In 1761, David Greenleaf, a goldsmith, purchased land in Norwich on which he soon built a house, perhaps in 1763, the year he married Mary Johnson. David Greenleaf sold the house, located at 2 Town Street (near the Christopher Leffingwell House), in 1769 and moved to Boston. It was then the home of Jesse Williams until 1772, then of Capt. William Billings, whose widow sold it in 1796 to the cabinet maker Timothy Lester. His heirs sold the property in 1854. In recent years, the Society of the Founders of Norwich acquired the house and restored it.
David Greenleaf House (1763)
Hello,
We are trying to prove David Greenleaf for the Daughters of the American Revolution We are looking for a deed that he purchased this property 1778 from a Daniel Robertson Jr. Does anyone have copies of this deed? We have looked on Coventry Deed Index and can not find this purchase. Any Help or someone to contact at the courthouse or historical society would be great.
Thanks
Sam Maner
