DESCENDANTS OF CAPTAIN THOMAS HEWITT OF STONINGTON, CONN.. Compiled by Virginia Hewitt Watterson, 1996. Found in the Joseph Smith Library, Salt Lake City, Ut. Page 25.
    Born in Stonington, Conn, 11 Aug 1721 (VR), son of Joseph Hewitt and Mary Chesebrough; died in Stonington before Nov 1784, when father drew up his will mentioning Nathaniel as deceased, and possibly in 1769, when the probate court ordered a judgement against Nathaniel's sons, Josiah G. and Nathaniel Hewitt, Jr., for debts their father owed (Stonington Probate Records, docket #1633). Nathaniel married REBECCA GRANT, 24 Apr 1740 (VR), at the 2nd Church of Christ, North Stonington, Conn. (CR).

    Born in Stonington, Conn., 2 May 1731 (VR), son of Joseph Hewitt and Mary Chesebrough; died after 1784, when mentioned in his father's will, date and place unknown. Joseph married SARAH BABCOCK, 27 May 1756, in Voluntown, Conn. (NYB&GR). Sarah was born in North Stonington, Conn., 18 Apr 1739 (VR), daughter of Nathaniel Babcock and Sarah Billings; she died in Petersbury, Rensselaer Co., NY on 27 Aug 1792 (Brown).
    Wheeler, in the HISTORY OF STONINGTON, CONN., was in error when he listed Joseph's wife as Mehitable (Brown) Swan. She was the 2nd wife of his father. During the French and Indian War, Joseph served in the Conn. militia from 10 Apr to 10 Dec 1764, in Capt. John Tyler's co., Lt. Col. Israel Putnam's regiment of Conn. troops.
    Joseph and Sarah lived in the Stonington area of Conn. until sometime before 1782, when they moved to New York and settled in Stephentown, Albany Co. (now Rensselaer Co.), NY. They were there at the time of the 1790 U.S. Census. It may be that after the death of his wife in 1792, Joseph moved to Providence, Saratoga Co., NY. No probate or cemetery records have been found for Joseph. THE NATHANIEL BABCOCK GENEALOGY, by Cyrus Henry Brown, mentions only two children belonging to Joseph and Sarah, a daughter Mary and a son Joseph. Wildey, in the GENEALOGY OF THE CHESEBROUGH FAMILY, listed 5 other children; Billings, Nathaniel, Samuel, David and Grace. No proof has been discovered to substantiate those children. The Nathaniel on the list has been confused with Nathaniel (#152), son of Nathaniel (#42), and some researchers have confused the Samuel on the list with Samuel (#190), son of Jonas Hewitt (#60).

    From the Preston town records we copy the following:
    Nov. 21, 1774, "And whereas a strict observance to the plan adopted and agreed to by said congress (at Philadelphia) appears the best method of maintaining our just rights and privileges, this meeting made choice of John Avery, Jr. [and fourteen others] to be a committee to inspect the conduct of the inhabitants of said Preston and all other persons within the same that they strictly comply with the several articles agreed to by the said Congress."
    This refers to "The Association of the United Colonies" (the non-importantion agreement) adopted by the first continental congress, and signed by its members, Oct. 20, 1774. For further particulars, see Avery's "History of the United States and its People," Vol. 5, page 222.
    December 10, 1776, John Avery, Jr. was chosen one of the committee of inspection for Preston for the coming year. Jan. 5, 1778, he was one of a committee "chosen to make a draft to instruct our deputies to the General Assembly to be convened at Hartford on the second Thursday of Jan. to adopt articles of Confederation." He was deputy from Preston, Oct. 1771 (Conn. Col. Rec., 13:511). In the Connecticut State Records (1:129), under date Dec. 1776, we read:
    "Resolved by this Assembly that John Avery, Jr. of Preston, be and he is hereby appointed in addition to the committee appointed to procure and purchase fire arms in this state agreeable to the acts and resolutions."
    Being too frail to go into active service himself he procured and paid a substitute who served during the war and came home safe.
    In his will, made March 28, 1793, he mentioned all his sons, and his daus, Aipporah Cook, Hannah Avery, and Mary Avery (Norwich Wills, 9:51)
    He died July 23, 1794, at Preston. In the settlement of his estate, his son, John, is called "eldest son of said deceased by a former venture."
