John Leavitt

John Leavitt (c. 1608 – November 20, 1691) was an English-born tailor, public official, and founding deacon of Old Ship Church in Hingham, Massachusetts, the only remaining 17th-century Puritan meeting house in America and the oldest church in continuous ecclesiastical use in the United States. Hingham's Leavitt Street is named for the early settler, whose descendants have lived in Hingham for centuries.
