About Elizabeth Jewett (1822-1908)
Elizabeth Jewett (17 January 1822 Peterborough NH - 17 July 1908 Tilton NH) was the daughter of Ahimaaz Jewett (1794-1860) and Eliza Scott (1799-1842) both of Peterborough NH. She married first Samuel C. Clement (d. 1846) in 1845, and second William Bradford Hale (dates unknown) of Savannah Georgia and Upton MA in 1847.
