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 there must have been some kind of social stability in the area, I presume. What can someone tell me about this community?
