Summary

| Description |
English: Hon. Leavitt Thaxter (1788–1863), second son of Parson Joseph Thaxter, was a Edgartown, Massachusetts, educator. He was the founder of Thaxter Academy, a private school in Edgartown. Of Leavitt Thaxter, Martha's Vineyard historian Charles Banks wrote: "His human sympathies led him to entertain a practical interest in the remnants of the tribe of Indians living in the town, and in 1836, having been made their legal guardian, he devoted nearly twenty years' service to their welfare. Such was the confidence inspired by his execution of this apparently thankless task, that he was always after regarded by them as their trusted friend and counsellor, to whom they constantly came for advice and encouragement." (Charles Banks, The History of Martha's Vineyard, Dukes County, Massachusetts, in Three Volumes. Vol. 2, George H. Dean, Boston, 1911, pp. 191-193)[1] |
