Levi TERWILLIGER
Birth: 22 Jan 1805 in Guilford, Chenango Co., NY
Death: 6 Apr 1872 in Birdsall, , Allegany Co., NY
Burial: Until Day Dawns Cemetery, Angelica, Allegany Co., NY

Note:
A piece of paper preserved in Josiah Terwilliger's Family Bible makes known that Levi Terwilliger earned a badge of honor at the age of 9 for his politeness, good conduct and progress in school.

June, 1835, Levi Terwilliger bought land in town of Guilford, Chenango Co, NY and is listed as being from Guilford.

Born son of Josiah Terwilliger and Rachel Mills, Levi appears first in land records of Allegany Co., NY in Liber 45, 55 and 85. First two transactions are records of land bought from Ira Davenport, land agent; last is a record of a purchase from William and Rhody Scholes.

Original land record in looseleaf notebook now with my daughter, Terri Thoden, (5/26/04) stating

Odell - Please to take notice that a sale has been made by the controller of the State of NY which sale took place at the capital in the city of Albany in DECEMBER 1848 at which sale Ira Davenport purchased following described land....261 acres east part of Lot 3 in Township 5 in Range one of Morris Reserve, Allegany Co, NY [Birdsall] for which he paid $51.00 consideration money on which lot or pieces of land I understand you reside or have in your possession.
