Daniel Leavitt
Daniel Leavitt (November 16, 1813–July 27, 1859)〔Daniel Leavitt was alive at the time of Samuel Colt's patent infringement trial of 1852, but his interests were represented by Edward Leavitt. Whether Leavitt was a brother or a relation is unclear. Leavitt was issued a patent for a rifle mechanism in June 1859 () but would be dead the following month.〕 was an early American inventor who, with his partner Edwin Wesson, patented the first revolver after Samuel Colt's,〔(World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, Illinois, 1893, Committee on Awards, Vol. II, Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1901 )〕 and subsequently manufactured one of the first American revolving pistols.〔(Massachusetts Arms Company Wesson & Leavitt Patent Dragoon Revolver, Artfact, artfact.com )〕 The innovative design 〔Samuel Colt's first patent was granted in February, 1836, and Leavitt's granted shortly afterwards, in April 1837, indicating that both Colt and Leavitt were simultaneously working on designs for a new revolver. Leavitt's patent was granted before Colt had manufactured a single pistol, indicating that Leavitt was working on his own, without a Colt prototype to study.()〕 was manufactured only briefly before a patent suit by Colt forced the company to stop producing the Leavitt & Wesson Dragoon revolver. But Leavitt's early patents, and those of his partner Wesson, stoked competition and helped drive the technological and manufacturing boom that produced the modern firearms industry.

Leavitt was born November 16, 1813, at Rye, New Hampshire, the son of Benning Leavitt, influential businessman, state senator, county commissioner and later Chicopee Selectman,〔(Our County and Its People: A History of Hampden County, Massachusetts, Vol. III, Alfred Minot Copeland, The Century Memorial Publishing Company, 1902 )〕 and his wife Olive (Jenness) Leavitt.〔(Sketches of the Old Inhabitants and Other Citizens of Old Springfield of the Present Century, Charles Wells Chapin, Springfield Printing and Binding Company, Springfield, Mass., 1893 )〕 Daniel Leavitt married in 1838 at West Springfield, Massachusetts, Ruth Jeannette Ball. They had three children.
