Greetings From The President To The
Minutes of Directors' Meeting
Members Of The Jewett Family Of America
August 25, 1973
The Easterly Inn, Gloucester, Mass.
Dear Kinsmen :
Once a year, through the medium
of the J ewett Family Year Book, we
have an opport unity to exchange
news a nd interesting historical facts
about the J ewett family. We have a
chance to take pride in the accomplishmen ts of our members and to announce marriages, births and 'd eaths
as they are reported to us. To do this
in a n effective way, we need your contributions, for this is your Year Book,
about your family. Your news items
about reunions, promotions, travel
and family achievements combine to
form the running record of the history
of the J ewetts in America. Pictures
of curren t or historical interest add
much to this publication and are appreciated. Contributions should be
sent to the Editor, Mrs. Dorothy
J ewett Stitt.
Your Board of Directors met in Gloucester, Mass. in August of t his
past year and outlined certain goals for the next few yea rs. Steps will be
taken to broaden the active participation of the members of t he Board in
order to develop new ways of serving the members. T en tative plans a re
being laid for a reunion in the Rowley area in 1976 during the country's
bicentennial celebration. You could help expand the scope of this activity
by giving a membership to your children and other relatives having a
Jewett background.
The treasury of the ] ewett Family is still solvent, but, because of
increasing expenses, we would like to remind Life Members to send $1.00
each year to the Treasurer to help cover the costs of the Year Book. Only
»
in this way can we maintain its present standards.
Toujours le Meme,
Clifford L. Jewett, President,
The Jewett Family of America.

The meeting was called to order at 10 :00 A:\11, President Clifford L.
Jewett presiding.
T hirteen members were present and voting; namely, Clifford L. J ewett,
John ]. Gilbert, Willard J ewett, Everett D. Jewett, Edna P. J ewett,
Roger Jewett, Evelyn 0. Burlingame, Dorothy J. Stitt, Albert W. Haley,
Elizabeth E. J ewett, Stephen S. J ewett, Alan Jewet t and Malburne J.
Peabody.
P roxy votes were received from t he following: Hugh S. Jewett, George
F. Jewett, Jr. , Porter J . .Perkins a nd Herschel C. Jewett.
A welcome was extended to our new board members; Malburne J.
Peabody and Alan J ewett.
Invocation was given by Roger J cwett .
The Secretary's report was accepted as presented.
The Treasurer's report was read and accepted.
T he Auditor's report was given.
The Corresponding Secretary's report was given informing us of the
various Jewett Family Reunions in the States, a nd sharing with us some of
the letters received from our members. We do appreciate hearing from the
members.
Under old business, the results of placing an ad in the DAR magazine
was reported as favorable and it was voted to purchase a similar ad again
(the cost of which was not to exceed Sl0.00).
T he subject of the By-Laws revisions came up again in this meeting,
a nd John J. Gilbert volunteered to work on them ("Jack" Gilbert is an
attorney and has a good understanding of these matters). He will report
back to the board at our next meeting.
Under . 'ew business, Lhe first i tern was the yearbook. !\·I uch work and
expense is required, bu t a ll boRrd members feel that t he Yearbook is probably the most important t hing we do for it keeps us in touch with a ll
members of the ' 'Family". Rules fo r acceptance of a rticles (guidelines),
cut-off dates and much more was discussed . It was finally agreed by all
that our Editor, Dorothy Jewett Stitt, should have full and complete
control of content matter used, etc. Dorot hy is trained and skilled in her
work and we appreciate her willingness to take on this formidable assignment. (Read t he Edi tor's 1 ote).
Albert W. Haley, who made the arrangements for this meeting, expressed his appreciation for t he la rge number attending. (Many of. our
directors travel many miles at some expense to carry on the Family's
business). I t was thought that a membership committee might be beneficial,
so Presiden t Clifford L. J ewett appointed John J. Gilbert Chairma n of.such
a committee. Roger Jewett made the motion that the FamilJ:: contribute
twenty-five ($25.00) dollars annuall y to the Essex I nstitute, Research
Library, Salem, Mass. (This is where the J ewett Records are llO\V kept).
(5}
The same was voted. The Board requested the Secretary and the Corresponding Secretary to prepare a membership roster by states. Recognition was made of Family members deceased since our last meeting, and a
moment of silence was observed in their memory. In view of the increased
cost of publishing the yearbook and the higher costs in postage, printing,
etc., the motion was made and seconded that the annual dues be ra ised to
five ($5.00) dollars (including the yearbook subscription), a nd it was so
voted. The formation of an Executive Board to (unction between annual
meetings was discussed, and tabled until our next meeting.
Roger J ewett, Chairman of the Nominating Committee, read the report
of his committee recommending the re-election of all present officers and
directors for another year. T here being no further nominations, it was
so voted.
Roger J ewelt spoke on the activities planned for the rest of t he day;
which were, a visit to Hammond Castle in the afternoon and a char ter boat
ride from Gloucester to Marblehead in the evening.
I t was suggested that we meet next year around the middle of September, possibly on Saturday, the 14th, in Williamsburg, Va. Ma lburne
J. Peabody will make the arrangements. (His home is in Virginia) .
The next Family Reunion will be in the summer of 1976 to coincide
with the Bi-Centennia l activities in the nation. Roger Jewett was asked to
co-ordina te same nnd form a committee to help him in his task.
There being no fur ther business, the meeting was adjourned at 12 :25
PJVI.
Respectfully submitted,
Willard Jewett, Secretary
:\ote--Gloucester celebrated its 350th anniversary on the weekend
your Board of Directors met, so they also were able to see a 3-mile parade
attended by 50,000 people, and featuring bands from a ll New England as
well as one band from G loucester, )J. J.; and a 23-foot replica of a seaserpent such as one that reportedly visited Gloucester in 1817. Hammond
Castle was fascinating, the cruise down the shore delightful, and a ll the
food del icious-especially that picnic supper prepared for the cruise b y
Evelyn, the lovely wife of Roger Jewett. All Board members and their fam ilies appreciate the hospi tality of the local Cousins.
T o look to the fu ture- we are compiling a list of 1ewetts in the Revolution. Would you please send your Ancestor 's name and any facts abou t
him ? We do not want to overlook a ny Patriot.
Are you a member of the SAR or DAR? Join, for the sake of your
descendants. With '76 in the offing, it would be a shame for you not to be
counted and recorded. Almost every Jewett can easily prove his ancestry
with the aid of the books entitled. "History a nd Genealogy of the J ewetts
of America," by forederic Cla rke Jewett. These volumes a re accepted by
all genealogical societies. The DAR and SAR have much J ewett material.
The Mormon .genealogical repository at Salt Lake City has vast records.
Our own fam ily records a rc available at Essex Institute. The U.S. Government reports that genealogy is the No. 1 recreation in the country today.
Enjoy the completion of your records. Everybody has ancestors!
T oujour le mcme'- Oorothy Jewett Stitt (M rs. J ames W. Stitt), Editor.

AUDITOR'S REPORT
T he above accounts have been audited by me. I find that the receipts ,
bank ba lances and records agree with the above report.
PORTER J. PERKINS, Auditor
(7}
Everett Douglas And Edna Jewett
"Finally, Father fell ill, and I took the Secretary's book home to work
on. I never was able to return the book. Father died 10 days later."
Cornerstones Of The Jewett Family
And so Everett came into the job of co-ordinating all the aspects of the
Jewett Family.
Deacon Jewett was steeped in Family lore, and remembered it so well.
Everett said, "Papa-my Dad- kept everything in his head. But I began
to gather things. I gathered everything up to 1962 that is in the Essex
Institute today concerning the J ewetts."
Everett Douglas Jewett is a charter
member of the Jewett Family of America,
Inc., although he was not yet ten years old
when he joined.
Everett had a lot of living to do before he would take over his Father's
job. Born Sep't 25, 1900, the son of Amos Everett and Ada Louisa (Forbes)
Jewett, he grew up in Rowley, Mass. He married Edna P. Towne of Newburyport, Mass. on June 2, 1925. They were blessed with seven children:
Everett Grenville, Alfred Douglas, Walter Amos, Dorothy Edna, Judith
Louise, Edward, and Natalie Towne. They have 30 grandchildren-28
survive-and six great-grandchildren.
As Everett said, "My Father, Deacon
Amos Everett Jewett, joined me to the Family Association'" His Father was the newly
elected Recording Secretary.
These even ts took place at the July 7,
1910 Family Reunion, the first Family Reunion in SS years, and at this time the Incorporation was decided upon.
He farmed the family farm for many years. This is the same land the
Jewetts settled in 1639. He worked for Boston-Edison until 1942; for the
Ipswich Light Dep't 1943-1962. He took over his Father's book business
in 1954, and he was the Agent, Essex County Soil Conservation Dep't. to
1969.
Notes of the 1910 Reunion refer to "the
noble 86" who responded to the letter suggesting the Reunion. The Deacon was among
these, and in the ensuing meeting at Rowley,
he was elected Recording Secretary. In two
years, at the Aug. 22, 1912 Reunion, Everett's
Father was to be elected Secretary and Treasurer, an office he held for 36 years.
From that day, the pattern of Everett's
life was set, although he did not yet know it.
Everett has been President, Secretary-Treasurer, Director for Life,
Historian, Year Book Editor of the Family; a Mason, a member of John T.
Heard Lodge, AF and AM, Ipswich, Mass; and Deacon of the Byfield Parish
Church.
Everett Douglas J ewett
of Rowley, Mass.
A Director for Ii fe.
Everett said, in reminiscing at the 1972 Board of Directors' meeting,
"My Father talked Jewett Family all the time. As he got older, he worried
over the Family, and worried over who wou1d take over the position of
Secretary and Treasurer."
Until 1948, Everett resisted any temptation to take on a large Jewett
Family responsibility. He was a busy, hard-working husband and father of
seven children.
Then, in his words, "My 86-year-old Father talked and worried to me
daily about the Family. Finally, one day in 1948, after some comn~nts of
his, I turned to him and asked, 'Do you want me to be Secretary-Treasurer ?' "
Deacon Jewett's answer was a forceful, ''Yes." Subsequently, the
Board of Directors voted Everett Secretary-Treasurer.
"
Still, Everett was not actively engaged in Family business. He says,
My Father never turned over the books to me or anything. He only had
me endorse checks, or sign certificates for new members.
( 8)
When Everett became active in the Family, his lovely wife, Edna, took
up the Family work with him. She has served faithfully and fully through
the years, and remembers promising the Deacon that she would help with
the Family affairs as long as she was able. She is still helping, serving as
Corresponding Secretary over the years, and in a myriad of other ways.
She is also Past Regent of Agawam Chapter, DAR, at Ipswich, Mass., and
is in the Women's Guild and Choir of Byfield Parish Church.
Everett and his Father compare closely. Any who know Everett are
aware of his complete dedication to, and knowledge of, the Jewett Family.
Now please read the remarks of the 1912-1913 Year Book Committee concerning his Father, the Deacon:
"No Jewett has ever attended the reunions who has not made the
acquaintance of Deacon Jewett. He is the man in charge at Rowley. The
affairs of the Family are uppermost in his mind. He points out the site of
historic family residences. He knows the boundaries of their farms, the
location of the old wells. He is a walking encyclopedia of all that pertains to
the Jewett Family; history, life, and traditions. As some one said at the
last reunion, 'What would the Jewett Family do without the Deacon?' "
What would the Jewett Family do without Everett and Edna Jewett?
They are a lways the same-Toujours le Meme'.

Part of a delightful 1973 Christmas letter from J ewett Family Director
George F. (Fritz) Jewett, Jr., of San Fra ncisco, Cal. reads:
" Willkommen t" the Burgermeister of Saulheim greeted us as we
descended from our chartered bus. The Liederkranz Men's Choir was
drawn up on the fron t steps of the Sangerhalle which was decorated with
long banners ; at a signal, the men burst into song. From that point on
the t wenty-two cousins from the United Sta tes were the guests o f this
small town in West Germany near Mainz where great-gra nd father 'Neyerhae~ser came from. We toured local vineyards and a winery; tasted · wine
until we were awash, a te too muc~ , listened to excellent singing, and were
made honorary members of the L1ederkranz.
Actually, th is was the beginning of an E ast African safari with the
Howie Meadowcroft and T ed Weyerhaeuser families. There were eleven
children ranging irt age from seven to nineteen and six parents. We made a
circ:uit starting at Nairobi !llostly camping near K ilimanjaro, in the Serengeti, ~Iara Game Re~erve &nd at Lake Baringo. This was the Jewett's third
safan but the first time for the others. The game was cooperative and we
got some super pictures in addition to getting to know each other better
than ever.
This trip was a high point in the year, but other events are fun to recollect as well. Spring vacation was spent on a charter sailboat cruising the
Grenadines fr~m St. 'v'.i~cent to _Grenada . Betsy and George each had a
fn end who enjoyed sailmg, particularly when being dunked in the ocean
from a bosun's chair hung out over the rail!

All members of the J ewett Family should have a great interest in the
America's Cup races in September, 1974, and the trials off Newport, R. I.
in July and August. George F. (Fritz) Jewett, Jr. (10362), one of the Directors of the Jewett Fam ily of America, is a 1/ 3 owner of the " Intrepid, "
two-time winner of the America's Cup, which will be among the yachts
competing for the right to defend the trophy.
In the Spring of 1973, FritZ, George Schuchart, and Charles Hughes,
all yachting friends on the West Coast, purchased the " Intrepid," and
soon announced plans for a West Coast Bid for the premier prize in yachting
under the banner of fntrepid/West.
Like many others, the three West Coast yachtsmen had deep feelings
that t he sailing fraterni ty on the Pacific slope is blessed with the skill,
leadership and support needed to mount such a major effort and make it a
success.
But, from excerpts of letters to Roger Jewett, one of our Honorary
Directors for Life, let Fritz tell the story in his own words:
Christmas, 1973- The I ntrepid is now being rebuilt to a new design
in San Diego, a crew is being selected and the necessary funds are being
raised. It appears there will be four American boats in contentions with the
challengers from E ngland, Fra nce and Australia.
Be sure to root for Intrepid in the trials off Newport, R . I. next July
and August, so we can be there in September of the actual America's Cup
races.
February, 1974- When we bought Intrepid, the inventory included
33 bags of Hood sails, a nd I understand that Hood will help with any recutting or refurbishing of these sails.
The Intrepid is due to be shipped back to Newport on June S, and we
hope to take up residence ourselves around the 4th of July. 1 am planning

Mrs. Paul L. (Vivian Seay) .\Iixter of West Palm Beach , Fla., died
Nov. 1, 1973. She was the widow of the late Paul L. :.Vlixter of the Mattie
Jewett Mixter line. One d aughter, Particia Ann, of West Palm Beach ,

Vernie Coffey Seay of Amherst Co., Va. T he Seays were one of the First

very beautiful and outstanding vocalist.
on takin~ a. leave of ~bsen.ce f.rom my company for the period of the race:; a:;,
to me, this 1s. <1; once-in-a-ltfet1me opportunity to participate in the America's
Cup compet1t1on.
(Editor's note: Frilz is senior vice president, administration of the
Potlatch Corporation, San Francisco, Cal. )
'
April, 1974--The boat has been launched and has been very finely
tu!'1ed. The crew had two ~raining sessions, with two to go before the boat is
shipped back to Ne\\'port 111 June. The first series of trials starts June 24.
T here may be some races a rranged with the old Colombia before
~n trepid is shipped East. T his will be very helpful in whipping the crew
mto shap~ .
An article in the Jan. 21, 1974 issue of Sports lllustrated tells more
about the great 12-meter yacht.
In order to achieve broad suppor t of all interested friends and ''Sailors",
the tax-exempt Seattle Sailing Foundation entered the picture. Tn October,
the Intrepid was turned over to the Foundation, and a special committee
'
including Fritz J ewett, is overseeing the projec t.
After the America's Cup campaign is over, Intrepid will be returned to
the West Coast where it will be used as something of a training yacht to
expose more sailors to what Fritz' partner George Schuchart terms 1•the
ultimate in sailing."
Mr. Schuchart said, " Its the ultimate goal of all who sail to get aboard
a ~ 2- i\i~eter, and that's our !<lea .. v".e'? )i~e the Et~le guy to want to join in
this effort, too, and to feel like th is is l11s boat. We want to provide sailing
aspirants something to sail on a fter the America's Cup- rather than dc'commissioning the boat and storing it in a shed and letting it go to dryrot.
Contributions may be sent to the Seattle Sailing Foundation- Intrepid/ West Project, 1807 East Hamlin St. , Seattle, Wash. , 78102.
People living in California may prefer to send their contribution to
California International Sailing Association, 747 East Green St., Pasedena,
Cal. , 91101, with the amount designated for the Intrepid/\Vest Project.
Mr. Schuchart says, " We know by tank-testing that the boat is immeasureably faster than in 1967 or 1970. T he role played by the American
defender this year should be the most formidable ever mounted in 12--' leters.
'vVe've got our work cut out for us. It's scary!
"T he America's Cup is the purest form of a well-defined international
competition, and that says a lot- it 's saying this is t he best we've got
against your best, whoever you may be.
"The responsibility in such a venture cannot be underestimated because you must understand that the Cup has been sucessfu llv defended
since 1851.
"The commitmen t must be based solely on whatever is best !or the
effort-crew, sails, equipment - the paramount thing is whatever is necessary for the bo~t-witho1!t.any co1~1 promise. There can be no comprom ise
when you consider the difference m boat speeds to be about 2/5ths of a
second a mile.
Fritz J ewett is excited and delighted with the whole ven ture and he
writes to thank his J ewett Family for their interest and good wishes'. Jewett
Family of America- Arise! Yo-ho-ho, three cheers-and a barrel of good
wishes for Fritz a nd t he In trepid!

Jewett (daughter of Frank Greenwood Jewett Jr.); and Pauline Pierce
i\tl ulholland, the guest of honor.
Pauline is our "Eastern" cousin. She is the widow of John :vl ulholland,
the magician, and has lived nearly all of her life in New York City. She is
a most interesting and exciting person, and enticing her to leave her beloved
New York and travel all the way to California, that never-never land, was
a major achievement. She is the daughter of Sarah Louise Johnson Pierce
(4244) who was the daughter of Ann Wilder Jewett Johnson (2406) who
was the namesake of Ann Wilder Jewett Cullen.
Another major achievement was catching Wells' sister, Ann Wilder
Jewett Cullen, on her way from Australia to ;vlinneapolis and betwee.11
trips to the Antarctic last winter and the Arctic next winter, and many
other fantastic places, as a "birder" of near professional proportions.
As most of their guests traveled from San Francisco, Portland, Kansas
City, Minneapolis, New York and Australia, all arriving the same evening,
Wells and Mary Jewett were indeed very flattered!

THE SAN FRANCISCO AREA JEWETT FAMILY REUNION
The Thanksgiving Family Reunion of the San Francisco area J ewetts
was held at the Blue Dolphin, a restaurant bordering San Francisco Bav
and about 20 miles from the old Burr home.
,
Dinner was served in a private room at which time two chefs carved
and served the turkey for the group, and, afterward, all adjourned to the
Burr Mansion in Hayward.
Along with the evening's pleasant visiting, another light repm;t was
served. Travel pictures of various men'ibers were shown. Also time was
given over to somewhat serious and solid talks, and papers were read,
such as those from remarks of Dr. Richard Evans of the Salt Lake :Vlormon
Tabernacle.
Unfortunately, no pictures were taken of the group, which consisted
of about 40 relatives and in-laws, although some movies were taken . Also
there were shown old motion pictures of members of the .T ewett Family
dated back between 20 and 30 years. These annual Thanksgiving Gatherings have been held for over 80 years, and as many as 65 to 70 relatives and
friends have attended at one time according to the recollection of Mr.
Hugh S. Jewett, a member of the Jewett Family Board of Directors.

I am very fortunate in having much
information about my family's past. Good
and accurate records were kept on each
and every one, and many little anecdotes
are recorded which make my forebearers
come alive to me. For this reason I find it
difficult to know which one to write about
first, but perhaps the most interesting
one (for others to read abo1;1t) is my greatgrandfather, Amory Jewett, Jr.
Amory Jr. was born in Lexington,
Massachusetts on J anuary 17, 1833, the
first born child of Amory (3 165) and Elizabeth Lucy (Diewaide) Jewett. He had
three brothers and two sisters. His father
was a carpenter and cabinet maker who
worked at the Charlestown Navy Yard
(at one time fitting all the doors on the U.S.
Cumberland) where he was injured by
slipping from a ladder and the resulting
A1nory .Jewett, .Jr.
infection caused the amputation of his
foot and ankle.
Young Amory witnessed the attempts made with an artificial foot and
ankle for his father, and he was in constant attendance to him. As a result

Biography
AMORY JEWETT, JR. (5617)
By Willard Jewett, Sec. & Treas.,
The Jewett Family of America, Inc.
the doctor who had the case recommended that young Amory become a
doctor. In 1868, after serving in t he Union Army, he att ended and gr ad uated from medical school. T he family t hen lived in the new brick ho use at
1074 Washington Street, Boston, .\fassachusetts, on the corner of Camde n
P lace.
Tbe new lJr. Amory Jewett, Jr. settled in the small town of Ashburnham, \lassachusetts, a nd there set up his fi rst practice. He had a good and
successful practice there, and persuaded his parents to lllove to Ashb urnham
too. He was invited into a partnership with Dr. H. H . Brigham, of Fitchburg, .\lassachusetts (this city's oucstaudiog physician and surgeon) where
there wou ld be greater opportunities, fees, etc., but before this was realized
the fi rst of many misfortunes which were to follow him throughou t his
professional life now occurred .
(Quoting now frolll my grand father's, Dr. \1'/illiam A. J ewett, at:t:oun t
of his father's misfor t une):
Abaga il P orLer fi rst and she had died three months and fo ur days later
(another of t he misfor tunes which seemed to follow this gentle man).
N ex t was the hotel business. :\mory's brother·in· law, Charles E.
Campbell of N ew Castle, New Ha mpshire, who had married Sarah E lisebet h P orter, owned a beautiful part of the shoreline in :\ew Castle and here
in 1874 he built the original Hotel Wentworth (about one-third part of the
presen t build ing). Dr. Amory (using funds left by his grandmother Rand )
invested in this proposition, and the hotel was operated by Campbell &
J ewett, Proprietors. T he original hotel had eighty-two rooms, and cost
a bout $50,000.00. The accessability to the hotel from the port of Poru;m outh , New Hampshire was not too good in those days (a bridge was later
built, cha nging this situation) , travel was by stage, a nd road condiLions in
general were not conducive to tourist travel. By 1879 funds ha d run ou t
and the pa r t ne rs were forced to sell.
I guess it was a case of being too early in their t iming a nd too li t lle iu
their funds available. But t he ir d ream was not in vain, for today there
stands t he presen t " Wen twor t h By The Sea", one of the best of the ma ny
fine resort hotels o n the ['.;cw E ngla nd coastline. Descendants of Cha rles
E . Campbell still reside in t he fami ly ho me \Yhicl1 is adja cent to t he hotel.
After this experience Amory, J r. rt:turned to the prac tice of medicine
again, in both Sterling a nd H ubbardston, :\fassachusetts (it was whe n the
famil y was living in ll ubbardston that m y grandfather n1et my grandmother). Dr. Amor y was persuaded during t his period , by Dr. E llis of
Somerville, i\'Iassachusetts, LO move to Somerville a nd take over the local
pha rmacy. So the family did move to Winter Hill , Somer ville where they
sta yed for several years. (we have his records; prescr iptions, compounds,
etc.)
llirthplacc of .\moq Jewell. J r., .Lexington, Mass.
l n failing he<Jth, and his wife having died, Amory, his daughter Ida
Diewaide and son John Porter moved to Barnard , Vermont, where Amory
practised medicine and the three of them conducted a small farm. They
raised horses, poultry, a nd berries, and made maple syrup . T here in Barnard
the good doctor died at the age of sixty-four. I Iis life, like many of ou rs,
had been a pattern of highs and lows, but he had fought the "good fighl"
and now it was done.
"Just then t here was a smallpox epidem ic in Ashburnham . Eleven
cases in the factories. i\l[y father attended t hem all. Eight cases survived,
and came out a ll right. Soon he came do\vn wit h Slllallpox himself. I
remember his going to Boston to help (professiona lly) Frank \la han who
was sick with sma llpox ; driving from Ashburnha m to Fi tchburg in a sleig h
during a heavy snow storm , t he sleigh t ipped over, the horse ran a wa y, a nd
he wa lked ha lf way to Fitc hburg too late to ca tch the tra in a nd too la t e
to help Fra nk '.\fa ha n who died two days later. My mother a nd )~ s tayed
in Ashburnha m a ll the t ime m y father was recovering.
Afte r that t he people of Ashburnham developed the idea that nobody
wa nted a "sma llpox doctor " (regardless of the success he had with his e ight
cases) . So t hen to Fitchburg a nd this vent ure was not a success for father
was not at a ll well d uring this period."

outlook. In this respect, it is believed to surpass any situation on the surrounding coasts, being higher above the sea-level than any point of seashore between Newburyport and Portland.
It is well known that the climate of this region has advantages over
that of any other on the New England seaboard. It is observed also that
here the east winds have little of that harsh, disagreeable "unfertile" and
penetrating quality said to belong to those of the coasts of Massachusetts
and Maine.
There is a pine grove directly behind the House on the western slope,
fi tted with swings and other conveniences for amusement and picnicking.
At the foot of this grove is a body of salt water about twent<y acres in extent,
almost land-locked, shallow, Juke-warm, suitable for those who cannot
bear the shock of a colder bath on the beaches, and a very proper place for
children's boating. There are sand beaches along Little Harbor side and
bath houses belonging to the Hotel.
The house is new, and no pains have been spared to make it comfortable
and convenient. There is gas in every room. The reading room, and
billiard room are large and well furnished.
Row boats, sail boats and sailors furnished at moderate charges.
Good fishing ground in every direction.

New Castle, N. H.
CAMPBELL & JEWETT, PROPRIETORS -
(There are two brochures printed in the 1870's that tell of this interesting old hotel. Here are exact excerpts from them.)
Nev..-castle, though apparently BO irregular in form, is in fact: very
regular, being almost a perfect square with ju tting points of land at the
four corners, like the bastions of a fort. l ts ancient name was Great Island.
ln 1693, in the reign of King William and :\Iary it \\' llS incorporated under
the name of Newcastle for the consideration of three peppercorns to be
paid annually. The town is largely in arrears to the British crown for
peppercorns, and owes not only these but its legal allegiance, never having
received any charter from the State of Ne\\' I fampshire. Here was the first
settlement of any consequence in ~e"· Hampshire, and for a long time it
was the seat of the Provincial Covern111ent and the centre of trade . ., There
are still remaining many relicB of its forn1er importance a nd prosperity, and
associations of historical and legendary in terest. The House is located
one mile from the village proper, on a high bluff-the highest point of land
in the Island, 80 feet above high " ·ater mark- on the shores of Little
Harbor. It overlooks the sea and the \\·hole surroundi ng country.
The Hotel has an unobstructed view of wide and various .inland, river
and ocean scenery. At night eight light-houses can be seen. There is not a
window in the House which does not command a pleasant and interesting
( 30)
The house is two-and-a-half miles from Portsmouth, fifty-six from
Boston, fifty-two from Portland and sixty from Concord.
Coaches will run twice each way daily, connecting with through
trains on all railroads. Carriages provided for special conveyance, or for
pleasure driving at reasonable prices. A fine stable attached to the House.
Prices from $1Q.SO to $15.00 a week depending on the size, location,
and number of persons, in a room.
Clothing Laundried in the best style.
Children under 12 years of age $7 .00 per. week.
Servant, and nurses, occupying seats in the Dining Hall to be charged
full price.
All rooms occupied less than 10 days, the regular transient price $3.00
a day, will be charged.
The Breakfast menu staggers the modern imagination. It offers four
different teas, and coffee and chocolate, elevex~ broiled meats and fishes,
eleven fried dishes, thirteen miscellaneous foods, from "dropped eggs" to
cucumbers; three cold dishes, and no less than flf teen breads.

Aside from command of different vessels, and occasional shore duty,
he was sent to. the United States to bring back some frigates being constructed here, agam for the purchase of ordinance and munitions, and still
again to oversee construction of a steam vessel. He also came north on sick
leave at least twice.
David Jewett And Masonry In Brazil
By James R. Case, 33°
From the Allocution of Sovereign
Gra nd Commander delivered to the
Supreme Council last September, we
learned that "to the far south, the
Supreme Council for Brazll ... joined
in events and activities commemorating the 150 th anniversary of the
year 1822 when Brazil became a
separate nation." Assisting in the
establishment or Brazilian independence that year was a ".\forte America1w" by the name of David Jewett,
whom the Brazilians "looked upon as
the Americans looked upon Lafayette." He was also the one who int roduced the Ancient and Accepted
Rite into the then Empire.
Jewett enjoyed the personal esteem of the Emperor and was recognized
for his ability as a training officer and disciplina rian. His portrait shows him
wearing no less than four medals and orders of the Empire.
During one visit to the United States, he was knighted in Washington
Commandery, Knights Templar, at a meeting in New London, where it
convened at 6 o'clock in the morning on October 18, 1826. He had been
made a Mason and passed in Wooster Lodge, No. 10, at Colchester decades
earlier, on August 7, 1793, and was the first brother to be raised at the
institution of Uriel Lodge, No. 24, then at Tolland, on the following night.
David Jewett
Born near New London, Connecticut, in 1772, Jewett bega n the study
of law under former Governor Griswold, but was offered the opportunity
to sail to the :Vled iterranean as supercargo on his uncle's merchant vessel.
He was so pleased with his first venture on the high seas that he forsook
the law, began to study navigation, and soon entered upon his life career ,
which was to be spent largely on salt water.
During the late 1790's, he was commissioned in the United States
:-.Javy, given command of a 20-gun vessel, the "Trumbull,'' and was in
West Indian waters when Haiti revolted from French rule. He rescued a
boa t load of refugees and brought them in to )Jew London, where they
were interned, some being sent to nearby l\orwich. Among the latter was
Pierre Boyer, a later presiclenl of Haiti. J e,,·ett was in possession of the
degrees of the Ancient and Accepted Rite and had documents to prove it.
He visited Somerset Lodge, left. some of his papers with loca l '.\ lasons, and
may have communicated some of the degrees to a selected few.
Leaving the naval service, Jewett entered the merchant ma rine, later
accepting employment in the navy of the Sta tes on t he Rio Plata. Logs
of his voyages to the Falkland Islands and Antarctica are a!l1ong the bases
for claims by Argentina to a sector in the south seas and the circumpolar
concinen~
~
On September 7, 1822, the Brazilian Independence Day, David Jewett
was in Lhe harbor of Rio de ] aniero, Aying the American flag on a ship
which he owned, named ";\·laipo." Dorn Pedro himself bought the vessel,
renamed it the "Caboclo," and engaged the service~ of Captain Jewett to
command the corvette. The first foreign officer to be commissioned in the
Brazilia n navy, Jewett was soon named Vice Admiral and held thaL rank
at the time of his death at Rio in 1842.
( 32)
Under date of November 3, 1826, David Jewett was elevated to the
Sublim.e Dignity of Deputy Grand Inspector General by DeWitt Clinton,
Sovereign Grand Commander, a nd clothed with the powers and authority
of Representative in and for the Brazilian Empire, of the Sovereign Grand
Consistory at New York (Cerncau). He was instructed to eleva te seven
Masons through the degrees up to and including the 32°, and then to establish a Grand Provincial Committee of Sublime Princes of the Royal Secret.
When all conditions were met, and a charter issued for a Grand Council,
S.P.R.S., in Brazil, Jewett would lose the individual and absolute powers
delegated to him, and revert to the status of Grand Representative.
The brother who was to deliver the patent died of yellow fever and his
personal effects were sold in New York. The warrant fell into the hands of a
tradesman who displayed it in his shop window. A :VIason saw it, bought it,
and returned to the Supreme Council, when it was sent along to the designee. For that reason it was not invoked until 1832, in which year a Brazilian became Chief of the Grand Council with Jewett as his assistant.
Before this time several "Rites" had been brought into Brazil but d id
not endure. Dom Pedro himself was a Mason but suppressed the order
soon after he became the Emperor. He later relented, perhaps being influenced to some extent by David Jewett. As a believer in strict Freemasonry, J ewett had opposed the attempt to inject politics into the fraternity. When efforts were made to conciliate and consolidate elements with
opposing ideas the plan did not have J ewett's approval.
In the last 150 years Freemasonry has come a long way forward in
Brazil. The Republic is the greatest in area, in population, and in resources
among. all the natio!ls of. th~ ~outh American con~inent. The Supreme
Council of the Scottish H.1te 1s 111 correspondence with our own Northern
J uris~iction of the United State~, and forty others. Craft ~\fasonry is
orgamzed under Grand Lodges 111 twenty states of the Federation. A
Masonic observance of the sesquicentennial was well justified.
