JEWELL
NEW INFORMATION ABOUT WILLIAM JEWELL, SON OF REV. JACOB JEWELL AND
PROBABLE FATHER OF SERGENT JEWELL
**Please note comment on bottom of page
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sergent Jewell was born in the state of Maine, 11 Mar 1815. After
many years of searching for his parents and siblings, I have come to
the following conclusions and feel confident with the deduced
lineage.
William 6 JEWELL (Jacob 5, John 4, John 3, Thomas2, Thoms1)was
born at Sandwich, New Hampshire
c. 1777/79. Pliny and Rev. Joel Jewell, The Jewell Register,
Hartford, CT 1860, assigns William the number 109 and state he died
in Lunenburg, MA. This is error on the authors part and it should
read Lunenburg, VT.
Although this writer has not found a death record of William,
he was living in Lancaster, NH for the 1850 census, but not listed
with his wife in the 1860 census of Guildhall, VT. Lunenburg, VT is
where his sons Levi and Ambrose lived and this area of
NH and VT is where William and family lived from, probably,
1825. He married in Belgrade, Maine, July 1801, Avis, born at
Durham, NH 22 Mar 1783, daughter of Starbird 6 (Lemuel 5,
Isaac 4, Jonathan 3, John 2, Humphrey 1) and Zerviah
(Davis) TURNER. (Rome, ME VR).
Zerviah's name is confusing, the three times she is named in
records her name is different. Zerviah is the name given in the book
by Everett S. Stackpole, et al, History of the town of
Durham, NH. Somersworth, NH, 1973, page 99. Saphira is the
way it is spelled in Starbird's Rev. War Pension Papers, and
the name given to her in the Rome, ME town records is Olive.
To be consistent with my records this writer will use the name
Zerviah. Avis Turner's name was brought to light when the death
record of Levi Jewell in Lunenburg, VT vital records give the name
of his parents: William Jewell and Ava (sic) Turner.
The first recorded information about William is in the Belgrade,
Maine town records, first book, page 4. The original records were
copied by a typist and an error was made deciphering the name
Jewell. "May 23, 1801, Mr. William Snell (sic) and Mrs. Avise Turner
were entered for intentions of marriage. The next record is the
Rome, Maine town records, first book, page 15. William Jewell and
Avise Jewell inhabitants of the town of Rome, June, 1804. Married
July 1801 Have issue as follows viz: Nathaniel Jewell born at
Belgrade, 22 Feb 1802; Sergent Jewell born at Rome, 4 Mar 1804;
Hannah Jewell born at Rome 13 Nov 1806; Levi Jewell born at Rome, 21
Jul 1808.
The 1810 census of Mercer, Somerset county, Maine indicates William
a resident of that town and Mercer town records state: William
b.
1777, Avis b. 1780. Children; Nathaniel, Sergent, Hannah, Levi,
William b. 31 Aug 1810 Mercer, Avis b. 30 Aug 1812 Mercer.
Harold
Owens Smith, The History of Mercer, Maine 1782-1974, states on page
44 that William Jewell was a hogviewer of that town in 1814.
No record has been found by this writer of William and Avis
in the
1820 census.
1830 census of Guildhall, Essex county, Vermont indicate the
following: William Jewell--1 male, 5 under 10; 1 male, 10 under 15;
1 male, 15 under 20; 2 males, 20 under 30; 1 male, 40 under 50; 1
female, under 5; 2 females, 15 under 20; 1 female, 40 under 50. This
fits very well with the boys of the family, but two females have yet
to be identified.
The Grand List of Guldhall, Vermont (located at the Town Clerk"s
office) list the following years with Jewell residents:
1843 William Jewell and S. Clark

has been found for her.

He lived close to Levi Jewell in the town of Lunenburg, VT. He

door to William and Avis in the Lancaster, NH 1850 census. Brother
Sergent and his children were living with him. He was married to
Mary R. S. and had a daughter, Lydia.
No proof of the last three children can be found by this writer,
other than the close association with William and Avis, and the 1830
census fits the ages of these three children.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SERGENT(7)JEWELL, (William6, Jacob5, John4-3, Thomas 2-1), was born
in the state of Maine (as indicated by the census records), 11 Mar
1815, and died 14 Apr 1894. (Gravestone, Oak Hill Cemetery, town of
Maine, Outagamie county, Wisconsin.)
He married first, Martha
Crouch, before 1840. Their son, James H. Jewell's Civil War Pension
papers identify Martha Crouch as his mother. The Galway, Saratoga
county, NY 1840 census list William Crouch, Sergent Jewell, Mary
Channy, John Crouch and William Crouch, all living next to each
other.
As mentioned before, Sergent was in Guildhall, Vermont in the year
1845 as cited by the Grand List of that town. The 1850 census of
Lancaster, Coos county, NH show Sergent living with John G. Jewell,
probably his brother. According to the 1850 census Sergent had two
sons, John age 9 and James age 8, but no wife listed. This writer
believes Martha Crouch Jewell died sometime between 1843 and 1845,
and Sergent moved back to where his family was living.
Sometime between 1850 and 1852 Sergent married second, Rachel Smith,
born in the state of NY, 3 May 1822. She died 22 Jun 1901, Maine, Outagamie county, Wisconsin. (Gravestone and Allen family bible.)
Rachel was the daughter of Christopher and Sally (Sanders)Smith. The
marriage of Christopher Smith and Sally Sanders is in the Lunenburg,
VT Congregational church records.) The Grand List of Guildhall,
Vermont state: Sergent was a resident of that town from 1851 to
1856.
During that period of time Sergent and Rachel had two
daughters: Mary, born 1852 and Martha born ,1854. No birth record
has been found of either of the daughters. Also, no marriage record
has been found for Sergent and Rachel. In the fall of 1856 Sergent
and his family moved to Bovina, Wisconsin. (Mary Jewell Cross
divorce records filed Dec. 5, 1878, Outagamie county, Wisconsin
state: she has been a resident of Wisconsin twenty-two years this
fall.)
1860 census of Bovina, Outagamie county, Wisconsin find Sergent and
Rachel Jewell with three children: James H., Mary and
Martha. John W., son of Sergent and his 1st wife is absent, and nothing further
is known of him.
The attraction of Bovina, Wisconsin for this Jewell family can be
found in that Jeremy Smith, brother of Rachel, was a resident of
that community since August 2, 1852. (General Land Office Records,
Wisconsin, Vol 43).

Historical Society). Frank deserted Mary in the spring of 1877, she
filed for divorce in August 1878 and on 16 Nov 1878 the divorce was
final. (Wisconsin Outagamie county circuit court record.) Frank
Cross died at Kansas City, Kansas 1 Apr 1884. (Kansas City Times,
April 1, 1884, page 7).
The Wisconsin marriage records state Mary
married second at Maine, Wisconsin 4 Jan 1878, James Bird Carpenter.
This could be an error when the record was copied. Mary was not
divorced until November 1878, so the year of her second marriage
could have been 1879. Children of Mary E. Jewell and Frank L. Cross,
