In Madison twp, Licking cnty, Ohio: Isaac Jewell b. NJ 1797, Jerusha b. PA 1804, Sam b.1826 OH, Harrison b.1834, OH. Not sure if it is your family, but the dates and locations seem to match. And one would suppose that there were children born between the dates listed for the 2 sons. Also saw a Jesse Jewel in Madison, St.Joseph, IN 1850 census b. ohio which might explain how your Ruth got to IN (possible brother?). Might be something to check if you have not already seen it.
