    Born in Stonington, Conn., 10 Mar 1776 (VR), son of Israel Hewitt and Tabitha Wheaton; died in Towanda Township, Bradford Co., Pa. in 1815 (Bradford Co. Probate Records. Burdon married EUNICE ____. Little is known of this lady except that she was the mother of his children, probably married in Conn., and she was still living on 30 Dec 1815, when she signed off on her dower rights in Towanda, Pa. (Bradford Co. Probate Records). No cemetery markers have been found for Gurdon or Eunice Hewitt.
    Gurdon was 15 years old when his father died in Stonington, Conn. and left a will stating that Gurdon was "to be put to a suitable trade". When he became age 25, Gurdon was to inherit money in the amount of 10 pounds. The court appointed his sister Nancy's husband, George Williams, to be Gurdon's legal guardian while he was a minor (Stonington Probate Records, docket #1624).
    Gurdon and Eunice were living in New London, Conn. in 1790, with 2 young sons. In 1796, they left Conn., accompanying his brother, Dudley and family, for Chenango Co., NY. They first settled in the town of Norwich and later moved to a farm in Oxford, NY. Gurdon purchased and sold a number of parcels of property from 1797 to 1811, and became prosperous. He was on the board of trustees of the Oxford Academy in 1809. At one time, he owned a tavern at Fort Hill near Oxford.
    When a friend defaulted on a note which Gurdon had co-signed, he was obligated to make good. This ruined him financially. Gurdon sold what property he could and left Oxford to start over in Bradford Co., Pa. He moved his family to Monroe, Pa. where he became a lumberman in 1811. For a while, before his early death, he operated a sawmill near Towanda, Pa.
    Gurdon died interstate. On 30 Dec 1815, the widow Eunice renounced her dower claim to any real estate of her deceased husband, and requested that son, Gurdon Hewitt, Jr., act on her behalf. A Letter of Administration was granted to Gurdon, Jr. the same day, to settle his father's estate (Bradford Co. Probate Records, docket #40, Book 1, p. 12). On 14 Feb 1816, Gurdon, Jr. Posted a $1000 bond with the court. A Letter of Administration was also issued to Gurdon, Jr. in Chenango Co., NY on 3 July 1816, to settle the father's estate of property still owned in Chenango County (Chenango Co. Probate Records, Book A, p. 103).
    Eunice died a few years after her husband, in Towanda, Pa. Gurdon Hewitt, Jr. made a deposition on 22 May 1819, to the court stating that his father and mother were both deceased and that they left only 2 children then living, himself and Calvin Hewitt, who was still a minor. Silas Marsh of Oxford, NY, a son-in-law of the deceased couple, also signed a deposition dated 2 July 1819 (Chenango Co. Probate Records).
