Levi lived for decades in the “Southwick Jog” area, which from 1786 to 1804was part of Granby. While his home lot remained in Southwick, he, over many years, was involved in several land transactions in the area of Granby abutting properties of his siblings, father and uncle Azariah. Levi is easily confused in the records with an older Levi Gillett, son of Isaac, a relative who also lived in Southwick. Levi, son of Nathan, is referred to as Levi 2nd. He and his wife had several children, but tragedy struck many in this family. His wife and son Milo, are not mentioned in his will dated 26 Apr. 1852, presumably because both had died. Son Horace died in 1849. His will anticipates without explanation that son Willis was near death. He died 15 May 1852, just three weeks after the date of the will. Levi’s probate in 1856 grants properties from his estate to children of deceased Horace and Willis. In 1859 his unmarried dau.
