Humphrey H. Leavitt
Born on June 18, 1796, in Suffield, Connecticut,[1] Leavitt moved with his family to the Northwest Territory in 1800, and settled in what would become Trumbull County, Ohio.[2] He completed preparatory studies, attended an academy in western Pennsylvania, taught school and clerked in a store.[2] He was reelected to the 22nd and 23rd United States Congresses and served from December 6, 1830, until July 10, 1834, when he resigned to accept a judicial position.[3] In a short memoir Leavitt wrote for his children, he described his feelings about a Congressman's job, which he described as "positively irksome and repulsive."The member must vote with his party irrespective of the public good or expect to be visited with the fiercest denunciation.
