Jewett NY History
Early settlers immigrated to Jewett in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s and made their homes in five major locations in the town. The town was first settled around 1784. Jewett was formed in 1849 from the Towns of Hunter and Lexington.
The first settler in the town was William Gass, who upon his arrival in 1783, built a log cabin at Jewett Center near the junction of the Eastkill and Schoharie Creeks. Mr. Gass had been born at North Fields, Scotland on January 10, 1727, and died on November 26, 1815, and was buried at Jewett Center. In 1786, the second settler Zephaniah Chase from Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts arrived at South Jewett. He was of English descent, a Baptist, cabinet maker by trade, and Revolutionary War soldier, and had gone on whaling expeditions with his brother, a sea captain.
Their nearest neighbor, John Gass, lived about five miles away. Later Jared Rice moved into the area followed by other settlers. In time, a school house was built which became District No. 5 and a Baptist Church was built by a Mr. Kipp, boss carpenter. As the church was built by square rule, critics howled and said it would never come to a joint as Mr. Kipp framed the timbers in different places, but when the frame was put together, every joint was a perfect fit. A Richard Peck erected a sawmill and grist mill on the Schoharie Creek.
