Levi and Betsey had 12 children: Harriet, Lorenzo Dow, Erastus, Levi(jr), Louisa, Judith, Martha, Simon, Francis, Orvey, Betsey, Zilpha.

Levi and Betsey moved to Stanstead Co., Quebec about 1810 with Levi's 6 brothers: Francis, Abraham, Simon II, Theophilus, Thomas and John. They moved along with the Lyford, Aldrichs, Babcocks and others. Levi and Betsey settled away from Cassville about 8-9 miles near Brown's Hill.
