From a reprint of: "The Levering Family: Or A Genealogical Account ofWigard Levering and Gerhard Levering, Two Of The Pioneer Settlers ofRoxborough Township, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania" by HoratioGates Jones, 1858; Appendix (Note C), reprint page numbers 190-193: "Alist of persons named Levering buried in the Roxborough graveyard[Leverington Cemetery], extracted from the Book of Records kept by theTrustees of the graveyard, and also gathered from the tombstones. Thelist is, of course, very imperfect, as in early times few tombstoneswere put up, and the Records do not begin until September 1786. Theletter 'd' stands for died, and 'b' for buried." [pg. 190] AND"Adjoining this burial ground [Leverington Cemetery] is the graveyardof the Roxborough Baptist Church. The following Leverings are some ofthe large number buried there, as taken from the tombstones" [pg. 193]
