The National Association of Leavitt Families, Inc. is an organization formed in 1934 with the objective of promoting acquaintance and good fellowship among the living descendants of immigrant John Leavitt, who settled in the section of the New England Colonies now known as Hingham MA in 1636; and immigrant Thomas Leavitt, who settled in the section now known as Hampton NH in 1639; and to establish such memorials to their name and memory as may be most appropriate.
