Surnames: Jewett Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4g.2ADE/1760.2.1.1 Message Board Post: Rebecca, may I make a suggestion.....I wouldn't dismiss that grave in Knoxville. I bet there is some error in the reading of the gravestone. Even the middle initial is correct. The 1860 census shows no Albert Jewett who would have been born that early, anywhere in the US. the only Jewett's in Knox Co in 1860 where: your Albert E.S. Jewett in Galesburg b. 1836 in Michigan George Jewett b. 1825 in New york Odds are that tombstone is one of the old limestone variety that fades horribly over time and is difficult to read now. . And the odds that another Albert G. Jewett was in Knoxville in that era are pretty slim.
