Doris, Here are a couple of links re Newburgh history http://personal.bgsu.edu/~gerdaj/Janicealogy/Newburgh.html And you will find articles in the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History, perhaps the best source of history for the area http://ech.cwru.edu/ Robert Jerin Croatian Heritage Museum Cleveland Ohio "doriswaggoner@juno.com" <doriswaggoner@juno.com> wrote: The old map of the Cleveland area, showing Newburgh, including property of one of my family, is fascinating. But I still am interested in the question of when and by whom the town of Newburgh was founded. I know that my ancestor Moses Jewett was there at least by 1828, because my gg grandmother Eunice Jewett was born there that year. One of her brothers, Alvah, was born in Cleveland in 1821. So the family moved between those two years. They lived for many years on Miles Ave. C. P. Jewett lived into the 20th C. on that street, as did his stepmother, Adeline Adams Jewett, at the original family farm, though it may not have still been a farm at the time of her death. Is there a history of Cleveland that includes a history of Newburgh? I have not been able to find anything online that will tell me this information. I am also interested in a school, which may have been very small, run in Newburgh by a Mr. Whipple, probably for "young ladies." Eunice attended this school and later became a teacher, so it would have been in the 1830s and 1840s. By 1850 Mr. Whipple was on the faculty at Oberlin.
