Twenty-third Reunion, Jewett Family of America, Rowley, Massachusetts
July 11, 1964
THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Hopper Road
Williamstown, Mass.
December 27, 1964
To the Jewetts of America:
Greetings!
The year 1964 has been one of leiss travel for your president, and
con'siderable thought being given to trying to get a Memorial Library
under w,ay.
This Yearhook will include a report on the Reunion held in Rowley
during the past summer as p,art of the 3'25th anniversary of the founding
of the town.
Weare ple,ased to introduce to you our new vice president, Edgar
B. Jewett, III,a great gran,dson of the first president of the Jewett Falnily of America. He is a busy young man, as he travels about the country
as viee president of J. W. Clement C,ompany, printers.
He and his attractive young family live in North Salem, Westchester County, Ne,v
York, where they have a stable of riding horses, wihich suggests one sport
hobby; the other being skiing.
It has been deemed advis'able for some time to find a way in which
contributions to the Jewett Memorial Library would be considered tax
exempt by the Federal Government. This ,vas one of the principal reasons
for establishing t~he Jewett Memorial Library, Inc. We discovered that
one way was to give th,e library to the town as a municipal library. This
eouid be done under certain conditions, but these eonditions might inclu:de limitations on gifts made to the town directly.
So it appears better to seek contributions ultinlately to be made to the Jewett Mem'orial
Library, Inc., for ,ve would then have control of the funds to be used to
build a town library. As late as this December 18th, a revised application
for the exemption has been filed which we h'ope will be acted upon favorably by the Federal government. You shall hear from us soon after we
receive the anticipated exemption.
There is a limited supply of Castleton China plates, with Jewett
Coat-of-Arms in eolor, offered at $8.50, including insured mailing. Send
your request to me.

;Jew~ett
WillaI'ld Jewett (the eighth child in a family of ten) was the son
of Isaac Jewett, (seventh in the ancestral line) who w,as born in Hollis,
N. H., July 5, 1763. r:Dhe boy 1saac lived in Temple, N. H., until he became 25 years of age,.and soon after, on Nov. 27,1788, married in Wilton,
N. H., Mary Chandler, eldest daughter of Ebenezer and Mary (Burnap)
Chandler of Wilton.
They settled on a farm in Nelson, N. H., situated
on a hill about midway on the cros,s road between Munsonville (a p'art of
Nelson) and Nelson villa.ge, where they had ten children,and where she
died Dec. 11, 1845. He died there Nov. 20, 185 2. The place where they
were buried is unknown to this writer, but since a e:areful survey of both
the Nelson C:enter and MUIlJsonville cemeteries has not revealed any indicaJtion of being buried in either pl,ace, it is quite na:tural to p1resume that
they were taken to Hollis, N. H., where he w'a.s born, and where many of
his ancestral rel'atives are buried.
Willard Jewett wa,s born in Nelson, Nov. 2'2, 1805.
He m·arried
Isrt., May 2,9, 1832, in N'elson, his c.ousin; Elvire Blodget, daughter of
Nath1aniel and Hannah (Chandler) Blodget, born Aug. 5, 1808.
She
died in N el:son Aug. 5, 1836, jUrst 28 years old. He married 2nd., June 13 ,
1837, Mrs. Mary (Kittredge) Livermore, born Jan. 19, 1812,and died--in
Nelson, May 18, 1883, at the age of 71 years and 4 months. He h'ad nine
chiLdren, two by his fir.st wife, and seven by his second wife. He was a
farmer and his hom(estead was near the junction of the Co:ncord, Nelson
Ce,nter, and Olld Nelson roads, and was long in the f.amily. But the house
now standing there is not the original, that burned down in a tragic
fire, Nov. 15, 1865.
Quite interestingly I found record·eld;·~in one of, Father '8 old diaries
on a memoranda page; "This was whal wasp,ut int6.,the paper. Nelson.
T'he dwelling house of Mr. Willard Jewett, WHIS destroyed by fire on
Wednesday night last, while the £amily were all absent.
All of Mr.
J erwett '8 grain and part of his hou'sehrold goods were burned. N,o insurance". Father very thoughtfully clipped and saved that newspaper
item, it wrus in the flap-pockert of his dirary cover, where he had put it.
Feather wa1s only seventeen years old at the time and it made a deep impression on him, this we know becaulse he goes on to write; "I w'as second
to go into the house, Mr. Taylor first, the wind was southwest at the time,
in a few hours we were burned out of house and home. We were turned
out doors in the middle of the night with no plac,e we could call OUIhome." On the opposite page in his diary he wrote; "Guess it will be better to write it with ink. Father's house was burnt to the ground on the
evening of Nov. 15th 1865. We had gone away. Father and mother had
gone to Mr. Hardy's and I was to Mr. Pages. I saw it soon after it brooke
out, it broke out in the south side of the house at the window in the kitClhen.
Frank, Nancie and A.sshel had ~one tlo Hillsboro.
A few
things were s'aved.
No insurance. ..Loss was thot to be 2,000 dollars.
We lived at Frank Hardy's after t'he hou:se was burnt". It was rebuilt
the follo'ving summer and was ready for occup'ancy by the first of O'cto-ber.
This new house was designed for tw,o ramilie,s, with an ell and
kitchen on each end. After Frank K., his son was married, he moved intrO one tenement where he live,d and cared for his parents as long as they
lived. Soon afterw,ards he sold the old homestead and moved to Keene
in order that his dau,gh.ter might have better school advantages.
Will
have more detail on this under nu'mber six (6).
