    Born in Stonington, Conn about 1752, son of Abijah Hewitt and Mary _____; died at sea, probably during the Revolutionary War. Amos married ANNA MINER, 19 Mar 1775, at the 2nd Church of Christ, North Stonington, Conn. (CR). Anna was born in Stonington, 22 Jul 1754 (VR), daughter of Simeon Miner and Ann Hewitt (#41); she died in Charlton, Saratoga Co., NY, 29 Mar 1839, age 84 years (tombstone) and was buried in the Presbyterian Church Cemetery at Charlton, NY.
    After her husband's early death, Anna and her son, Amos, Jr., went to Cayuga Co., NY before 1795. The son apparently died as a young man in Cayuga Co. Anna then went to live with her brother-in-law, Thomas Hewitt (#114), and his family. She remained with them the rest of her life and was living with them in Broadalbin, Montgomery Co., NY, and later n Charlton, Saratoga Co., NY, where she died at their home. Thomas, in his will written 9 Jan 1837, provided for his wife and for his sister-in-law, Anna Hewitt, the rest of their natural lives (Saratoga Co. Probate Records, Book 13, pp. 463-466).
     Wheeler, in his book, THE HISTORY OF STONINGTON, CONN., p. 423, incorrectly identified Anna's husband as Amos (#66), the son of Henry Hewitt and Joanna Denison, but that Amos Hewitt died at Canterbury, Conn., 17 May 1753, at age 16 years, and was buried in the Old Weaver Cemetery in Canterbury (VR and tombstone). Wheeler stated that Anna's husband was lost at sea and the widow went to Cayuga Co., NY to live with her son, Amos, Jr. but she didn't stay long and then went to live with her husband's brother, Thomas Hewitt, until her death many years later. Other authors of genealogies, which mention this Anna Miner, who married Amos Hewitt, such as John Augustus Miner in his book, THOMAS MINOR AND HIS DESCENDANTS, p. 78 have perpetuated the Wheeler error.
