T. Hewlett, Nancy Hewlett was a daughter of Samuel Moseley Hewlett Senior and 1 of his three wives: (1) Rebecca Frazier who he married  Dec. 1812 om Caldwell Co KY.;  then on Feb 25, 1817 Eleanor McDaniel in Christian Co. KY, then Davidson Co. TN in 1828 to Abigail Smith, sister of Elizabeth Smith Cagle, both daughters of Drury Smith and Sarah Jane Motley of Allen Co. Kentucky. >According to a short news article published in the book, Abigail Smith Hewlett raised 5 step children of Samuel Moseley Hewlett and had 5 of her own that included a daughter Catherine Hewlett who never married. John Motley Hewlett was named for her Mother Sarah Jane Motley of Allen Co. KY. > >To my knowledge, the first five children were by his 2d wife Eleanor McDaniel.  There is such an inconsistency of dates I seriously doubt Nancy Jane Hewlett was the daughter born to Rebecca Frazier Hewlett and Samuel M Hewlett so I suspect she is by Eleanor McDaniel.  Nancy Jane Hewlett Withers had a daughter named Maude Withers who married Desmond Brite and is buried at IOOF Cemetery Monett, MO. > >Thomas Withers is brother to Maude Withers and also son of Nancy Jane Hewlett Withers and Andrew Withers. > >Nancy Jane and Andrew Jackson Withers are buried at Mount Olivet Baptist Church Cemetery, north of Pierce City. > >Jean > > > > > >
