If you go to this URL, you'll see a map of Newburgh as it was in 1874. Follow the pink area to nearly it's lower edge to where it says STATE OF OHIO. To the right of those words, you'll see the property of C.P. Jewett. There may be others but that one popped out at me so I thought I'd point it out to you. http://www.clevelandmemory.org/titus/titus077.shtml Sandy On 14 Apr 2005 at 19:26, doriswaggoner@juno.com wrote: > > When was the town of Newburgh founded? I know it was before 1828, as I have an ancestor born there then. But how much before? What kind of a community was it around that time? How large in 1828? Was there a school for young women there in the 1830s or 1840s run by a Mr. Whipple, who by about 1850 was on the faculty at Oberlin? > > My ancestor was Eunice Jewett. Her parents were Moses and Eunice Jewett and lived on Miles Ave in Newburgh. After her mother died in 1832, her father remarried Adeline Adams in 1836. Her father seems to have died in 1850 and her stepmother continued to live on Miles Ave. My ancestor moved away but one of her brothers, C. P. Jewett, lived at another address on Miles Ave. He married a stepsister, also named Adeline Adams. All three lived very long lives and were buried from the Miles Ave addresses. So
