George served in the U.S. Army 1954-1956.

Died in the autumn of 1666 between August 6 when his will was dated and November 14 when it was proved.

She survived her husband nearly four years and died on Tuesday morning, April 7, 1896, at the age of seventy-five years, three months and seventeen days, after a residence of forty-two years in Linn County. Directly after the death of her husband, she moved to Central City to make her home with her daughter, Mrs. William M. Giffen. These latter years were entirely free from care, serene and enjoyable to an unusual degree for a person of her age. She made many visits to her former home and friends in Cayuga County, New York and often visited her son, La Verne W. Noyes in Chicago> Those who knew her best say that she dealt gently with all, and was never heard to speak an unkind word of anyone, while her influence over children was such that they would not quarrel in her presence. One might call her an apostle of peace; yet, to her country, she bravely gave up her eldest son. She was extremely fond of good reading, took a deep interest in the world's progress, in history and the affairs of the day, and always had the happy faculty of making and keeping friends.

He settled in Ipswich and removed to Scarborough, Me., where he was Town Clerk; he conducted a saw-mill on a small stream near Dunstan Corner, and seems to have been a man of means. He returned to Ipswich in a few years and died there June 19, 1732. "His will, dated June 10, 1732, proved July 7, 1732, mentions himself as of 'Scarboro' in the County of York but now of Ipswich; wife (unnamed) to be executrix; eldest son James to have all his lands in York County; son Moses; daughter Abigail."

He was of Newbury, though soon of Rowley, and died July 22, 1823. She died July 14, 1836, aged 82 years."

His widow, Abigail Jewett Todd, died Sept. 1, 1768.

He was a soldier in the Revolution from Ipswich, and served two or more enlistments: "Aaron Jewett, Ipswich, Private, Capt. Moses Jewet's troop of horse, Col. John Baker's (3d Essex Co.) regt., which marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775, to Medford; service 3 days." ("Mass. Soldiers and Sailors in War of the Rev.," Vol. VIII. He also was "Corporal in the Company which Capt. Moses Jewett led Nov. 29, 1775, from Ipswich to Gloucester, 26 miles."

He was a cabinet maker and farmer in Ipswich, and died there.

He was one of the Grantees of Buxton, Maine. "Mr. Aquila Jewett on the right of Samuel Kneeland received lot No. 17, range E in Narragansett No. 1, now Buxton, Maine."
He lived in Rowley where he was deacon of the Rowley Church. He died Nov. 26, 1760. "Uncle Aquila Nov. 26, 1760." [Ch. R., by Rev. Jedediah Jewett.]

He was in the Revolution "Daniel Jewett, Rowley, Private, Capt. Edward Payson's (Rowley) Co. of Militia; which marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775; service 3 days." ["Mass. Soldiers and Sailors in War of the Revolution," Vol. VIII.].)

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 Congregational 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 œ60 lawful money the first year and the said salary to increase yearly as our interest increases until it arrives to œ80 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 œ12 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 cheerfully 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."

When Candia, N. H., called Mr. Jewett they engaged "to pay him eventually œ65 a year, with the income of the parsonage, to build him a house and barn and dig a well." (McClintook.)

His will, dated Jan. 30, 1783, probated April 2, 1783, mentions wife Phebe, sons David and John Winthrop Jewett, daughters Phebe, Eunice, and Sarah (Lincoln Probate Court Record). His widow and family returned to Rowley and she married there, by Rev. James Chandler, Jan. 11, 1786, Col. Daniel Spoffard (his 3d wife). "He was Colonel of the Regiment and marched with them to Cambridge time of the Lexington fight." Representative 1766; member of Convention which formed the Constitution 1780; elected deacon 1781, and lived in the part of Rowley now Georgetown.

He removed from Rowley, Mass., to Monmouth Ridge, Me., in 1803, and took up a section of land given him by his mother, to which he added by purchase until he owned above 600 acres in the southeast part of the town. He furnished a substitute in the War of 1812, although he was not drafted.

He lived in Rowley, where in 1757 he was corporal in Capt. Northend's Co. Died Oct. 30, 1789.

"He was in the Canada expedition 1690 and no further mention is found of him." (Blodgette.) The town records of Rowley of May 6, 1691 show that the town paid the following named persons, in bills of credit, the sum set against their names for military service in Canada. To Deacon Ezekiel Jewett for his son Ezekiel œ5 0s. 3d.

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 appears 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 purchased 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.)

David; daughters Martha Brown (wife of John Brown of Monson) and her children (unnamed); Hannah Wood's children; Hepzibah Chaplin, wife of John Chaplin; Sarah Hale; Lydia wife of Elkanan Winchester (of Brookline); four children of eldest son Thomas, deceased--viz., Daniel; Hannah Snow; Sarah Poor and Enoch; trusty friend Joseph Hale junior of Boxford to be executor. His widow Martha's will mentions same children." (E. I. H. C.)

He was engaged in the French and Indian wars.

He was a soldier in the Revolution: "George Jewett, Rowley, Private, Capt. Edward Payson's (Rowley) co., of militia, which marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775; service 3 days." ("Mass. Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the Rev.," Vol. VIII.)

He was chosen deacon of the Rowley Church Nov. 9, 1791

His home was on Pleasant Street, on the lot laid out to Mark Prime.

He lived in Rowley, where he was active in town affairs and served on various committees. May 16, 1757, he was elected clerk of Capt. John Northend's First Foot Co.

His home was in Rowley, on the corner of Cross and Pleasant streets, being the lot laid out in 1643 to William Acy. He was a soldier in the war of William and Mary and other Indian wars. "Thomas Pike's Co. at Louisburg, John Jewet, this company went to Louisburg as the 10th Co. under command of Capt. Ebenezer Fisher, in 8th Mass. Regt., under command of Col. John Choate." (E. I. H. C.)

He was taxed in Monmouth, Me., in 1812, and had land, given him by his mother, in Winthrop, Me.

"Royal River Families" lists her name as Polly Jewell.

Moses and Mary were possibly cousins. His Aunt Ann, sister to his father Moses, was married to Amos Jewett. Amos and Ann had a daughter, Mary, baptised 1770 in Rowley.

He came to this country with Rev. Ezekiel Rodgers. He was the first deacon of the church in Rowley, Dec. 3, 1639; was admitted freeman, May 13, 1640; was a representative in 1641, and sixteen subsequent years.

They settled in Littleton, from which town he was a soldier in the Revolution. "Maxi. Jewett, Littleton, Private, Lieut Aquila Jewett's co., of militia, Col. James Prescott's regt., which marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775; service 2 days." (Mass. Soldiers and Sailors in War of Rev., Vol VIII.) He later removed with his family and settled on a farm near Bloomfield, now a part of Skowhegan, Me., where he died Oct. 16, 1823.

Capt. Jewett lived in Ipswich in a house he built in 1759, near the school house, on the road leading from Ipswich to Rowley. In 1897 this house was owned and occupied by Warren Boynton.

He was a soldier in the Revolution and Captain of a Troop of Horse from Ipswich. "Moses Jewett, Ipswich, Captain of a Troop of Horse, Col.
