in the articles of incorporation reads: "The holding_ of reunions of the family from time to time for prornotin~ good fellowship". Such a reunion shall lw twld in Rowley, Massachusetts on Friday and SaLUrday. A11g11st 2.5 and 261 1961. A II those by the name of J ewett by maniagc or birth. as wl'll as those who are de~cendcd from J eweu s are invited 1.0 al tcn<l. Let us all rally around in the town when• the Jewetts firsl scllkd in Arncrica.
The last reunion in Rowley was held in 1955 i.o celebrate the one hundredth anniwrsary of the founding of the fast association o( the Jewe tt Familv of America. Fift v-one years ag-o lhc Commonwealth of Jvfassacliusetts grantt~d a chart(T ro the Jewt;tt F~m~ily of Au1erica. No reunion was held on the ·fiftieth anniversary. It is pasl time that we did, so the Directors of vour Familv Association vott>d to hold om· in Rowlcv this vrar. This may be the most important Family Reunio~ ~i11cc the Tn;·orpon{tion of the Jewett Family in 1910.
When the Je'wett' Family was first incorporat,ed. there apparently was some comicl1•ratinn given to a proposed Jcw<-·tt Memorial Building in Rowky for on p(!ge .IG7 of th(' 1912-13 Year Rook is refercncr to an informal dinner in New York Citv to introduce our first Pres-idcnt - Genera.I Edgar B. Tewett of Buffalo. ·N1·w York - to members of t.lw fami ly tlwrf'. \'\'(-'quote frorn the Year Book, "Tlw Prc5iclent submitted th(• dare of tht' reunion and also a colored sk<'tch of a proposed J ewett Nfcmorial Building at Rowlf'y". This did 1101: come into being.
The minutes of the last Direcwrs me<>tin~ of thr } •wrt-t Famil y of America held in Brookline, Massachusetts on ~O\·embrr 5. 1960 rrpoit that a committ~I' hr appointed under t.he chairmamhip of Mr. E.

Invite others hy the name of .Jewett, a~ v•.rell as thosr who are of .Jewt>tt descent. for this is a good ocrnsion to increase the membcr~hip in our Family. Let us mah• this the largest rt>tmion ever in tribute to onr of the pioneer familic•s in America, who settl<'d in Rowlev, Massachu~clt<;, a town that still rPtaim ~ome of the features of a colonial \·illag<' that raised ~t mdv Amer.icans.

Eleazer Jewett
Mrs. Barbara Dorn of Saginaw. Michigan has furnished us with the following information about Eleazer Jewett #2866:
Eleazer .Je\\'ett was the first surveyor to trace lines in the Saginaw Valley. He was a native of New Harnpshin• and ra111(• t.o Saginaw in the summer of 1826. Ile and Asa Whitney - who preceded him - built a log hut on the banks nf the Tittabawasse1· Rivrr at Greenpoint. They passed the winter of I 826-2i in the employ of the American Fur Company. Whitney was accidently drowrwd in tlw rive1· near their camp thr following April. That year Ekazcr Jrwctt became Factor nf thr company and established a trading post at the fork of th(' Tii:tabawassN' and Pine Rivers nea r the pres<'nt site of Ivhlland. Michigan. This act so displeased the Indians that Elea7.er was 1:hreatrned with d eath if he continued business there. He trc·ated the threats lightly. not belic,·ing the cliids with whom he susta..ined tlie most cordial re lat ions. would allow their braves to molest hitn.
One day h<' saw more ti1an one lwndrc<l hloocl thirsty warriors approaching the post along the narr~1w trail - the only thoroughfarC' tlirnugh the woods in those lh1.ys. Althoug b llic Indians \vere in full war dress. he refused to be bluffed and appeared a t the door of the post with gifts of tobacco for Chief Oge-maw-kc-kc-to. When the ch ief refused the gifts he r1ralizecl that t:h('v were serious and he retired hastilv and bolted the door for defense. He ' lia<l a. half breed assistant. many guns and plenty of ammunitjon. ~.fany tomahawks were launched and half buried in (he door of hewed planks. Mr. Jewell fired several shots O\'er the heads of the Indians a nd a frw charges of fine shot at their legs, taking care nol to inflin n111cb harm. Seeing that the trader meant business and didn' t intend to give up the post, the rhid called off t he brn,·<>s and no further attack was made. The old chief had high C'steem for personal coui-age. The next day he visited the post alone, was admitted and giYen a hearty meal. This was soon repC'ated and a similar reception .giwn. On hi!> third visit he accepted an offer of tol-<>rco. HP spoke

then for tht.:: first 1 irnc. "My pale face friend, I did wrnn~ in seeking your life. hut now it is o\"Cr and we are friend~ fore\'cr" . Ile always kept his \Vorel and there wa~ no more trouble.
On October 22, 18'.H, Eleazer J ewett married Azuhah L. Miller - a sister of Albert Miller , a prominent citizen of Sag inaw and Bay City. She was born in Hartland. Vermont of old Purita n stock . She caml' to Michigan with her mother in 183 1 and settled in Grand Blanc where she was a teacher. The wedding trip took a week; they proceeded the seven miles to Flint by wagon, thence by d ug-out canoe, with numerous oce<1sions to portage, lo their home. In 1837. they built a hotel in Saginaw which they kept until 1859. Mr. Jewett also owned a ferry capable of transporting a horse across the river. H e also served as Probate Judge. On h is n·tircmf'nt in 1860, they moved to a farm in Kochville Township where he d ied in 1875.
Eleazer and Azubah .Jewett had four children: 11ary who was born in 1834 and married Dr. N. D. Lee: Wallace who was killed in the Battle of Gettysbu1-g. July 2, 1863: Alom:o of whom nothing i!i known and Oscar who rP.rt' iwd his education in the Saginaw schools. spent the first ten years of his business ca r<'1'r in t hi' lumb<'r trade; served in lhr Civil \ 1Var fi~hting Tndians in Nrvada where he had many thril ling e:-.:periences. Ht· married in 1866. Fannie T omli nson : after her death he married Alice Wells. He was the M <trshall of Saginaw City from 1874 to 1873.

Some a<;k, who w«'rc my anct·sto1·s. where did they c-01111• from. how clicl thC"y m:tke their lin·lihood. and many more questions.

Do vo11 lik1• to writt· or do research for historical novels or essavs? There arc oppo;·tunilit·~ lo do ~o, for yot1 would find it a most fascinating ~ml rewarding endeavor.
When tlw J cw1·tt Fami ly of America was incorporated. committ<'<·s w«'re established to carry out its purpost's.
