Biography

Daniel Jewett, Isaac Stickney, Deacon Jonathan Burpee, Jeremiah Burpee, Richard Estey, Sr., Richard Estey, Jr., Joseph Barber, Jacob Barber, Joseph Lesley and John Pickard, all except Daniel Jewett heads of families from Rowley; a number of young men from Boxford, Nehemiah Howard of Reading, Samuel Bridges of Marblehead, Capt. Francis Peabody and family, and the families of Mr. Smith and Mr. Saunders, all left Massachusetts and settled in Maugerville [1]., Nova Scotia (present day New Brunswick), in 1761 or 1762.

He married at Maugerville, on August 18,1767, Mrs. Abigail Saunders and lived in Sheffield, New Brunswick. [2]

It is said by his descendants, that before her marriage to Mr. Saunders Daniel Jewett fell in love with Abigail (her maiden name was Thurston) and asked her to be his wife; she refused him on the grounds that she was to marry Mr. Saunders. He replied, "Never mind Abbie, I will have you yet." He went to New Brunswick with their little colony and soon after they had settled, Mr. Saunders was drowned. After waiting a reasonable time Daniel Jewett again asked for her hand and this time was accepted.
