Age 37 years and 4 months.

Benjamin was the son of Gabriel Leverich (1753-1828) and Hannah Leverich Thorpe (1755-1827). Both of Benjamin's parents were buried first at Leverich Family Burial Ground, but they were apparently later reinterred in the Newtown Presbyterian Church Cemetery (this might explain the duplicate findagrave memorials at both locations for many of the Leverich family).
