The Leverett Family Crest
Thomas Leverit came over to Boston in 1663, from Boston, England. His son, Governor John Leverett (1682), used these arms as his seal. He was, moreover, knighted by King Charles II. The family was accepted in 1564 by the heralds in their Lincolnshire Visitations. The tombstone of John Leverett (1724) president of Harvard College, bears the same devices. The Gore Roll of Arms gives as identical the arms of Mrs. Anna Sedgwick Leverit, widow of the governor (1703). It is singular that Berry gives this same coat of arms to the Levers, of county Lancaster.
