About Joseph Jewell

Joseph Jewell married Martha Watertown around 1670. Later, he married Isabel Cates.

Martha was the mother of Joseph Jewell (Jr) born 1673.

From the "Jewell Register": "It appears that Joseph Sr. first lived in Charlestown, and kept the ferry between that place and Boston; that his son Joseph assisted him; that when about 50 he removed to Stow, and owned a grist mill, which went for a long time (up to 1815 at least) by the name of "Jewell's Mill." This old mill site is now (1860) occupied by a carpet factory and the stream is the dividing line between Sudbury and Stow."

The above is a quote from the "Jewell Register" extension, compiled by Robert Winsor Jewell of New York state.



Joseph first lived in Charlestown, Mass. and conducted the ferry between that place and Boston, and his son Joseph Jr. assisted him. When about 50 years old, he removed to Stow and there owned a grist-mill, which for years (as late as 1815 at least) went by the name of “Jewell’s Mill”. This old mill-site was as late as 1860 occupied by a carpet factory and the stream is the dividing line between Sudbury and Stow. He died at about the age of 94. His second wife, Isabel, lived to be over 103.
