Place of death not confirmed (1995)

After the death of his 2nd wife in 1850, Henry Levering moved to Medway (Hot Springs) Arkansas in 1852 where he was the postmaster .

"By the way, the Leverings in America began as Quakers , or at least leaned that way for a while. They were of various occupations including mercantile business and farming. And Henry Levering in Arkansas ran a stage coach service, though very little of that is known. Most of Henry's info and that of Hannah's has long been lost, mainly due to the fact that they couldn't get their family info together in time for th publication of the Family History and I don't know what became of it."
[Letter from Jerry Chronister to Helen and Lester Ingram, 1986.]

Henry Levering married a third time in Arkansas to a Mrs Mary Hughes. (source: Marriage License and "Levering Family History and Genealogy" by Col John Levering (see below)).

Hot Springs, Ark., where he was postmaster.

In the autumn of 1865, during my military service as
Adjt.-Gen'l of the Dept. of Arkansas, with headquarters
at Little Rock, I was visited by a young man bearing a
letter from Henry Levering, introducing the bearer as his
stepson, Wm. Hughes. Having seen my name frequently
in official publications by the Little Rock newspapers, he
desired to make himself known, assert his loyalty and
inquire concerning me. I learned that he had married a
third time, to a Mrs. Hughes, whose son was his messen-
ger. I have made effort in this work to learn further of
him. Answer reported him dead and the family removed.

"Efforts for more specific information were made through
several supposed sources, but nothing further was learned
of the family, except that all but Hannah B. are dead [by 1897].
