'Morse Leavenworth. [son of] David, ...
Married Sarah Benedict, of New Milford, December 25, 1783. She was the daughter of Jonathan Benedict, Esq., ... and she was born in New Milford, January 30, 1760, and died in Roxbury January 29, 1856, aged ninety-six years.'

Sarah's birth date is suspect, as her sister Lucy was supposedly born May 1760. Sarah was likely born a few years later, and her age at death exaggerated.
