Note: Benjamin Jewett was born two weeks after the death of his father. Daniel Dow, the husband of his aunt Mehitable, was appointed his guardian December 1, 1724, and April 9, 1730, his uncle Nehemiah Jewett, was appointed guardian, he then being fourteen years old. He was apprenticed to the blacksmith’s trade and served seven years. He settled in Ipswich, and December 26, 1740, purchased land in Manchester, Massachusetts. He removed there about that time, where he followed the blacksmith’s trade. He was sexton of the church, chosen tithing man in 1744, juryman in 1749, and corder of wood at the meeting in 1750-1.
September 11, 1750, he sold his land and buildings in Manchester, and about 1753 settled in Windham County, Connecticut, in that part of the adjacent towns of Pomfret and Canterbury which was afterwards set apart as Brooklyn.
He visited Ipswich again, and while there, October 28, 1765, being then of Pomfret, blacksmith, conveyed his interest in his father’s estate to Purchase Jewett. He attended church in Hampton, Connecticut, and died a few miles away in Canterbury, Connecticut, September 29, 1801, aged 85 years, 7 months, and 28 days.
