 England The origins of the Leverich name come from when the Anglo-Saxon tribes ruled over Britain. The name Leverich was originally derived from a family having lived in the township of Liversedge located in the parish of Bristall just miles from Leeds. Early Origins of the Leverich familyThe surname Leverich was first found in West Yorkshire at Liversedge, a township that dates back to the Domesday Book where it was listed as Livresec, 1 a manor belonging to Radulf, a vassal of Ilbert de Lacy. The place name probably means "edge or ridge of a man called Leofhere," from the Old English personal name + "ecg." 2 The township includes the hamlets of Millbridge, Littletown, Hightown, the Heights, and Robert-Town. Liversedge Hall was anciently the property of the Neville family, lords of the manor. Today the hall is in ruins and slight remains can be seen.

 Leverich migration to the United States | + |
A great wave of immigration to the New World was the result of the enormous political and religious disarray that struck England at that time. Families left for the New World in extremely large numbers. The long journey was the end of many immigrants and many more arrived sick and starving. Still, those who made it were rewarded with an opportunity far greater than they had known at home in England. These emigrant families went on to make significant contributions to these emerging colonies in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants:
Leverich Settlers in United States in the 17th Century- William Leverich, from Suffolk who arrived in New England aboard the ship "James" in 1635, bound for Dover, NH 3
