    Notes:

    Daniel married Jane Blount on 27 Jun 1809 in Bloomfield. They had 10 children, 7 sons and 3 daughters.

    Daniel Leavens was a son of the pioneer Benjamin, and came to Canada when only eleven years old. He succeeded his father in the ownership of the old homestead lying to the northwest of Bloomfield. It has been handed down through successive generations, and to-day remains in the possession of a descendant of its pioneer proprietor. The old homestead, built of cedar logs, although greatly benefited by many times repairs, and largely extended by additions found necessary, still stands, like some old jewel in a new setting.
    Daniel made his house a home by marrying Jane Blount in 1809. The ceremony was performed before Stephen Conger, a Justice of the Peace; for ministers were scarce in those days and their services were often dispensed with by espousing couples. The seventeen-year-old bride was the daughter of Cornelius Blount. He was one of Hallowell 's early settlers who came in with the Bowermans. Purchasing land from the Crown, he settled at Bloomfield near his fellow-travelers. It is related that he was compelled to carry on his back all the way from Picton, six miles distant, the only board he could find suitable for a door for his log cabin. Although brought up a Presbyterian, he became an orthodox Friend, probably through the influence of his wife, whose maiden name was Lydia Bull. In his house is said to have been held the first Friends' meeting in Prince Edward County.
    Daniel Leavens was drafted in the War of 1812, but for the sum of eighty dollars he was able to provide a substitute. During that war he engaged in transporting troops and military stores from Kingston to Toronto. He was a magistrate when he died in 1879 at the old age of ninety years. His wife lived to be seventy-five, and died in 1868.
