one of the founders of a large and flourishing city, and for more than a third of a century, held important positions of honor and trust. . . .

It is quite certain, however, that in 1637, when Thomas Leffingwell first became acquainted with Uncas the Mohegan chief, he must have been very young. He died in 1714 - seventy-seven years afterwards; his public services lasted until 1705; and we can hardly imagine that he was born very much earlier than 1620, or later than 1624. But how came such a youth to be hunting with Indians in the forests of Connecticut? . . . Hooker with his little band of Puritans had pushed through the forests of Massachusetts and laid the foundations of Hartford in 1635; New Haven was settled in 1637, and Saybrook the same year. These were the earliest years of Connecticut history. . . . Two conjectures are open to us:

1. Thomas Leffingwell may have emigrated and come to Saybrook in 1637, in charge of an older married sister whose name has not come down to us. Perhaps she died soon after, leaving the youth to make his own way.
2. Or he may have come with an uncle or older brother directly to Massachusetts Bay during the years 1630-1636; and from some cause, severing himself from irksome control, he may have gone with some one of the early settlers from Boston to the new settlements in Connecticut. . . . 

. . . Thomas Leffingwell had in a quiet way, signalized himself by that heroic feat, for which his name has hitherto been most conspicuous in our early Connecticut history. This was the relief which he gave to Uncas, the Mohegan Sachem, when closely besieged by the Narragansett Indians . . . 

Uncas, with a small band of Mohegan Indians, was encamped on a point of land projecting into the river, and there closely besieged by their most inveterate foes, the Narragansetts. Finding himself in danger of being cut off by the enemy, he managed to send to his friends, the English colony at Saybrook, the news of his extremity, with perhaps some appeal for help. "Upon this intelligence," says Trumbull, "one Thomas Leffingwell, an ensign at Saybrook, an enterprising, bold man, loaded a canoe with beef, corn and pease, and, under cover of the night paddled from Saybrook into the Thames, and had the address to get the whole into the fort. The enemy soon perceiving that Uncas was relieved, raised the siege. For this service Uncas gave said Leffingwell a deed of a great part, if not the whole of the town of Norwich. In June 1659, Uncas, with his two sons, Owaneco and Attawanhood, by a more formal and authentic deed, made over unto said Leffingwell, John Mason, Esq., the Rev. James Fitch, and others, consisting of thirty-five proprietors, the whole township of Norwich, which is about nine miles square." . . . 

Was Thomas Leffingwell alone in this deed of danger and daring? The first historian of Connecticut mentions no other name. But of recent years, it has been suggested that other pioneers possibly accompanied him . . . It is not doubted that Leffingwell was the probable leader of the enterprise, but it is claimed that the peril was too great for one man to encounter; that others probably shared it . . .  

The records of Norwich and the journal of the general court of the colony supply the material which give us all the knowledge we can now have of Thomas Leffingwell. . . . From the first he became a public man. As a military man he attained the rank of Lieutenant, but as sergeant until 1672, as ensign until 1676, and as lieutenant thereafter, by which title he is mainly reported, he rendered good service under Captain Edgerton and Major [John] Mason, and often in command of scouting parties, even until past the military age. But little is preserved of his actual service, yet it was of so much importance and of such extent as to win for him an enviable distinction. . . .

[He has been described as] peculiarly the soldier and guardsman of the new town [Norwich] . . . and Lieutenant Thomas Leffingwell was as brave a soldier as we had, and secured our purchase by the relief he furnished Uncas.  . . . 

That he was a Christian citizen, appears from his early connection with the church of Mr. Fitch, with whom he had come from Saybrook. He is found on the committees of the church and society, and seems to have been ready for any service to which religious duty called him. Even as late as 1694, when his reverend pastor became unable by affliction to continue his work, he is called upon as chairman of the committee to plead with Jabez Fitch, the pastor's son, to become the associate and successor of his father.  And four years later, when the new meeting-house had been repaired and enlarged, "five of the oldest and most respected inhabitants, viz: Lt. Thomas Leffingwell, Lt. Wm. Backus, Deacon Simon Huntington, Thomas Adgate, Sen., and Serg. John Tracy, were directed to seat the people with due regard to rank." 

That he was a thorough and enterprising business man appears in the worldly success which attended him and in the various office to which he was called. No inventory of his estate has been found; but the land records of Norwich show that he ranked high among the real estate owners of his day. As early as 1687, he makes, in part, a distribution of his large landed interests; to Thomas, his eldest, "fower parcells of land and meadow at Wequanack being part of my division of land and part grant from the town; to Joseph, two parcells over the river at Wequannuck; to Nathaniel two-thirds of his land over Shawtucket at the ferrie;" and to his son Robert Parke, the other third of the same land. 

His almost constant employment in the local service of the town as selectman, and surveyor, and distributor of estates, is in proof of his thorough business character. As one of the local judges of the Commission Court he also rendered good service. 

But it was as its representative in the State General Court that he most served the town. Beginning with the first year of its history, he was in actual attendance in Hartford during fifty-three sessions of the court, or from 1662 to 1700. At the date of this last session, Mr. Leffingwell must have been about 80 years of age. . . . 

For those days he was a man of large possessions, but all his property he divided among his heirs before his death. In Sept. 1714, he deeds to his grandson Samuel the home-lot and buildings thereon "in consideration of my comfortable maintainance during my naturall Life." Probably this was only a short time before his death. The date of his decease is not recorded; but as in January 1715, his oldest son Thomas signs his name without the "Junior" we are justified in believing that the event occurred during the closing months of the preceding year. At that time he was probably about 93 years of age.   [Leffingwell, Albert & Charles Leffingwell. A Genealogy of the Descendants of Lieut.

In November 1659, the proprietors made several divisions of land, Thomas Leffingwell received the following:

• house lot 8 acres - probably actually settled there in spring of 1660 - abutting northerly seventeen rods on Joseph Bushnell's land, abutting westerly on the highway eighty-six rods, abutting south easterly on land of Joseph Bushnell twenty rods, abutting easterly on his pasture land and this pasture land consisted of a ten-acre lot abutting easterly upon the rocks.  It fronted on an old Indian trail . . . Indian wigwams were still in the pasture lot. The hill to the north and east, from its earliest use became known as Sentry Hill.

To the Right Worshipful Court Assembled at Hartford; Whereas you are by God and his people constituted a court of Justice and have approved yourselves in matters of Justice . . . I am encouraged to recommend to your considerations a case depending between Uncas the Mohegan Sachem and myself. It is not unknown to him and other what damage in my outward estate I have suffered by his men; and yet notwithstanding when he and his people were famishing being besieged by many enemies I did afford him provition for their relief, although it was to the hazard of all my outward comforts, the enemy knowing what supply I had and did afford him. upon these and such like reasons Uncas hath several times offered me some land for my recompense and jus satisfaction and hath expressed the same to the Major [John Mason] who is acquainted with the truth of these things, but order requireth me to propound the matter to your worshipful considerations desiring your approbation of the way Uncas hath propounded for my satisfaction. Its far from me to desire land in such place where my possessing of it might hinder a plantation work, or any such public good, but providence presenting such an equal means for the relief of my family by inclining the heart of a heathen to observe rules of justice and with gratitude for that which he hath received and this coming on without any importunity on my part I hope your worships will not judge me guilty of inordinate seeking after that which I ought not but I would not be negligent in improving the present hint of providence. So hoping you will not reject the proposition made, but show your worshipful approbation for the most real affecting of it and I cease giving you any further trouble I remain your humble servant - Thomas Leffingwell, Norwich, May the 6, 1667
