Biography

Jared was born in 1759. He passed away in 1850.

JARED DEWEY d. December 1850; m. Rachel Webster, d. June 12, 1858. He came to town (Hopkinton?) in 1802 with Roswell Hopkins and others. Mr. Hopkins married Jared Dewey's sister Lydia. It is accepted tradition that Mr. Hopkins gave him his choice of tracts for a farm. He could have had the Eliphahet Brush farm, but took a hundred acres a mile or so south from Nicholville on account of the fine springs on it. His son, William W. Dewey, ninety-one years of age, claims that his father cut the first tree in Hopkinton on the farm of Joel Goodell. Dr. Hough's history gives him the credit for this act. He resents with some indignation the claim for this act by any other. The record of the family is very incomplete, but it is the best I have been able to obtain. Had five children: Ira B., b. in Vermont, August 31, 1804; d. young. Diadama, b. February 24, 1808; d. June 12, 1888; m. Aaron T. Smith in 1844 (second wife); d. in Minnesota in 1896.

George W. Sheldon. Rhoda M., 1. Western, Minn; m. I. J. Brown. William B., 1. Western, Minn.; m. Ella M. Toombe. Sally, b. July 19, 1812; m. Benjamin Page.
