1606 - 1648 (41 years)
Generation: 1
1. | Thomas Dewey was born on 20 Dec 1606 in Hinton Martell, Dorset, England; died on 27 Apr 1648 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut, USA. Other Events:
- Reference Number: 5731
- Birth: Bef 1613, England
Notes:
The first record of Thomas Dewey in the new world is 1633 in Dorchester. Speculation is that since he first appears in a record in 1633, he may have arrived in July 1633 on an unnamed ship which sailed from Weymouth, Dorsetshire, England. But again that is speculation.
It has been claimed that he was from Sandwich, Kent, but there is no evidence. And most of the early settlers of Dorchester were from the West Country of England, not Kent.
He married Frances Unknown, widow of Unknown Clark, in Windsor on 22 Mar 1638/39. It has been stated that her first husband was Joseph Clark of Windsor, but Clarence Torrey proved in 1928 that this was not the case.
Thomas died 27 April 1648 in Windsor.
His widow Frances remarried Nov 1648 the widower George Phelps, another of our ancestors.
Thomas Dewey appears in the "Great Migration Begins: Series" and the above information is from that source.
Among the descendants of Thomas Dewey are Mamie Eisenhower, Admiral Thomas Dewey and three of the "Beach Boys" Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson.

transcriptions of Westfield Vital Records show wife of this Josiah as Experience Dewey--but that appears to be a mistake, as children born later are listed to Hepzibah. Also, Ebenezer listed as son of Josiah and Experience in Westfield Vital Records shows as son of Josiah and Hepzibah on his gravestone. Also Hepzibahs gravestone in Lebanon's Old Cemtery is inscribed as husband of Josiah.
