He married Susannah Jane Wilson on 18 January 1821, Campbell County, Tennessee. They moved to Ray County, Missouri, before 1827, and to Sugar Creek Township, Harrison Co., MO, by 1845. Here they lived and managed their farm. To the union of Levi and Susannah twelve children were born: four sons and eight daughters. Times became hard, and they lost their farm.
