Iv. Herbert, b. May 9, 1834. His business experience has been chiefly at the writing-desk. He has held several positions of responsibility and trust, and has never failed to reflect the high example of integrity which was constantly before him in boyhood. He received a liberal academical edu- cation, at the conclusion of which he became an accountant in Ashburnham, where he remained until 1860. In November, 1861, he was ap- pointed a clerk in the Treasury Department in Washington, where he held successively clerk- ships of the first, second and third classes. In 1865 he was promoted to a cashiership of Inter- nal Revenue in one of the New York city districts. The duties of this responsible position which he held until June, 1868, were performed in a manner that gave proof of discipline and executive ability. In these various posts of the civil service, he had the confidence and regard of those who knew him. Subsequently for a few years he was an accountant for the Fitchburg Paper Company, in Fitchburg, Mass. He is now a resident of Boston, and is treasurer of the New Bedford division of the Boston, Clinton and Fitchburg Railroad ; cashier of the New Bedford Railroad Company ; and treasurer of the Fram- ingham and Lowell Railroad Company.
By nature of a discriminating mind and refined taste, he has profitably occupied his leisure hours in an extensive reading of the best authors, and is a thorough and cultivated student of English literature. The essays and occasional poems from his pen, which have been printed, presented thought without ostentation, and pure diction without studied adornment. Had circumstances left him free to follow his inclination, undoubtedly he would more fre- quently give expression to his thought in the refined prose or finished verse which characterize all that he has written. In character he is as truthful as the figures which occupy his business hours, and in friendship both trustful and enduring.
DEXTER JEWELL, son of Jacob and Mary (Smith) Jewell, was b. in Marlboro, Mass., June 24, 1803. His parents removed from Marlboro to Jaffrey. He md. Dec. 29, 1829, Mary Mower, dau. of Dea. Josiah Mower, of Jaffrey, and removed from Jaffrey to Rindge 1850.

JEWETT.
JEWETT.
The record of the Jewett family in this country commences with the settlement of Rowley, Mass. In 1638, about sixty families, led by Rev. Ezekiel Rogers, eminent in the annals of New England, came from Yorkshire, England, and by them the town of Rowley was planted early in the following year. Among these emigrants were the brothers Maxi- millian and Joseph Jewett, men of good estate, from Bradford, York- shire, England. From them the multitude of Jewetts in this country are descended, among whom are included many persons of distinction in professional, mercantile, and industrial pursuits. The name appears in ancient records as Juet, Juit, Jewit, and in other forms, but in all pre-

serving a common pronunciation. The Coat-of-Arms in possession of individuals of the family in this country is also found among the records of their ancestors in England. Dea. Maximillian Jewett, the ancestor of the Rindge family, was the son of Edward Jewett, of Brad- ford, England, who md. 1604, Mary Taylor. He d. 1616, leaving three sons and one dau. Dea. Maximillian was bap. Oct. 4, 1607, and d. in Rowley, Mass., Oct. 19, 1684. He was made one of the first two deacons of the church in Rowley, Dec. 3, 1639, and was admitted freeman May 13, 1640, and was a representative 1641 and sixteen subsequent years. Dea. Ezekiel Jewett, eldest child of Dea. Maximillian, was b. Feb. 1, 1643; md. Feb. 21, 1663-4, Faith Parrot, by whom he had seven sons and three daus. He was chosen deacon Oct. 24, 1686, and was represent- ative 1690; he d. Sept. 2, 1723; his wife d. Oct. 15, 1715. Thomas Jewett, second son of Dea. Ezekiel, was b. Sept. 20, 1666; md. May 18, 1692, Hannah Swan, and settled in Boxford, and upon a tract of land then owned by his father, but which subsequently fell to his possession by the will of his father dated 1723, and recorded in the Essex Probate Registry. He had five children. Ezekiel, the only son, was b. Jan. 12, 1692-3, and d. about 1772. He md. Jan. 10, 1718, Martha Thurston, of Newbury. No record of a will or settlement of his father's estates is found. Being an only son, he probably resided upon the homestead. From ancient deeds in the possession of his descendants, and from the records, it appears that he owned several tracts of land in Rindge and in Winchendon. The number of his children was twelve, three of whom settled in Rindge, and are named hereafter. Dea. Edward Jewett, of Rindge, was a descendant of Joseph (a brother of Dea. Maximillian), who was b. in England 1609; d. in Rowley 1661. The family of Dea. Edward Jewett, of Rindge, became extinct with the death of his dau., the wife of Ezra Scollay.
1 EZEKIEL JEWETT, sixth child of Ezekiel and Martha (Thurston) Jewett, of Boxford, Mass., and eldest of the three brothers who settled in this town, was b. Feb. 22, 1727. At an early date he was a proprietor of lot number fifty, now the farm of Dr. Charles E. Ware, in the Rowley Canada township, which had been chartered by the General Court of the Province of Massachusetts. Here previous to 1753 he reared a house and planted an orchard. Vide pages 34 and 35. His title to this land being lost, he subsequently purchased the same property of the Masonian grantees, or the proprietors of Monad- nock No. One. He was engaged in the French and

After their return from the marriage ceremony, which was performed in Hollis, N. H., the journey from her former to her future home was made in a log canoe across the pond

and by marked trees through the forest, where now is located the track of the Monadnock Railroad. Her parents presented the young wife with one chair and one bed ; her husband furnished a few rude utensils and five army blankets, and with these conveniences their married life was begun. Their first babe was b. in the month of April. Their store of maple sugar was first made, and then the sap-trough was employed for a cradle, in which the sleep of the infant was presumably sweet. They were prospered in their primitive home, and acquired a considerable estate and many of the comforts of life. He was a man of ability, and in character above reproach. He d. Feb. 7, 1786, at the age of fifty-nine years. His widow, surviving him about forty-four years, d. at the homestead, Sept. 13, 1830.
