INTRODUCTION
In 1855 the following circular was sent to the known members of the
Jewett family:
Wishing to perfect and perpetuate the historical genealogy of the
ancient Jewett Family, which emigrated from England, settled in Rowley,
Essex County, Mafs., A. D. 1638-9, and, through the blefsing of God, has
multiplied until its members are numbered among the citizens of every State,
and are found successfully engaged in all the profefsions, and in every in-
dustrial pursuit : We, the undersigned, give notice of a meeting of those who
bear that name, and of all who are descendants of that family, to be held at
Rowley, on the 14th day of June, A. D. 1855.
The object of the meeting will be to give an opportunity for mutual
conference, and joyful greetings, for renewing and strengthening the bands
of common brotherhood, and, in particular, to adopt measures for obtaining
such historic facts as will perfect the genealogy of the Jewett Family and
perpetuate those facts by pubhcation in a well printed and neatly bound
volume. The attendance of all the descendants of the Jewett Family is
therefore respectfully solicited, and all who receive this Circular are re-
quested to extend the notice and the invitation to such members and rela-
tives of the family as may be known to them. They are also requested to
transmit, at an early date, to Dea. Joshua Jewett, of Rowley, any interesting

THE OLD HOMESTEAD, By William Jewett Pabodie
Tune, " Bonny Doon "
As pilgrims to some sacred shrine.
As wanderers to their father's home,
To this, the cradle of our race.
With glad yet reverent hearts we come.
Two hundred years have nearly passed,
Since first this ancient roof -tree rose,
A shelter, in the wilderness.
From howling winds and savages foes.
'Twas here our fathers lived and died —
Up from this hearth, in sweet accord.
At morn arose the voice of prayer.
At evening, anthems to the Lord.
Beneath these elms, their labor done.
They gathered oft, a cheerful throng,
And whiled the twilight hours away,
While peeped the frogs their evening song.
xii Inteoduction
And oft, within, the humming of the wheel
Made pleasant sound in summer days,
Heard by the traveller, as he toiled,
Along the dim and dusty ways.
StiU in the comer ticks the clock.
That marked the hours of joy or woe.
For those whose hearts to ashes turned
More than a hundred years ago.
And still is seen the old armchair,
Where sat the sire, at close of day,
And turned with awe the sacred page,
Their guide through life's uncertain way.
For they were aye a Godly race —
Nor deem it idle boast to say,
A deacon always graced the line.
From 'Zekiel down to Joshua.
Beneath the sod they slumber now.
But yet one noble form survives.
To show us all their spotless worth,
The daily beauty of their lives.
Oh, may their virtues still descend.
While time's unwearied wing expands.
That all at length again may meet.
Meet in " a house not made with hands."
OUR FAMILY PLEDGE, By Jedediah Jewett, of Portland, Me.
Tune, " Aidd Lang Syne "
We're gathered here, a fam'ly band.
Upon Old Rowley's shore,
Though scattered wide throughout the land.
We're parted now no more.
Then here's a hand, a Jewett's hand
Which each mil pledge the other.
That aye for God and Truth we'll stand.
And ne'er forget a brother.
From pine-clad East and fertile West,
We gather here to-day ;
May this re-union now be blest,
And be remembered aye.
Then here's a hand, etc.
Inteoduction xiii
Our Father's erst, with Pilgrim bands,
Left all for which men live,
That to their Sons, in other lands,
Fair Freedom they might give.
Then here's a hand, etc.
Upon their shield they blazoned deep,
The Lily, emblem fair;
And for our crest, they bid us keep,
The Eagle, bird of air.
Then here's a hand, etc.
Unsullied let us keep that name.
As lily's bright array,
And ever upward be our aim,
With the bold bird of day.
Then here's a hand, etc.
It was expected that Dr. Charles Jewett, of Michigan, would furnish
the original hymn, but not having received his, the one below has been sub-
stituted therefor:
ORIGINAL HYMN, By H. J. Peentiss
Tune, " America "
Up to this goodly land. The fiery column's glare
Led by th' Almighty's hand Displayed Thy constant care,
Our fathers came; Through night and storm;
Trusting, O God, in Thee, By day the friendly cloud
They crossed a stormy sea. Their onward pathway showed,
Determined to be free, — With light their footsteps glowed
In Thy great name. Beneath Thine arm.
Their Vine they planted here, To God our thanks are due.
In hope and Godly fear, Who brought them safely through
And found repose; The waters wild:
With none to make afraid, Then let our praise arise
They sought its pleasant shade, To Him who rules the skies,
Their fervent prayers were said. Who hears the feeble cries
And heavenward rose. Of every child.
xiv Introduction
Oh, may their children be
A worthy progeny
Of noble sires ;
Be Truth and Right their aim,
And, in God's holy name,
Keep pure their altar's flame,
As vestal fires.
Since the meeting held in Rowley several members of the family have
attempted to compile a history and thus preserve the many valuable records
which are fast disappearing. Among those who made notable efforts to this
end were Dr. Joseph F. Jewett, of Granby, Conn., who died before he could
complete the work. Dr. Frederic A. Jewett, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and
Thomas A. Jewett, Esq., of Gardiner, Maine, who, owing to pressure of
business, were obliged to abandon the subject.
About fourteen years ago the Author undertook the task, and though
the result is, perhaps, not all that could be desired, he feels, under the circum-
stances, he has collected about all of the data obtainable at this time.
The family of Jewett is without doubt of Norman origin, but when they
settled in England and the origin of the name are surrounded with consider-
able mystery. The first syllable of the name as now spelled suggests the
question whether or not it is derived from Jew, which is a family name. The
termination " et " or " ett " could perhaps be accounted for analogically by
reference to such a name as Hewett, supposed to be derived from Hugh, Hew,
etc. The name Jew or Jews does not imply that the founder of the family
was a Hebrew, but, as Newton supposes, from his having slain Jews in Syria
when such deeds were considered meritorious. He and Guillian suppose that
the name Ives was originall}'^ Jeus, which became Jues, and then, by the com-
mon change of " I " for « J," and " U " for " V," Ives. The coat-of-arms of
this family once bore three Jews' heads couped. The arms of the family of
Jew and its derivatives are, however, entirely different from those of our
family, and those of all the families whose name have clearly a similar origin
with our own. In all these names the " T " seems to be one of the radical
letters, and the uniform presence of the letter " T " seems fatal to this sup-
posed origin.
Bardsley in " English Surnames," concludes that " the name Jewett
comes from the diminutive of Juliet," and cites a number of entries from the
Rolls of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries to establish his theory.
The "Armorial General Precede des terms du blason." Par J. B. Riestap,
" Deuxieme Edition, etc.," gives a French family, viz., Ivatte de Boishamon-
Bretagne, that settled in England about 1417. The coat-of-arms of this
family was D'azur au chevron a'arg., ace, re trois qumte feuilles du meme.
The name of this family was changed to Juatte, Jouett, Jowitt, etc. The
Introduction xv
arms, however, of the families of Jeuett and Jowitt are quite different from
ours, but appear to be of a much later date.
The coat-of-arms of the Jewetts of London Gales was : On a cross argent,
fve fleur-de-lis of the first. He beareth argent, on a cross of sable, five fleur-
de-lis of the first by the nmne Le Neve. This was the court armor in the time
of Henry IV. appertaining to Robert Le Neve, of Tiverskill, in the County of
Norfolk.
The arms of Ivat confirmed to Thomas Ivat, of London, June 27, 1628,
are similar to ours, viz., Ivatt or Ivat, Argent, on a cross gules, five fleur-de-
lis of the field {another, the tinctures reversed). Crest — Out of a mural
coronet, an armed cubit arm holding in the gauntlet all pps. a fleur-de-lis or.
The name of Jueta or Ivets occurs in the Liber Winton. This book con-
tains the survey of the City of Winchester taken by order of King Henry I.
between the years 1107 and 1128. From that time we find what is supposed
to be the name in a great variety of forms. The older forms seem to have
been Juatt, Juet, Juett, Ivet, Ivett, Jvat, Ivat, Juit, Juite, (there was a Sir
Henry Juite, Baronet, living in Ireland in 1850), Juitt. The Latin forms
are Juet, Jouitt, Jeuit, Jewitt, and Jewett.
In a series of articles entitled " American Armorial Families," arranged
by Mortimer Delano, Pursuivant of Arms, and published in 1896, he states:
" In the following roll will be found those American families that have a well
established right to court armor, by inheritance, grant, or otherwise." In
this list is given :
Jewett — Massachusetts. Gentlemen.
" Descent: Maximilian & Joseph Jewett from Bradford 1638 to Rowley,
sons of Edward Jewett, of Bradford, Yorkshire, m. 1604, d. 1615 ; descent
from Henri de Juatt 1096-9.
" Armorial Bearings — House of Juatt, England.
" Arms: Argent, on a cross gules, five fleur-de-lis argent.
" Crest : An armed arm proper holding a fleur-de-lis or. All upon the
•wreathed helmet.
" Mantling: Argent and gules."
The above Henri de Juatt was a Knight of the First Crusade, 1096-
1099. Our name frequently occurs on the records of the 13th and 14th cen-
turies, and with greater frequency in the later records. July 5, 1486, King
Henry VII., of England, granted to Henry Jewet certain ofllces for life,
viz., " Forrester of Windsor Forest and Parker of Sunnyng-Hill Park with-
in Windsor Forest," but no reason is given in the grant for these honors.
Following down to a little later date we find in Vol. XVIII. of the " Har-
lien Society (English) Reports " : " The arras of Jewett, of Chester, Eng-
land— Argent, on a cross Gules, five fleur-de-lis of the first, in dexter chief a
crescent of the second." " William Jewett, of the Cittie of Chester, alder-

" Signed Wyll'm Jewett."
Edward Jewett, father of the Jewetts who first came to America, was
born in 1580 and lived in Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England.
The arms borne by him and which were brought to this country by Deacon
Maximilian and Joseph Jewett, and which they were so careful to preserve
on the records here is thus described on old records in both France and Eng-
land : " He beareth. Gules, on a cross argent. Five f,evr-de-lis of the first.
Crest, an eaglets Neck between two Wings displayed argent, by the name
Jewett.'*
This is the coat-of-arms recognized by the Viscount de Fronsac, Chan-
cellor of the Aryan Order of St. George in 1891, in an article written by him
and with which he gives a fine illustration and states, " these are the arms of
the Jewetts of Maine and Texas."
As stated above, our crest is " am eagle's Neck between two Wings.**
The motto is " Toujours le mime."
Much information may sometimes be afforded in genealogical research
by the coat-of-arms. It will be seen on comparing the arms of the Jewetts
of Chester, arms of Ivat, arms of Jewetts of London Gales, and of the
" House of Juatt," that they are very similar to our own, and that all evi-
dence points to the view that the Jewetts descend from the " House of Juatt,
of England," and in the opinion of the Author from Henri de Juatt, the
knight of the First Crusade. It is true there is a diff^erence in the crest, but
this is not a part of a coat-of-arms. The crest is an adjunct to the coat-of-
arms, but is often carelessly spoken of as forming part of it. It is often a
play upon one's name, or is suggested by the name. Thus the crest of the
Harts may be the animal of that name or a heart.
Edward Jewett, father of Deacon Maximilian and Joseph Jewett, lived
in Bradford, England, where he was a clothier. By clothier it is not to be
understood that he sold clothes, but was a maker or manufacturer of cloths.
In those days, in England, the designation clothier was used only in the sense
of the merchant manufacturer of woolen cloth who had in his employ a larger
or smaller number of families- engaged in the various manual employments
connected therewith.
Edward Jewett lived long before the days of factories. In his time the
Introduction xvii
making of cloth was carried on in Yorkshire in private houses, the several
parts of the process being conducted by different members of the family
according to their age and sex. The clothiers of Yorkshire were considered
among the most industrious and frugal people of the kingdom. They were
of necessity capitalists. They employed weavers, fullers, etc., and furnished
them with material. In part they were accounted among the millionaires of
England. Edward Jewett seems to have been a man of property, and to have
left goodly portions to his children. The twenty families that accompanied
Mr. Rogers to New England are described by Winthrop, " most of them of
good estate." From the fact that the families of clothiers were trained from
early life to knowledge of the different parts of the operation of making
cloths, we may infer that the two sons of Edward Jewett who settled here
were also clothiers. This is confirmed by the well-known fact as stated by
Johnson in his " Wonder Working Providence," " that the settlers of Rowley
were the first people that set upon making cloth in this Western World." He
adds that many of them had been clothiers in England.
Maximilian and Joseph Jewett did not come to this country as adventur-
ers. They were men of respectability, " of good estate," and could probably
have no hopes of improving their worldly condition by emigration. They were
lovers of liberty, and men of distinct and well-marked religious views. They
were non-conformists. They had too sturdy an independence, as well as too
strong a sense of duty, to abandon what they held a truth even in the midst
of the bitterest persecution. For this reason they left their homes and sought
in the wilds of America a resting place from oppression, a spot where they
and their children might enjoy freedom to worship God. They were men of
thought and character.
The period at which they emigrated to America was one of the darkest
for the Puritans. Many ministers had been silenced or suspended. Fines and
the pillory, mutilation and torture, were remorselessly resorted to by the
friends of Archbishop Laud to compel conformity to the ceremonies of the
Established Church. The ministers of Charles the First were full of hope that
they should exterminate the pestilent heresy from the land.
Hunted down by tyranny, refused even the liberty of flight, the Puritans
were almost in despair. All who could leave, fled, most of them to America.
The same year in which our fathers emigrated, eight ships preparing to sail
for this country were by order of the Privy Council detained in the Thames.
The persecution under Archbishop Laud seems to have fallen with pecu-
liar weight upon the clothiers. This may have been owing to the fact that
many of the clothiers were descendants of Dutch and French Protestants.
Mr. Pyer in enumerating the petition for redress of grievances to Parlement
in 1640-41 instances under the head of trade, " Divers Clothiers having been
forced away who had set up their manufacturs abroad to the great hurt of
the kingdom." Smith, in the history of wool, cites the rigor of Archbishop
Laud's execution of the acts of conformity as the cause which drove many
clothiers out of the kingdom.
xviii Introduction
In the year 1638 there came from England to the new world, in all,
twenty ships and at least three thousand persons. Among them were our
ancestors, who sailed from Hull in the ship John of London, with about
twenty other Puritans and their families (some sixty persons in all), under
the leadership of Ezekiel Rogers, and landed in Boston about the first of
December, 1638,
The Rev. Ezekiel Rogers, a learned and eloquent minister of Rowley,
England, having been suspended for non-conformity, collected from his
hearers and his other Yorkshire friends this little company, and with them
came to America. It is stated that so great was the respect for Mr. Rogers
that though he was suspended from the active duties of his office he was
allowed to enjoy the profits of his living for two years afterwards, and per-
mitted to name a substitute who was afterwards himself suspended for refus-
ing to read the sentence against his predecessor. These two years we may
suppose were employed by Mr. Rogers in gathering his future band of
emigrants. His project seems to have excited considerable attention among
the nobility and gentry. Pie states that he felt himself under obligations.
for the sake of many persons of high rank, to make choice of a good location
here.
Some of his company were doubtless his former parishioners, but the
Jewetts lived in Bradford, one hundred miles from Rowley. Mr. Rogers may
have gone to Bradford for the purpose of obtaining accessions to his com-
pany, or our ancestors may have heard of the intentions of the great minister
and sought him out.
Upon their arrival in Boston their first act illustrates their dignity and
courtesy as well as their piety. John Williams states in his " History of New
England," that " Ezekiel Rogers, son of Richard Rogers, of Weathersfield,
in Essex, a worthy son of so worthy a father, lying at Boston with some who
came out of Yorkshire with him, where he had been a painful preacher many
years, being desirous to partake in the Lord's Supper with the church of
Boston, did first impart his desire to the elders, and having given them satis-
faction, they acquainted the church with it ; and before the sacrament, being
called forth by the elders, he spoke to this eff'ect, viz., that he and his company
(viz., divers families who came over with him) had of a good time, withdrawn
themselves from the church communion of England, and that for many cor-
ruptions which were among them. But first he desired, that he might not be
mistaken, as if he did condemn all there ; for he did acknowledge a special
presence of God there in three things: 1st in the soundness of doctrine in all
fundamental truths ; 2nd in the excellency of ministerial gifts ; 3rd in the
blessing upon the same, for the work of conversion and for the power of reli-
gion, in all which there appeared more, &c., in England than in all the known
world besides. Yet there are such corruptions, as, since God let them see some
light therein, they could not, with safe conscience, join any longer with
them. The first, is their national church ; second, their hierarchy, wholly anti-
Introduction xix
christian ; third, their dead service ; fourth, their receiving (nay compelling)
all to partake of the seals; fifth, their abuse of excommunication, wherein
they enwrap many a godly minister, by causing him to pronounce their sen-
tences, &c., they not knowing that the fear of the excommunication lies in
that. Hereupon they bewailed before the Lord their sinful partaking so long
in those corruptions, and entered a covenant together, to walk together in
all the ordinances &c."
Winthrop also states : " A plantation was begun between Ipswich and
Newbury. The occasion was this: Mr. Eaton and Mr. Davenport having
determined to sit down at Quinipiack, there came over one Mr. Ezekiel Rogers,
of Weathersfield in England, and with him some twenty godly men, and most
of them of good estate. They laboured by all means to draw him with them
to Quinipiack. He consulted with the elders of the bay, by their advice, he
and his people took that place by Ipswich."
Thus was the town of Rowley, Massachusetts, founded and settled by
Mr. Rogers and his hardy band of Puritans^ of which Maximilian and Joseph
Jewett were prominent members. In 1639, " Being settled in Rowley, they
renewed their church covenant, and their call to Mr. Rogers to the office of
pastor, according to the course of other churches."
The town was incorporated " 1639 ; 4 day of the 7th month, ordered that
Mr. Ezekiel Rogers' Plantation shall be called Rowley." The place was
named in honor of Mr. Rogers, he having been the minister in Rowley, Eng-
land, a number of years.
The history of our family, quiet and unpretending as it has always been,
is associated with the most stirring and impressive events of modem times^.
Our ancestors were actors in the most important scenes of the moving pan-
orama of human progress. To the English Puritans — ^their enemies them-
selves being the judges — are to be attributed the strongest steps in the
march of freedom. The great principles of civil and religious liberty were
first fully developed and established by their efforts and sacrifices. The
colonization of this country by such men first gave an assured resting place
for these principles upon earth, and when viewed in all its bearings and con-
sequences can be said to have done more for the progress of our race in the
paths of true civilization than any and all other assignable human causes.
All of the Jewetts of this country spring from the common ancestor with
the exception of four families who have come from England since 1800, and
these are undoubtedly of the same family. This work includes these families.

He was overseer of the will of Rev. Ezekiel Rogers, signed April 17,
1660, and " In the year 1665, five years after the death of Rev. Ezekiel
Rogers, his relative Ezekiel Rogers, son of the Rev. Nathaniel Rogers, of
Ipswich, brought an action against the widow of his uncle which occasioned
the following: The testimony of Maximilian Jewett saith that I heard our
]\Ir. Rogers express himself very much dissatisfied with the carriage of
Ezekiel Rogers, in particularly his familiarity with John Smith, his servent,
the Scotchman, & that in some times going behind the meeting house, which
bred fears & jealousies in his mind. He also objected to him because he wore
long haire." He was a clothier and with his brother Joseph was about the
first, if not the first, to manufacture woolen cloth in America.
" Ann the wife of Maximillian Jewet buried November ye ninth day
1667." (Ch. R.) He married (2d) Aug. 30, 1671, Elinor Boynton, widow
of John Boynton. She was a Miss Pell, of Boston. " Maximylian Jewit and
Ellinor Boynton married August the thirty day, 1671." (Ch. R.)
" Maximelian Jewit died October ye Ninetenth day 1684." (Rowley
Ch. R.)
His widow married (3d) in Ipswich, Mass., June 1, 1686, Daniel Warner,
Sr., of Ipswich, and as his widow died in Rowley, Aug. 5, 1689.
His last will is filed in the Clerk of the Courts' office at Salem, Mass.,
among the Essex County Papers, Vol. XLII., page 46. The following is a
true copy :
" In the name of God, Amen. I Maxemillian Jewett of Rowley in the

Joseph Jewett, with his wife Mary, and one or two children, came to
America with his older brother, Maximilian, in the ship John in the fall of
1638, and settled in Rowley, Mass., in 1639. He was made freeman May 22,
1639. He became a large land owner and one of the leading men of the town,
was representative to the General Court in 1651, 1652, 1653, 1654, and 1660,
and was one of the two stewards for each of these sessions.

Joseph Jewett lived in Rowley, was made freeman July 9, 1684, and was
Representative to the General Court for the years 1718 and 1719. He was
active in town affairs and was a man of energy and character. He was a
soldier in King Philip's War, serving first in Capt. Joseph Gardiner's Co. (of
Salem), who was killed in this war, and later in Major Appleton's Co. Was in
the list of Feb. 29, 1675-6. He was in the Narragansett Campaign and for
his services received £2. 14s. and a grant of land. The following is an ac-
count of the principal battle of this Campaign, in which he participated,
(from the " New England Hist, and Gen. Reg.") : " After the disastrous
campaign of the Autumn of 1675 in the Western part of the Colony of Mas-
sachusetts, the hostile Indians retreated toward the south and to winter
quarters amongst the Narragansetts. They erected a fort on an elevation of
land (a sort of island) of four or five acres surrounded by swampy land.
There is no monument to mark this site of one of the most brilliant victories
in American warfare.
" It was planned by those in authority to strike a decisive blow to the
Indians in their winter quarters and on Dec. 9th, 1675 the Massachusetts
forces consisting of six companies of foot under Capt's. Mosle}', Gardiner,
Davenport, Oliver and Johnson, and a troop of horse under Capt. Prentice
mustered on Dedham Plains under command of Major Appleton, who himself
led the first company. They were joined by the Plymouth forces, two com-
panies under Major William Bradford and Capt. John Gorham. The quota
of Plymouth Colony was one hundred and twenty men.
" To the soldiers a proclamation was made at this time on the part of
the Massachusetts Council, ' that if they played the man, took the Fort, &
Drove the Enemy out of Narrangansett Country, which was their great Seat,
that they should have a gratuity in land besides their wages.' General Win-
slow was in command and on the same afternoon they marched twenty-seven
miles to Woodcock's Garrison, now Attleboro. In the evening of Friday,
Dec. 10th they arrived at Seekouk where vessels of supplies were in wait-
ing . . . Capt. Mosley and his company sailed direct from here to the
garrison-house at Wickford. The rest of the force ' ferried over the water
to Providence ' and probably formed a junction with the main part of the
Plymouth Regiment at Providence on Saturday, Dec. 11th. In the evening
of Sunday, Dec. 12, the whole body advanced ' from Mr. Carpenter's,
crossed the Pautuxet River,' now Warwick, R. I. ; but from the unskilfulness
of their Warwick scouts . , . their purpose of capturing Pomham and his
people was defeated, and after a whole night spent in weary marching about,
they arrived at Mr. Smith's garrison-house at Wickford on the 13th, and
found their vessels from Seekouk already arrived. ... On the 14th they
went out through the country to the westward and burned the town of the
26 Jewett Genealogy
Sachem ' Ahmus,' ... up to the 15th they had captured or killed, in all
fifty persons and had prisoners in hand numbering seventy-five.
" Friday, Dec. ITth came news of the arrival of the Connecticut regi-
ment at Pettisquamscott. Our Army seems to have been disposing of the
captives and preparing for the march. Forty-seven of the captives were sold
to Capt. Davenport on Saturday, Dec. 18.
" The General, leaving a small garrison at Wickford pushed his Army
forward to Pittisquamscott, and about five p. m. joined the Connecticut troops
consisting of about three hundred English and one hundred and fifty Mo-
hegan Indians. In a severe snow-storm, the whole force, about one thousand
men, encamped in the open field through that bitter cold night. Sunday, Dec.
19th before daybreak, the whole force marched away towards the enemy's
great rendezvous.
" About one o'clock, p. m., the Army came upon the enemy at the edge
of the swamp, in the midst of which the Indian fortress was built, the Mass-
achusetts Regiment leading the march, and immediately opened fire upon them
— thus at the beginning gaining the important advantage of the first fire,
which the Indians had almost always gained from ambush, as they doubtless
purposed now. The Indians returned the fire with an ineffectual volley, and
then fled into the swamp closely pursued by the foremost companies, who did
not wait for the word of command, or stand much upon the ' order of their
going,' until they reached the fortification within which the Indians hastily
betook themselves. This fort was on an island of some five or six acres in the
midst of a cedar swamp, which was impassable except to the Indians by their
accustomed paths, and was now made passable only by the severe cold of the
previous day and night. It is probable that the Indians depended chiefly
upon the swamp to protect them, though their defences are described as hav-
ing been of considerable strength. A writer says of their fort ' the Indians
had built a kind of Fort, being palisaded round, and within that a clay wall,
as also felled down abundance of Trees to lay quite round the said Fort, but
tliey had not quite finished the said work.' At the comers and exposed posi-
tions, rude block-houses and flankers had been built, from which a raking fire
could be poured upon any attacking force. . . . The fight had now raged
for nearly three hours with dreadful carnage in proportion to the numbers
engaged, when finally an entrance was made into the Fort and the Indians fled
to the woods. . . . When now the fortress and all its contents were burning,
and destruction assured, our soldiers hastily gathered their wounded and as
many as possible of their dead, and formed their shattered column for the
long and weary march back to Wickford.
" Of the details of the march to Wickford very little is known, through a
bitter cold winter's night, in a blinding snow-storm carrying two hundred
and ten of their wounded and dead, these soldiers, who had marched from
dawn till high noon, had engaged in a desperate life and death struggle from
noon till sunset, now plodded sturdily back to their quarters of the day before,
through deepening snows and over unbroken roads, they reached their quar-
Third Generation 27
ters at two o'clock in the morning. Their dead numbered sixty-eight and
wounded one hundred and fifty. Eight of the dead were left in the fort,
twelve died when they started back to Wickford, twenty-one died on the
march, and before the next day, Monday, Dec. 20, they buried thirty-four
in one grave and six more within two days.
" The grave of the forty buried at Wickford was marked by a tree called
the ' grave apple tree ' which was blowed down in 1810. The wounded were
sent in vessels to Rhode Island.
" The Indian force amounted to about five thousand. Of this number,
Indian prisoners reported their loss as sevei\ hundred killed, besides the many
wounded and captured."
Joseph Jewett died in Rowley Oct. 29, 1735. The church record by
Rev. Jedediah Jewett is as follows : " 1735 My Grandfather Joseph Jewett,

Court now sitting at Salem this 27 of November, Anno Dom. 1678. The
humble request of Christopher Babbage & Hannah his wife that whereas Mr.
Edward Carlton sometimes of Rowley left an estate in New England when he
went out of the country, part of which (he sending his son John Carlton by
virtue of a letter of Aturney did receive in his behalf), wee conceiving that
there being some of his estate unreceived by his said son, desire this Honoured
Court would appoynt some of our relations, Jeremiah Jewett or Nehemiah
Jewett or both to be administrators to the estate of the sayd Mr. Edward
Carlton that if anything may be preserved, it may be fourth-comming to
the children of the said Hannah relict of the said John Carlton deceased, the

was well educated and very prominent in the affairs of Essex County : most
of the wills and deeds of his townsmen from 1675 to the time of his death were
drawn by him." (Essex Inst. Hist. Col.)

" Revolution May 9, 1689, the bloodless over throAv of Andress govern-
ment having been affected on the 18ult. Rev. John Wise and Nehemiah
Jewett meet with other Representatives in Boston to consult with the Council
about public affairs of the Colony." (Gage.)
" He was on a committee to compensate individuals who were damaged
by prosecution to witchcraft or the heirs of such among these individuals who
h'ad died." (Gage.)
Was prominent in the Church, served as Elder many years, and often
acted as advisor in matters relating to its affairs, one instance of which was
(From " N. E. H. and G. R.") : " Divers of the Brethren of the Church at
Salem Village being greivously offended by reason of the (in their estima-
tion) unwarrantable actings of their Pastor Mr. Parris, in the matter of
Witchcraft, " do therefore habitually absent themselves from Pubhc Wor-
ship," and from Communion at the Lord's Table," notwithstanding the en-
deavors of the Pastor and the Church to enforce their attendance thereupon.
The grounds of their dissatisfaction are these:
" 1 — The distracting and disturbing tumults and noises made by the
persons under Diabolical power and delusions, preventing, sometimes their
hearing and understanding and profiting by the word preached.
" 2 — Their apprehensions of danger of themselves being accused as the
Devils instruments to molest and afflict the persons complaining ; they seeing
those whom they had reason to esteem better than themselves thus accused,
blemished, and of lives bereaved.
" 3 — The declared and published principle of their Pastor, and his fre-
quent and positive preaching of the same, with respect to the dark and dismal
mysteries of working amongst them, and their molestation from the invisible
world ; his easy and strong faith and belief of the affirmations and accusations
made by those they call the afflicted ; his approving and practising unwar-
rantable methods for discovering what he was desirous to know referring to
the bewitched or possessed persons, as bringing some to others, and by and
from them pretending to inform himself and others who were the Devil's in-
struments to afflict the sick and pained; and his not rendering to the world
a fair, if true account of what he wrote on examination of the afflicted.
" 4 — His unsafe and unaccountable oath given by him against sundry
cf the accused and his zeal in seeking out the suspected, insomuch that one
of the disaffected brethren (John Tarbell by name) tells him to his face that
he has been " the great persecutor, and that had it not been for him his
mother's nurse might have been still living, and so freed from execution.
" 5 — His persisting in these principles and justifying his practices,
though others, wise and learned, who were as forward as himself, are sorry
for what they have done, and see their error therein."
Elders of four churches were requested to decide the trouble; the
churches selected were North Boston, Rowley, Maiden, and Weymouth ; two
other churches in Boston were added, viz., The Old Church and the Third
Church.

" April 3, 1695.— The Council Meets at Salem Village (Church of Mai-
den being absent on account of sickness of the wife of the Rev. Elder thereof)
who, after an examination of the matters in difference, " unanimously de-
clare and advise as f olloweth : "
" I — Wee judge, That albeit in y^ Late and y® Dark Time of y® con-
fusions wherein Satan had obtained a more than ordinary Hberty to the
sifting of this Plantation, there were sundry unwarrantable and uncomfort-
able steps taken by Mr. Samuel Parris y® pastor of y® Church in Salem Vil-
lage, then under y® hurrying Distractions of amazing Afflictions, yet the
said Mr. Parris, by y® Good Hand of God brought unto a better sense of
things hath so fully expressed it, that a Christian charitie may and should
receive satisfaction therewith: (Note — " In his Meditations for Peace" read
before the whole Congregation on Sabbath day, Nov. 18, 1694, and again be-
fore the Church and dissenting brethren Nov. 26th., in this paper the Pastor
expresses his regrets for any errors of which he may have been guilty, ' And
by all,' says he ' I do humbly own this day before the Lord and his people, y'
God has been righteously spitting in my face.)
" II — Inasmuch as diverse Christian Brethren in the Church of Salem
Village have been offended at Mr. Parris for his conduct in the time of ye
difficulties and calamities which have distressed them, wee now advise them
charitably to accept the satisfaction which he hath tendered, in his Christian
acknowledgements of the errors committed. Yea, to endeavour as far as 'tis
possible, y® fullest reconciliation of their minds unto communion w*'^ him, in
y® whole exercise of his ministry, and with the rest of the Church.
" III — Considering y® extreme trials and troubles which the dissatis-
fied brethren in y® Church of Salem Village have undergone, in the day of
sore temtation wh^^ hath been upon them, wee cannot but advise y^ Church to
treat them w*'^ bowels of much compassion: instead of all more critical or
rigorous proceedings against them for the infirmities by them in such an
heart-breaking day. And, if after a patient waiting for it, the said brethren
cannot so far overcome y® uneasiness of their spirits, in y® remembrance of
ye disasters that have happened, as to sit under his ministry, we advise y®
Church, with all tenderness, to grant them a dismission unto any other So-
ciety of the Faithful, whereunto they may desire to be dismissed.
" IV — Mr. Parris, having as we understand, w*^ much Fidelltie and In-
tegritie Acquitted himself in y® main course of his Ministry, since he hath
been Pastor to y® Church In Salem Village, about his first call whereunto wee
look upon all contestations now to be both unreasonable and unseasonable ;
and our Lord having made him a blessing unto the souls of not a few, both
old and young in this place, wee Advise that He be accordingly Respected,
Honoured and Supported, with all the Regards that are due to a painful
minister of y® Gospele.
" V — Having observed that there is in Salem- Village a spirit full of con-
tentions and Animoeitles, too sadly verrifying y® Blemish wh*^^ hath hereto-
fore lian upon them ; and y* some complaints brought ags* Mr. Parris have
Third Generation 33
been either causeless and groundless, or unduly aggravated; wee do, in y^
Name and Fear of y^ Lord, solemnly warn them to consider, whether, if they
continue to Devour One Another, it will not be bitterness in y^ Latter-End ;
and Beware lest y^ Lord be provoked thereby utterly to deprive them of those
w'^'' they should account their precious and pleasant things, and abandon
them to all y^ Desolations of a People that sin away the Mercies of the
Gospele.
" VI — If y^ Distempers in Salem- Village should be (w'^'^ God forbid) so
Incurable, y' Mr. Parris, after all, find y^ he cannot, w*^"" any comfort and
service, continue in his present station, his Removall from thence will not
expose him unto any hard character w*'' us, nor, we hope, w*^'' y^ rest of y^
People of God, among whom wee live.
" All w*^'' Advice wee follow w*^*^ our Prayers &c. &c."

127 EZEKIEL JEWETT (Thomas-% Ezekie^, Maximilian% Ed-
ward^), was born in Rowley, Mass., Jan. 12, 1692-3. He married in New-
bury, Mass., Jan. 9, 1718, Martha Thurston, daughter of Daniel and Mary
(Dresser) Thurston, of Newbury. She was born Nov. 27, 1699, and died in
Boxford, Mass., Sept. 7, 1780.
He came into possession of his father's farm in Boxford and there lived
and raised his large family. It seems he owned lands in other places.
From old deeds in possession of his descendants, and from the records, it
appears that he owned several tracts in Rindge, N. H., where some of his
children later made their homes. In the History of Winchendon, Mass.,
we find " March 16, 1754, Ezekiel Jewett enters his claim for one of the
first settlers." He was active in settling Boxford and his name often ap-
pears on the old records of that town, i. e., " Committee for fixing town line
headed by Ezecal Jueat." " The town was enlarged by land being pur-
chased by certain men, among whom was Ezekiel Jewett," etc.
He was a soldier in the Indian and French wars.
" Mr. Jewett died in the fall of 1775 and four years later his heirs
sold to Deacon James Chute, of Rowley, who came into possession upon the
widow's death. Deacon Chute was connected with the family, his wife's
sister having married Rev. David Jewett, one of the heirs." (Blodgette. )
" His will dated March 31, 1775, proved -Nov. 7, 1775, mentions: himself as
of Boxford ; wife Martha ; sons Ezekiel, Stephen, Jonathan, Rev. David ;
daughters Martha Brown (wife of John Brown of Monson) and her chil-
dren (unnamed); Hannah Wood's children; Hepzibah Chaplin, wife of
John Chaplin ; Sarah Hale ; Lydia wife of Elkanan Winchester (of Brook-
line) ; four children of eldest son Thomas, deceased — viz., Daniel ; Hannah
Snow; Sarah Poor and Enoch; trusty friend Joseph Hale junior of Box-
ford to be executor. His widow Martha's will mentions same children."

In connection with the above grant of land to Rev. Mr. Jewett I append
the following letter, which not only shows one of the many perils our early
forefathers were exposed to, but also his narrow escape from capture by
the Indians:
Montreal, Oct. 19, 1754.
" Rev. Sir — The reason of my directing these lines to you is, because
it seems most likely that they will sooner arrive to the hands of a person
of your note than to any body else. Before I proceed, I should give you
a short description of my captivity. That day. Sir, in August last (the
15th) that you left my house at Contoocook, I was taken by the Indians,
and by them carried to St. Francois, where we arrived in thirteen days, and
after I had been with them eight weeks, they sold me to a French gentle-
man for 300 livers, which sum must be paid before I can be free — which
looks somewhat difl'icult to me. But I hope that I have some friends in
Rowley that will contribute part of that sum for my relief; and I shall
take it as a favor of you if you will move a contribution in your parish.
There will be no difl5culty in my redemption if the money be paid, and there
is no difliculty in coming at any time in the year. In the winter people
pass on the ice all the way to Albany, excepting a few miles.
" Inform the people at Contoocook, that Nelson and his wife are sold
to a French minister near Quebeck, and his boy in this town, and his
eldest girl is with the Indians ; their youngest child, I believe, died at St.
Francois a month ago. Samuel Scribner, who was taken at Bakerstown
when I was, I hear is sold to the French at Chambly, about 12 miles from
this place ; and Robert Barber, taken at the same place, sold to a French-
man about a mile from St. Francois. They all desire release.
" I can write no more at present, only to ask an interest in your
prayers, and beg leave to subscribe myself
" Your most obedient and humble servant
" ENOS BISHOP "
" N. B. Caution the frontiers to be on their guard. If any person
comes or sends for me, let them repair to Col. John Lydius of Albany for
directions." (N. E. H. and G. R.)

The ark of God, to this lone shore;

The hand was raised, the pledge was given.
One monarch to obey, one creed to own.
That monarch, God; that creed. His word alone.

In life, in death, with him to seal
Her kindred love, her kindred zeal.

Fifth Generation 87
He was selectman of Hollis 1766, and became deacon of the Hollis
Church in 1770. During the Revolution he was active in town affairs and
served on various committees. " At a town meeting of Hollis held Nov. 7,
1774, Deacon Stephen Jewett was appointed one of the delegates to Hills-
borough County Congress at Amherst, which was held five months before
the battle of Lexington. This is the first allusion to the existing pohtical
troubles and forthcoming conflict" (in Holhs). (Hist, of HoHis.)
" Dea. Stephen Jewett and Dea. Enoch Noyes were selected at a special
town meeting April 3, 1775, as delegates to a second County Congress at
Amherst, " to see what method should be taken to raise money for the Con-
tinental Congress at Philadelphia." (Hist, of Hollis.)
He was on the Lexington Alarm List and served in the expedition to
Ticonderoga under Capt. Emerson, 1776.
Extract of a letter sent by his grandson Stephen Jewett to Deacon
Joshua Jewett, June 5, 1856:
Speaking of Deacon Stephen Jewett he says : " Naturally he pos-
sessed far more than ordinary amiableness of mind and disposition, and
added to this, he was probably, carefully instructed from his childhood up
in the way he should go. For according to history he pubhcly professed
faith in Christ at the early age of fifteen years. At some time it was deter-
mined by his friends or himself or all together more probably that he should
take a college course and he was accordingly fitted to enter college, but his
health had become so impaired that he was obliged to relinquish his studies
and abandon the contemplated course. He had in view undoubtedly in
obtaining a thorough education to become a preacher; this I infer from
the character of the man in after hfe as altogether probable; but have no
recollection of ever hearing the subject spoken of. In due time he turned
his attention to agriculture and emigrated from Rowley to Hollis, N. H.,
and about the commencement of 1752 married widow Hannah Cummings
who had five children and I suppose he went on to her farm upon what
conditions I know not, and aided in the training up of those children in
connection with five more born to him by his wife. I may be permitted
here to digress somewhat and say something particularly of this grand-
mother. Originally she was Hannah Farwell of Dunstable, N. H. She
married Cummings of Hollis and they settled on the farm alluded to ;
a new country indeed then and five children were here born to them.
" This grandmother possessed strong mental powers of mind, was firm
and inflexible, but a devoted, pious woman, and her precepts and example
went far in forming the Christian character of all of her ten children, five
by each husband. The last five by my grandfather were Stephen, Rebecca,
Noah, Jonathan and Lois. These all lived to marry and bring up famihes
except Lois, who died at the age of about thirty, and all became pious in
early life. That these ten children should all become pious in the morning
of life tells favorably of the training they received at home while under their
parents. My grandfather was rather reserved in his general character
88 Jewett Genealogy
and by no means a public man. As a private Christian he greatly excelled
and here was his grand forte. He was a Deacon in the church of which
he and his wife were members a long series of years and vacated the office only
at his death. My grandmother died December 10, 1793, and at about this
time he broke up housekeeping and became a resident of my father's family,
where he remained until his death May 23, 1803. After becoming a member
of his son's family, they, the father and son, determined that they should
lead alternately in morning and evening devotions of the family and this
arrangement was strictly adhered to, both being present — variations being
occasionally made according to existing exigencies. I left my father's resi-
dence February , 1799, and took up my residence in my father's oldest
brother's family, Dea. Noah Jewett, then of Cornish, Dist. of Maine.
Early in May, 1803, my father wrote his brother, Dea. Noah, and my-
self, then neighbors, that his father lay at the point of death, had continued
beyond the expectations of all his friends there; was at times a great suf-
ferer, but it was possible we might find him living if we could come on forth-
with.
" We received the communication and was on our way with the least pos-
sible delay and we found our almost dearest friend alive, but he could not
speak at the time we arrived, only with almost inaudible whispers. He had
just passed through one of his extremely distressing spasms. God seemed
to be his all and all. What I had particularly in view in communicating the
circumstances in connection with the closing days of our greatly endeared
friend was to show the strong confidence and faith he had in the religion of
Jesus Christ. Early after our arrival, when he had sufficiently recovered to
express his feelings, he raised his hands and exclaimed, ' I bless God for
that religion which I professed at the age of fifteen, which has been my
support all along through life and is now my only support in these my
extreme suffering." What more convincing proof could have been given
of the stern reality of the Christian religion.?"

He was one of the first settlers of Sharon, Conn., was Selectman of the
town twelve years and member of the Colonial Legislature eleven sessions.
There seems to be great confusion regarding the war record of Captain
Jewett. He was called Captain before 1764, and may have been Captain
of the Minute-men of Sharon, but the Caleb Jewett who was captured at
" The Cedars " also enlisted April 1, 1782, four years after the death of
Capt. Jewett, and was, probably, his son Caleb.
Capt. Jewett died in Sharon Jan. 18, 1778. The epitaph on his grave-
stone is as follows:
" Let not the dead forgotten lie
Lest we forget that we must die."

288 REV. DAVID JEWETT (Joseph"^ Joseph", Joseph*, Ed-

married Patience Phillips, of Cambridge or Boston, Mass. She died in New

widow of William Prince, of Montville, Conn. She died April 18, 1799,
aged 77 years and 4 months.
He graduated from Harvard College in 1736, and was ordained pastor
of the Second Church in New London (now Montville), Conn. Before go-
ing to New London he was employed as a missionary to the Mohegan Indians
and acquired the favor of the tribe. He was their steady and constant
friend, was their counseller and adviser in both temporal and spiritual
matters, often preaching to them and particularly on the death of Ben
Uncas (1769), who was the last Sachem of the Mohegans. (" Hist, of Conn.
Indians." — Danforth.) No minister in the country stood higher among his
own flock, or in the esteem of his brethren than Mr. Jewett. He was a man
of dignified deportment, rigorous in discipline, but very assiduous in his call-
ing. (" Hist, of New London, Conn." — Caulkins.)
He was a chaplain in the Army in 1756, often afterwards in the French
War, and the Revolution. In the church record he says of himself, " I was
recommended to this church from the Church of Christ in Rowley, the Rev.
106 Jewett Genealogy
Mr. Jewett, Pastor," " My wife Patience, was recommended from the
church in Salem, Mr. Fisk, Pastor."
The tradition is, that he became engaged to Miss PhilHps while he was
a student of theology; that he was very ill and she, being a member of the
same family, nursed him so kindly and assiduously as to produce a life-long
and loving attachment between them. The tradition of the origin of this
attachment has been preserved in his Parish to account for him marrying a
lady born with only one hand and about ten years older than himself.
His will, dated a short time before his decease, mentions : His wife
Mary; son David Hibberd Jewett, and my grandchildren David, Charles,
Elizabeth, and Sarah Jewett; my dear son-in-law Ehsha Porter, Esq., of

" Ezekiel Jewett was engaged in the French and Indian War and sub-
sequently married. The home of his bride was about a mile distant from
his own, and on the opposite shore of Pool Pond. After their return from
the marriage ceremony, which was performed in HolUs, N. H., the journey
from her former to her future home was made in a log canoe across the
pond and by marked trees through the forest, where now is located the track
of the Monadnock Railroad. Her parents presented the young wife with
one chair and one bed ; her husband furnished a few rude utensils and five
army blankets, and with these conveniences their married life was begun.
" Their first babe was born in the month of April. Their store of
maple sugar was first made, and then the sap-trough was employed for a
cradle, in which the sleep of the infant was presumably sweet."
" They were prospered in their primitive home, and acquired a con-
siderable estate and many of the comforts of life. He was a man of ability
and in character above reproach."
It seems from the records that Ezekiel Jewett, with several others,
were decided in their views in regard to Church matters, as will be seen from
the following record of a town meeting held in Rindge to " decide what
shall be done with several inhabitants of the town who refused to pay
their share of the Minister's salery." At this meeting the following letter
was read:
120 Jewett Genealogy
Rindge, January, 3, 1769.
" To the Gentlemen Selectmen and to the Town of Rindge —
" The reasons of our not meeting with you were these — we are (I''')
against those that Preach for money or those that ask pay for kindling a
Fire on God's alter.
" 2'^ We believe that Baptism is Rightly administered by Immersion
only of Diping y^ whole Body of the party in Water into the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit According to Christ's In-
structions and the practice of the Apostles, and not by Sprinkling or
Pouring of Water or Diping some part of the Body After the Tradition
of Men.
" Signed : Ezekiel Jewett ; Stephen Jewett ; Jonathan Jewett, and six
others.
" On the back of said Reasons were writ, Malachi Chapter 1 Verse 10;
Micah Chapter 3 Verse II "
The town voted not to discharge them from paying any salary to the
Rev. Mr. Seth Dean.
April 24, 1768 — " The church then met and after fervent Prayer to
Almighty God for Direction, a complaint was then made against Ezekiel
Jewett, a member of s*^ church for his withdrawing himself from public
worship & turning his Back upon y^ ordinance of y® Lords Supper which
conduct of his was inquired into whether his withdrawing was sinful and
unscriptural, After his Defence was made and heard y^ church tho* proper
to adjourn s*^ meetig until Thursday y® 2^ of June Next, to hear further
and make further inquiry into s*^ case and y® above s^ Jewett Avas then
notified of s*^ meeting "
On Dec. 12 of the same year is this record: "At a church meeting
held by adjournment on the case of Ezekiel Jewett who had for a long
time absented himself from y® word preached, and from special ordinances,
concerning which conduct of said Jewett by a vote of y® church council
was asked of an association." By a letter dated New Ipswich, Nov. 9,
1769, their advice was " to treat y^ case with much Tenderness and at
present omit church discipline. We promise by y® Grace of God, for y*'
to Treat him with all Tenderness but this we say in honor to Christs
Church of which we are members and in faithfulness to our souls that y®
above s^ withdraw of s** Jewett from special ordinances is unscriptural and
Sinful." (Hist, of Rindge-Stearns.)

361 REV. DAVID JEWETT (EzekieP-^ Thomas'', EzekieP, Maxi-

in Rowley, Mass., by Rev. James Chandler, Oct. 3, 1771, Phebe Thurston
Sixth Generation 123
of Rowley, daughter of Deacon Richard and Mehitable (Jewett 183)
Thurston. She was born in Rowley Dec. 14, 1741.
He graduated from Harvard College in 1769, was ordained Sept. 1,
1771, and settled over the Congregational Church of Candia, N. H., in
1771. The hard times of the Revolution coming on and the town small, they
could not pay his salary, and he was dismissed about 1780. Jan. 2, 1782,
he settled in Winthrop, Me., and became the first pastor of the Congrega-
tional Church of that town. " Oct. 17, 1781, Rev. David Jewett, who had
been pastor of a church in Candia, N. H., was invited to become their
pastor (Winthrop). The 19th of November he signified his acceptance
of their proposals. The same day the church and the pastor elect agreed
to send to the following pastors and churches viz — Rev. Mess. Upham of
; Chadwick of Scarboro ; Webster of Arundell (now Biddeford) ; Eaton
of Harpswell; Whitney of New Castle, and Moore of Pownalborough to
compose the installing council. Jan. 2, 1782, the installation took place,
but who of them attended and performed on the occasion is not known. The
result of the Council is lost. In about 14 months after the installation their
pastor was removed by sudden death. During the following 17 years they
remained destitute of a pastor." (Hist, of Winthrop-Thurston.)
" Oct. 17, 1781, the town voted as an encouragement to Rev. David
Jewett to settle with us to give him the grant of a 260 acre lot and £60
lawful money the first year and the said salary to increase yearly as our
interest increases until it arrives to £80 the same to be estimated at Rye at
5s per bushel ; indian corn at 4s and beef at 3d per pound ; what money he
shall receive towards his salary shall be in proportion to the aforesaid articles
as herein stated. And to prevent all misunderstanding of this vote it is
the true intent and meaning of the same that if said articles fall, the salary
shall fall in proportion, but that his salary shall be paid in proportion to
the above said articles not exceeding the within price. The town voted to
raise and pay Mr. Jewett £12 lawful money, probably for his services prior
to this settlement."
His answer to the call of the church and people of Winthrop follows :
" And now Gentlemen of the town of Winthrop respecting your grant
for the support of a public Teacher, you have done honorably and well:
and have even exceeded my most sanguine desire. I therefore most cheer-
fully donate and refund one-twentieth of my salary during my ministry
among you for the support of a school and to be distributed at the discretion
of the selectmen of the town : only shall expect to be absent two Sabbaths
in a year for the purpose of visiting my friends at a distance; should I
occasionally be absent longer than that term shall expect to refund it out
of my yearly salary, sickness only excepted. Wishing you the blessings of
God, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the consolation of the Holy
Spirit I am your affectionate and most humble servant
" David Jewett
" Dated at Winthrop, Me., Nov. 16, 1781."

AEtat. 53.
The voice of God Call'd, anon I obey'd,
Resign'd my life, & nature's debt I paid
My fabric now sleeps, my labours are o'er.
My spirits landed on the boundless shore.
Nor you friends, can death, God's messenger stay,
But must repose too, in mouldering clay.
Then your golden days improve, as they haste,
Living joys flowing from Religion taste.
Be wise, love mercy, humbly with God walk
Then vice can't proffered fruitions mock.
That you may sing, in Canaan's liberty,
O death, grave, where are thy sting & Vict'ry

" The Petition of the Inhabitants of Hopkinton in this Province of New
Hampshire, humbly sheweth. That whereas we your humble Petitioners
have been at great cost & charge in Settling a New Township, and settling
the Gospel and maintaining it among us. Paying the Arrears of the Province
Tax for three years which was not paid in proper season because we had no
Power during that time to assess & Collect it (paying said arrears in three
years after said tax ought to have been paid besides the proper tax of
those years, in a Time of great scarcity of money. And in building an
house for the public worship of God, with but very little Help from the non-
resident Proprietors & owners of land in the Town) besides the additional
Difficulties & Dangers which many of us suffered by living in a New Town-
ship at the outside of all the Towns in the province, in the Time of the late
War and settling a Gospel Minister in that Time; And by what we have
done & suffered in these Times the Land of Nonresident Proprietors and
owners, which lies in the Town has been greatly increased in Value with very
little if any Cost to them, and we your humble Petitioners cannot but think
that they ought in Reason & Equity to bear part of the charges of what has
increased the Value of their land as well as to enjoy the Benefit. We there-
fore your humble Petitioners humbly and earnestly pray. That your Excel-
lency & your Honours would take our case into your wise & compassionate
Consideration and in Order to making us some Relief under our heavy
Burden if you think proper would pass an act to lay a tax of one Copper
(or one half penny sterhng) per acre or so much as you shall think proper
upon all the uncultivated Land in this town belonging to nonresident pro-
prietors & Owners for the space of five years or as long as you shall think
proper, Except what land in the Town is Owned by the Masonian Proprietors
and so long as it is owned by them ; the appropriated Right for the Ministry
and school and what is owned by the minister of the Town.
" And if your Excellency and your Honours shall be pleased to Grant

our Petition in laying a Tax upon the Land aforesaid, We Humbly pray also
that you would make Effectual Provission for us to assess said tax upon &
collect it from said non-resident Proprietors & Owners of Land in said town
of Hopkinton. For which Goodness your humble Petitioners for your Ex-
cellency & your Honours as in Duty bound shall Ever pray.

James Jewett settled in Exeter, N. H., in 1758, and afterwards in

He again removed, with his two nephews, to Enfield, N. H., and joined the

of the Church in 1795. He died July 17, 1804-5.
Extracts from addresses made at the exercises commemorating the
" Hundredth Anniversary of the Shaker Church of Enfield" held Oct. 18,
1893. Address by Abraham Perkins. " Zadok Wright, in Sept. ,
1782, with the Brethren from New Lebanon, journeyed from Hartland to
Enfield, N. H., when, meeting James Jewett, Sen., who was at work on a
bridge at North Enfield, they were invited to his house, situated on Shaker
Sixth Generation 145
Hill, so called since that time. Here they tarried some days, and to his
family and their neighbors they preached the testimony of the cross of
Christ, a separation from the spirit of the world. It appears that James
Jewett and many others were in labor, seeking for something more sound,
substantial and protective, than was to be found in the orthodox churches
and religious bodies known to them, and were prepared to listen to the new
doctorine advanced by the brethren, which met the understanding of many
and was embraced as I have been told, by as many as two hundred men,
women and children in those early days, many of whom proved faithful
through life. James Jewett, Sen,, was the first man in New Hampshire
who confessed his sins ; his family united with him, all of whom, I believe,
with one exception, honored their gospel call and were faithful to the end,
having become to the Church efficient members."
Address by Elder H. C. Blinn : " The wicked lookers-on of that day
called these zealous souls by many nick-names, among which were the " New
Lights," " Come Outers " and " Merry Dancers." Stories were circulated
of the queer things that were done by the Shakers. Some of these were black
stories and some were shaded to suit the company that listened. Sometimes
they were more mirthful than malicious."
" The Shakers now held their hour of worship at the residence of James
Jewett. Here the faithful and unfaithful congregated and for eleven
years the old " Shaker Hill " resounded with more singing and shouting and
shaking than has ever been heard, since that date, throughout the whole town
of Enfield. In those meetings, the voice of God was the voice of the people.
It was quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword.
To attend this meeting men and women would travel for miles. In sum-
mer it was on foot or on horseback, and in winter it was sometimes on an
ox sled.
" James Jewett had a singular visitor from the State of Maine. He
was a ' New Light Baptist,' and on his way to Vermont in search of a new
home. He called on his New Light brother Jewett, and received faith.
This man says he was suddenly taken from his chair by some unknown power
and spun like a top. He whirled out of the house, down to the shore of the
Mascoma Lake, and then back to the same place again. This confirmed him
in his faith and he became a zealous preacher of the gospel. It was an odd
way to ordain a minister, and yet no more singular than it was to strike a
man with blindness and throw him to the ground, in order to convert him.
" James Jewett became a zealous advocate of the new religion and
opened his house to all who embraced the faith, and to this day his name
rests upon the memory without a tarnish, and the Society in Enfield speak of
him with deep affection. To him the scripture promise was a sure inheri-
tance. ' Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.'
" With the father, James Jewett, came the mother and several sons and
daughters, all of whom consecrated their lives to God and for the good of
his people."

518 JOSEPH JEWETT ( James''% Jonathan'% Joseph", Maximilian%
Edward^) was born in Newburyport, Mass., , 1749. He settled in
Scarborough, Me., and married there, in 1779, Ruth McLaughlin of that
place. She was of Scotch-Irish descent and rendered her husband most
effective assistance. She died May 7, 1848, aged 91 years, 9 months, and
7 days.
Mr. Jewett removed from Scarborough to Portland, Me., and became
a merchant of that place. In 1773 he bought a lot and house, then unfin-
ished, of John Greewood for 500 pounds, old tenor, equivalent to 136 silver
dollars. This was a " tavern house " on the south corner of Middle and
Silver streets, a three-story wooden structure with brick ends. He finished
the house and moved into it in November, 1786, where he kept a store in the
lower eastern room and did a large business.
He and his brother James were two of the incorporators of the Second
Parish Church Society of Portland, Me., March 17, 1788. He died July
15, 1796.
Children:
1221 James, born in Scarborough, Me., Sunday, Nov. 28, 1779. He
graduated from Harvard College in 1800 and commenced the
practice of- law in Portland, but left it in a few years for an
appointment in the Custom House. He died in Portland in 1824,
unm.
1222 William, born in Scarborough, Me., Saturday, Oct. 13, 1781.
" In 1809 William Jewett, with his uncle, James Jewett, em-
ployed Moulton of Portland, who had a shipyard where the Gait
Block now is, to build them a fast brig to run the English
blockade at Guadaloupe, but the Island had surrendered before
she arrived there. She was of 190 tons burthen ; John Curtis,
Master and William Cammett first mate, and was called the
Rapid. William Jewett, one of the owners, was a passenger on
the vessel and was determined to make a good voyage at all haz-
ards notwithstanding he had been disappointed in obtaining a
cargo of coffee. He decided to purchase a cargo of cotton
at Charlestown, S. C, and to seek a market in Europe. On
arrival at Falmouth England he learned that cotton was wanted
in Memel in Prussia at a dollar a pound. The brig joined a
convoy of 700 sail of merchantmen at Gottenburg, all bound
up the Baltic under a British convoy of several frigates and
two line-of-battle ships, one of which was the Victory, Nel-
son's flag-ship on whose deck he lost his life at the Battle of
Trafalgar in 1805. On the arrival of the Rapid at Memel in
November she was seized by Bonapartist officials, as the City had
a few days before surrendered to him and a guard of 16 French
soldiers were put on board. After several days trial on shore by
Mr. Jewett and the Captain to have the brig released, Mr. Jewett
Sixth Generation I55
came on board without the Captain and was much affected at the
loss of his vessel and cargo, which was confiscated as the vessel
was from a British port and under a British convoy. Mr. Jew-
ett's state of mind excited Mr. Cammett's sympathy and he pro-
posed to him that with his permission he would retake the brig
and run her out by the forts, to which Mr. Jewett gladly as-
sented and the crew as gladly promised their assistance as they
would lose their wages if the vessel remained a prize to the
French. That day a crew of pilots came aboard to take the
brig up to the town to avoid the ice. The cook could speak
French and was of great assistance in the project. The Pilots
attempted to weigh anchor but found it foul of some obstruc-
tion, when Mr. Cammett proposed through the cook to set some
of the lower sails which would assist them in clearing the anchor,
to which they agreed. The time to act now arrived. The wind
was favorable and the sails were set except the jib. When the
vessel headed right Mr. Cammett told the men to hoist the jib,
which the Frenchmen tried to prevent, suspecting the intentions
and ordered the soldiers to fire on the crew but the guns would
not go off, as the faithful cook, by Mr. Cammett's orders, had
removed the flints, Mr. Cammett seized an axe from its hiding
place and at one blow cut the hemp cable to the windlass and
held the axe for future use, if necessary. The soldiers and
pilots went over the side into their boats and with a swift breeze
the Rapid run by the forts under fire but without receiveing a shot
aboard. The Rapid arrived and wintered at Rega in Russia
where her cargo was sold for a large price and she sailed for
Boston via London, making the passage from London to Boston
in the unprecedented time of 15 days.
" Early in the summer of 1812 the owners of the Rapid put
in a heavy battery of 15 guns and 100 men and dispatched her
as a privateer and after a varied career was captured by the
British and fitted out as a brig-of-war and entered on the list of
the English Navy as the Nova Scotia." (Portland Centennial

acres of land " as near the middle of the town as it can be got." This
offer was declined. He afterwards accepted a call from Gorham, Me., and
was ordained there Nov. 5, 1783, and was the third Congregational min-

his profession which soon extended beyond Barnstead into Acton, Barring-
ton and other towns. His mode of conveyance was on horse back carrying
medicines in saddlebags. For a quarter of a century he was the only physi-
cian in Barnstead. He received his education in the common schools and
at Dummer Academy in Newbury and had studied medicine with Drs. Torrey
and Spofford, of Rowley. Like many other physicians he was fond of mak-
ing long visits, never in a hurry, delighted in conversation, slack in his
habits and little or no determination to accumulate property. In stature
he was 5 ft. 10 inches, thick-set, dark complexion, his hair tinged with
gray, was quick in his gait and in his manner of speaking. He had served
a few months in the Army of the Revolution under Gen. Washington, and
at one time was a guard over the prisoners then quartered at Cambridge.
His house at Barnstead was quite central ; the Selectmen often held their
meetings in it, and from this circumstance he was approbated a taverner.
Consequently he had a large swing-sign, painted blue; on this was the pic-
ture of a dolphin with a spear aimed at it and under it were the words
" Catch a dolphin." On the other side was the picture of an anchor and
under it were the words ' Cast Anchor.' He was surgeon of the 10th Regt.,
for many years and on parade days he wore a cockade and was equipped
with a sword. He died in Barnstead April 22, 1836.

" Deacon Noah Jewett was one of the founders of Cornish, Maine,
and was chosen deacon of the first church organization ; carpenter by trade
and in the year 1800 built the first Cornish Meeting house from a plan made
by Dr. Cyrus Snell. Deacon Jewett was a genuine Puritan, possessing the
strong religious zeal characteristic of his time. He was fully conscious of
the importance of his sacred office and claimed a share of that deference
supposed to be due to the dignitaries of the period. He had not only the
failings, but the virtues of the Puritan believer; in person, said to be small,
of swarthy complexion and led forward by an enormous nose, a facial
appendage that has been duplicated by some of his descendants who are
supposed to be proud of this inheritance from the anatomy of this pro-
genitor." (Saco Valley Settlements.)

Eleazer Jewett is described in Miss Calkin's History of Norwich, Conn.,
as " king the founder of the thriving and beautiful village of Jewett City,
a man of sterling worth, marked business tact and as enterprising as he was
honest. Beginning with only a small farm and a mill seat on Patchaug
River, he hved to see a flourishing village spread round him enriched with
Sixth Generation 169
mills, stores, mechanical operations and farms in an improved state of
tillage, to which the public gave the familiar name of Jewett City. He
had first a grist mill, then a saw mill and sold out portions of his land to
induce others to settle near him.
" About the year 1790 he was joined by John Wilson, a clothier, from
Massachusetts, who married his daughter, whom he encouraged to set up a
woolen mill. We learn from Wilson's advertisement that he was ready at
his mill to accommodate the pubHc in December 1793.
" Eleazer Jewett was not a man of finished education, but active, per-
severing, and of a genial, kindly temperament, happy in doing good, and
opening paths of enterprise for the benefit of others, without laboring to
enrich himself."
In the village graveyard a plain slab marks the burial-place of this
founder, bearing the following inscription :

that in the midst of the fight, it was announced that the cartridges had
given out, whereupon Lieut. Jewett seized a camp kettle, and filling it with
powder, dealt it out in a dipper with his own hands to the soldiers. At the
close of the action he found an unfortunate officer of the enemy, Avounded
and expiring on the field; he gently placed him against a tree, but his cap,
belt and sword, no longer useful to him, he bore away. He afterwards
learned that the unfortunate officer was the Hessian Col. Baum, the com-
mander of the expedition. Mrs. Eunice (Slafter) Jewett was a woman of
superior intellect, a Christian in word and deed, of fine manners and of re-
markable strength of character." (Slafter Memorial.)

" Hist, of Ashburnham, Mass." — Stearns. — " Col. Jewett through a
long and active life was a controlling spirit in this town. After serving in
the Revolution he removed to Ashburnham in 1783. He was a merchant
and farmer, and for many years the leading business man of the place,
but in other employments he was even more intimately identified with the
town history. In this connection his record as a citizen, and the sterling
qualities of his character demand more than a passing notice. At the age
of 22 years he entered upon the scene of his future activity and immedi-
ately the town recognized the qualities of the man. The proof of his popu-
larity and the measure of the confidence reposed in him are witnessed by
the records. He was a member of the board of Selectmen fifteen years, an
assessor fifteen years, town clerk eighteen years and ten times chosen to
preside over the annual March meeting.
" In the midst of these accumulating honors and responsibilities he
was a member of the Legislature seven years and was frequently chosen to
serve on committees and render other service to the town. In military
affairs he evinced a lively interest. He commanded a company in this town
as early as 1789 and was commissioned a Captain of the independent com-
pany in this town July 12, 1791, and the following year was promoted to
Major. He was Lieutenant Colonal in 1795 and Colonel of the Regiment
in 1796. For many years he was a Justice of the Peace."

"Joseph Jewett, Private, Capt. John Drury's co., Col. Ezra Wood's regt;

he served until his death, which occurred while a prisoner after the battle
of Flatbush, Long Island. 'There are two accounts of his death. Deacon
N. Richards, one of his non-commissioned officers, speaks of him as follows:
" Captain Joseph Jewett of Huntington's Regiment, an officer much re-
spected and beloved, of elegant and commanding appearance and unques-
tionable bravery, was murdered in cold blood, having surrendered his sword
when demanded, the British officer, on receiving it, instantly plunged it
through his body" (Vermont Chronicles). The other version of his death
is a statement of Lieutenant Jabez Fitch, who was in Captain Jewett's Com-
pany and was taken prisoner at the same time. He says that the Captain
was three times wounded by bayonet stabs " after he had surrendered," but
makes no mention of his having been run through by a British officer with
his own sword after he had given it up. The original statement of Lieu-
tenant Fitch is now in the possession of C. J. Bushnell of New York " (A
Memoir of the Long Island Historical Society 1878).

He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1801 ; studied for the ministry
with Rev. Dr. Emmons, of Franklin, and Rev. Dr. Spring, of Newburyport,
Mass ; was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church at Rockport, Mass.,
Oct. 30, 1805, and continued in the pastorate of that Church for 31 years,
when he resigned on account of impaired health.
" Mr. Jewett's views of religious truths were those entertained by most
of the New England churches of his time. He found a church of ten mem-
bers which he increased to two hundred and fifty. He found his people, if
not in a low state of morals, yet rapidly tending thitherward, and he arrested
this downward progress, and improved and elevated them to such a degree
that the success of his labors was often the theme of remarks in places beyond
the sphere of his work. He was compelled to resign by ill health in
1836, and died at the home of his son-in-law, in Waltham, July 14, 1841. By
desire of the people of his parish, his remains were brought to Rockport, July
— , 1856, and interred in the Parish Burying-ground, where a handsome
granite monument marks the place of their repose. The occasion was one
of deep interest. On the 13th of that month. Rev. Wm. R. Jewett, his son,
preached a sermon at the meetinghouse, and then made an address at the grave
which was responded to on behalf of the people by Dr. Benjamin Haskell."
(" Hist, of Gloucester, Mass.")
Allen, in his " American Biographies," says of him : " He was a man of

He married Oct. 12, 1800, Rebecca Green, daughter of Samuel and Rebecca

to the farm upon the east side of the highway, and about one-half mile
north of the centre of the town, which is still known as the Dr. Thomas
Jewett place, where he passed the remainder of his years.
" As a physician Dr. Jewett was eminently successful, and arrived at
considerable eminence in his profession. In the treatment of a malignant
fever, which prevailed with startling fatality throughout a large portion
of New England in 1811 and 1812, and which was generally called ' spotted
fever,' his success was exceeded by few, if any, physicians in this vicinity.
" Dr. Jewett was exceedingly fond of his farm, and during the later
years of his life, he retired from the practice of his profession, and directed
his attention to agricultural pursuits.
" As a citizen he was held in high esteem. Possessing a sound judgment,
a clear and discriminating mind, his opinion Invariably commanded respect.
In religious opinions, for many years, he was unsettled, and at times skepti-
cal, but subsequently acknowledged a change In his views, and united with
the Congregational Church, of which he continued a constant member until
his death. The tract written by Dr. Burnham, 'The Infidel Reclaimed,'

" Of Mr. Jewett, his contemporaries report that his word was ' like
apples of gold on pictures of silver.' In confirmation thej relate the follow-
ing anecdote: He once bargained with Jason Parker to furnish him the
ensuing winter, one hundred tons of hay at five dollars per ton. The winter
set in early and proved an unusually bleak and cheerless one. Hay was in
great demand, and had largely risen in value. Without a murmur Mr.
Jewett faithfully executed his contract; and as he urged his laboring cattle
over the bare and rough corduroy which formed the only road between
him and his purchaser he was often accosted to know the price of his hay —
' sold ' was his response.
" His farm was divided into city lots and is nearly covered with fine
residences. The Utica Orphan Asylum is on three acres of the land " (Pio-

From " Hist, of Bethel, Maine," Lapham : " There was an itin-
erant Baptist minister by the name of Mighill Jewett, who fre-
quently came to this town and preached in the lower parish. He
supported himself by such contributions as were made him from
time to time. On one occasion, a text was given him to preach
from by Deacon Phineas Frost, and the church was crowded, for
he was considered an able preacher. But to the surprise of every
one and to the disgust of many, he preached a strong Universalist
sermon ; admitting that before that time he had been in error, and
that the study of the text given him, with the context, had caused
him to change his views entirely. He was never settled, but
preached as an itinerant; had good talents and gifts, but broke
down mentally and passed away."

" Captain Jewett was a man of sterling qualities of head and heart.
A keenly active intelligence, uncompromising integrity and a genial manner
combined to win for him the esteem and friendship of all who knew him.
With an eminently practical turn of mind for scientific and general reading,
he thus accumulated a fund of information, especially in the departments
of natural history and the physical sciences, which, among his associates,
made him an authority in these subjects. Possessed of a high sense of the
importance of moral worth he spared no pains to inculcate in his children
the highest ideals of manhood and good citizenship. They will ever revere
his memory for the rich heritage they owe to his example and precept."

1225 MAJOR GENERAL JOSEPH SCOTT JEWETT (Joseph^'%
James^**, Jonathan®^, Joseph^^, Maximihan^, Edward^), was born in Port-
land, Me., Wednesday, June 11, 1788. He married Mary P. de Mar, daugh-
258 Jewett Genealogy
ter of Robert Plaisted de Mar of Scarboro, Me. She died Aug. 26, 1863,
aged 66 years. Gen. Jewett graduated from Bowdoin College in 1810 and
settled on a farm in Scarboro, Me. He soon became prominent in public
affairs and was a member of the Senate of Massachusetts before 1820, when
Maine was still a part of that state ; was in command of the Military re-
view of Maine in 1839, and about this time or soon after removed to Port-
land, Me., where he died Oct. 5, 1870.
A local newspaper of Portland gives the following description of the
Jewett house: "Among Portland's old houses few contain so many an-
tiquities as the Jewett mansion on Pleasant street. It was erected in 1849,
and its bay windows are the first ever built in Portland. As one enters the
large front room one sees a plain round mahogany centre table that was a
part of the wedding outfit of the grandmother of the brother and sister
who now occupy the house. It is over 112 years old. In a corner is a
high-backed chair of mahogany, elaborately carved. Its age is not known,
but the late Dr. Carruthers asserted that it was of ancient Scottish manu-
facture ; the Scotch thistle being repeatedly shown in the carving. There is
an ottoman, worked in the Kensington stitch by Miss Sarah Jewett, known
as ' Aunt Sally.' It was exhibited in the first fair of the Maine Charitable
Mechanics' Association, and a silver medal was awarded inscribed with
* Award to Miss S. Jewett for her beautiful worsted work,' and it is indeed
beautiful, the colors being still bright. It was ' Aunt Sally ' who was instru-
mental in collecting the valuable antiquities of the house, and she took great
pride in them. In the hall is a large and handsomely carved chair that was
once the property of Queen Anne of England. It was brought to this
country by an Englishman who settled on a farm in Topsham. Miss Jewett
saw it there and gave the man $5.00 for it. He promised to bring it to
Portland. Months went by and no chair appeared, and her friends had a
good deal of sport over her probable loss of the five dollars. But late in
the fall the farmer appeared with the chair and a bushel of sweet apples
as a panacea for his tardiness. In another room is an eight-legged table
of solid mahogany. There are no nails or glue. The parts are mortised
together. It was once the property of Governor Winthrop and was brought
over by him to Massachusetts in 1630. Miss Jewett's brother, Luther, once
collector of the port here, married the sister of one Winthrop Jones, of
Brewer. He was a direct descendant of Gov. Winthrop, and the table was
obtained from him. It is perfectly preserved and looks as if it would last
for three or four more centuries. One is shown a towel of fine linen that be-
longed to the Empress Josephine. On a handsome and ancient sideboard
are several pieces of old crockery, all of European manufacture, the ap-
pearance betokening great age. There is an oval dish with a segment cut
from one side large enough to fit around the neck. By a string around
the neck the dish is held under the chin and thus the old Dutch burghers
shaved themselves and protected their clothing from the lather.
" The sword and silk sash worn by General Dearborn at the battle of
Seventh Generation 259
Bunker Hill are handsome relics. Indeed, one who knew said of the sash
that nothing in the regalia of the Mason can compare with it in beauty.
A handsome round snufF-box, of some light-colored wood and lined with
tortoise shell, bears the carved inscriptions in French : ' The reverses of the
moment passed away, a long glory is ineffaceable,' ' 25 years of conquest,
1000 successes against one defeat,' and others, indicate that it was made in
France directly after the Battle of Waterloo.
" The coat of arms of the Jewett family hangs in the hall and is prob-
ably the oldest thing in the house. It was brought to this country by
Joseph and Maximilian Jewett, who came from Rowley, England, and settled
Newburyport, Mass., in 1639, calling the place Rowley, the name it has
since retained. The house they built was torn down within the past
five years and was one of the oldest houses in the country."

1242 HON. JEDEDIAH JEWETT (James'", James^'% Jonathan'%

He married there, Sept. 2, 1833, Elizabeth Fox, who was bom in Portland
May 10, 1811, daughter of Charles and Eunice (McLellan) Fox. She died
in Portland from typhoid fever Nov. 27, 1862. He died there from diph-
theria Oct. 10, 1863.
" Mr. Jewett was a man of marked character. Brought up as a mer-
chant, he was ever among the most active, and in that business he continued
in this city for many years. In 1858 he was elected Mayor of the city,
and re-elected in 1859. During his administration of the municipal affairs,
the splendid Government building, which was initiated during the admin-
istration of Mayor Willis, was erected and nearly brought to a completion.
In the erection of the edifice Mayor Jewett exerted all his powers to have
such a building as would be an honor and credit to the city, and though
there was much opposition to the measure he succeeded in carrying out his
plans, and he has left a proud monument to his memory."
" While Mayor of the city it was his constant effort to do everything
in his power for the improvement of our city, and in all such measures
he succeeded. His recommendations for alterations and improvements were
presented to the City Council in so candid and terse a manner that they
were uniformly adopted. He loved the city of his birth, and was ever dis-
posed to do all that he could to beautify and adorn it.
" In 1861 he was appointed, by President Lincoln, Collector of this
port. We but speak the sentiment of the whole community when we say
that in this office he has been exceeded by no previous incumbent for his fi-
delity in the discharge of his duties, and amenities to those having business
transactions at the office. His promptness of action on the occasion of
the seizure of the Revenue Cutter Caleb Cushing, and, also, on several other
occasions since the breaking out of the rebellion, have won for him the com-
mendation of the Secretary of the Treasury."
" But it was not only in an official character that Mr. Jewett dis-
played his interest in his native city. As a member of the Board of Trade,
a Director of the Athenaeum, a member of the Natural History Society,
and in various other institutions with which he was connected, he was prom-
Seventh Generation 261
inent. All the above mentioned Associations will bear witness to his un-
tiring devotion to their interests and to the good of our city. The Park
Street Church, of which he has been a member ever since its formation in
1835, and the Sabbath School connected with it, of which he was Superin-
tendent, wiU feel his loss most severely. He was one of the most active
and efficient members, ever ready to fill any place where he thought he could
do good."
" The loss of such a man is felt by the whole community. His place
is not to be easily filled. With singleness of heart he looked to the greatest
good of the greatest number, and with all his energies devoted himself to it."
" The flags on the Custom House, City Hall, shipping and at the
British Consulate were hoisted at half mast on Saturday as soon as the
death of Mr. Jewett was known."
" At a regular meeting of the Mercantile Library Association, held at
its rooms on Saturday evening, a committee was chosen to prepare resolu-
tions expressive of the feeUngs of the Association concerning the death of
Mr. Jewett, who was one of the founders of the institution and formerly
President. Out of respect to his memory the meeting then adjourned."
" The Board of Trade and members of the Merchants' Exchange hold
a meeting to-day, at 11 o'clock, to adopt such measures as they may deem
proper in relation to the loss they have sustainied."
" At a special meeting of the City Council Saturday evening, the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions were offered by Alderman S. W. Larrabee,
and were unanimously adopted in both Boards:
" Whereas, It has pleased God, in his infinite wisdom, to remove, by
death, our worthy and distinguished fellow citizen, Hon. Jedediah Jewett,
in his mature manhood, and from the weighty cares and responsibilities
that rested upon him — therefore
" Resolved, That in the decease of Mr. Jewett, this city has lost one of
its most useful and devoted citizens, ever alive to its interests, untiring in
his labors to promote and carry forward any enterprise tending to promote
its real prosperity and true advancement; loyal and patriotic in his in-
stincts, warm-hearted and generous in his sympathies, he was always ready
to co-operate with any enterprise, having in view the welfare of humanity.
" Resolved, That we tender to the afflicted family of our deceased fellow-
citizen our warmest sympathies, and commend them to Him, who, in His
infinite compassion, has declared that He will be Father to the fatherless.
Resolved, That in testimony of our respect to the memory of the deceased,
the City Council will attend his obsequies.
Resolved, That the Mayor be requested to furnish the family of the
deceased a copy of these Resolutions and to publish the same in the daily
papers." — From Portland Newspaper.

Sawyer, being a woodworker, made all the coffins used in the town for many

all commodities were teamed over the road, heavy loaded wagons continually
passing his door on their way to or from Boston, many going to Brattleboro,

died in Alexandria, La., Oct. 11, 1834. He married second, Lydia Adams,
sister of his first wife.
" He was a merchant in Ashburnham. In 1827 he removed to Fitch-
burg and was interested in several manufacturing and other enterprises.
IMany of the business ventures were unfortunate. General Jewett was of a
buoyant, ardent temperament, of attractive personal appearance and com-
manding presence. He was affable, kind hearted, and generous. Popularity
was his birthright, and the record of his early life Is attractive and inspirit-
ing. At the age of 34 years he had risen from the ranks of the Ashburnham
Light Infantry to the rank of General of the State Militia. At every step
m this rapid transition he had been an efficient and popular officer. He had
been a successful merchant and had enlarged the business established by his
father; had been employed in town affairs and exercised unusual sway and
command among his fellow men.
" Few men at his age and in a rural community of limited population
306 Jewett Genealogy
have made a more brilliant record. In mental capacity, in fitness to lead
and ability to command among men, and aptitude in the routine transactions
of business he resembled his father in an eminent degree. In boldness of
conception, in power to persuade, and in originality of project he was his
superior; but in ripeness of judgment, in prudence, and caution, he failed at
the threshold of his father's success. Of his later life little is known. He
removed to the South, and there accumulated a handsome property which was
swept away by the fortunes of war during the Rebellion. He died at Mobile,
Ala., April 26, 1871." (" Hist, of Ashburnham, Mass.," by Steams.)

1715 ^lABMlRAL DAVID JEWETT (David H.''% David-'*% Jos-

London, Conn., June 17, 1772. He married, in New York in 1827, Mrs.
Eliza McTiers, daughter of Alderman Augustine H. Lawrence of New York.
Admiral Jewett was a man of uncommon powers of body and mind;
and imbued with the romatic, adventurous disposition of a knight errant.
He read law with Gov. Griswold of Lyme, Conn., and in early life went to
Spain with a relative. The voyage made him infatuated with the sea, and
after his return he studied navigation and received a commission, at the age
of nineteen, in the United States Navy; soon attained the rank of Captain.
In the French War of 1798 he commanded the ship Trumbull of 24 guns
and sent home several prizes. He became disgusted with what he considered
the maltreatment of the Government, and after the reduction of the American
Navy in 1801, he enlisted in the service of the Buenos Ayrean Government
and served until its independence was established. After this he enlisted in
the service of Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, and was the first to raise for
him the flag of independence. He became Admiral Commander-in-chief and
about 1827 was sent to New York by the Emperor to contract for and
oversee the building of two ships of war for the Government of Brazil. He
later returned to Rio Janerio, where he died July , 1842; buried there.
His widow survived him a few months.
When Emperor Dom Pedro II was on his visit to the United States
he said " Admiral Jewett was one of our heroes." Some of his officers said
" They looked upon him as the people of this country looked upon Lafayette."

1748 PROF. CHARLES COFFIN JEWETT, A. M., (PauP",
PauF^*, Joshua"^ Joseph-% Joseph^ Edward^), was bom in Lebanon, Me.,
Aug. 12, 1816. He married, April 5, 1848, Rebecca Green Haskins, who
was born in Brookline, Mass., Sept. 20, 1823, daughter of Ralph and Rebecca
(Green) Haskins of Roxbury, Mass.
" Prof. Jewett was a graduate of Brown University in 1835. His in-
tentions on leaving college was to prepare himself for the Christian ministry,
but having a decided taste for oriental research, he formed comprehensive
plans for extensive travels with a view to the thorough study of Asiatic
literature and religion, but especially those of Palestine. He was unexpect-
edly delayed in the accomplishment of this plan by the misdirection of a let-
ter, and that apparently slight circumstance determined his subsequent course,
and gave complexion to all his after life. While pursuing his theolog-
ical course at Andover, his taste for bibliographical studies pointed him out
as the proper person to arrange the library of the Theological Seminary
in that place. He assisted Mr. O. A. Taylor in preparing a catalogue of the
library. It was of a highly valuable character, and the success of that
effort led to his appointment as the librarian of Brown University. Large
additions to that library were soon made, and Mr. Jewett went to Europe
and was absent two years and a half, not only to select books for the
library, but to study French, German and Italian languages and the biblio-
graphical plans for arranging and cataloguing libraries, which had been
carried to the greatest perfection in France and Germany, where the sub-
ject has long been made a matter of profound scientific investigation. On
his return, he prepared for the press a catalogue of the library of Brown
University which was published in 1843, and it was so original and^ in-
trinsically valuable, that it at once placed him at the head of the bibliog-
raphers of this country. He held the position of the college librarian from
1841 to 1848, and for the most of that period he was also Professor of
Modern Languages and Literature. When the munificent donation of Mr.
Seventh Generation 339
•
James Smithson of England was received in this country, it was at first de-
termined to appropriate it to the creation of a pubhc library at Washington,
which should be worthy of the United States, and Mr. Jewett was appointed
the librarian of that Institution. The regents of the Smithsonian fund,
however, afterwards gave it another direction, but Mr. Jewett had the charge
of the library long enough to establish a correspondence with all the leading
libraries in the United States, and to collect much valuable information upon
the subject. At his instance, a convention of the librarians was called,
from different parts of the country, for the purpose of devising the best
method of accomplishing the difficult task of forming, arranging, and cata-
loguing large public hbraries. Mr. Jewett's release from his duties as li-
brarian of the Smithsonian Institution, in consequence of the change in the
policy pursued, was synchronous with the formation of the public library
of Boston. The large donation of Mr. Bates of London, for the creation
of that library, made it necessary to employ the best bibliographical skill
to select and arrange it for the public use. Mr. Jewett was chosen for that
important post, and he entered with great zeal upon the duties of the office.
Upon the completion of the library building in 1858, he was appointed Sup-
erintendent of that institution by the City Council, on the unanimous recom-
mendation of the trustees. Mr. Jewett prepared and published two large
volumes, containing catalogues of books in both the upper and lower halls
of that library, which will long remain remarkable monuments of his in-
dustry, scholarship, and executive ability. Every one, at all acquainted
with the subject, knows the extreme difficulty of forming a catalogue of a
large library, to which constant additions are being made, and keeping that
catalogue full and complete, without frequently publishing supplements.
Supplements are always inconvenient, they soon become numerous, and thus
the business of finding any particular book becomes more and more com-
plicated and difficult. The best bibliographers in Europe have long since
pronounced it an impossibility to form a catalogue of a large library to which
constant additions are made, and which shall be continuous, and thus super-
sede the necessity of supplements. This problem Mr. Jewett solved, and it
is, perhaps, the greatest triumph in modern bibliography. The possibility
and practicability of making a continuous catalogue, which shall embrace
all additions, arranged in their proper places, have been demonstrated by the
plan which he practically inaugurated in the public library of this city
(Boston), and which has already been adopted by several of the large li-
braries in the United States. . . .
" Mr. Jewett was also a devoted Christian. For several years he was
senior warden of Christ Church in Quincy. His pastor says : * All his
learning, wisdom and strength were devoted to his loved Saviour. He was a
firm believer in the divinity of our Lord, and all the doctrines of grace ; '
and his pastor asks, ' who has forgotten the noble stand he took, almost
unaided, against the attempt to violate the sanctity of the Sabbath, by
opening the public library on the Lord's Day ' . . . Mr. Jewett was
340 Jewett Genealogy
elected a member of this Society in 1855 " (New England Hist, and Gen.
Register. Vol. XXII).
Another writer says : " The Poet Cicero beautifully calls the library,
the soul of the house. Professor Jewett, with a noble ambition, has jealously
striven to pro\'ide such a soul for this great Republic by his intelligent
labors in connection with the Smithsonian Institute at Washington."
He died in Braintree, Mass., Jan. 9, 1868. His widow died in Rox-
bury, Mass., Jan. 3, 1884.

1870 CLARISSA CONANT {l.ucy''% Jacob''% SamueP'\ Francis=%
EzekieP, Maximihan^, Edward^), was born in Hollis, N. H., May 1, 1814.
She married Dec. 17, 1846, Dr. Sylvanus Bunton.
Dr. Bunton was of the so-called Scotch-Irish stock. The emigrant,
Robert Bunton, was one of the original settlers of Allenstown, Merrimack
Co., N. H. In 1746, while he was working with his son on his intervale farm,
bordering on the Merrimac River, they were both taken captive by Indians
and carried to Canada, where they were held for quite a protracted period.
The son, the grandfather of Dr. Bunton, was commissioned as a Captain
early in the Revolutionary War, was at the battle of Bunker Hill in 1775,
and was killed at the battle of White Plains in September, 1776. His son
Andrew married Lavinia Holden, daughter of David Holden, who served as
First Sergeant during the French and Indian War. After his return from
the army, Mr. Holden lived at Townsend, Mass., but at the outbreak of the
Revolution his sympathies were with the Crown, and so strong was the feel-
ing in his neighborhood at that period against the Tories that he was obliged
to leave his home and remove to Hollis, N. H.
Dr. Sylvanus, the son of Andrew Bunton, was born at Allenstown, N. H.,
March 8, 1812. He acquired a common-school education in Goffstown, and,
going to Massachusetts at the age of seventeen, learned the stone-mason's
trade in Quincy, teaching district schools during the winter, before he him-
self had attended any higher school. In the fall of 1833 he went to Pembroke
Academy to fit himself for college, and, entering Dartmouth in 1836, he was
graduated in 1840. Impaired health necessitating a change of climate in
1841, he went to Georgetown, D. C, and was for several years teacher in
Eighth Generation 357
select classical schools at Georgetown, Elkridge Landing, and Queen Anne,
Maryland. While at the latter place he began the study of medicine, attended
lectures at the Washington University, Baltimore. Here he graduated, and,
being elected a resident physician to their hospital, he discharged the duties
of that position for over a year. Returning to New Hampshire, he com-
menced practice in Manchester in 1846, which he continued until the Civil
War, during this time holding many responsible positions of the city. While
living in Manchester, he became connected with the State Militia, and for two
years held a commission as Major and Surgeon of the Ninth Regiment.
Early in the war his patriotism led him to volunteer his services to the na-
tional cause; and being commissioned by Governor Berry as Assistant Sur-
geon of the Second New Hampsliire Infantry, he was identified with that regi-
ment in active service until June, 1864. When the Second was mustered out,
he was immediately appointed Surgeon of the Seventh New Hampshire Regi-
ment; and after serving nearly fourteen months, he was mustered out with
the regiment, July 25, 1865. He practiced his profession in Hollis, N. H.,
for two years, then removing to Mt. Vernon, N. H., there continued in active
practice until failing health and disability occasioned by his army service
compelled him to retire. His wife died July 3, 1873. Through her father's
family she was a descendant of the immigrant, Roger Conant, who was bap-
tized in the parish church of East Budleigh, Devonshire, England, April 9,
1592, youngest of eight children of Richard and Agnes (Clarke) Conant.
He was married in London in November, 1618, and came to America in 1623,
in company with John Oldham, at his own expense. He did not long remain
at Plymouth, owing to the difference of religious belief between himself and
the Pilgrim fathers, who were Separatists, while he was a member of and
adherent to the Church of England. He joined Oldham and his colony at
Nantasket, and lived on Governor's Island in Boston Harbor, which was for
some time known as Conant's Island. During the following winter he was
chosen by the Dorchester Company to govern their affairs at Cape Ann, and
he proved himself a prudent ruler and skillful peacemaker. The settlers re-
moved to Naumkeag, near Salem, in the fall of 1626. Mr. Conant was Gov-
ernor of the colony for about three years. " Although he is not universally
recognized as the first Governor of Massachusetts, he is fairly entitled to that
honor, for the colony of which he was the head made the first permanent set-
tlement in the Massachusetts Bay territory " (Hist, and Gen. of Conant
Family). His character was distinguished by strict integrity, great moral
courage, and an indomitable will; and he was, as well, tolerant and concilia-
tory, and preferred the public good to his own private interests. He died at
Beverly, Mass., in 1679.
Dr. Bunton married (2d) Dec. 17, 1874, Sarah Jane Trevitt of Mt.
Vernon, who died Dec. 16, 1899. He died Aug. 13, 1884. He was a man
of sincere religious convictions and unquestioned integrity, and of humane
and benevolent disposition ; these qualities being peculiarly marked in his
conscientious discharge of duty during his army service.

1972 COLONEL EZEKIEL JEWETT (Stephen*", Ezekiel^'^S Eze-

N. H., Oct. 16, 1791. He married June 10, 1819, Elizabeth Amold, daugh-
ter of Capt. William Arnold of Westmoreland, N. H. She died in Utica,
N. Y., Nov. 2, 1863.
" Col. Jewett fitted for college in the schools of Rindge and JafFrey,
N. H., and upon being encouraged to pursue a collegiate course of study on
condition that he follow the profession of his father, he promptly chose to
abandon the plan altogether, rather than be placed under such restrictions.
It was apparently outside his plan for life to settle down in the quiet routine
of professional labor. The War of 1812 soon presented an opportunity for
the exercise of his ambition and youthful energies. Having been an officer
in the Militia, in which he participated with enthusiasm, in the spring of 1812
he was appointed ensign in the Eleventh Infantry, then commanded by Col.
Isaac Clark, but consolidated the following year with the Twenty-first Regi-
ment, under the more efficient command of Col. Smith, and, soon after, of
Col. Ripley. After an engagement of a few weeks in the recruiting service,
he joined his regiment in July, and continued in active service until the close
of the war, without absence from any cause of a single day. Sharing the
Eighth Generation 367
fortunes of his regiment, he was early inured to the hardships of a most
severe service, which characterized the campaign that ensued. In 1814!
he was in Scott's Brigade, and participated in the battles of Chippewa and
Lundy's Lane, and in the siege of Fort Erie.
" At the close of the war, the love of adventure invited him to new
fields of exploit and danger. Espousing the cause of General Carera, the
Chilian leader of a revolt against the oppressive dominion of Spain, he ac-
companied him to South America, and, after a long and tedious voyage,
landed at Buenos Ayres, where he served two months as Major of the ' Direc-
tor's Guard ' ; and subsequently, with only three companions, he crossed the
country to Chili, over the rudest highway, which had been built by the Abo-
rigines previous to the advent of the Spanish. The first nine hundred miles,
with relays of horses, was performed in eleven and one-half days ; but this
celerity was equalled by the slow and perilous journey across the Andes.
One who has heard the thrilling story of that exploit from the lips of the
gallant and intrepid adventurer, has kindly written an account of the daring
feat." When arrived at Mendoza, he was told that to cross the mountains
at that season would be impossible ; but he was determined at least to make
an attempt. Starting upon mules, they slowly proceeded within four miles
of the summit, when there came a snow-storm, which continued four days.
They were sheltered, during that time, in an ancient stone building, erected
by the Indians many years before for that purpose. Snow fell to a depth
of four feet, and they were obliged to continue their journey on foot. In
the afternoon they reached the base of the summit, or within a half mile of
the height of the elevation which was thirteen thousand feet above the level
of the sea. About sunset they fortunately reached another building, but the
intense cold compelled them to continue exercise within the house, to keep
from freezing. The following day, their descent by sliding and tumbling
through the snow was rapidly performed. About noon they arrived at a
place where cattle were driven for pasture, and there obtained provisions
and mules for the remainder of the journey. After an experience of many
vicissitudes, occupying eleven days, a few hours past midnight they reached
a village at the foot of the mountains, as much to the surprise of the inhabi-
tants as if they had fallen from the sky. The most dangerous point was at
the rincon or comer, where the road was cut into a mountain of conglomerate,
four hundred feet above, and nearly perpendicular to the river. The action
of the frost had filled the roadway, until it was in its worst state. His men
being devout Catholics, slid off their mules, and repeated their prayers;
again mounting, they passed over in safety. He followed, but with feelings
more intense than those experienced on many fields of battle. Giving loose
rein to his mule, he turned his face toward the mountain. The animal slowly
proceeded, trembling at every cautious step, like a leaf in the wind. The
passage occupied perhaps ten minutes, but it seemed an hour; and he has
frequently said he was truly grateful when he was safely over. Arriving in
Chili, Col. Jewett served with distinction in the Cavalry until the successful
368 Jewett Genealogy
close of the war, when he sailed, by way of Cape Horn, for Rio Janeiro,
where he remained two months, but not in idleness. He soon procured guides,
and started for the diamond mines in the interior. Proceeding about three
hundred miles, his chief man, or guide, fell over a precipice, and was instantly
killed, which compelled him to abandon the enterprise, but he still vividly
remembers the beautiful and grand scenery of that tropical country.
" In 1818 Col. Jewett returned to Rindge, and, soon after, married
Elizabeth Arnold of Westmoreland, N. H., a lady of many attractions and
unusual loveliness of character, who was his cheerful companion in the jour-
ney of life for forty-four years, remaining ever constant in her sympathies,
and an unfailing helper in the noble pursuits which have characterized his
life of scientific labor and usefulness. Col. Jewett remained in Rindge, resid-
ing upon the farm of his father's until 1823, when he removed to Sackett's
Harbor, N. Y., and three years later to Fort Niagara, of which he remained
in charge during seventeen years. While at this place he devoted much
time to the study of the natural sciences — a field of investigation and research
in which he has won great renown. In 1843 he removed to Lockport, N. Y.,
and devoted his undivided time to the study of geology, traveling meanwhile
in nearly every State in the Union, in tours of collection and investigation.
After a residence of four years in Utica, N. Y., he was appointed in 1856
to the sole charge of the Department of Natural History, at Albany, N. Y.,
a position which he filled with great credit to himself and incalculable benefit
to science, for nearly ten years. Soon after the death of his wife, a loss
wliich so changed his asperations that he no longer desired to remain where
her companionship had given zest to his favorite pursuits, he found a home
in the family of his daughter at Utica, N. Y. Here he became interested in
a collection of shells in the possession of his daughter, who is an intelligent
and proficient student of the science of conchology. With him, the purpose
once formed, the deed was certain of accomplishment. He at once made two
journeys to the Pacific, and spent four winters upon the Gulf of Mexico,
collecting an incredible number and variety of shells, which were a most valu-
able acquisition to the science of conchology. By numerous exchanges with
students in this and other countries, he has now a collection of 12,000 spe-
cies, named, and many others known to the savants of the science. During
these many years of scientific exploration and study, he has enjoyed a
friendly correspondence and acquaintance with Agassiz, DeVemuell, and
other distinguished scientists.
" Col. Jewett is tall, and of a commanding personal appearance. His
features are regular and attractive, and his manner dignified and courteous.
The daring adventures of his youth attest his courage, as his varied attain-
ments assert his ability. Unbent with years and unwearied with prolonged
study and labor, he still pursues his favorite pursuits with all the zeal of
youth. His enthusiasm and activity, his well-preserved physical and men-
tal powers, are remarkable, which he ascribes to his outdoor life and busy
interest in studies, so free from the excitement and corroding care Insep-
Eighth Generation 369
arable from professional and business careers." (Hist, of Rindge, N. H. —

" Franklin " — the most highly finished original production of his pen ; a
model of thought and style, and worthy of high rank as a classic in American
literature.
Mr. Jewett was a man of uncommon ability and acquirements ; an
earnest seeker after truth, and a sincere lover of it for its own sake. To a
subtle and powerful intellect was united a forcible and elegant diction.
In forming his style as a writer of pure and correct English, he bestowed
great care and attained a high standard.
His health, always delicate, failed very perceptibly In the latter years
of his life, and after his retirement from the editorial duties of the Messenger
he undertook no literary labor outside of his ordinary occupation. On the
morning of June 11, 1873, after a short illness and with comparatively little
suffering, he passed peacefully away to the higher life. The funeral ser-
vices took place at the New Church, in Thirty-fifth Street. The remains
were Interred at Woodlawn Cemetery.

tion of President Jackson. The following is an extract from a letter written
by him to his family describing that event : " The morning of that day,
Honorable Daniel Tarbox Jewett

big with the fate and honor of a country, was ushered in by the roaring
of cannon, which made the building shake, the hills resound, and hearts
quake with fear, and forcibly reminded a person who was to be made Presi-
dent. At an early hour the crowd began to collect, composed of all sorts,
sizes, colors, ages, sexes, occupations, and grades, such a motley crew has
never been together, I know, since the building of the Tower of Babel. Be-
tween ten and eleven, the procession was formed and the old General pro-
ceeded from his boarding house on foot to the Capitol, the distance being
about a quarter of a mile. When he arrived, he took his seat in the Senate
Chamber, with the Supreme Judges on his right, and the Foreign ministers
on his left. He remained there for nearly an hour, during which time the
new Senators and Vice-President Calhoun, took their oaths of office. In the
meantime the multitude collected in and around the Capitol, to the number
of about ten thousand, according to the several calculations. The inaugura-
tion took place at twelve in the east portico of the Capitol. The members
of Congress, Foreign Ministers, etc., and all the ladies that could, assembled
in the portico, the remainder of the crowd, on the ground in front. When
the old General came out with the Vice President of his left, and Judge
Marshall on his right, he was hailed with three cheers from the crowd, and
saluted by two Companies of Artillery stationed at a little distance, and a
band struck up " Yankee Doodle ". He then mounted a horse and rode
to the President's house (which had been vacated a few days before by Mrs.
Adams) and there received all who came. He and Mr. Adams, though for-
merly friends, have not met since he came here and probably will not. It
is said to be owing to the influence of Jackson's friends. It is a vile violation
of all courtesy. The General's health is poor, and he looks pale and feeble.
His shape is what Mrs. Royal would call, long, lean, lank, and lantern
jawed, and that is all I have to say about him.
" Many of the members of Congress are the most debauched scoundrels
in the country. I am very glad Mr. Sprague is chosen senator for he is a
man who is much respected here by both parties, although he is considered
a firm Adams' man. The city is full of strangers of all sorts, from the man
of pleasure, who comes to see the show, to the fawning cycophant, who
modestly expects the reward of his labors from the new Administration.
Among the number there are said to be upwards of twenty editors. They
all waited upon the old Gen'l. the other day en masse. I believe the ap-
pointments of the new Cabinet have given universal surprise. Eaton, Branch
and Ingham, were very unexpected. Even DufF Green himself has not
ventured a word in their praise, and you may well suppose by that, there
is not much ground for it. Speaker Stevenson, I understand, has expressed
his decided disapprobation, and the Richmond Inquirer has sniffed up its
nose and looked sulky. There has been considerable said about Eaton's
wife, but I can not say how true it is. It is a fact, however, that she is a
woman of very little education, and of uncouth manners, and some of the
first ladies in the city will not visit her and it has created a disturbance. I

believe our leading characters are becoming, many of them, as bad as those
in Europe."
Mr. Jewett, though many times in Washington, and at one time senator,
never witnessed another inauguration, until he attended McKinley's, sixty-
eight years later. At that time he went to the inauguration ball, where he
walked about for three hours, " getting a little tired " he wrote, " but was
all right in the morning."
From the Bangor (Maine) Commercial: " The death on Sunday of
Daniel Tarbox Jewett, Esq., at his home in St. Louis ended a very notable
life and removed from the sphere of the world's activities the oldest member
of the Penobscot county bar. Mr. Jewett, who was 99 years of age, prac-
ticed his profession in this city 15 years ago and is remembered by Albert
W. Paine, Esq., the Nestor of Maine's lawyers."
The Commercial has the following sketch of his life, as related by him-
self:
" I was born September 14, 1807, in the town of Pittston, Me., about
two miles from the Kennebec river. About 1790 my father bought 100
acres of land in Pittston, covered with a growth of beech, birch and maple
trees, and ' cleared up ' about eight acres of it and put into grass and
pasture and tillage land before my recollection. The same farm has been
owned by the family ever since, and is now owned by a grandson. He also
owned what is called, in Maine, ' pine timber land ', and in the winters he cut
and hauled pine logs to a sawmill which he owned, and sawed them in the
spring, and shipped the boards to Boston for sale. The neighborhood was a
prosperous farming community and we had a ' town school ' of 40 or 50
scholars for about three months in the winter. I worked on a farm in the
summer, as soon as I was old enough, and took care of the cattle and sheep
in the winter and went to the schools in the winter and also in the summer,
until too large for the mistress to teach.
" When I was 17 years and about six months old my father allowed me
to quit the farm and to commence the study of Latin and Greek, to fit me
for college. My next older brother was then in college — he was five years
older than I. I entered Waterville College, in Maine (now called Colby
University) in September, 1826.
" I remained there two years. It was a ' Baptist college ', and in 1828
the head professor was chosen president of the Columbia College in Wash-
ington, D. C, and he persuaded me to leave Waterville and go to Washing-
ton to the college over which he was to preside. I did so, and was grad-
uated from that college in 1830.
" General Jackson, by invitation of the college, was on the stage when
my class made our graduation speeches. Sixty-eight years after seeing him
inaugurated, I witnessed the inauguration of William McKinley as President.
I was also present at the ball, but did not dance.
" While in college in Washington, I went by stage to Baltimore to see
the first piece of railroad ever built in this country. This was in 1829.
Eighth Generation 411
The line was 12 miles long from Baltimore to Elicott Mills. We were
hauled by horses, as there were no steam engines then. The rails were flat
strips of iron, laid lengthwise on the timbers. The road is now a part of
the Baltimore & Ohio.
" After I graduated from college in 1830, I went to Virginia, and
taught school for three j^ears, two in a private institution. I studied law
the two years I was teaching the private school, and made them count as two
of the years required by the laws of Maine for admission to the bar.
" In the winter of 1833 I returned to Maine and went to the law school
in Cambridge, Mass. I left there late that year and went to Bangor, ]Me.,
where my elder brother was practicing law. I further pursued my studies
there until April, 1834, when I was admitted to the bar. I practiced law
there until the end of 1850. In December, 1848, I married Miss Sarah
Wilson of Belfast, Me. Her father was an eminent lawyer, originally from
New Hampshire. He had been a member of Congress for one or two terms
while Maine was a part of Massachusetts.
" In November, 1850, my brother, the lawyer, who had crossed the
Isthmus of Panama, in 1845, on his way to Lima, Peru, where he was ap-
pointed by Pres. Polk as a second grade minister, said to me that if I would
go with him he would put a small stern-wheel steamer on the Chagres river
to carry passengers going to California, up the river about 40 miles, and
he thought we could make a good deal of money by it. I agreed to go, and
we shipped the machinery and materials for a boat to Aspinwall, or Colon,
as now called, the point where the Panama Railroad was started to be built,
and also shipped men to put up the boat and run it, cut wood for it, etc.
" We went from New York to Chagres in a steamer that carried
passengers on their way to California, by way of the Chagres river and the
land passage across the Isthmus, By the time we got our boat built and en
the river most of our men had been sick and got frightened at the climate,
and had run away, either home or to California. We had just enough left
to manage the boat, and we hired natives to cut wood and some to work on
the boat.
" My brother was taken sick in three or four months, and I had to send
him home a very sick man, but he got well and lived until he was about 90
years old. I stayed there over two years, coming home once in the mean-
time. By that time the railroad had got so far up the river that our boat
was not profitable, and I took out the machinery and sold the hull for a
lunchhouse on the river.
" We saved ourselves and made something, but not half enough to pay
for the risk of life and property. I then thought I would take a look at
California. That was in the spring of 1853. I remained in San Francisco
for several months examining the Mexican land law, as land titles, at that
time, were very much mixed.
" In the fall a friend of mine there owned a large interest in a ditch
canal, that brings water from a river to the ' gulches ' where is found small
412 Jewett Genealogy
lumps and particles of gold, and he wanted me to buy an interest in it,
and go to the upper part of California, where it was, and take charge of it.
" I did so, and went there and remained about two years, until the fall
of 1855. I then thought the ' gulch ' was about worked out, and as my wife
and children were in Maine, and there was no railroad across the continent,
I came home to Bangor.
" In coming home I took the Vanderbilt line and crossed the Isthmus
at the Nicaragua route, where we took mules for about 25 miles, and then
a steamer across Lake Nicaragua, and then down the river, or outlet of the
lake, to the Carribean sea; thence by steamer to New York. This is the
only place, in my opinion, where a canal can be built to connect the two
oceans. A large lake on high ground would furnish water each way. The
lake is 50 miles wide and 150 miles long, and is on the highest ground.
" As my law business in Bangor was broken up, I concluded to come
West and in 1856, I traveled over a considerable portion of the West, and
concluded to move to St. Louis.
" In the spring of 1857, I came to St. Louis and bought a lot in Stod-
dard Addition and built a house on Morgan street, on the block between
Ewing and Garrison avenues, and moved into it in the fall of 1857, where
I have lived ever since.
" In 1860 I formed a law partnership with the late Britton A. Hall,
which lasted until the spring of 1872, since which time I have been alone in
my law business. In the fall of 1866 I was elected a member of the House
of Representatives in the State Legislature for 1867-1868, serving with
Col. D. Pat Dyer, then quite a young man. In the winter of 1867 we elected
Charles D. Drake, United States senator.
" While I was in the Legislature we sold all the railroads of the State,
except the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad, because they were in a very un-
finished condition, and had not for six years or more paid any interest on
about $30,000,000 of bonds, which the State had in 1852-1853 issued for
their benefit.
" The Republican party, of which I was then a member, in the fall of
1870 was very much divided on the question of the re-election of Gov. Mc-
Clurg, and also upon the matter of striking out of the then constitution of
the State a provision which prohibited from voting those who had been active
in or had been in favor of the Southern side of the Civil War.
" At the Republican convention in November, 1870, of which I was a
member, the contest was very hot, and after a three days controversy a
majority of the convention re-nominated Gov. McClurg, but a large minority
bolted and nominated Gratz Brown. The Democrats made no nominations
that year, but voted for Brown, and he was elected, the Legislature also
being Democratic.
" Pres. Grant, in December, 1870, appointed Senator Charles D. Drake
chief justice of the court of claims in Washington, and a month later Gov.
McClurg appointed me to succeed Judge Drake in the Senate.
Eighth Generation 413
"Gen. Frank P. Blair had joined the Democrat party, and I served
in the Senate until his election. Since then I have never sought office.
" I was too old to enlist in the Civil War, though my sympathies were
with the North. I was a member of what was known as the Home Guards,
which was composed of men too old to enhst, but young enough to fight.
We were under command of Capt. Clark."
Mr. Jewett continued to live in St. Louis up to the time of his death,
which occurred suddenly Oct. 7, 1906, at the remarkable age of 99 years
and a few days. The accompanying photograph was taken but a few months
before his death. His funeral was largely attended, the pall bearers, who
were chosen by Albert Blair, attorney for the Westinghouse Co., in St. Louis,
and a close personal friend of the family, were, Hon. Elmer B. Adams, Judge
of the U. S. Circuit Court of St. Louis; Hon. E. 0. Stanard, Ex-Gov. of
Missouri and ex-Congressman ; Hon. Charles P. Johnson' ex-Lieut. Gov. of

was born in Whitefield, May 15, 1840, and died in Pittston, Oct. IT, 1895.
A lady of most estimable character.
Mr. Jewett received his early education in the town schools of his native
place and hved there until Oct. 15, 1851, when he went West and settled
in Illinois and Iowa, where he remained about two years and a half. May
5, 1853, he, with a party of men, started for California ; he drove a ten ox
team across the plains, and arrived at Placerville Aug. 25th of that year,
where he worked in the mines until May , 1854. He then went to
Nevada, on a trading tour, returning to Cahfornia in October, 1854, and
was again in the mines until April 1858, when he returned to Maine, and
bought a farm on Beech Hill, Pittston, where he now resides.
Mr. Jewett is a man of strong character, honest and upright in all his
dealings, and is highly respected by all who know him. He has often held
public office, and takes an active interest in the affairs of his town. He
was a member of the Board of Selectmen for the years 1880, 1881, 1882-

2450 HON. GORHAM PARSON HALE JEWETT (Samuel H.^
Jonathan^'^ Moses^^^ Jonathan*'^ Joseph", Maximihan^ Edward^), was born
in Pittston, Me., Feb. 26, 1836. He married there, Dec. 30, 1867, Caroline
Augusta Bradstreet, who was born in Pittston, Dec, 30, 1845, daughter of
Charles Edward and Abigail (Smith) Bradstreet.
As a young man Mr. Jewett was a school teacher in his native town a
few years, which, he always said, formed the foundation of his future career,
as it gave him a thorough understanding of human nature in its various
phases. In September, 1861, he went to California, where he was a
prospector for a while ; finally he bought some land on the San Joaquin
river, where he lived several years, and at the same time acted as agent for a
steamboat company, which conducted a line of steamers on that river with
its terminal in San Francisco. He returned to Pittston, in 1866, and
entered the grocery business. His health, which was never robust, failing.
420 Jewett Genealogy
he abandoned this in a few years, and became engaged in general speculation,
so he could pass his time in the open air. For several years he would live in
Maine during the summer months, and in the fall, charter a vessel, load it
with Northern produce, and sail for Florida, where he would dispose of his
cargo, and through the winter use the vessel in the rice trade between the
Florida Keys and Savannah. In the spring he would load the vessel with
Southern produce, which he would dispose of in the Northern markets dur-
ing the summer. Subsequently he engaged in the cattle business, buying
in Maine, and sliipping to the Brighton and Watertown, Mass., markets.
He later formed a partnership with the late Daniel Glidden of Pittston.
They bought a tract of forest land in Pittston, about two miles from the
Kennebec river, where for a number of years they had a large crew of men
employed in cutting and hewing ship-timber which they shipped down the
Kennebec, to the ship-yards of Bath. In 1890, having cut all the timber
on the land, he again entered the grocery business in Randolph, Me., which
business he successfully conducted until his death from neuralgia of the heart.
Mr. Jewett always displayed an active interest in politics, renouncing
liis affiliation with the Republican party and becoming a Democrat about
1860. He was Chairman of the Town Democratic Committee a number of
years; Supervisor of the schools of Pittston three years; Town Treasurer
several terms; member of the Board of Selectmen of Pittston a number of
years, and was elected to the Legislature of Maine in 1887, being the first
Democrat ever elected from his district.
From Biograpliical Sketches of the Members of the House of Repre-
sentatives of Maine, 1887 : " Gorham P. H. Jewett, Pittston, Democrat,
a believer in universal progression, lumberman, married, age 50. Born in
Pittston, educated in the common schools and at Litchfield Institute. Su-
pervisor of schools three years ; Chairman of the Committee for the town of
Pittston to negotiate for the purchase of the Gardiner and Pittston Bridge,
and make it free. Formerly a Republican."
He was a member of the Joint Standing Committee on Labor, and
introduced and had passed several important bills; the most important was
the one creating the new town of West Pittston, over which there was a long
and hard parliamentary struggle. Later in the same session he introduced a
bill changing the name of the town from West Pittston to Randolph, which
was passed, and the place is now known by that name. He was one of the
ardent supporters of the bill which abolished the death penalty in Maine.
On the organization of Randolph (of which Mr. Jewett was called its
father) he was elected Chairman of the first Board of Selectmen, which
position he held a number of terms. He was always foremost in every
enterprise to aid and promote the interest and welfare of Randolph, and was
noted for his strict honesty, charity, and solicitude for the poor and un-
fortunate. He died Nov. 8, 1897. Buried in Maple Grove Cemetery, Ran-
dolph.

and sadness was felt in the community this forenoon when the word was given
out that Mr. G. P. H. Jewett, the well-known Randolph trader, had died
suddenly at his home in that town of heart failure.
"Mr. Jewett went to his store this morning apparently in his usual
health and was shortly taken with the ill turn. He was immediately taken
to his home and medical assistance summoned, but he was beyond relief and
died in a very short time after being first taken. He had suffered consider-
ably from heart trouble, having had several serious attacks, but not for a
long time.
" In September, 1861, he went to Cahfornia, via the Isthmus of Panama,
returning to Pittston, via the Nicaragua route, in 1866, and engaged in
business with Mr. A. C. Clark. This firm dissolved after several years of
successful business. Later Mr. Jewett entered business alone, in which he
has been continuously up to the present time. He has been prominent in
town affairs, holding the position of Chairman of the Board of Selectmen
several terms, a member of the Board of Supervisors, Representative to the
Legislature, and other important positions. He was a just, upright, and
honorable man, and no better eulogy can be pronounced in this sad hour,
than the words spoken this forenoon to the R-J., by a poor, but respectable
citizen of Randolph, who said : ' When you speak of Mr. Jewett, I wish
you would say this, and you can say it honestly, if a word was ever spoken,
that the poor people of Randolph have lost their best friend. No poor
man in a hard place ever went to Gorham Jewett for assistance but what
he got it, whether he was already under obligations to him or not. He
was the poor man's friend, and surely in his death a great calamity has
befallen them. Mr. Jewett was a square man in every sense that the word
implies.'
" These words so earnestly spoken with the tears coursing down his
cheeks, came direct from the heart, and kind reader, the thought came to
the writer at that time, what a grand eulogy. Certainly if when life's fitful
fever is ended, one can leave behind such a record in the community, even
if expressed by the humblest of his acquaintances and couched in the simplest
language, it will stand to his everlasting credit, greater by far than any
earthly tribute, speaks louder than volumes of meaningless praise and a
monument to a pleasant, fragrant memory, stronger and more enduring
than the costliest granite or marble pile."
From the same publication, Nov. 11, 1897: " The remains of Gorham
P. H. Jewett were tenderly placed by his Masonic brethren in the family
lot in Maple Grove Cemetery this afternoon, the funeral taking place at
the home on Windsor street at two o'clock. Rev. E. B. Barber conducted
the services which consisted of reading of the Scriptures, a brief address,
prayer and benediction. The Masonic burial service was performed at
the grave, Senior Warden T. A. Jewett acting as Master, and Charles O.
Turner as Chaplain. All of the stores in Randolph were closed during the
time of the funeral."

Mrs. Jewett died In Randolph, Aug. 11, 1900. Buried in Maple Grove
Cemetery. Her ancestors were among the most distinguished of the early
settlers of America, and to their efforts and wise ruling much of the success
of the Massachusetts Colony was due. Her father, Charles Edward Brad-
street, bom in Pittston, Me., Oct. 15, 1812; married Abigail Smith; died in
Pittston, April 3, 1892 ; son of Joseph Bradstreet, bom in Biddef ord. Me.,
Jan. 21, 1765; married Ruth Moore; died in Pittston, May 14, 1868; son of
Andrew Bradstreet, born in Windham, Conn., March 28, 1722; married
(1st) Mary Hill, who died in 1771; married (2d) Joanna Hill; died in
Gardiner, Me., in 1804; son of John Bradstreet, bora in Topsfield, Mass.,
Jan. 30, 1693 ; married Rebecca Andrews, daughter of John and Sarah (Dick-
inson) Andrews; son of John Bradstreet, born in Andover, Mass., July 22,
1652; married Sarah, daughter of Rev. WilHam Perkins; died in Topsfield,
Mass., Jan. 17, 1717 ; son of Governor Simon Bradstreet, bom in Horbling,
Eng., in 1603; married in England, about 1628, Anna, daughter of Governor
Thomas Dudley; came to America in 1630, in the ship Arbella; Governor
of Massachusetts Colony : died in Salem, Mass., March 27, 1694. His wife
Anna died in Andover, Mass., Sept. 16, 1672. She was a woman of rare
accomplishments, and wrote a volume of poems, probably the earliest in
America, a second edition of which was published in 1678. She was born
in England, in 1612. Her father. Gov. Thomas Dudley, was " one of the
most distinguished of the Puritan settlers of New England, and second
Governor of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay ; was born at Northampton,
in the neighborhood of the residence of the Earl of Northampton, in the
year 1576. He was the only son of Capt. Roger Dudley, who was slain in
battle. Being left an orphan, he was taken into the family of the Earl
of Northampton, where he remained several years. He received the com-
mand of a company for the French service, marched to the field, and was
at the siege of Amiens. On the conclusion of a treaty of peace Capt.
Dudley returned to England and settled in the neighborhood of North-
ampton. Here he married " a gentlewoman whose extraction and estate
were considerable." It was not long after this that Lord Say and Seal,
and other persons of quality, recommended Mr. Dudley to Theophilus, the
fourth Earl of Lincoln, and he became steward of the household and man-
ager of the Earl's affairs. He remained about ten years . . . when he
removed to Boston, in Lincolnshire, where he became a parishioner of the
famous John Cotton, and the associate of those noble spirits who were soon
to lay the foundations of religious freedom in the new world. Nevertheless
the Earl of Lincoln prevailed with him to resume his former employment,
until the storm of persecution upon the nonconformists caused many men
of great worth to transport themselves into New England.
Mr. Dudley was one of the five undertakers of the settlement of the
Massachusetts colony, and came over with the charter in 1630. He was
far advanced in life for such an undertaking, being 54 years of age. Before
the sailing of the fleet, while the Arbella, in which he embarked, was riding
f
Eighth Generation 423
at anchor in the harbor of Cowes, Mr. Dudley was chosen deputy governor
in the place of John Humphrey, who remained behind.
Mr. Dudley was chosen Governor at the meeting of the General Court
in May, 1634. This was the beginning of a new era in the history of the
colony. It was the first Legislature in which the representative principle
was recognized.
The General Court, at this session, also established a military com-
mission, vested with the most unlimited authority. At the head of this
commission Gov. Dudley was placed, having Winthrop, Humphrey, Hayes,
Endicott, Coddington, Pynchon, Nowell, Bellingham, and Bradstreet for
his associates.
The following year Gov. Dudley was superseded by John Hayes, after-
ward Governor of Connecticut. He was chosen assistant in 1635, and
in the following year, when Sir Henry Vane was Governor. For the years
1637, '38 and '39 he was Deputy Governor. In 1640 Mr. Dudley was
again chosen Governor, and was succeeded by Richard Bellingham in 1641.
In 1645 he was again chosen Governor, and he was Deputy Governor from
1646 to 1649. In 1650 he was for the fourth time elected Governor; was
Deputy Governor in the two following years, and assistant in 1653, in
which office he died. He died in Roxbury on the 31st of July, 1653, in the
77th year of his age.
He married his first wife in England. She died Sept. 27, 1643. In
the following year he married Mrs. Catherine Hackbume, widow of Samuel
Hackburne. This lady survived Gov. Dudley, and married Rev. John
Allen of Dedham.
Dugdale produces evidence to show that Edmund Dudley, the privy
counselor of Henry VII, was the son, or grandson, of John Dudley, a car-
penter, and of very humble origin — and not descended from the family of
Sutton, Baron of Dudley, in Staffordshire, as was pretended by the Duke.
It was the marriage of Edmund Dudley with Elizabeth, the daughter and
heiress of Sir Edward Grey, Viscount Lisle, that gave to him his family
distinction, and his talents gave him his influence and power. He was
born in 1462, became a lawyer and privy counselor to Henry VII, and
speaker of the House of Commons in 1505. He retained the favor of this
monarch, who bestowed upon him great wealth. Henry VIII inherited his
father's treasurer, but not his friendships ; and Dudley was beheaded on
Tower Hill, Aug. 22, 1510.
John Dudley, the son of Edmund, was born in 1502, and after the
accession of Edward VI was made Earl of Warwick, and, in 1551, Duke
of Northumberland. He fell in the vain attempt to raise his daughter-in-
law, the Lady Jane Grey, wife of Lord Guilford Dudley, to the throne,
as successor of Edward, and was beheaded by order of Queen Mary, Feb.
22, 1553. Sir Robert Dudley, son of the Duke of Northumberland, bom
1532, was a favorite of Queen Elizabeth, by whom, in 1564, he was made
Baron of Denbigh and Earl of Leicester. He died Sept. 4, 1588. Ambrose

Dudley, brother of the Earl of Leicester, who died at Bedford House, near
London, Feb. 21, 1589, was " deservedly called the good Earl of Warwick."
The Duke of Northumberland had eight sons and five daughters, and
from one of these sons the Rev. Samuel Dudley, son of Governor Thomas,
supposed his family to have been derived. (" Lives of the Governors of
New Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay," by Jacob Bailey Moore.)
Governor Bradstreet's father was Rev. Simon Bradstreet, who was
" one of the earliest fellows of Emmanuel College, Cambridge." Afterward
he was a minister of Lincolnshire, and a nonconformist at home, as well as
when preaching abroad, at Middleburgh. Going back another generation,
we learn from Mather and Hutchinson, that the Governor's grandfather
was "a Suffolk gentleman of fine estate" (N. E. H. and G. R.).
The " Dictionary of American Biography " (Drake) gives the fol-
lowing: "Bradstreet, Simon, governor of Mass., born in Horbling, Lin-
colnshire, Eng., March, 1603; died in Salem, Mass., March 27, 1697. Bred
in the religious family of the Earl of Lincoln, after studying one year at
Emmanuel College, Cambridge, he became steward to the Countess of War-
wick. Having married Anne, daughter of Thomas Dudley, he was per-
suaded to engage in the settlement of Massachusetts ; was chosen assistant-
judge of a court about to be established there, and arrived in Salem in the
summer of 1630. He took part in the proceedings of the first court held
in Charlestown, Aug. 23; became agent and secretary of Massachusetts,
and commissioner of the United Colonies. In 1631, he was among the
founders of Cambridge. He was among the first settlers of Andover, and
resided also at Ipswich, Salem, and Boston. In 1653, he, with his colleagues,
vigorously and successfully opposed making war on the Dutch in New York,
and on the Indians ; though it was strongly urged by all the commissioners of
the other Colonies. In 1662, he was sent to England to congratulate Charles
II on his restoration, and to act as agent for the Colony. He was assistant
from 1630 to 1679; governor from 1679 to 1686, when the charter was
annulled. He strenuously opposed the arbitrary measures of Andros, and
after his overthrow in May, 1689, was again governor until May, 1692,
when, at the age of 89, he became first counsel. He was in service of the
government 62 years, except during the brief administrations of Dudley
and Andros. He was a popular magistrate; a man of great integrity,
piety, and prudence; was opposed to the witch delusion in 1692, and lived
to be the Nestor of New England. He advised the surrender of the charter
of Massachusetts to Charles II, warily distrusting the ability of the Col-
onists to resist."
John Norton says of his wife Anne:
" Her breast was a brave palace, a broad street,
Where all heroic, ample thoughts did meet.
Where nature such a tenement had ta'en,
That other souls, to hers, dwelt in a lane."

known as Smithtown. Major Smith served as a Continental soldier during
the French war ; was at Ticonderoga ; saw Lord Howe fall, and was at
Quebec under Wolfe. He married Sarah Elizabeth Colburn, who came
from Dunstable in 1761, and died in Smithtown,- Pittston, April 11, 1821.

burn (a soldier in the Revolution) and his wife, Elizabeth (Lewis) Colburn.
Their daughter, Abigail, born in Pittston, Oct. 13, 1807, married Charles
Edward Bradstreet, and died in Pittston, Dec. 9, 1885. Mrs. Jewett was
a lady of quiet, retiring disposition, and was known for kindness and char-
itableness to those in need and distress.

Mr. Jewett, fired with enthusiasm and patriotism for the love of his coun-
try, enlisted for its defense as a private in Co. K, First Maine Cavalry, and
served three years, then re-enlisting as a veteran in the same regiment and
serving through the war; honorably discharged in August, 1865, receiving
the thanks and commendation of General Smith in his official report. His
record during the service is one of which he may well feel proud, to say
nothing of the intense satisfaction of having nobly done his part of the
work of suppressing the rebellion, and which was fully appreciated by the
government in his frequent promotions, the last being the command of his
company ; and on Jan. 28, 1865, he was appointed provost marshal of the
Third Brigade, Second Division of Sheridan's Corps, on the staff of Major-
428 Jewett Genealogy
General C. H. Smith, occupying this position until mustered out of service.
Active, energetic, and full of life, his career, although of fortunate termi-
nation, was marked with a bold, reckless disregard of life and a fearless-
ness of all danger; participating in all the battles of the Army of the
Potomac, having two horses shot under him, the last at Brandy Station,
where he was taken prisoner on the 9th of June, 1863, and was taken to
and confined in Libby Prison. He returned to his regiment in September
of the same year.

Eighth Generation 437
She was born in Weare, N. H., April 19, 1815, and died in Lincoln, Cal.,
March 13, 1880. Mr. Jewett was one of the hardy pioneers of California,
going there in 1852; he later returned to the East after his family, and in
1860 settled on a farm in Placer County, near where now stands the city
of Lincoln. As a boy he received but little education, yet he was always a
leader among men, and it was surprising the way he could hold an audience
when making a public address. If his language was not by rule, he never
failed to make himself understood, or to convince his listeners that he knew
what he was talking about. He was president of a mining company for a
few years, and finally took up government land near Lincoln, Cal., and
went to farming, which occupation he afterward continued in Haniford
until his death, March 10, 1899. In 1863 he was commissioned First Lieu-
tenant of the Lincoln and Virginia Home Guards by Frederick F. Low,
Governor of California. The towns of Lincoln and Virginia were situated
in a location where there were many Southern sympathizers, and this com-
pany found a plenty to do to keep them from open revolt. The company
was thoroughly drilled in marching and target-shooting; they were often
called to suppress trouble, and an uprising followed by bloodshed of grave
magnitude was only averted by their efficient work. Mr. Jewett and his
wife were members of the Baptist Church, of which he was a deacon.

Eighth Generation 441
" No man in Athens was more beloved than Major Jewett. He
was a jolly, good-natured soul, with a word of good cheer for
all whom he met. Everyone knew him and he knew everyone. His
was a genial disposition, and he never wounded nor gave offense.
His circle of friends was limited only by the number of his ac-
quaintances. His beautiful home, facing the Ohio University
campus, was ever open to his friends, and the Major was never
happier than when they would gather and spend the evening with
him. He was exceedingly fond of music, and frequently musical
programmes were rendered at his home for the entertainment of
his friends. He had no enemies; everyone was his friend. Major
Jewett lived his entire life in Athens, excepting when he was in
the service, fighting for his country. He was a student at the
Ohio University, and at the time that the war commenced between
the North and South he left college and went to the front. He
fought throughout the war and was in many fierce battles, such
as Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. He was a member of the
Sixty-first Ohio Regiment of Infantry and served as captain.
After the war closed he was brevetted a Major, and was always
given that title by his friends.
" No man in this section of the State was better posted on the
history of the war than Major Jewett. During all his long service
he kept a diary, and each evening made a note of the events of
the day, and by consulting this book he could tell where he was
and what he was doing on any day of that long struggle. After
returning from the service, when the war had closed, he read law
with his father, and was admitted to practice. He was elected
prosecuting attorney of Athens County and served two terms.
He also served two terms as probate judge. For many years the
firm of DeSteiguer & Jewett was considered one of the strongest
law firms in southeastern Ohio. After Mr. DeSteiguer was elected
to the bench. Major Jewett continued the practice alone until
Judge J. M. Wood succeeded him to the bench, when the Major
formed a partnership with J. P. Wood, and this partnership con-
tinued until his death. He was a good lawyer, an industrious
student of the law, and ever vigilant in looking after the interests
of his clients. He was strictly honest and faithful to every trust.
" IVIajor Jewett was for a great number of years actively en-
gaged in politics, and as chairman of the controlling committee
of his party carried it to many a victory. He was a good speaker
and took an active part in political campaigns, and less than three
weeks before his death made political speeches in this county,
"For many years the Major was a member of the Board of
Trustees of the Ohio University, and only recently resigned that
position. He was also auditor and secretary of the board, and
^43 Jewett Genealogy
retained this position until his death. He took a decided interest
in the welfare of the old university.
" ]\Iajor Jewett was a member of all the Masonic bodies of
Athens, and was also a charter member of the lodge of Elks in this
city.
" In the year 1871 he was married to Miss Etta Reynolds. She
passed away thirty years later, and since that time the Major has
resided alone, but surrounded by his friends and having the good-
will of everyone.
" The funeral services were very fittingly held in the college
auditorium, where the Major had for years spoken to the students
and elicited storms of applause by his eloquence. All places of
business were closed at 2 p. m., and probably never before in the
history of Athens was a funeral so largely attended. The Athens
Commandery of Knights Templars directed the services and con-
ducted their impressive ceremony. Dr. R. F. Bishop of the M. E.
Church officiated in the absence of Dr. Slutz, speaking in an
appropriate way. He presumed that when all of the Major's
friends had solved the problem of existence they would still find
him smiling the same and reaching forth the same glad hand of
friendship. Rev. Bishop was followed by President Ellis, Judge
Wood, and Gen. Grosvenor, each of whom payed a simple yet
glowing tribute to the loved memory of the deceased. The Major's
big-heartedness was the main theme of each,
" After the conclusion of the ceremonies the body laid in state
in the vestibule of Ewing Hall, draped with the flag of the Loyal
Legion. The funeral procession, led by the Athens Juvenile Band
and followed by the different orders, was formed on Court Street,
when it slowly marched to the new cemetery, where the body was
interred beneath a wilderness of flowers. Before his death the
Major often suggested an epitaph which was very characteristic
of his personality — " He had a good time."

1838, Mary Catherine Jewett (see 2915), who was bom in New Haven, Vt.,
July 16, 1819, and died June 12, 1891.
Mr. Jewett was one of the most prominent men of his State ; besides being
known as one of the foremost farmers of Addison County, he was active in
State politics and in one of the Democratic State Conventions he lacked but
one vote of being nominated for governor; his successful competitor being
elected. Under Daniel Webster, Secretary of State, he was sent as bearer
of dispatches from the U. S. Government to the Court of St. James, and
Paris, France. At the time he received this honor he was appointed by the
Governor of Vermont as Commissioner to the World's Exposition and Fair
at Crystal Palace, Hyde Park, London. In 1838-39 he was a member of
the Vermont Legislature.
The Silas Wright monument at Weybridge, Vt., was erected through the
efforts of Mr. Jewett, and at the ceremony of the laying of the comer-
stone he entertained at his house ex-President Martin Van Buren, General
Wool, and many others of note.
He was one of the first in the United States to give attention to improv-
ing the breed of sheep. In 1850 he visited France and Spain and imported
from those countries the best specimens of fine wool sheep that he could
find, and it was largely due to his influence that the wool industry grew to
importance in New England. Subsequently he made many trips to Europe
in the interest of the improvement of domestic animals in this country.
While in England and on the Continent he received numerous medals for
his fine stock at the various large expositions he attended.
During the fifties he sold his interests in Vermont and moved westward
to Racine, Wisconsin. In I860 he made his first visit to California, bringing
an importation of Merino sheep. After that, while never a permanent citi-
zen of California, his visits were frequent and prolonged. His name is
prominently connected with the growth and development of Southern Cali-
fornia. Here he was the first settler of the large town knowTi as Bakersfield ;
and at one time owned all the land where that city is located. He is also re-
membered as being one of the original owners of the famous Comstock silver
mine in Nevada.
Mr. Jewett died in Santa Barbara, California, Oct. 30, 1894. His
remains were sent east and buried in his native state.

a year's leave of absence that others less fortunate than herself

chacocon (Trolling Line). When Mr. Jewett's friends came to live near

the river at Green Point, two miles and a half above Saginaw City. My

boat that could carry a horse across the river. My daughter, Mrs. Dr.
N. D. Lee, of Saginaw City, was bom at my home at Green Point in Feb.,
1834, and except one born when the U. S. troops occupied the fort at Sagi-
naw, was the first white female born in the region above referred to. We
lived In a log house, and nearly every stranger that visited Saginaw would
come to our cabin for entertainment. There were few conveniences for cook-
ing, so we concluded we would keep a hotel. Mr. Jewett died Feb. — ,
1875.' "

2911 ELAM RICHARDSON JEWETT (Othniel"<'% Elam^'S Eleat
zer--°, Eleazer^^, Jeremiah^^, Joseph*, Edward^), was born in New Haven, Vt.i,
Dec. 7, 1810; died in Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 10, 1887. From the " History of
Buffalo, N. Y. : " Elam Jewett was taught to do farm work as soon as he wd-S
old enough; his first employment was riding a horse in front of an ox-team
plow, when he was seven years old. He attended the common school in
winter months and worked on the farm in summer, until he was thirteen years
old, when he was apprenticed to the printer's trade. About that time
Horace Greeley went from West Haven, Vt., to East Putney to learn, the
printer's art, in the office of the Northern Spectator. Elam Jewett, who
was less than two months Greeley's senior, left New Haven in. the same Stat^
to learn the same trade in the office of the National Standard at Middlehxiry^
Vt. The former subsequently gained distinction in the nation's metropolis,
and the latter became eminent in the same profession in a great city -at
the other extremity of the Empire State. ■ ' ' i
"The conditions ' of Elam's appreriticeship were to serve seven 'year$
for his board, and a compensation of $25.00 the first year, with an addiT
tional $5.00 each year, and to have the benefit of six months' schooling
during the seven years. The contract was faithfully kept by both parties;
and young Jewett graduated a first-clas^ printer at the age of twentyi
but without much available capital. ^
"After a term of two months* attendance at the Montpelier Academy
he became one of the publishers of the Vermont State Journal, Mr. CV L.
Knapp, afterwards member of Congress and editor of the Lowell Citizen,
being his associate. Shortly afterwards he assumed the publication of the
Middlehury Free Pr^ss, and "carried on both papers. They were both anti-
Masonic, that question being then prominent in the politics of the country.
All the financial assistance Mr. Jewett received' from his father in his start in
life was the loan of $35.00, which he was not required to repay. Three of
four years' experience with these country papers gave Mr. Jewett a desire
for a larger field and greater opportunities. These were, at that time,
naturally sought for in the West ; and for the purpose of suiting himself
better he made a tour of observation through New York and into Ohio in
1838, going as far as Cleveland, and finally determined to establish himself
in the book and stationery trade and the publication of a paper at Ohio City;,
502 Jewett Genealogy
a name given to the settlement on the opposite side of the Cuyahoga river from
Cleveland. He returned to his home in New England, packed and shipped
his newspaper material, bought a stock of books and stationery in New Haven,
Conn., and New York, and returned to Ohio City. A Mr. Babcock, of New
Haven, from whom he purchased a portion of his stock of goods, accompanied
him West to consult and advise with reference to the establishment of this
new business. The ground was carefully looked over by the dealer and
his young customer. The result of the financial crisis of 1837 still rested
upon the business of the country ; the success of Ohio City was an uncer-
tainty, and all things considered, Mr. Babcock thought the prospect any-
thing but promising. It was therefore abandoned, Mr. Babcock agreeing
to take the stock Mr. Jewett had purchased from him upon the payment of
$250.00 for expenses already incurred. While in Cleveland Mr. Jewett
strolled into a newspaper office as newspaper men naturally will, and inci-
dentally picked up a Buffalo paper in which he read an advertisement an-
nouncing that the Buffalo Daily Journal was for sale. He took passage on
the first boat for that city and sought an interview with the advertiser. It
was a daily paper with a circulation of about 600. A weekly edition was
also printed under the name of the Patriot.
" The paper was printed with a hand press. The city of Buffalo then
had a population of 16,000. Mr. Jewett purchased the Journal establish-
ment and became the proprietor of a daily and weekly newspaper and a pio-
neer in Buffalo. There were but two papers in the city, the Journal and
the Commercial Advertiser. Both were Whig papers, and the exciting pres-
idential election of 1840 was approaching. Clay and Harrison were the
talked-of candidates. The Journal supported the former and the Commer-
cial Advertiser the latter. In the meantime the Journal was selected as the
ofScial paper of the city, an event that widened the breach between the two
Whig organs. The proprietors of the Commercial were sorely grieved in
having a newcomer to the city step in and carry off such a prize. At length
a proposition was made to Mr. Jewett to unite the two papers, upon the plea
that the field was too small for two papers of the same party, and he was
advised to purchase the Commercial. Much as he desired to have his rival
out of the way, and anxious as he was to have his paper benefited by such
a union, Mr. Jewett was in no condition to purchase such an establishment.
" The Commercial was owned by Messrs. H. A. and Guy H. Salisbury,
and Dr. Thomas M. Foote. It was finally proposed that Mr. Jewett pur-
chase the interest of the Salisburys, if in addition to certain other payments
he would assume a mortgage upon the property of $1,200.00. The propo-
sition was accepted and Mr. Jewett had no difficulty in finding twelve good
friends who joined with him in a note, each becoming responsible for one
hundred dollars.
" Mr. Jewett paid the note at or before maturity from the profits of his
business and without troubling his obliging indorsers. The consolidated
paper was called The Commercial Advertiser and Journal, in order to pro-
Eighth Generation 503
tect the legality of unexpired advertisements, for a while, and the Journal
was dropped and the Commercial Advertiser used only. The publishers were
E. R. Jewett & Co., Dr. Thomas M. Foote being the company.
" Mr. Jewett had a narrow escape from assassination in 1847. A midship-
man by the name of Pollock, attached to the U. S. lake steamer " Michigan,"
taking exception to an article in the paper, came to the office and inquired
of Mr. Jewett whether he was responsible for its publication, and being
assured in the affirmative. Pollock drew a horse-pistol and deliberately fired
at him. The weapon was loaded with large buckshot, two of which lodged
midway in his wallet, filled with miscellaneous papers, opposite the groin
and directly over the femoral artery, which would have been severed but for
the wallet. Pollock was convicted and sent to prison for five years, but
was pardoned by Gov. Young before the completion of the sentence. In
1850, at the solicitation of numerous friends of President Fillmore's admin-
istration, Mr. Jewett assumed the management of the Albany State Regis-
ter for nearly two years, traveling between Albany and Buffalo, chiefly by
night trains, and attending to business alternately by day in the two cities.
" In 1850 Messrs. Jewett and Foote formed a co-partnership with C. S.
F. Thomas and S. H. Lathrop for the transaction of book and job work,
in connection with the stationery business, and the concern did a large and
profitable business. The desire of Messrs. Thomas and Lathrop to extend
the business beyond what the other parties deemed justifiable led to a dissolu-
tion in 1855, the former purchasing the interest of the latter, both in the
newspaper and stationery and book business. The Commercial, under Mr.
Jewett's administration, secured a national reputation for its excellent job
printing and relief -line engraving. C. C. Bristol, in his history of Buffalo,
published in 1865, says upon this subject: — 'The Commercial Advertiser
printing house is now the oldest in that line in Buffalo. In its early days
it gave a reputation to the town for the best printing in the land. It inau-
gurated the celebrated Chromotypic style of which has grown the beautiful
colored work now seen in the shape of cards and frame show bills for rail-
roads, etc.
" ' The relief Line Engraving establishment of Messrs. E. R. Jewett &
Co., for many years has furnished the fine-line engraving for the Patent
Office reports, which, until Messrs. Jewett & Co. took the contract, was
given out to numerous engraving establishments in the principal cities of
the United States. It is now all done in this establishment, where sufficient
hands are employed to produce the engravings as fast as they are wanted.
Copies of the work produced by Messrs. Jewett & Co. were submitted to the
United States Comjnissioners of Patents, the Superintendent of Public
Printing, the examiners in the Patent Office, and others, who all pronounced
it the handsomest and cleanest specimen of work ever submitted for inspec-
tion. It is very creditable to us that Buffalo has done some of the best
work the Government ever had."
" Mr. Jewett was a warm personal friend of the late President Fill-
504 Jewett Genealogy
more. The intimacy began upon Mr. Jewett's arrival in Buffalo, and only
terminated with the death of his associate. Upon the invitation of Mr. Fill-
more, Messrs. Jewett and Foote accompanied him on a trip abroad in 1856,
meeting in Paris and then visiting many points of interest in Europe. Cir-
cumstances prevented Messrs. Fillmore and Foote fromi going to the Holy
Land, as was contemplated. Mr. Jewett joined a party of Americans
bound thither and traveled through Palestine. At Cannes, in France, the
summer residence of Lord Brougham, President Fillmore and companions
were invited to the chateau of the English statesman and cordially wel-
comed. At Rome they were given an audience by Pope Pius IX.
" Soon after Mr. Jewett's return from abroad the panic of 185T swept
over the country, carrying down his former partners, who had extended
and enlarged their business beyond what Messrs. Jewett and Foote would
consent to do, which was the cause of the dissolution. They failed for
$300,000, and made an assignment for the benefit of their creditors, of whom
Messrs. Jewett and Foote were the largest. They purchased the business
of the concern from the assignee in order to protect their interest and thereby
again became the publishers of the Commercial Advertiser, which they sold
in 1862.
" Mr. Jewett then engaged in the manufacture of envelopes, establishing
the first envelope factory west of New York city, in which he was assisted
by his nephew, E. M. Jewett, and carried on the stationery business for a
while, and in 1864* hfe retired from active business and purchased the old
Chapin farm on Main Street. He added to his purchase adjoining farms
until he became the owner of 450 acres, which he proceeded to cultivate and
improve in the most elaborate manner. When the Park was laid out about
200 acres of his land was taken for park purposes, leaving about 250 acres,
which is now one of the choicest and most attractive spots in the vicinity
of Buffalo, and is known as Willow Lawn.
" The farm is cultivated for the pleasure and amusement of the vener-
able proprietor rather than for profit. Anything Avhich promises comfort
and enjoyment is indulged in, his aim seeming to be not onl}^ to minister to his
own pleasure, but to the happiness of his host of kindred and friends as
well. In his retirement he is surrounded with all the luxuries that can be
desired. A well-selected library and rare pictures grace his mansion, choice
fruits and luscious vegetables abound in his well-kept garden, broad and
extended lawns stretch out in all directions to please the eye, gently curving
avenues, fringed with nicely trimmed hedges, invite strolls through their ser-
pentine meanderings, graceful shade trees shut out the rays of the scorching
sun, while unnumbered blossoms lend their enchanting fragrance to render
this unequaled suburban retreat — Willow Lawn — the Val Ambrosia of Buf-
falo. Mr. Jewett finds infinite pleasure in entertaining his friends and
acquaintances at his country-like house. His social habits, genial dispo-
sition, and generous nature are well suited to the means at his disposal for
doing the honors of host.

" The veteran ex-printer, ex-publisher and ex-editor is most fortunate
in his circumstances and surroundings ; but few men have better deserved
by hard and honest work in their younger days the ease and comfort which
Mr. Jewett enjoys in a hale and hearty age that is not old.
"Mr. Jewett refers with just pride to his numerous ' boys,' as he calls
those who have been in his employ and gone out to fight the battle of life
successfully. Among these are W. F. Story, editor and proprietor of the'
Chicago Times; James N. Matthews, editor and proprietor of the Buffalo
Express; S. P. Rounds, the present Government Printer, and others in the
newspaper profession, as well as some who have entered the pulpit or been
admitted to the bar. Mr. Jewett was married in 1838 to Miss Caroline
Wheeler, of his and her native town of New Haven, Vt. The venerable
couple have not been blessed with living children. In religion Mr. Jewett
is an Episcopalian, and in politics he is an ardent Republican. His admi-
ration of Lincoln, the great apostle of Republicanism, is duly attested by an
original painting b}- Sully, that graces his drawing-room. He has never
been an office holder or an office seeker. He was elected Supervisor of the
Twelfth ward a few years ago, much against his wish, but having been
chosen he discharged the duties of the office faithfully and well."

6, 1815. After a very limited school education such as was to be had at
the time, at the age of 12 years he commenced the support of himself, as
well as assisting in the support of the family, driving a yoke of oxen in
the construction of the Ohio Canal. He next entered the service of William
Wing of Columbus, Ohio, in a general merchandise store in Baltimore, Ohio,
and later the store of Avery and Fassett at Granville, Ohio, as a clerk. He
afterwards entered the employ of the Granville Iron Furnace, and during
part of his time with them drove a team through the State of Ohio, before

the railroads were built, delivering stove castings and hollow ware. His
next change was to embark in the general merchandise business in Newark,
Ohio, on his own account, which business prospered and later developed into
a wholesale grocery business which he followed with success until the spring
of 1870. During the Civil War, besides his grocery business, he represented
the Adams Express Co., as its agent, and the Government as Deputy Revenue
Collector, when the office was a very important one, taxes being collected on
almost everything and from almost everybody, as well as a large revenue
coming from a distillery then operated in Newark. He also owned a coal-
bank in Coalport, and the coal boats to carry the coal to Newark. At this
time he had the contract to furnish the recruiting camps in Ohio and the
Confederate prison at Johnson's Island with provisions and supplies.
In 1870, he with five others, bought the Newark Rolling Mills, which
he managed until steel rails took the place of iron. He then entered the
grain and commission business which he followed until 1889, when he retired
from all business, and removed to Sioux Falls, S. D., to be with his five sons
and their families who had preceded him to that State. After seeing his
sons well established in his old line of business he died, Oct. 13, 1891. Buried
in Cedar Hill Cemetery, Newark, Ohio. His picture appears on the oppo-

this, he settled in St. Clairsville, Ohio, where he was admitted to the bar
and practiced law there, and in Cadiz, Ohio, being a partner of E. M.
Stanton, Secretary of War under Lincoln. -

2963 HON. HUGH JUDGE JEWETT (John"'^ Thaddeus^'S
Caleb^^^, Eleazer^", Jeremiah^^, Joseph*, Edward^), was born at Bachelor's
Good Luck (now Lansdowne), Harford Co., Md., July 1, 1817. He mar-
ried at St. Clairsville, Ohio, June 20, 1840, Sarah Jane Ellis, daughter of
Judge Ezra and Sarah (McKinley) Ellis. She was born Oct. 11, 1819,
and died at Zanesville, Ohio, Oct. 13, 1850. Col. Eaton, George Many-
penny, a Commissioner of Indian affairs ; William Kennon, a Member of
Congress and a Judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio ; Wilson Shannon,
Governor of Ohio in 1838 and 1842, Minister to Mexico, Congressman,
Governor of the Kansas Territory, and Mr. Jewett, all married sisters, the
daughters of Judge Ellis. Little is known of the Ellis family history.
Judge Ellis' wife was a McKinley from near Lynchburg, Va., and the late
President, William McKinley, told Mrs. William Kennon (Mary Ellis) that
iier mother and his father were of the same family.
Mr. Jewett married second, in Putnam, Ohio, April 10, 1853, Sarah
Elizabeth Kelly, nee Guthrie, daughter of Julius Chappell and Pamelia
(Buckingham) Guthrie, and widow of Chauncey Regan Kelly of Carmel,
N. Y. She was born Feb. 14, 1823, and died in New York, April 3, 1901.
Mrs. Jewett was descended from Thomas Welles, Governor of the Connecti-
cut Colony, Chad Brown of Providence, Rev. Abraham Pierson, first Presi-
dent of Yale College ; Thomas Huntington of Mansfield, Matthew Mitchell,
John Clark, James Judson, and many other worthies of the Colonial period.
Mr. Jewett attended the Hopewell Academy, in Chester Co., Pa., and
studied law with Col. Jonathan C. Groome, of Elkton, Md., who was later
Governor of Maryland. After his admission to the bar, he went to St.
Clairsville, Ohio, in 1838, where he formed a law partnership with Isaac
Eaton, who subsequently became a prominent lawyer of Kansas and a mem-
ber of the Democratic National Committee.
About 1850 he removed to Zanesville, Ohio, where he formed a law
partnership with the Hon. John O'Neill, Member of Congress. He was a
presidential elector in 1852, United States District Attorney for the South-
ern District of Ohio in 1853, State Senator in 1853, President of the Musk-
ingum County branch of the Ohio State Bank in 1852. This bank passed
triumphantly through the panic of 1857. In 1855 he was elected a Director
of the Central Ohio Railroad, and in 1857 was elected its President and
Receiver.
When a member of the Ohio State Senate he took the position that an
516 Jewett Genealogy
adjourned session of the Legislature was an evasion of the State Constitu-
tion, and maintained his point with such vigor that that Legislature has the
record of being the only one assembled under the new Constitution, which
has not held an adjourned session. Subsequently he became a member of
the lower house of the same body which, following precedent, did hold an
adjourned session. For the protection of his constituents, Mr. Jewett at-
tended the session, but refused to receive any compensation for his attend-
ance, adhering to his position that the session was contrary to the spirit
of the Constitution. In 1860, being nominated for Congress by the Demo-
crats of the Zanesville district, then heavily Republican, he failed of election
by only 60 votes, although the rest of the ticket was defeated by majorities
varying from 1200 to 1500.
In 1861 he was the Democratic nominee for Governor of the State.
On account of the impending war the ticket was foredoomed to defeat,
but the purpose of his candidacy was accomplished and the threatened dis-
ruption of the party was averted. Being a war Democrat, he would not
accept the nomination on the platform laid down by the State Convention,
for the reason that it did not support the war. He wrote two lettters
to the State Committee, one declining the nomination for Governor upon
the platform of the Convention and the other accepting it upon a platform
of his own, which gave a vigorous support to the war. The Committee
accepted his platform, and he ran largely ahead of his ticket.
Governor Todd, his successful opponent in the Gubernatorial race, ap-
pointed him a commissioner to canvass the State and work up public senti-
ment for a vigorous prosecution of the war. During the war he was offered
a commission as General in the army, which he declined, believing that his
experience in railroad matters offered greater opportunities for service in
the solution of difficulties incident to the transportation of troops and
supplies; a conclusion justified by the numerous times his advice was sought
by the Government upon these points. In 1863 he was given a further
proof of the confidence and respect of his party by receiving the full Demo-
cratic vote of the Ohio Legislature in the election which resulted in sending
" Old Ben " Wade to the United States Senate.
About this time he was a member of the Syndicate that built the Kan-
sas Pacific & Midland Pacific Railroads, now parts of the Union Pacific
Railroad. In 1869 he was elected President of the Little Miami, the Colum-
bus & Xenia and the Cincinnati & Muskingum Valley Railroads, and Vice
President of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railroad, and in 1871
General Counsel of the Pennsylvania Co. In 1870 he was nominated for
Congress in the Seventh District, but was defeated by Samuel Shellabarger.
He shortly afterwards changed his residence to the capital of the State,
Columbus, where, in 1872, he was elected to Congress for the Twelfth Dis-
trict. In 1873 he was elected President of the Erie Railroad under a ten-
years contract and removed to New York City. He Avas prominently talked
of for the Presidential nomination on the Democratic ticket in 1880.
It does not seem fitting that the most important work of his life, the
^^^vr^-^'s^v-.,
Eighth Generation " 517
rehabilitation of the Erie Railroad, should be passed over without more
extended comment. The items which follow are for the most part extracted
verbatim from an article on " The Railroad Men of America " pubKshed in
the " Magazine of Western History," Vol. IX., No. 1, for November, 1888.
" Its immense capital stock (that of the Erie Railroad) offering investors
no dividend, fell a prize to foreign speculators and proxy peddlers. * * *
In 1874 the Company had just escaped from a government of rank scoundrel-
ism. * * * It was dominated for the moment by James McHenry, a reck-
less international swindler. * * * After eviscerating the Atlantic and
Great Western Co., he had bound its carcass on the back of the Erie, and
was at the time busied with a gang of London plunderers in selling twenty-
five millions of Erie bonds and accounting for less than half of their par
value. Wholly unaware, when he took control, of these difficult conditions
and disastrous comphcations, Mr. Jewett faced them resolutely when re-
vealed. He shook off the Great Western incubus and took McHenry by the
throat, throwing him and his confederates into the English Courts, where,
after some years, judgments were rendered against the chief for over a mil-
lion and a half, while the accomplices gladly escaped exposure by payment
of heavy sums in compromise. Reconstruction necessarily followed ; * * *
but every step encountered vehement opposition, sustained openly in the
Courts by the best legal talent, and covertly by slanderous abuse in the
press. It was life or death to McHenry, who found no tool too low, no
practice too base to grasp at. When, after three years of desperate struggle,
he retired defeated and the new corporation stood solidly founded, Mr.
Jewett had won an honorable name for courage, justice and power, among
the great Railroad Managers of the Country. In spite of these discourage-
ments (a war of rates, difficulties in procuring extensions of the system, and
the persistent unreasoning demands of EngHsh stock-holders for instant
returns upon their investments) Mr. Jewett devoted himself, at the sacrifice
of health and comfort, to the task he had assumed, until he had lifted the
Erie Co. from bankruptcy and prostration to an equal rank with that of
any of the great corporations of the country; and after five years of his
presidency, the market price of the Company's new bonds had doubled;
its common stock had risen from eleven to fifty; its preferred stock had
earned three dividends, and its gross revenue had grown from less than sixteen
millions in 1869 to nearly twenty-three millions in 1883.
During the prosecution of the McHenry case Mr. Jewett's life was
threatened more than once. He was offered large bribes to discontinue
their prosecution, and upon his determined refusal to interfere, McHenry
and his associates had recourse to desperate criminal measures, all of which
were fortunately thwarted. Mr. Jewett was notified by the police authorities
that it was unsafe for him to venture out of doors after dark, and they
advised that the shutters of his residence be closed at night so that even his
shadow might not be seen outside; otherwise they would not be responsible
for the results.
As a single specimen of his acuteness and business foresight it may
618 Jewett Genealogy
be mentioned that at a mass meeting held in Chickering Hall in 1883, to
discuss the project of holding a World's Fair in New York, at which he
was called on to preside, he made an address upon the natural advantages
of that city which contained the argument upon which the now famous
" rule of differentials " was based. The New York Commercial of Aug. 1,
1898, in commenting upon an article shortly before published in the Phila-
delphia Press, referring to his speech on that occasion, editorially quotes as
follows: "The argument (Mr. Jewett's) so greatly impressed the railway
managers and was found by Commodore Vanderbilt himself to be so un-
answerable, that it was agreed that there should be some arbitrary compensa-
tion for the natural advantages New York had secured, taking the form of
better rates for breadstuffs to Philadelphia, Baltimore, and other ports than
could be obtained for like shipments to Europe by way of the harbor of New
York."
In 1884, Mr. Jewett retired from active business, at the expiration of
his contract with the Erie Railroad, to the old place in Harford Co., Md.,
where he spent a large portion of the remaining years of his life. He died
at the Bon Air Hotel, Augusta, Ga., March 6, 1898. At the time of his
death, the commfents upon him, in addition to giving a history of his career,
were substantially in the language of the editorial of the Chattanooga,
Tenn., Tim£s, as follows : " The death of Hon. Hugh. J. Jewett at Augusta,
Ga., on Monday last, removed a man of marked force and great usefulness
to his country.
"He was United States District Attorney, Bank President, Railroad
President and leading lawyer in a section of the state where good lawyers
were no rarity. He was sent to Congress which he left to accept the Presi-
dency of the Erie Railroad, the worst looted railroad on the continent, one
that had been the plaything of knaves for a quarter of a century. His
task was Herculean, but he was measurably successful. He left an ample
estate and an unsullied name. He was never even suspected of the wrecking
methods that were disgracefully common among railroad attorneys and
financiers during his career in that department. * * * *
" He was President and Director of many other railroads and financial
institutions during the course of his active business life. He was a patron
of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and a member of many
societies and clubs. His sympathy with the distressed prompted many a
deed, most of which will never be known."

who was bom in Perrysville, Ind., Dec. 3, 1837, daughter of Benjamin and
Prudence (Nash) Turman. Shortly after his birth Mr. Jewett's parents
moved to a farm near Kendall, N. Y. When a young man Mr. Jewett started
on the migration which took him across the continent, following closely the
earliest settlers and being among the first settlers of the communities in which
he has lived. The first place he located was in Leavenworth Co., Territory
of Kansas, and he sufficiently impressed himself upon the people among whom
he lived, that the neighborhood, church and school there, has been for years,
called Jewett. He belonged to the Kansas Militia during the Civil War,
and saw all the horrors of border warfare, and was within a few miles of
Lawrence when Quantrell sacked the town. He held many minor official
positions, among which was County Commissioner, always with credit to
himself. Having seen Kansas admitted to the Union, the desire to be on
the frontier impelled him to move to the Territory of Washington in 1884,
where he located upon his present fine stock ranch which he conducted until
his increasing years compelled him to retire, and he has since lived in the
city of Pomeroy.

3247 PROF. MILO PARKER JEWETT, LL.D. (Calvin^°^%
Daniel'", Benjamiin-^% Benjamin^^ Nehemiah^^ Joseph*, Edward^), was bom
in St. Johnsbury, Vt., April 27, 1808. He married Sept. 17, 1833, Jane
Augusta Russell, daughter of Hon. Moor Russell, of Plymouth, N. H. She
died April 5, 1889. Prof. Jewett died in Milwaukee, Wis., June 9, 1882.
From the Milwaukee Republican-Sentinel of June 19, 1882: "Prof.
Milo P. Jewett was a native of St. Johnsbury, Vt. His father, an eminent
physician, was a man of literary tastes, possessing a valuable collection of
books, the reading of which had a great influence in moulding the character
of his son. His mother, a highly accomplished lady, was educated at the
Female Academy at Canterbury, Conn., under the direction of her relative,
John Adams, afterwards the distinguished principal of Phillips Academy
at Andover, Mass. Prof. Jewett received his preparatory education at Brad-
ford, Vt., Academy, and in 1828 graduated from Dartmouth College. He
spent the next year as principal in Holmes' Academiy, at Plymouth, N. H.,
employing a part of the time as a law student in the office of Hon. Josiah
Quincy at Rumney, N. H. Abandoning the law in 1830, he remained three
years in the Andover Theological Seminary. Having spent his winter va-
cations, during his college course, in teaching school, he had gained a reputa-
tion as a successful instructor ; and upon the invitation of Josiah Holbrook,
of Boston, founder of the lyceum system, he spent his vacations during his
theological course in lecturing on common schools, in New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, and Connecticut. His work produced the happiest results.
His addresses on these subjects are believed to have been the first
of a popular nature delivered in the United States, and such was the interest
taken in them, that wherever he Avent, parents and children alike flocked to
hear them. Through J. Orville Taylor, a fellow student of Prof. Jewett,
who became interested in the matter, a movement was inaugurated in New
York City that resulted in the present common school system in the Empire
State. Such had been Mr. Jewett's success in teaching that he resolved to
follow it as a profession, instead of entering the ministry ; and accordingly,
before graduating from the Theological Seminary, he accepted an appoint-
ment as one of the first professors in Marietta College, Ohio. Before enter-
ing upon his duties he spent several months among the Congregational
churches of New England, soliciting college funds, basing his plea upon
* the perils which threaten our civil and religious liberties from the progress
of Roman Catholicism in the Mississippi Valley,' being the first to sound
the alarm in a series of addresses.
Eighth Generation 559
" Prof. Jcwett entered upon his work in Marietta College in 1834!. In
the autumn of 1835 or 36, at the first State educational convention of Ohio,
at Cincinnati, he, with Prof. Calvin E. Stowe and William Lewis, were ap-
pointed a committee to urge upon the legislature the estabhshment of a new
common school system. They were not only successful in their undertaking,
but also procured appropriations sending Prof. Stowe to Europe to investi-
gate the Prussian school system. His report awakened universal interest,
and led to Horace Mann's famous mission, with its grand results. A change
of views on baptism led Prof. Jewett to resign his position in Marietta Col-
lege, and in January, 1839, he established the Judson Female Institute at
Marion, Ala. This soon became the most flourishing institution in the South-
west, comprising among its pupils daughters of wealthy planters in Ala-
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, and Texas. In connection with his
school he published ' The Alabama Baptist,' the still pubKshcd state organ
of that denomination. In the summer of 1855, leaving his school in a pros-
perous condition, and taking such of his servants as accepted their freedom,
he returned to the North, receiving from pupils and patrons flattering tokens
of confidence and aff'ection. In the following autumn he purchased the Col-
lege Hill Seminary, at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., entering upon intimate and
confidential relations with Matthew Vassar, Sr. Finding him wealthy, child-
less, and ambitious to perpetuate his name, Prof. Jewett suggested to him
the idea of a college that should be for young women what Yale and Har-
vard are to young men. As a result of this suggestion, Mr. Vassar revoked
his will, which left his estate to create a hospital at Poughkeepsie, resolving
to build and endow, during his lifetime, the proposed institution for young
ladies. Thus ' Vassar College ' came into existence, being incorporated in
1861, and was the only endowed institution for young ladies in the world.
Prof. Jewett was the trusted counselor and inspirer of Mr. Vassar in the
noble work, and planned and organized the college, being chosen its first
president. In April, 1862, at the trustees' request, he visited Europe, spend-
ing eight months in visiting the universities, libraries, art galleries, etc., in
all the principal cities of Great Britian and the Continent. Two years
later he resigned the college-presidency, and in 1867 removed to his late
home in this city. Here he found congenial occupation in devoting himself
to the interest of education, philanthropy and religion, as commissioner of
public schools, trustee of Milwaukee Female College, Chairman of the Board
of Visitors of the University of Wisconsin, President of the Milwaukee
Board of Health, President of the Wisconsin State Temperance Society,
President of the Milwaukee County Bible Society, member of the Western
Advisory Committee of the American Baptist Educational Commission, and
Chairman of the State Baptist Centennial Committee. In the midst of his
active duties. Prof. Jewett did not neglect self-culture; and aside from his
contributions to papers and magazines, issued several publications, and
earned a wide reputation as a scholar and a reformer. In 1840, he issued
' Jewett on Baptism ' ; in 1863, ' Report on the President's Visit to Europe,'
560 Jewett Genealogy
and ' Report on the Organization of Vassar College ' ; in 1874, ' Relations
of Boards of Health to Intemperance,' and ' A, plea for Academies ' ; in
1875, ' The Baptist Centennial,' an address to the Baptist Church of Wis-
consin, and ' The Model Academy.'
" Politically, he was formerly a Whig, but was afterwards identified
with the Republican party.
" For many years Prof. Jewett was a leading spirit in the Milwaukee
College, which was benefited beyond compute by liis advanced views and
keen interest. At the last annual meeting he resigned the presidency of the
Board of Trustees, owing to his growing feebleness.
" Most citizens will remember the fine, benevolent face of the venerable
Professor. His mind was always bent upon philanthropic enterprises. Men-
tally, he was clear, vigorous and excellently trained. It may be said of
his life that it was pre-eminently useful. In his social and business relations
he had fine ideals, and his energy, learning and practical sense enabled him
to make fitting application of his greatest theories."
MEMORIAL POEM
BY R. W. WRIGHT, ESQ.
Read at the Service in the First Baptist Church, Milwaukee, June 18, 1882.
A noble heart has ceased to beat,
A manly form lies struck to Earth;
All prostrate at Death's leaden feet
Are honor, virtue, truth and worth;
A life we learned to truly prize,
Because so nobly crowned with years.
Is passed forever — and our eyes,
Oh, how they fill with tears.
It was but yesterday he stood
A chief among the chiefs of Earth,
With heart and soul and mind imbued
With thoughts that claim high honor's birth;
Whose aim was honor's highest prize,
Which no Calumnious breath can reach,
So peerless it challenges
The world's approving speech.
To honor bound by truth sincere,
One constant aim inspired his breast.
To nurse no hate, to feel no fear.
And, friendship tried, its truth attest;
All falsehood, in his soul abhorred.
Shrank from his presence where he sate,
As well around the festive board
As in the halls of State.
A native valor stamped his mind,
A conscious sense of worth his heart:
High thoughts to noble manhood joined.
Their bravest powers to him impart;
Eighth Generation 561
While Fame, well pleased to be his guide,
Directs through rugged toil his feet,
And points the waj', herself beside,
Where honor holds his seat.
Not his the stormy war's career,
Nor the red battlefield to ride:
But the far higher, nobler sphere.
To turn the woes of life aside;
To heed the Master's gracious voice.
To go from door to door, '
And, with the All-giver's gifts, rejoice
To find the hungry poor.
It is from loving muse I crave
A chaplet worthy of his name,
A wreath to crown his fresh-turfed grave,
And leave untarnished all his fame,
Oh, for a higher manhood's goal •.
His regal virtues still to wear,
And his nobility of soul
To crown the world's career.
