Biographical History
John Burleigh owned a store on the banks of the Lamprey River in Newmarket, N.H. He was prominent in town politics and served as representative to the N.H. legislature in 1765, 1767, and 1770. Mehitable Burleigh (née Sheafe) became John's third wife in 1760. The couple had a daughter in 1763, also named Mehitable, who appears to have later assumed some responsibility for the family business. Cf. Genealogy of the Burley or Burleigh family of America (Portland: Thurston & Co., 1880).
