Biography

Birth

Eli Jewett was born at Littleton, Massachusetts, on 20 Jun 1801, the son of Israel Houghton Jewett and Susanna (Wood) Jewett.[1]

Move to New Hampshire

By 1840, Eli Jewett had settled at Alstead, New Hampshire, and was living there in a household that included a male aged 30 to 40, a male aged 15 to 20, and a female aged 50 to 60.[2] In 1850, Eli Jewett, 47, laborer, was living at Alstead with Mary Jewett, 67, both born in Massachusetts.[3]

Marriage

Eli Jewett and Adeline Severance), both of Alstead, New Hampshire, married there on 30 Nov 1852.[4] In 1860, Eli Jewett, 59, Adaline Jewett, 47, and Adeline's mother, Sarah Severance, 81, were living and farming at Alstead.[5] In 1870, Eli Jewett, 69, and Adeline Jewett, 57, were living at Alstead with May S. Jewett, 15 (see the Research Note below), and Eli was employed as a mail carrier.[6] In 1880, Eli Jewett, 78, and Adeline M. Jewett, 67, were living at Alstead (with two boarders), and Eli was described as a stage proprietor.[7]

Death

Eli Jewett died from paralysis at Alstead, New Hampshire, on 10 Aug 1883, with his age recorded as 82.[8]

Research Note

The identity of the May S. Jewett, age 15, who was living with Eli and Adeline Jewett at Alstead, New Hampshire, in 1870[6] is unknown. She could have been their daughter; Adeline would have been about 42 at May's birth, still within the childbearing years, but May does not appear with the family in the 1860 Census, when she would have been five years old. No other records have been found of May, and her relationship to Eli and Adeline Jewett remains unknown. (Research Note by WikiTree contributor Stu Bloom, 27 Feb 2022)
