"Thomas Leavit and Isabel Leavit (Isabel Bland, daughter of John Bland of Martha’s Vineyard late deceased), both of Hampton, New Hampshire, constitute their son John Leavit their Attorney in the settlement of the estate of John Bland, by an instrument dated 16 April,1671. In support of their claim they file depositions of Nathaniel Drake aged 78 and Abram Drake aged about 70, both of Hampton, dated April 27, 1671, in which deponents state that they have known Isabel Bland since childhood and that John Bland formerly lived at Colchester, England, and “he was sometimes called John Smith but his name and his ancestors were Bland.” Samuel Smith aged 29 and Benjamin Gould aged 42 years both of the Vineyard testify to the same effect."
