DEA. EDWARD JEWETT, of Rindge, the sixth genera- tion from Edward, of Rowley-a brother of Dea. Maxi- millian Jewett, - was b. in Concord, Mass., Nov. 29, 1741. He md. Oct. 31, 1765, Dorcas Gates, of Stow, and removed to this town 1769 or 1770. Few men, if any, have been more prominently connected with the town's history. For many years he was often engaged as master of the gram- mar schools, and was employed from time to time in all the early districts in the town. He was a selectman fourteen years, town clerk seven years, and was often chosen to serve his townsmen in other capacities. During the Revolution he was twice in the ranks (pages 108, 136), but his record is more con- spicuous in his frequent attendance in conventions and meetings of committees of safety. For many years he was a justice of the peace, and probably no citizen of this town has drawn an equal number of legal papers. In 1780 he was elected a deacon of the church, and con- tinued in office forty-five years. He d. Jan. 12, 1825, aged 83; his widow d. Sept. 7, 1829, aged 82.
