Notes for Christopher LEVIS
son of
Richard Levis.30 As recorded by Besse in his Quaker Sufferings, Christopher Lewis
[sic] of Harby was cited in 1652 “before a Justice by the Priest of that Parish (who
had before taken out of his Fields what Corn he pleased) for 18s. 2d. pretended to
be yet due for Tithe: The Justice granted a Warrant, by which the Officers took
from him a Cow worth 3l. 10s.” In his will, dated 19 October 1677, he describes
himself as Christopher Levis of Harby, co. Leicester, yeoman. He was weak in body
but of sound memory, commended his soul to almighty God, bequeathed to
daughter Mary Levis £45, bequeathed to daughters Sary and Hanna Levis £50 each,
and appointed as executors his son Samuel Levis and Nathaniel Need, to whom he
left the remainder of his estate.
