Children of Samuel Hartwell and Sara Holden: Levi, b. 19 Dec 1758.
[Note: this entry is troubling because much of the data found in Putnam cannot be confirmed by records. So when a record is found that appears to be clearly bogus, it raises credibility concerns. The records show no indication of a Levi, and the will of Samuel in 1773 names no son Levi, but mentions daughter Lois who the record do support. But in addition to simply requiring an assumption that the record was misread, the date given here is inconsistent with the baptism data for Lois found in church records, and her age at death supports the church records. Presumably this was just a misreading of whatever source Putnam was using for this family, but until it is discovered what source that was, and it can be reviewed, we have to assume Putnam made an error. Source:Densmore, Lyman Willard. Hartwells of America, p. 4, lists Lois, not Levi, but uses the 1758 birth date.]
