The President Reports on -the Reunion
Toward the end of July the little town of Mason, Michigan and the Jewetts in
particular were: busy with plans for the coming reunion of the Jewett Family of
America.
Friday the 26th of July our out of state relatives started trickling in, one by one,
and sometimes two by two.
We had been having a cold, rainy summer here in Michigan, but on that day
the heavens chose to smile upon us and we were blessed with glorious weather for the
remainder of the week--end festivities.
Friday evening a reception was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Herschel
Jewett, about sixty--five being present from many parts of the country. We enjoyed
renewing acqaintances made in Rowley, Mass., in 1955 and establishing lasting friend-ships with our relatives from far and near.
The business meeting was called for Saturday morning, August 27th, at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Jewett. Invocation was given by William H. Jewett
of Eureka, 'California. The reports of the Secretary and Treasurer were read and
approved. The officers now holding office were re--elected for the coming year.
Matters of importance to the Association were discussed. The meeting adjourned at
12 :00 noon after which a delightful luncheon was served by Mrs. Richard Jewett and
her committee.
The afternoon was spent touring the State Capitol at Lansing and included a
trip through the Michigan State University campus, considered by many as one of the
most beautiful in the United States.
The evening program was highlighted by a 25 mile trip to Jackson, Michigan,
to view the spectacular water Cascades. All who witnessed this sight were thrilled
by its beauty.
Following Church services Sunday, the members of the Jewett Family of
America were the guests of the Jewetts of Mason, Michigan, at their annual picnic
dinner in Rayner p'ark. The food 'was provided by the Jewett women of Mason who
are all good cooks and I am sure that the 200 who attended agreed that they were
well fed and happy at the end of their dinner.
The Mason Jewetts went all out to plan and carry through this week--end
event. Everyone, even the children, pitched in and helped to make this reunion a
success. Without the full cooperation of our family such an undertaking would have
been impossible. Our thanks, also, to those people in Mason, who, when we were
unable at the last minute to obtain reservations, opened their homes to those who came
from afar. We shall not forget their kindness. A vote of thanks also to the Oldsmobile
Division of General Motors who helped with our transportation problem in the form
of two new Oldsmobiles for the convenience, of our guests and to the two young men,
James Jewett of Holt, Michigan, and Bob Jewett of Mason for driving the cars.
We feel that the reunion was very successful and wish that each and everyone
of you could have been here to enjoy the fellowship and fun with us.
Weare looking forward to meeting our old friends again and: to greet new
ones at the next meeting of the Jewett Family of America.

Letter, Worrall D. Prescott
Dear Kinsmen:
The following concerning the family research I have been working on is sub..
mitted for publication in the "Quarterly" at the request of Everett Douglas Jewett,
Secretary and Treasurer of the Jewett Family of America, Inc.
Both my wife, Lucy A. (Jewett) Prescott, and I, Worrall Dumont Prescott,
are direct descendants of Joseph and Mary (Mallinson) Jewett, who settled in Rowley,
Massachusetts, in 1639, and we are both members of the Jewett Family of America.
Mrs. Prescott is descended from Joseph's son Jeremiah Jewett and: his wife
Sarah (Dickinson) Jewett and I am a direct descendant of Joseph's daughter Hannah
Jewett, who, in 1658, married Lieut. John Carlton. This would make Mrs. Prescott
and me about "'eighth cousins".
During the past several years both Mrs. Prescott and I have discovered that
research into ones family history can be a most fascinating and constructive hobby, and
I have been fortunate enough in assembling information concerning my maternal
ancestry - (REED) - to have three books published on this line.
The books are:
"Capt. Samuel Reed and Mary Winship Reed and their Descendants 1783 to 1953." Capt. Samuel Reed served in the Revolutionary War.
"Phebe, Reed Trott and John Trott and their Descendants - 1784 to 1954".
John Trott served in the Revolutionary War.
(,loAmos Reed and Annie Webb Reed and their Descendants - 1776 to 1955.-'
Capt. Samuel Reed, Phebe Reed and Amos Reed were all children of Jonathan
Reed and Keziah (Converse) Reed, who were both born in Woburn, Massachusetts,
married in Lexington, in 1739, and settled in Woolwich, Maine, in 1754, where Jona..
than acquired several thousand acres of land. Jonathan Reed was a great grandson
of WilHam and Mabel (Kendall) Reed who came to America, in 1635, on the ship
'''Defense'' and settled in Woburn, Massachusetts. Keziah (Converse) Reed was
descended from Deacon Edward Converse, one of the founders of Woburn, Massa..
chusetts.
In each of the three books it carries the Reed line back to England in the 1400's
and to British Nobility.
I also had, in June of this year, a nine page booklet published concerning the
ancestry of Keziah (Converse) Reed, wife of Jonathan Reed, which takes her line, back
to the year 690 A.D. and to the early English, Scotch and French Kings.
Six years ago I did not even know who my great grandfather Reed was and in..
terest in my family history was aroused when I caIne into possession of the beautiful old
grandfather clock that had been owned by my great great great grandfather, Rev. Josiah
Winship. Rev. Winship graduated from Harvard, in 1762, and preached in the
Nequasset Congregational Church in Woolwich, Maine, from 1765 to 1824. He was
the father of Mary Winship who married Capt. Samuel Reed.
I point this out for I am not a professional in this field but have certainly found
it to be a most fascinating and worthwhile hobby. When a family history has been
completed to the point where publication seems practicable and the book is distributed
to libraries throughout the country, the information contained in the book will be: of
much value to researchers and members of the various family lines for generations to
come. That is why I say it is such a worthwhile hobby.

family.
I might add that in all my books I have a biographical sketch concerning each
Also the female lines are completed to date as well as the male lines.
It is my hope that other members of the Jewett Family Association may try to
do something similar on their own family lines and I will give a few statements on how
I started with practically no information whatever and how it grew and grew until I
now have information coming in from every state in the country:
First, I knew that Rev. Winship owned the old clock and I was told that he
had graduated from Harvard; and I knew that he lived in Woolwich, Maine, as I had
often spent summers at the old home which he had built there, in 1769. My first
step was to write to Harvard and ask them if Rev. Winship had, indeed, graduated
from Harvard, in 1762. The information that came back to me verified this fact and
also supplied me with a wealth of information concerning Rev. Winship and his an-cestral background. This did much to arouse my further interest.
I next decided to write to all of my immediate living Reed relatives, who were
not many in number, and ask each to tell me what he or she could about their family
history and to give me names and addresses of any others whom they thought might
help. One relative was kind enough to send me an old family Bible which gave me a
great deal of information. Another sent me the names of relatives in California and
other States whom they knew were connected with the family, and that is how I started
but my interest grew all the time and I found many others to whom I had written were
finding it of much interest too, and more and more names and addresses were furnished
me, along with family information. I then began writing to City Clerks, Town Clerks,
Probate Courts, Bureau of Vital Statistics and other public offices where I was able to
obtain many vital facts. Then, by 1953, I had assembled the complete record of Capt.
Samuel Reed and Mary Winship Reed and all of their descendants to date - (I and
my family are included in this book).
I next wrote to those recorded in this book and to various libraries, explaining
what the book was and asked them if they would purchase a copy if I went to the
expense of having a well--made book published. As the response proved favorable,
the first book was published in April 1953. The other two books were completed,
published and financed in the same way. Many libraries now own the books and it
is a genuine satisfaction to me to know that these records have been saved for posterity;
and I am still working on the project and hope to complete and publish additional books
on my family history.
I know of the fine books and many records written concerning the Jewett Family
but may I take the liberty of urging you who are descendants of our Colonial New
England heritage to consider starting a project similar to mine and so maybe save more
New England families from possible obscurity as the years roll by.
Start out, say, as I did, with great great great grandparents - and prepare
records on their descendants to date. For example, my Amos Reed--Annie Webb Reed
book is the complete family record of them and their descendants from 1776 to 1955.
Woolwich, Maine where they were married, in 1776, and Dresden, Maine, where they
lived, in a log--cabin, was a wilderness in those days. Now, these two people, married
in that wild country, have had descendants who have lived at one time or another in
every State in the country and some are: still living in Woolwich and Dresden, Maine.
One of them, Frank Reed Bailey, of Woolwich, was elected last month as a Maine
State Senator.
5
A project that might be started would not necessarily have to be on a direct
Jewett line. All of us who are: descended from the early New England settlers have
many family lines - in my own case, I am descended from the following families who
were all living in New England in the 1600'ls - Reed - Prescott - Kendall- Rock,.
well - Kent - Tidd - Hayward - Atkinson - ,Converse - Carter - Grace Sawyer - Carlton - Jewett and others.
We have two sets of grandparents - four sets of great grandparents - and
eight sets of great great grandparents; and, many of you who are members of the
Jewett Family of America may very likely be descended from some of those families
mentioned above as well as many other Colonial families.
Anyway, I am sure you would find it a good deal of pleasure; and meet
through correspondence and possible personal contact, many interesting people, and at
the same time you would be saving for posterity, valuable family histories for the
generations to come, for which I am sure many people would be grateful, now and
many years from now.
The many letters I have received thanking me for what I have so far been able
to do is sufficient proof to me of the value of preserving such records.
Mrs. Prescott is preparing an interesting record on the ancestry of her grand,.
father, Albion IN. Jewett, which includes his Jewett family history and his Leeman'
Foster and allied branches, back into early European history.
Sincerely,
Worrall Dumont Prescott
New Rochelle, New York

The Gathering at Mason
EVERETT
D.
JEWETT
On July 26, 1914, the children of Arthur W. Jewett of Mason, Michigan held
a birthday party for him. As the children grew up, married and left home this prac..
tice continued, each year they gathered at the old homestead until his death on October
30, 1931. But a practice so long continued should not cease; and so once a year this
group of children and relatives have met, not on July 26th, as many times when that
date fell on a weekday, the: menfolks could not leave their work on the farms, but
rather on the last Sunday in July.
The practice of these gatherings broadened until not only relatives but other
Jewetts from nearby were invited to meet with them and as more and more attended
the meeting place was transferred to Ingham County Park, a beautiful spot on the
outskirts of Mason.
It has been my pleasure to attend two previous gatherings and to witness the
hospitality and friendships which permeates these meetings, and so when the suggestion
was made that the members of the Jewett Family of America meet with them in 1956,
I was pleased knowing that we would be more than welcome and that the graciousness
of these Jewetts of Mason would be felt by aU who attended.
My expectations were more than realized, I had a wonderful time, as I know
others did. Through the careful planning of our President and his charming wife;
through the efforts of the committee which assisted him, a reunion never went off more
smoothly. I 'would like to name each member of that committee and thank them
personally for aU that they did for us, but my memory fails me. I do remember, how..
ever, the time and the work that Mr. and Mrs. Richard Jewett spent, turning their home
over to us, as did Herschel and his wife. We appreciate their hospitality.
One of the outstanding points of interest to me was the visits to the homes of
other members of the family in that vicinity. I saw Mr. and Mrs. JeweU"s beautiful
new home in Leslie; the farm of Alton Jewett with his large fields of corn and alfalfa
and his sheep; the extensive holdings of Arthur Jewett; the odor of freshly baked
biscuits in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Emery Jewett; and many more. For this ride
I am indebted to Emery.
The dinner at the park was delicious. Thanks to the womenfolks. The pleas..
ure of meeting again, Clyde and Mrs. Skinner of Boulder, Colorado; Mr. and Mrs.
Humphyres of Boone, Iowa; those beautiful girls from the state of Ohio; the Kelleys
and their daughter from Saginaw, Michigan and all of the others who were: present
was well worth the trip.
I regret that I do not have the list of those who signed the register on Sunday
to publish in our paper, possibly it will be available for a later issue.
May this group of Jewetts continue to prosper and to each of them I send my
greetings.

Notes
1 regret that the Quarterly is reaching you so late. Many other activities con-tinue to take up most of my time, leaving very little for genealogical work. With the
assistance of Mrs. Jewett most of my correspondence and filing is up to date. Please
continue to send me material for our Jewett Files, especially genealogical data. There
are still some lines which we are attempting to connect with our early ancestors.
It was a pleasure to meet Miss Helen Grace Mowat in St. Andrews, New
Brunswick this fall and to see some of the things that had belonged to her ancestor, the
Reverend Jedediah Jewett, 5th Minister of the Church in Rowley. I also enjoyed
an evening and a good nighfs rest at the home of Fred Jewett in MansonviUe, Quebec,
to say nothing of the maple syrup that Fred makes every year. Fred has a large family
of children and grandchildren and whenever 1 call upon them, they consider me as
one of the family. On my trip up through Vermont, 1 called at the home of Arlin
Jewett. This may be a surprise to him, as 1 did not find anyone at home. 1 called to
see Mrs. Bean of IN ewport and to see Mrs. Sanderson in West Charleston. Sometime
1 hope that 1 shall find time to prepare their Jewett line for publication. We have
gathered a large amount of material relating to the descendants of John and Hannah
Jewett and it should be published. 1 spent a delightful afternoon with Dr. and Mrs.
Pickwick of Lisbon, New Hampshire. An afternoon is all too short a time to spend
with them when they discuss the genealogical records which they have gathered to-gether of the families of Lisbon. That is where John and Hannah Jewett lived in the
latter part of the eighteenth century. On the way home from Lisbon, which should
take about 4 hours, 1 called upon Theo. Jewett, now Judge Jewett, as he has been
appointed to the bench. 1 was sorry that time would not permit me to see our good
friends and newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. John Vernon Jewett. John has enrolled another
of his Great Grand children, David Robert Whitney of Syracuse, N. Y. in the family
Association. He is at the present time the youngest member of the Association.
Many visitors called at our home this fall. To mention a few: Dr. and Mrs.
William G. Jewett of Gardner, Mass.; Mr. and Mrs. Porter Perkins of Wenham;
others called from as far away as Washington, California and Michigan. My brother
and his wife spent Labor Day here and on Thanksgiving we had 21 at dinner. 1 was
sorry that 1 was not in when Mr. and Mrs. Jewett of Fryeburg, Maine, called.
Governor Muskie of Maine has solved the Highway Safety problem in that state.
He has appointed as chairman of the Highway Safety Commhtee, Brian M. Jewett of
Bath. Under the leadership of such a go--getter as Mr. Jewett, Maine traffic accidents
should be kept at a minimum.
:1 regret that through an oversight, I neglected to mention in our last issue the
death of Mrs. James W. Jewitt of Philadelphia, wife of one of our distinguished men1-bers. Mrs. Jewitt passed away on March 6, 1956, at the age of 83 years, 9 months.
They had been married 56 years. I was pleased to see ~IJim" at the reunion this
summer; also his cousin Annie Cook of New Hudson, Michigan.
12
Another death which has been reported to us is that of Fred Daniel Jewett who
died in San Diego, California on July 21, 1956. He 'was born in Iowa, August 19,
1876, and 'was a descendant of Deacon Maximilian Jewett, one of the founders of
Rowley.
The Jewetts of Connecticut held their annual reunion in Hampton, on Sep,
telnber 23, 1956. It was with regret that Mrs. Jewett and I were unable to attend.
We remembered the enjoyable time which we had there in 1955.
Yearly due bills were mailed to annual members on O'ctober 1st. Response has
been wonderful. Nearly all have sent us their dollar, and to those who added extra
to help defray the cost of the Quarterly we: wish to Thank You. We appreciate your
generosity and hope that others will follow your example. Donations will also be
greatly appreciated from our Life Members.
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph L. Morrill of Ann Arbor, Michigan, took a seven weeks tour
of the west coast in August, visiting in Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia,
takIng the steamer to Alaska and return, and spending the last week in Los Angeles
where their daughter, Phebe, lives. Although the trip was planned for July, they
postponed it in order that they could attend the reunion.
Under the able direction of Mrs. Madelon Lindsay, the Jewett Flower Shop of
Mason, Michigan carried away top honors at the Michigan State Fair, winning both
the first and second prizes in the Flower exhibit.
This has been a busy year for Mr. and Mrs. Richard Jewett. Dick is the
owner of the Jewett Flower Shop. On August 10th their son Ronald graduated from
the General Motors Institute. On September 2nd they celebrated their Silver Wed,
ding Anniversary and on September 22nd Ronald and Miss Joy L. Shields of Mason
were married in a very pretty wedding at the Mason Presbyterian 'Church.
Other marriages of children of our members include: Miss Janet Frederick,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Frederick of Mason to Roland M. Brown on Friday,
September 14th, at the Alumni Chapel, Michigan State College, East Lansing; Miss
Elaine Bradshaw, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Franklin J. Bradshaw and Mason Druk,
man were married in San Francisco on Thursday, September 13th. They will reside
in San Francisco.
Where and when shall we hold the next reunion? Planning reunions is a large
task, particularly when they extend over one day. Now that they are more largely
attended and we have created the enthusiasm, they should be continued. The expense
connected with these reunions is considerable, however, due to the donations which we
received, the last 2 reunions 'was of very little burden upon our treasury. How about
a reunion in Minneapolis? Or Des Moines? When?
A number of Quarterlies of the last issue were returned for lack of correct
address. Members who plan to move should inform us of the change of address.
13
Mr. Ervin Feany of Gilmore City, Iowa has changed his annual membership to
life. He wrote that he passed the Certified Public Accountanfs examination and has
received his certificate from the state of Iowa.
Weare pleased to announce that at the meeting of the Board of Directors held
at Mason, Michigan, George W. Jewett of Grand Ledge, Michigan and P'resident of
the Jewetts of Mason, Michigan, was elected an Honorary member of our Association.
Mr. Jewett, a grand young man of 90 years, has served in that capacity for the past 2
years and we hope will continue to do so for many years to come.
Following the reunion, I had the pleasure of flying to Des Moines, Iowa to call
upon Mrs. Margaret Jewett and Mrs. Bonnie Welpton, long time members of our
Association, and daughters of the late GeorgeA. Jewett. Members of the Jewett
Family will be pleased to know that they have presented to the Association many of
the books from their father~s library. We hope that others who have books pertaining
to genealogical research will also assist us in building a library for the Association.
These books will be in the custody of the secretary until a more suitable place can be
found to house them.
While in Des Moines, I was fortunate in having the pleasure of meeting Homer
Jewett who set aside a very busy schedule to spend an afternoon showing me about the
city. It was also a pleasure to renew my acquaintance with Gerald Jewett, whom I
had not seen for 40 years. Our enjoyable evening together will long be remembered.
Mr. and Mrs. Waldo Jewett of Orwell, Ohio, have opened a tourist home and
Antique shop in Orwell on property which they have recently purchased. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Jewett have been interested in antique: furniture and glassware for many
years. They are also expert weavers and will include custom woven articles in their
new venture. Mr. Jewett, as well as his children, is an enthusiatic member of our
Association.
