DESCENDANTS OF CAPTAIN THOMAS HEWITT OF STONINGTON, CONN.. Compiled by Virginia Hewitt Watterson, 1996. Found in the Joseph Smith Library, Salt Lake City, Ut. Page 26.
    Born in Stonington, Conn., 2 May 1731 (VR), son of Joseph Hewitt and Mary Chesebrough; died after 1784, when mentioned in his father's will, date and place unknown. Joseph married SARAH BABCOCK, 27 May 1756, in Voluntown, Conn. (NYB&GR). Sarah was born in North Stonington, Conn., 18 Apr 1739 (VR), daughter of Nathaniel Babcock and Sarah Billings; she died in Petersbury, Rensselaer Co., NY on 27 Aug 1792 (Brown).
    Wheeler, in the HISTORY OF STONINGTON, CONN., was in error when he listed Joseph's wife as Mehitable (Brown) Swan. She was the 2nd wife of his father. During the French and Indian War, Joseph served in the Conn. militia from 10 Apr to 10 Dec 1764, in Capt. John Tyler's co., Lt. Col. Israel Putnam's regiment of Conn. troops.
    Joseph and Sarah lived in the Stonington area of Conn. until sometime before 1782, when they moved to New York and settled in Stephentown, Albany Co. (now Rensselaer Co.), NY. They were there at the time of the 1790 U.S. Census. It may be that after the death of his wife in 1792, Joseph moved to Providence, Saratoga Co., NY. No probate or cemetery records have been found for Joseph. THE NATHANIEL BABCOCK GENEALOGY, by Cyrus Henry Brown, mentions only two children belonging to Joseph and Sarah, a daughter Mary and a son Joseph. Wildey, in the GENEALOGY OF THE CHESEBROUGH FAMILY, listed 5 other children; Billings, Nathaniel, Samuel, David and Grace. No proof has been discovered to substantiate those children. The Nathaniel on the list has been confused with Nathaniel (#152), son of Nathaniel (#42), and some researchers have confused the Samuel on the list with Samuel (#190), son of Jonas Hewitt (#60).

   Born in Stonington, Conn., 10 May 1723 (VR), son of Elkanah Hewitt and Hannah Sterry; died after Feb. 1776, when his father drew up his will and mentioned his son Elkanah, date and place unknown. Elkanah married ELIZABETH MINER, 11 Oct 1740, at the 2nd Church of Christ, North Stonington, Conn. (CR). Elizabeth was born in Stonington, 24 Nov 1730 (VR), daughter of Samuel Miner and Elizabeth Brown; she died after May 1770, date and place unknown. Elkanah and Elizabeth resided in Stonington, Conn. where all of their children were born. No probate records or cemetery records have been found for this couple.
    It has been suggested that Elkanah may have married 2nd, Lucretia (Fish) Palmer, widow of Samuel Palmer, but no records have been found to substaniate that marriage (Boston Transcript, 12 Apr 1935, $38). Lucretia was baptized 25 Dec 1736, at the 1st Congregational Church of Groton, Conn. (VR), daughter of John Fish and Lucretia Parker; date and place of her death unknown.

This is from Tom Berns at [email protected]
Elkanah Hewitt, Jr. on the No. Stonington, Ct. web page states that there are no documents to substantiate the assertion that he remarried Mrs. Lucretia (Fish) Palmer [widow of Samuel Palmer] after the death of his first wife, Mrs. Elizabeth (Minor) Hewitt.  Actually, the probate papers for Captain John Fish of Groton (died abt. 1790) [Stonington District Probate Packets - avail. on microfilm loan from the LDS Library in Salt Lake City] includes a Will which refers to "my daughter Lucretia Hewitt" and a receipt signed by "Elkanah Hewitt and Lucretia Hewitt."  Furthermore, the Palmer Family believes that Thankful Hewitt (b. 1753  as Elkanah, Jr.'s daughter by Elizabeth Minor) married Ethel Palmer, instead of John Randall - as indicated in your history.  This supposition is perhaps circumstantially aided by the fact that Ethel and Thankful (Hewitt) Palmer's daughter Elizabeth married James Palmer, who was the son of Lucretia (Fish) (Palmer) Hewitt and therefore the step-brother of Thankful (Hewitt) Palmer.
