Notes

• Almost all sources show wife as "Eliza", but the sources that have parentage info for Eliza give a full name of Elizabeth, so using that name.
• Some sources give birthplace in Highgate, VT rather than Weybridge
• This is a DIFFERENT Philo Jewett than the one described here although there is almost certainly a relationship (although I have not investigated it, both familys spent time in Weybridge.)
• There may be more information in Landon Genealogy.
