    "2 Serg't Thomas Leffingwell, son of Lt. Thomas Leffingwell the first, was born (probably at Saybrook, where his birth was recorded) Aug. 27, 1649, and died at Norwich, March 5, 1723-4. In 1660, he went with his father's family to the new settlement of Norwich, where he spent the rest of his life. … He was made freeman by the General Court at Hartford in 1671, and was also a representative of Norwich at least once. … In the old burial ground of Norwich town, the tombstones of this Thomas Leffingwell and his wife were seen still standing in 1896."

    "Thomas seems to have been a man of good ability and successful in business. The inventory of his estate, in 1724, shows that he was richly furnished with the household comforts and conveniences of that period, also with articles of luxury and elegance.

    'He had furniture and linen in abundance, wooden ware and utensils of iron, tin, pewter and silver.' 'Wearing apparel valued at £27, wig 20s., walking staff with silver head 20s., rapier with silver hilt and belt, £6, French gun £3, silver watch £5, 3 tankards, 2 dram cups, one with two handles, copper pennies and surabians (a small gold coin), £6, 18s. 7d.'

    'Total valuation of estate, £9793 9s. 11d.' 'It is doubtful whether at that time any other estate in the town equaled this in value.'"
