In 1854, Mr. H.G. Somerby, who had lived in England for a number of years collecting data concerning New England families, found in the course of his examinations at Bradford, the will of Edward Jewett, the father of Maximilian and Joseph. From that paper it was first learned that the family was from Bradford, instead of Rowley, (as was reported in the family history) and as the will mentions "wife Mary; sons William, Maximilian, and Joseph; and daughter Sarah" the names of the children were obtained, but it was not until about a year later that the marriage record of Edward Jewett and Mary Taylor and the baptismal records of the children came to light.
