Hewett of Stone

Our line are the direct descendents of Henry Ponting and Jane Jones who married on 23 April 1839 at Berkeley Parish Church (Chapter 4).

Jane Jones was the daughter of John Jones and Mary Hewett who married at Berkeley on 29 June 1805 (Appendix K).

Mary Hewett was baptised on 3 December 1781 at Hill. She was the daughter of Thomas Hewet and Elizabeth or "Betty" Gazzard. Thomas and Betty Hewett were my great x 5 grandparents.

Thomas Hewett and Betty Gazzard.

Thomas Hewet is believed to have been born around 1746, other researchers suggest he was the son of Robert Hewett (1715 to 1801) and Mary Hathaway (1722? to ?) and had been baptised on 5 March 1747 at Thornbury. 

Thomas Hewett married Betty Gazard on 12 May 1779 at Stone. Betty was only able to make her mark. The witnesses were Wm Taylor and Hannah Cullimore. Judging by their ages at the time of their burials Thomas had been born around 1746 and Betty would have been born around 1754.

Betty Gazard was baptised 17 April 1754 in Stone, the daughter of Richard Gazard and Hannah Cullimore who married on 9 June 1740 at Thornbury.  Her father Richard had died in 1776 and in his will  made in 1771 he names Betty's siblings:

• Anne Gazard. Baptised 10 October 1741 at Stone. Anna married Sam Sharpe on 17 August 1763 at Stone. They had a daughter Betty Sharpe, baptised 2 December 1766 at Berkeley and was buried on 31 March 1772 at Berkeley.  Samuel Sharpe died in 1767 and his widow Anne in 1771. 
  
• Mary Gazard. Baptised 18 June 1744 at Stone. Mary married Willm Cullimore on 13 October 1764 at Stone. They had three children Hannah Cullimore, baptised 28 January 1766, died 1766, Joseph Cullimore, baptised 10 March 1767 at Coaley and Hannah Cullimore baptised 13 November 1768. William Cullimore had died on 21 February 1768 at Tortworth, seemingly when his wife was pregnant with their last child. 
  
• John Gazard. Baptised 30 July 1748 at Stone. John Gazard was buried on 12  April 1779 at Stone. 
• Joanna Gazard. Baptised 28 May 1750 at Stone. Joanna married Francis Hale on 31 December 1777 at Berkeley They had two sons William Hale, baptised 30 November 1778 and John Hale, baptised 7 January 1780 in Stone. Joanna died on 24 April 1797,    
  

There had been other brothers Richard Gazzard who had been baptised on 7 April 1743 and died on 10 April 1743 and James Gazard who was baptised in 1746 and died on 26 June 1759. 

Betty's mother, Hannah Gazzard died on 14 September 1778.

In 1841 Thomas and Betty Hewett were living at Stone. Also at the address was Susan Cornock, aged 25 and Sophia Smart, aged 15. No relationships are given, but Susanna Cornock is likely to have been the daughter of Nicholas Cornock and Elizabeth Hewet, Thomas and Betty's granddaughter (See below).

Betty Hewett died aged 90 on 7 December 1844 and was buried on 13 December 1844 at Stone. Thomas died on 18 December 1844 having survived his wife by just 11 days. His obitary in Gloucester Journal dated 28 December 1844 is below: 

Both were buried at Stone and the monumental description describes Betty as the "relict of Thomas Hewet, daughter of Richard Gazard". 

Robert Hewett and Hannah Bennett

Robert Hewet was baptised 13 December 1779 at Hill, the son of Thos Hewett and Elizth (Betty).

Robert married Hannah Bennett on 23 February 1813 at Thornbury. The marriage was reported in the Hereford Journal of 3 March 1813. Hannah is described as the daughter of Mr J Bennett of Falfield.

They had a daughter, Elizabeth Hewett who was baptised 11 June 1821 at Stone.

In 1841 Robert, Hannah and Elizabeth were living at Stone where Robert was farming.

Elizabeth appears to have died at the age of 22 and was buried at Stone on 3 February 1844.

Robert died on 20 March 1845 aged 66 and was buried at Stone. He shares a memorial stone with his parents. 

In his will he appoints his brother Thomas Hewett and his brother in law Leonard Bennett (presumably Hannah's brother) as executors and leaves everything to his wife Hannah and thereafter his brothers and sisters, indicating that Hannah and he had no further children. His nephew William Wetmore (see below), who was living with them at the time that the will was made is also mentioned. 

His wife Hannah died on 21 January 1849 aged 68 and she was buried on 25 January 1849 with her husbands family at Stone.

Nicholas Cornock had been baptised on 7 March 1781 at Berkeley. He was the son of William Cornock and Sarah Cook. William Cornock and Sarah Cook had married on 10 September 1772 at Thornbury.

• Ann Cornock. Born 1817 at Tan House Farm. Baptised 18 May 1817 at Aust, daughter of Nicholas and Elizabeth Cornock. Strange, but not unheard of for two siblings to be given essentially the same name!! The same thing had happened in Nicholas Cornock's family.
