from
Rowley Massachusetts birth records
Dorothy (Rogers) Jewett was my
6th great-grandmother. She was born 25 Feb 1703/04 in Rowley, Essex
County, Massachusetts to Robert and Dorothy (Smith) Rogers. She
married Benjamin Jewett 18 Jan 1724/25 in Rowley. She had one child,
Mary, in Rowley. Then it appears that the family moved north about
1727 into New Hampshire to the town of Stratham . A family history,
Hunting an Ancestor by George Anson Jewett written in 1914,
states she had three more children there, Benjamin, John and Jedediah
and maybe more. Some on-line trees do list more children.
Evidently she received an
inheritance from the death of her father in 1730 since Benjamin
signed a receipt for 19 pounds 8 + 4d as his wife's share in Robert
Roger's estate.
I find this time period
difficult to research. I haven't yet found a good source for her date
of death.
