Stephen Jennings b. 1791-1800 is related to have settled in Wells before 1825 from Vermont. Stephen first appears on the 1828 Wells assessment list, acquiring the property vacated by Riley Harrington. After his arrival he is related to have m. Mary Mason Bird, a widow. Thomas William Bird (sometimes appears as William Thomas Bird) appears on the early Wells assessment lists up until 1825 and in the 1825 assessment list is a notation that Thomas Bird had been “removed by death.” Mary was perhaps the wife of Thomas Bird. Stephen was enumerated in neighboring Jackson Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania in 1830, age 30 and under age 40. There were three sons and possibly a daughter who was of age 10 and under age 15 in the household. Stephen appears up through the 1837 assessment list. In the 1838 assessment list appears the name of Mary Jennings, widow, presumed to be the widow of Stephen. In the Reporter Journal, Towanda, Pennsylvania, May 28, 1885 it states - “Mr. Jennings came to an untimely death, being killed at a raising. The place then fell to Lorenzo who occupied it until the time of his death.” Mary Jennings was enumerated in Jackson Township in 1840 of age 40 and under age 50 with a son of age 5 and under age 10 in her household.

JEWELL
Joel Jewell b. 11 Feb 1803 Durham, New York son of Joseph Jewell and Bethiah Taylor removed at age eleven with his parents to Hector, Tompkins (that portion that is now Schuyler) County, New York. Joel m. 6 Feb 1827 at Hector, Mary J. Adriance b. 16 Oct 1804. Enumerated in Hector in 1830; learned carpenter’s trade, became elder in church at Elkland, Tioga County, Pennsylvania and in 1837 entered the ministry; enumerated in Farmington, Tioga County, Pennsylvania in 1840. In February, 1844, Joel and Mary along with several other persons, members of the First Presbyterian Church of Elkland, Pennsylvania, united in a petition to the Presbytery of Chemung for the formation of a church at Beecher’s Island in the town of Nelson, to be called "The Presbyterian Church of Beecher’s Island" and Joel was chosen one of three elders. Enumerated in Newark Valley, Tioga County, New York in 1850. In 1846 Rev. Jewell preached six discourses at the Presbyterian Church at Aspinwall (now Coryland) and commenced to supply the church, 1 Apr 1852. Mary Jewell received as member of same church in 1852. Rev. Jewell organized and was the first minister of the Presbyterian Church at Columbia Cross Roads, 12 Apr 1859. He labored at both churches until 1863 when Mary and Rev. Jewell returned to a former flock in New York for two years. From Rev. Jewell’s 1865 diary, this former home was somewhere south of Speedsville, Tompkins County, New York probably in Tioga County. In Apr 1865 they returned to Wells and Rev. Jewell ministered until Apr 1870. On 28 Nov 1880 they removed to Troy. In Feb 1882 they were residing at King Ferry, New York. On 22 Feb 1882 Rev. Jewell gave the historical discourse of the Presbyterian Church at Aspinwall (now Coryland) and historians and genealogits are indebted to Rev. Jewell for his written history of this church and other Presbyterian Churches, which records have survived and are housed in such places as the Presbyterian Historical Society and other locales. Rev. Jewell and Mary returned to Bradford County where Mary d. 23 Apr 1886 at which time Rev. Jewell resigned his charge at Sylvania, sold his house and went to live with eldest son, Joseph. Rev. Jewell had labored at Aspinwall (now Coryland) for about 31 years and about 14 years at the Presbyterian Church at Sylvania.
Mr. Jewell preached the fiftieth anniversary sermon at the Jubilee of
the Beecher’s Island Presbyterian Church, Nelson Township, Tioga County,
Pennsylvania, March 2, 1894. Excerpts are herewith given:
“Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.” ( I Samuel 7: 12) “Brethren and
friends; this is the language of the Prophet Samuel, after Israel had obtained
a triumphant victory over the Philistines, in answer to his earnest prayer
for help. It was about 780 years after the call of Abraham, the father
of all the faithful, and 350 years after the covenant at Mt. Sinai. On
this occasion, Samuel offered a lamb for a burnt offering wholly unto Jehovah,
and cried unto the Lord for Israel, and Jehovah heard him. And as the Philistines
drew near o battle against Israel, the Lord thundered upon them and discomfited
them, and they were smitten and destroyed before Israel. ‘Then Samuel took
a stone and set it between Mizpeh and Shon, and called it Ebenezer (that
is, stone of help), saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.”
“As God helped his faithful people from the days of Abraham to Samuel,
so has he always been ready, willing, and able to helpfuthem for three
thousand years, since the time of the excellent judge.”
“Since the organization of this church, notwithstanding our unfaithfulness
and severe trials, we stand today and declare, Hitherto hath the Lord helped
us. As the Jews blew the jubilee trumpet every fiftieth year on the day
of atonement, so we meet to raise our Ebenezer today at Nelson; and may
the Almighty proclaim by his spirit, liberty from the bondage of sin to
every person in this congregation, and through the entire community.”
“The History of the Church in the Cowanesque Valley is involved in
some mystery, for the township of Elkland included Osceola and Nelson;
besides, early records are lost and the first settlers have departed to
the Better Country. This place was called Beecher’s Island until it was
taken from Elkland, and named Nelson, in 1857. The pioneers were a vigorous
class, designed to plant all good moral institutions in the wilderness.
The first grist mill in the county of Tioga was built here in 1805. The
first school within our bounds was taught by Harriet Wright, consisting
of about ten pupils, in 1822. Chester Giddings taught in this village in
1830; but there was no schoolhouse built until 1834. The Presbyterian Church
was organized in Elkland, date uncertain. A precious revival of religion
was enjoyed in 1834 and 1835, and house of worship erected in 1837 and
1838. All in this community so inclined united there, and enjoyed the preaching
of the gospel here at the schoolhouse. Joel Jewell and family came from
New York to Farmington and settled five miles from the island, and five
miles from Elkland, where he united, and was chosen the fifth ruling older,
there being two at Osceola and two at the Island. As Elkland had a flourishing
Sabbath School under the care of Dr. Benedict, Mr. Jewell went to the Island
and established one at nine o’clock in the morning, with a prayer-meeting
to follow when we had no preaching. The first Sunday School picnic in this
part of the State was held by him in 1838. This year the Southern portion
of the Presbyterian church, having an accidental majority in the General
Assembly, cut off or excinded four Northern Synods to get rid of Abolitionism.
Mr. Jewell and the people here were attached to the Presbytery of Chemung
and the Synod of Geneva; while the brethren at Elkland naturally inclined
toward the Susquehanna. We have not a complete list of the pastors of the
mother church; but recall as ministering there: Johnson, Fitch, Wells,
Harower, Porter, and Williams; and since the division, E. Bronson in ’45-’48,
B. F. Platt ’50, H. E. Woodcock in ’51, Lockwood in ’52-’55, Smith, Lane,
J. Campbell, T. F. Dewing, E. Cennda, E. B. Bennedict, J. Cairns. Since
the reunion, S. J. Moon, D. D., has been pastor for fourteen years.”
“Jewell, the elder, continued his Sunday School and prayer meeting
at the Island from 1838 to 1843; at the same time clearing land, building
in Farmington and pursuing his studies under the direction of Rev. S. J.
McCullough of Tioga. Sept. 6, 1843, he was examined and licensed to preach
the gospel by the Presbytery of Chemung, at Athens. Because he had so much
business at home for the first year, his salary amounted to $64.50, all
paid in according to contract.”
“At our request, the Church at Elkland very kindly dismissed twenty
one of us by letter, and on application to the Presbytery at Chemung, S.
J. McCullough was appointed to assist me in organizing the church of Nelson,
March 2, 1844. There were two of the original members whose lives were
so pleasant and uniform, that we mention the manner of their coming in,
Samuel Hazlett, -- I saw the young man one morning hitching up his oxen
and said, ‘Sammie, they seem to come kindly under the yoke.’ He answered,
‘Yes sir, they do.’ ‘Well do you know the Lord says to you, Take my yoke
upon you, and learn of Me?’ Said he, ‘I suppose he does.’ I then asked
him if he would watch through the day while plowing, whether he was willing
to obey as the oxen. He agreed to do so; and before night agreed to obey
the Lord to the best of his ability. As to Charles Blanchard;- In June,
1843 we got Rev. O. Fitch to hold with us some afternoon meetings at the
house of James Campbell. Mr. Blanchard came with his wife the first day
and the second, the third he was absent, because we were getting rather
personal. Therefore, I walked down to his house; and when he saw me through
the window he put out of the cast door for his cornfield. I followed, found
a hoe, and was ready to strike in by his side; he tried hoeing fast, and
I kept even and talking; if he hoed moderately, I did the same. Finally
he threw down the hoe saying ‘Let us go up to the house.’ And as I could
not persuade him to take another bout, I accompanied him, finished my talking
and prayer, and then walked home seven miles. That night Mr. Blanchard
was uneasy, until Mrs. Blanchard said, ‘Charles, what is the matter.’ He
replied, ‘Lovina, you must get up and pray for me, I can’t live so.’ Thus
in mutual prayers he found peace.
“January, 1845, Mr. Jewell gave notice of a series of evening meetings
in Alvin Fry’s school room, commencing with a fast on Tuesday, the 14th,
and a general visitation of the inhabitants, by the church, going two and
two. The people fasted that day, without serving tables, in the most solemn
manner any of us had previously witnessed; and truly the Lord heard our
cries, and blessed us remarkably with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Rev.
E. Sherwood, a young licontiate, was with us, and assisted with the meetings.
As a result, Rev S. J. McCullough assisting, we received on Lord’s Day,
Feb. second, 32 on profession of faith.”
“In 1845 this sanctuary was built by a willing people and generous.
The timber for the frame was hewn one day, as a free-will offering, where
the parsonage now stands; Mr. Jewell and John Hazelett, Jr. cutting the
first tree. Then a subscription was raised, and Mr. Jewell got his younger
brother, Calvin, to take the job, by agreeing to work for him four or five
days in each week. The church was dedicated to the worship of God, and
Mr. Jewell ordained Dec. 17,1845, rev. John F. Calkins of Wellsborough
preaching from Ezekial 22:30.”
“On account of severe bronchial difficulty, Mr. Jewell was obliged
to close his three years preaching here August 30, 1846, with a membership
of 57.”
In 1895 Rev. Jewell published a little booklet, giving a photograph
and family sketch, with a sermon preached at the age of 80, another at
the age of 90, and an historical sketch of American church music.
Rev. Jewell d. 14 Sept 1895 age 92 at Troy leaving five children living,
buried with Mary in Oak Hill Cemetery, Troy.
The Rev. Joel Jewell. This aged servant of God passed away Saturday
morning, September 14th, in the 93rd year of his age and it can be truly
said of him, “A great man has fallen in Israel,” for Father Jewell trod
the path of duty, the path of integrity and temperance, and all these paths
which he trod so persistently, so successfully, have ushered him to his
“heavenly mansion, not made with hands eternal in heavens, where at His
right hand are pleasures evermore.”
The subject of this sketch, the Rev. Joel Jewell, was born in Durham,
NY, Feb. 11th,1803, and was the son of Deacon Joseph and Bithiah Tyler
Jewell. The years of his early manhood were years of trail and comparative
privation, the common lot of those who lived in pioneer days, but he nevertheless
with energy and application improved his opportunities, laying with pains
taking earnestness, perseverance and zeal, the foundations of that sturdy
and indomitable character which lasted through life, for he was never known
to swerve from duty, or what he considered to be right, and the wish is
that we had many more “Father Jewells” in this respect. From the sketch
taken from the book which he wrote himself, when he was 92 years old, he
says, “Learned church music before ten, by the aid of Drs. Ingalls and
Austin. Removed with the family at eleven Hector, engaged in Sunday school
work at sixteen, teaching music at seventeen, and a carpenter at eighteen.
United with the church and Temperance Society in 1826. Married Miss Mary
Adriance Feb. 6th, 1827, and became the author of 'Teetotalism.'
In 1837 became an elder in the church at Elkland, in 1843 licensed to preach
by the Presbytery of Chemung, NY.
Father Jewell married Mary Adriance Feb. 6th, 1827, and for many years
like Isaac and Rebecca they lived faithfully together in perfect love and
peace, and kept the vow and covenant twix them made in the firm bonds of
a mutual affection until her death in April 1886, when he resigned his
pastoral charge and went to live with his son Joseph, with whom he had
a pleasant and congenial home until his death.
He was a man of decided strong convictions, and preached in his day
with great power and success, and was noted for his thorough knowledge
of Bible history. His last pastoral charge was at Sylvania, and the last
sermon he ever preached was some time last month in the old Union church
there whose doors had not been opened before for five years. He seemed
anxious as he said “to preach in the old church once more,” and walked
to Austinville, a distance of six miles, to obtain the consent of one of
the trustees for its use, was greeted with a good house, and it is said
went around among the audience afterward shaking hands, and asking “Well
did you enjoy hearing the old man preach once more?” Many will remember
his faithful attendance and earnest exhortations at the revival meetings
last winter, he also assisted in the distribution of the Lord’s Supper
in the Presbyterian church at its last celebration, faithful and about
his Father’s business to the last.
Much more could be said of this remarkable man did time and space permit,
but he has gone and his works do follow him, his active, straightforward
and exemplary life speaks for itself, and is worthy of emulation.
He was sick but for a few days, so was spared the tedious suffering
generally incident to old age. In conformity to the wishes of the family
the funeral service were conducted from his late residence, and was largely
attended. The Rev. A. G. Cameron of Sylvania preached the sermon and was
assisted by the following ministers: Rev. G. P. Sewall, G. E. Hutchings,
F. A. Martin, J. H. Gordinier, T. K. Mitchell, Swan of East Troy. Six of
the above named acting as pallbearers. The choir from Columbia X Roads
was present and rendered some fine music. He was laid to rest in Oak Hill
cemetery beside his wife whom he so tenderly loved, who passed on before
him nine years ago. He leaves six children mourn his departure, viz: Joseph
H. of Ionia, Michigan, Spencer, Riverside, California, C. J. Jewell, Howell,
Michigan, Mrs Morris Shepard, Towanda, and W. H. Jewell of Wells.
We will close this feeble effort and vain attempt, as it were, of the
portrayal of the life and character of so remarkable a personage with a
quotation from his writings telling in his own words where his trust was,
and showing he was ready to obey the summons, when the call came;
When feebleness approaches and earthly support fails prayer is especially
needed? Come let us lean on our Heavenly Father and plead the petitions
of David. Cast me not off in the time of old age, forsake me not when my
strength faith. O God Thou hast my strength faileth. O God Thou has taught
me from my youth, and hitherto have I declared Thy wondrous works. Now
also when I am old and gray headed. O God forsake me not until I have showed
Thy strength unto this generation and Thy power unto everyone that is to
come. May the good Lord help us to utter and to like this prayer, that
we may give unto the Lord the glory due His holy name, and worship the
Lord in the beauty of holiness. So teach us to number our days that we
may apply our hearts unto wisdom." Surely no aged person can think of living
without such supplication, and confession. When I come thus to God in prayer
His favors seem wonderful indeed.
Wonderful truly Jehovah hath led
Wonderful furnishing clothing and bread
Wonderful guiding through childhood and youth
Wonderful teaching and wonderful truth
Wonderful sparing my forfeited breatn
Wonderful saving from danger and death
Wonderful patience to lead and control
Wonderful grace to lead and control
Wonderful woolings and wonderful call
Wonderful mansions in glory for all
Wonderful promise my Savior dost make
Never, no never, I'll never forsake

JUDSON
Solomon Judson b. 8 Dec 1751 (pension file S29266) baptised 15 Dec 1751 Woodbury, Litchfield County, Connecticut son of Isaac Judson and Mary Stoddard resided at Bethlehem, Litchfield County when he enlisted in the American Revolution. He is related to have had a first wife, Mary and second wife, Naomi b. c. 1750. Enumerated in Woodbury, Litchfield County, Connecticut in 1790 with one male over age sixteen (b. before 1774), two males under age sixteen (b. 1775-90) and six females. Resided Greenville, New York after the war and then removed to Wells with some of their children, while some of their married children remained in Greenville. The Reporter Journal, Towanda, Pennsylvania, May 28, 1885 relates - “Mrs. Jane Osgood, was a daughter of Solomon Judson and was born at Greenville, Green county, N.Y., May 26, 1800. She came to Wells when but three years old with her father’s family.” This would place the arrival of the Judson family in Wells between May 1803 and May 1804. Rev. David Craft recorded interviews before his publication of the History of Bradford County, Pennsylvania and in interview with L. F. Shepard of Wells dated Jan. 12, 1874 Mr. Shepard stated - “The first settler of Wells township as near as we can (tell) was Lemuel Gaylord. He came in the year 1800. Next came Solomon and Ithamar Judson - the former settled on the farm now owned by James Owens; the latter on the farm owned by John A. Roy. They came here in the year 1803 from Greenville, New York. At that time there was but one house from stateline to Roseville, Tioga County a distance of eleven miles.” Further, Mr. Shepard states - “Solomon Judson died Dec 12, 1836 aged 86 years. He was the father of Mrs. Mary Capron and Mrs. James J. (error and should have been an I.) Osgood, both now living at this place or what was called Mosierville. They can remember very well when Wells Township was a perfect wilderness, and full of bear, deer and wolves.” Solomon’s daughter, Alethia married in Aug 1804 in Greenville, so perhaps 1803 is too early of a date for their arrival. Solomon appears on the 1808 asessment list of Tioga Township, Luzerne County (Wells Township, Bradford County had not yet been created). Solomon purchased 138 acres on Seeley Creek on 1 Feb 1809 from Adam Kuhn of Philadelphia. Enumerated in Smithfield Township, Lycoming County (Bradford County and Wells Township had not yet been formed) in 1810 with two males of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1795-1800), one male over age forty five (b. before 1765), one female of under age ten (b. 1801-10, one female of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1795-1800), and one female over age forty five (b. bfore 1765). Solomon appears on the first assessment of 1812-13. In 1820, resided on warrant parcel 1393 on Judson Hill. Residing there in 1822. Solomon and Naomi enumerated in Wells in 1820 with no children in their household. On 16 Mar 1824, Solomon Judson, Isaac Judson, and Samuel Judson all of Wells sold (5:100) the 138 acres on Seeley Creek to James Seely, Jr., “late in possession of Bartlett Seely and more in possession of James Seely, Jr.” Naomi d. Feb 1826 76y (ts). Solomon, private in Connecticut Continental Army, 1835 pensioner, age 82. Solomon d. Dec 12, 1836 86y (ts) buried with Naomi in Mosherville Cemetery. If Naomi’s marker is correct she was age about fifty when her youngest child was born and it is not known if she was the mother of all of Solomon’s children.
