The 1840 census (Reel 403, M704) has 3 children (correct) with 2 adults over 60 in household (Parents ? - JEWETT or SHOCKLEY). The OHIO 1850 census (Reel 694, M432) has the name as JUETT with 6 children as follows: Collins M. (1833), Cynthann (1836), Columbus C. (6-7-1838), Samantha J. (1842), James B. (1845), Eizabeth M. (1848). The family moved to LOGAN Co, Illinois near the end of 1850 and was also counted in the census there with an one more child whose name was Harriet Levina Jewett that was born in Illinois after the move. I have all family DATA for decendants of Christopher. Info for SHOCKLY parents at (www.escape.com/~patpnyc/shockley.htm).
I need to document parents of Augustus, his death and burial. Our belief is that he died in early 1850's near LOGAN Co, Illinois near Elkhart or Middletown. The 1860-Lincoln Precinct-LOGAN CO, IL census has Joanne Shockley Jewett with 3 children : Christopher, Elizabeth and Harriet. Do not know if others were out of household or deceased as they are not listed in 1860 Illinois or Ohio Census. Are there any burial records the sons named COLLINS M. or JAMES B. Jewett? Unconfirmed info for girls-married to "HAND, PERKINS & Ansbauch" and then then moved to Clarinda, IOWA? Christopher to IOWA, then NE.
Are there any JEWETT/ JUETT/ JUITT/ SHOCKLEY/ DRISKELL/ REDDISH or HAND, PERKINS or ANSBACK, still in Highland County? Augustus B Jewett/Juett is reported to be linked to the JOUETT family in Kentucky but cannot find that family connection.

JEWETT / JUETT / JUITT / JOUETT / SHOCKLEY / DRISKELL / REDDISH /PERKINS
Augustus Brown JEWETT, (b 1810, Highland Co, OH) married Joanne SHOCKLEY (b 1814 , Highland Co, OH) in HIGHLAND Co in April, 1832. They lived in Jackson Twp and after 1840 moved to Greenfield Twp and then to Madison Twp. The 1840 HIGHLAND Co census (Reel 403, M704) has 3 children (correct) with 2 adults over 60 in household (Parents ? Jewett or Shockley). Unable to document the parents for Augustus, his death or burial. Augustus Jewett/Juett is reported to be from the JOUETT family in Kentucky but cannot link to family line. The info for Joanne Shockley Jewett & her ancestors is well documented and is located at (http://www.escape.com/~patpnyc/shock1de.htm).
The 1850 Highland Co, OH census (Reel 694, M432) has name as JUETT with 6 children. Collins M. (1833), Cynthann (1836), Christopher C. (6-7-1838), Samantha J. (1842), James B. (1845), Eizabeth M. (10-9-1847).
The Augustus JEWETT family moved to Logan Co, Illinois at the end of 1850 & they are also recorded in the 1850 census there with one addl child named Harriet Levina. Our belief is that Augustus died in early 1850's in Logan Co, IL. The 1860-Lincoln Precinct, LOGAN CO, IL. census has Joanne Shockley Jewett with 2 children, Christopher & Elizabeth but no mention of Harriet who we know followed Christopher to Iowa where both Elizabeth & Harriet were married. Do not know if others were out of household (Collins, Cynthann, Samantha, James) or deceased as could not find documented elsewhere in 1860 census for OH or IL. Uncomfirmed - that Cynthann or Elizabeth married a PERKINS & went to Chicago. Are there any marriage or burial records for JEWETT/JUETT - Collins, James, Cynthann, or Samantha in Highland Co, Ohio or in Logan & Sangamon Co. Illinois? Also, at this time Joanne Shockley Jewett is lost as we do not know if she remarried or died during the Civil War time period. The enlistment papers for Christopher who joined the Illinois 2nd Cavalry on 8-12-1861 lists his home town as Springfield, IL. I have all family DATA for decendants of Christopher C. Jewett who married Miranda Mecay on her fathers farm
(Abel & Mary (Spindler) Mecay) near Elkhart, Illinois. Christopher & Miranda moved to Riverton, Fremont Co, Iowa in 1868 & their first child was born there in 1869. There were 7 children born in Iowa & Nebraska. Christopher moved to Riverton, Fremont Co, Iowa where 5 children were born & then on to Ord, Valley Co, NE where 2 more born. Elizabeth moved to Sidney, Fremont Co, IA where she married Hugh HANN on 6-20-1869 and there were 7 children. Harriet moved to Clarinda, Fremont Co, Iowa where she married Martin Robert Ansbach from Lorraine, France on 1-8-1871 and there were 3 children.
Are there any JEWETT / JUETT / JUITT / JOUETT / SHOCKLEY / DRISKELL / REDDISH or PERKINS still in Highland Co, Ohio? I would like to locate or exchange information on AUGUSTUS BROWN JEWETT and connect with other missing relatives. Does anyone know anything of these families? Any help at all or comments will be greatly appreciated as we are now clueless.
