    Born 24 Mar 1785 (Bible), probably in Saratoga Co., NY, son of Asa Hewitt and ____, perhaps Mahaley ____. He died in Day, Saratoga Co., NY, 17 Nov 1826, age 41 years (Bible & tombstone).

Mary's maiden name may have been Sprague. She seems to have been related to Rhoby Sprague, bon c 1774 in RI, who married Samuel Cheadle and lived in Edinburg, VT.
    William and Mary resided in Edinburg, NY. In 1819, their home was on land set off from Edinburg to form the Town of Concord, Saratoga Co., NY. Shortly after that, it was discovered that there was another town called Concord in NY so the Saratoga town was changed to the Town of Day.
Mary lived many years after William's death. She stayed for a while in Day, then later moved in with her daughter, Sophia Scribner, sometime before 1850. In 1855, Mary lived briefly with her son, William, in Day but by 1860 and 1865, she was again with daughter Sophia in Edinburg.
    No probate records were found for William or Mary. The family farm in Day of 60 improved acres and 80 unimproved seems to have gone to the youngest son, William Sabin Hewitt, who reported in 1855 that he had lived there for 30 years.
