son of
Richard Levis.30 As recorded by Besse in his Quaker Sufferings, Christopher Lewis [sic] of Harby was cited in 1652 “before a Justice by the Priest of that Parish (who had before taken out of his Fields what Corn he pleased) for 18s. 2d. pretended to be yet due for Tithe: The Justice granted a Warrant, by which the Officers took from him a Cow worth 3l. 10s.” In his will, dated 19 October 1677, he describes himself as Christopher Levis of Harby, Co. Leicester, yeoman ( free man owning his own farm, especially from the Elizabethan era to the 17th century).. He was weak in body but of sound memory, commended his soul to almighty God, bequeathed to daughter Mary Levis £45( $67 today), bequeathed to daughters Sary and Hanna Levis £50 each, and appointed as executors his son Samuel Levis and Nathaniel Need, to whom he left the remainder of his estate.
