Looking for info on Moses JEWETT, b. Oct 3, 1788, Hollis NH, moved to Conn at unknown age., married Eunice ANDREWS, b. 1792, probably there. Family story says they came to Cleveland in 1808. Have record of his buying a burial plot there in 1810, so he was there at least that early. Children Esther A. b. 1813; George A. b. 1816; Lydia A, b. 1818; Alvah b. 1821; Charles Porter b. 1825; Eunice b. May 30, 1828; Mary Jane, b. 1830; Julia Towsley, b. 1833. The children at least through Alvah were born in Cleveland. Eunice, my ancestor, was born in Newburgh (now Newburgh Heights). In Newburgh, the family lived on a farm on Miles Ave, and he was a prominent farmer, as he had been prominent in Cleveland, though I do not yet know his occupation there. Apparently his sons were prominent businessmen and his daughters moved in society. His wife died in 1832, and in 1836 he married Adeline ADAMS. She had eight children of her own. Moses and Adeline had two children together, both of whom died as infants. Charles Porter JEWETT married his stepsister Adeline ADAMS. Oddly enough, several of the ADAMS children and their families are buried in the plot Moses JEWETT purchased, but he is not. I have not been able to find his burial place. Some stories indicate he died in 1850. However, the place varies. One says Cleveland. An obituary for his daughter Eunice's husband Nicholas S. BASTION states that before their marriage in 1851, Eunice lived in Dayton, OH with her father. This implies he was still alive then. Numerous queries in that area have turned up nothing. Neither have queries in the Cleveland area. I would appreciate any information at all on Moses JEWETT, either on his early life in Cleveland, or on his death. Thank you, Doris Waggoner Seattle

Doris, I pasted a page below for the Hume family page, I didn't see Moses or Eunice either one, but there are Andrew/Andrews & Jewett listed.Another Jewett name might ring a bell with you. This has very early marriages for CT. I found out after many years of searching that my Andrews was actually Andrew, the spelling changed in the 1850 & 60's.

The Cleveland Necrology file has this: Id#: 0165068 Name: Jewett, Moses Date: 1850 Source: Cemetery record; Cleveland Necrology File, Reel #042. Notes: age 62. Harvard Grove Cemetery Cleveland, O. So it would seem that he is buried in that cemetery. Sandy On 4 Apr 2005 at 1:30, doriswaggoner@juno.com wrote: > > Looking for info on Moses JEWETT, b.
