Be it remembered that on the second day of April 1827, James H. Hewitt made application to the clerk of the Orphan Court of said county for a license to be
married.'

Barnett Wilson, "The Wilson Hallmark Hendricks Hewitt Families", p 61: "James Hewitt was born in Tennessee and spent his childhood days there. The record shows that he was born June 30, 1801. He came to Alabama before it was a state [est. 1819] and later married Eleanor [Ellen], the daughter of Captain James Tarrant and Kissiah Terry. He settled in the area of Elyton in Jefferson Co., Alabama. He was active in county affairs until his death May 25, 1858."

We do not know the date of this marriage or what her maiden name was.

Barnett has based his account on Book 170, Alabama Records, Probate Minutes Book 1860-1862, and Ala. Records #7 [Will Book A], page 55: "James H. Hewitt.

He was named as guardian of Thomas and Abram Simpson on 10 Mar 1763 in Onslow Co., NC.⁽⁵⁶⁾ John Hewitt and Richard Pitts put up security for the estate of the orphans of John Simpson. John Simpson married Anne, the widow of Goldsmith Whitehurst, and had children Abram and Thomas Simpson. Thomas Hewitt married Elizabeth Whitehurst, daughter of Goldsmith and Anne. The Simpson children would have technically been half-brothers-in-law to Thomas Hewitt, and if Thomas and John Hewitt were brothers, then to John as well. He was ordered to release estate to Thomas Simpson. on 10 Nov 1769 in Onslow Co., NC.⁽⁵⁷⁾ He was in May 1773 in Onslow Co., NC.

This Will was proved by the Oath of Spenser Linz Conaway and Thos Hewit qualifyed as Executor and Obtained Letters Testamentary July Court 1777. Teste: William [Crayland?]
He signed as a witness in Feb 1776 in Onslow Co., NC. Thomas and John Hewitt witness a deed from Benjamin and Silas Weeks concerning land on Whiteoak River, The Wharf (Swansboro), formerly occupied by Theophilus Weeks. At this time it is not clear if these are the elder John and Thomas, or two of the younger ones. He died in 1777 in Onslow Co., NC. Son John is named executor in the will, but Thomas is issued letters testamentary in the July Court 1777. This shows that the Thomas Hewitt who died by April Court 1777 could not have been the son of this John whose will was probated in July 1777. Parents: HEWITT.

He married to Mary about 1748.
It is possible that John's wife was Mary Willett, an older cousin of Abel and Willet Goffigon. The Goffigon brothers moved from Northampton Co., VA to Onslow Co., NC about 1761 with William and Caleb Goffigon. The Goffigon's were known to live next to John Hewitt by the early 1770s.

The given name Willett first shows up in the Hewitt line in this era.

Children were: Sarah HEWITT, John HEWITT Jr., Thomas HEWITT, William HEWITT (P?), Willett HEWITT (P?).

John HEWITT was born on 25 Nov 1754 in Onslow Co., NC.⁽⁵⁹⁾ He applied for a pension on 7 Nov 1832 in Onslow Co., NC. Application states that he is 78 years old and served in the Revolutionary War. He died in Oct 1834 in Onslow Co., NC. He applied for a dowry in May 1835 in Onslow Co., NC.⁽⁶⁰⁾ "Elsey" Huett requested dower in the property of her deceased husband, John Huett who had died, intestate, in Oct 1834, possessed of a tract of land in Onslow Co. of about 30 ac. with a dwelling house on the same, lying on the E side of Mitchell Swamp adj. land of John Morton, David Ketchum and Luke Huggins. on 21 May 1835 "Alice" Hewit was granted 422.00 for her year's support.

In the abstract of the sheriff's deed of 1788 to John Hewit, son of John Hewitt dec'd, there is a notation of "30 ac. to John Hewit". Does this relate to above 30 ac. of this John who d. 1834? Parents: Thomas HEWITT and Elizabeth WHITEHURST.

He married to Alse HOWARD before 1788. Children were: Linsy HEWITT, Goldsmith HEWITT (P?), Isaac HEWITT (P?).

John HEWITT (P?)⁽⁶³⁾ was born in 1785. We are uncertain who were the parents of this John Hewitt. The Caleb Smith family was known to associate with the early Hewitt's of the Whiteoak River area. The 1790 census record showing "Polly" Hewitt as the head of the household with a minor male child may imply that John belonged to Thomas and Mary. He appeared on the census in 1850 in White Oak District, Onslow Co., NC.⁽⁶⁴⁾ John (age 65) was living with wife Roda (age 64), son John (age 28), daughter Sarrah (age 18), and an elderly woman named Sarrah (age 72) who may have been his sister.
