    "Esther (Leavens), b. Dec. 4 1705; d. Apr. 1 1774 … "Not without reason did the inventory back in the year 1708 speak of the child Hester, '3½ years old very neady'! In the year 1739 the colonial Assembly received a petition from the select-men of Killingly concerning one Esther Leavinze, a person of defective mind. It appeared that by order of Court in 1727 they had been required to take care of her estate, which consisted entirely of land, and they now sought leave to sell 33 acres for 'defraying past charges and future support' of this person. There was long and prudent care of the one left an orphan and 'very neady'. There is a record of 'Esther Leavens d. Apr. 1 1774, aged 69'"
