You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

He was educated at [[Boston Latin School]] and [[Harvard College]] ([[Bachelor of Arts|A.B.]], 1680; [[Master's degree|A.M.]], 1683).<ref name = RS>((cite web| url = https://catalogues.royalsociety.org/CalmView/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Persons&id=NA6704&pos=1|title=Search past Fellows|publisher= Royal Society|access-date = 23 January 2023))</ref>

==Career==
[[File:Coat of Arms of John Leverett.svg|150px|thumb|left|Coat of arms of John Leverett]]
For twelve years Leverett was a resident fellow at Harvard. He was appointed in 1685 at the same time as William Brattle.  Leverett and Brattle managed [[Harvard College]] while Harvard's President [[Increase Mather]] was in [[England]] for four years (1688–1692)

Leverett married on November 25, 1697, the daughter of former Harvard College president [[John Rogers (Harvard)|John Rogers]], Margaret Rogers Berry. They had nine children, six died in infancy. Margaret died on June 7, 1720.  Leverett married secondly Sarah Crisp Harris. Sarah died on April 4, 1744.

John served in the [[Province of Massachusetts Bay]] as a justice of the peace (1699), a judge in the Court of Admiralty (1705), a justice of the [[Massachusetts Superior Court of Judicature|Superior Court]] (1702–1708), judge of Probate Court for [[Middlesex County, Massachusetts|Middlesex County]] in [[Cambridge, Massachusetts|Cambridge]] (1702–1708), legislator(1696–1702) and Speaker of the [[Colonial Massachusetts]] House of Representatives (1700–1702), and provincial councillor for eastern [[District of Maine|Maine]] (1706–1708).

Leverett acted as an Indian commissioner from Massachusetts during [[Queen Anne's War]] (1701–1713). He was unable to persuade the Iroquois to enter the war on the side of the British at a conference in 1704.  Leverett raised and commanded a company of volunteers (as a lieutenant in the [[Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company|Military Company of Massachusetts]], which he joined in 1704) in the [[Siege of Port Royal (1707)|failed assaults]] on French [[Port-Royal (Acadia)|Port Royal]], Acadia in 1707.

John served for sixteen years as [[President of Harvard]] from January 14, 1708, until his death in 1724. In 1709, Leverett served as an emissary from Massachusetts Governor [[Joseph Dudley]] to New York's Governor [[John Lovelace, 4th Baron Lovelace|John Lovelace]] in negotiations for the establishment of military cooperation between Massachusetts and [[Province of New York|New York]] on the frontier and for an aborted invasion of [[Canada (New France)|Canada]].

In 1719 Leverett helped to form the Lincolnshire Company which attempted to develop land in the [[Muscongus Patent]] in [[Maine]], then part of Massachusetts. Leverett had inherited a share of this patent from his grandfather [[John Leverett]]. Nothing was accomplished and the grant was later taken over by [[Samuel Waldo]], a Boston merchant.

He was elected a [[Fellow of the Royal Society]] in 1714.<ref name= RS/>

On his death he was buried in the [[Old Burying Ground (Cambridge, Massachusetts)|Old Burying Ground]], [[Cambridge, Massachusetts]].
