Boy Scout California Store Buffalo NY

Peter LeValley burying ground, Warwick RI. Named after Peter LeValley Sr., grandson of the original Peter. Though he and his descendants are buried there, the cemetery may have been founded by his uncle John-who may also lie there with his second wife under uninscribed fieldstones.

Henry LeValley burying ground, Coventry RI. Named after the grandson of the above-mentioned Peter Sr. Henry lies there with his descendants.

LeValley Cemetery, Middleport NY. Named after the donor of the land, Holden LeValley (son of the original Peter's grandson John Jr.). He donated the land in 1819, reserving the right for himself and his heirs forever to pasture calves and sheep on it. But when Holden and his wife died four years later, their bodies were sent back to Canandaigua NY for burial with their infant daughter and other relatives. His nephew's family was later buried in the LeValley Cemetery.

Sections of Cities

LeValley Flats, Lockport NY. Name of the flatland once farmed by Franklin Jackson LeValley, descended from Peter's grandson Christopher. It is dominated by a huge outcropping of forested rock, on top of which his house stood. From that grand situation, the place is now the location of the sewer plant.

LeValley & Harmon's addition to Waverly IA. The whole southeast quarter of the city was laid out by George W. LeValley, descended from Peter's grandson Christopher.

Streets and Roads

LeValley Street, West Warwick RI. Named after William H. LeValley, descended from Peter Sr. An undistinguished druggist, he probably had the first house built on the street.

LeValley Road, Rome NY. Origin unknown.

LeValley Road near Columbiaville MI. Leander LeValley settled there in 1845, and his uncle John Cook LeValley brought his family to the farm next door in 1853. They are descended from Peter's grandson Christopher.

North LeValley Elementary School, Ionia MI. Still in operation, the school stands diagonally across from the LeValley Church, from which it probably got its name.

Businesses (past)
