General Notes: Husband - Ebenezer Hewitt


He was born in 1796, and his wife about 1800. About 1816 they left their home in Saratoga County, New York, with their family, their son J. B., their fourth child, being then only two years old. [CBRCP-CCJC, 651] These dates seem suspect.

He and his wife were of Scotch ancestry, and were both natives of New York state. About 1816 they came from Saratoga County, New York, to make a new settlement in western Pennsylvania. The journey was made in the most primitive fashion, and from Driftwood, Pennsylvania, was continued on foot, the smaller children being carried by the others. They had but a few household goods, including a spinning wheel, but they made the best of things, and soon had a clearing made and a house built, in the wilderness in what was later Huston township, Clearfield County (then a part of Jay township, Centre County). They were the first white settlers there, being thirteen miles from any other inhabitants. Mr. Hewitt developed a productive farm, upon which he remained until his death, at the age of eighty-nine years.


General Notes: Wife - Sarah Bliss


She died when sixty-five years old.
