Matthew Jouett II was born ca. 1735-41, to Matthew Jouett I and Susannah Price, in Hanover Co., Virginia. He married a Sarah, ca. 1758 in Louisa Co., in the part that split from Hanover Co., in 1742. The Hanover County deed book (1734-5) shows Matthew's father then, owning three tracts of land totaling 1874 acres. The first page of the Louisa County Order Book states "court was held at the house of Matthew Jouett [I], Gent., on Beaver Creek in the county of Louisa, the XVIII day of December in the year MDCCXLII" (1742). In 1743/45, a new Louisa courthouse/jail was built on Matthew's acreage, "at his expense". John I, the brother of Matthew II, established the 'Cuckoo Ordinary' by the Louisa Courthouse, which he operated until he sold it in Dec 1773. Within a few years, his brother John I opened another tavern, the 'Swan Ordinary' in Charlottesville, a short distance from Monticello, where his son, John 'Capt. Jack' Jouett II rode to on 3/4 June 1781, to warn then Governor Thomas Jefferson and Virginia Legislators, from being captured by British Commander Banastre Tarleton's cavalry unit of 250 men.

Besides John I, the other siblings of Matthew Jouett II were known as:
Mary (Jouett) Moore,
Henrietta (Jouett) Williams,
Frances (Jouett) Davenport,
Charlotte (Jouett) Gambill,
and possibly Susanna (Jouett) Walton
and possibly Elizabeth (Jouett) Gooch.

After his father Matthew I/Sr. died, Hanover court records document an indenture executed on 10 Aug 1762, between Matthew II and his brother John I, noting at the time they were both "of Louisa Co. - Trinity Parish". If Matthew II had turned 21 years old before or about this time, he would have been born before or about 1741. Matthew II and wife Sarah were still known on 6 Dec 1769, as being "of Trinity Parish", when they were noted as sellers to Henry Gambill (husband or father-in-law of Matt's sister Charlotte) of the same place, for 270 acres located therein, thus indicating they were soon moving to North Carolina.

In 1770, Matthew and Sarah Jouett removed their family to Orange Co., North Carolina, to the part that became Caswell Co., in 1777. Their home was on the Greensboro Road (Rt 150) just north of Country Line Creek, at current day Locust Hill. From March thru May of 1771, Matthew was on the payroll of the Orange Regiment of Militia, commanded by Capt. Nathaniel Hart Sr., during the Regulator Rebellion/Battle of Alamance, where Matthew served 70 days as a Sergeant Major and was paid by Capt. David Hart, 4 shillings daily, for £14 total. In 1774, Nathaniel Hart Sr. was chief negotiator for the Louisa Company, who was seeking the title and rights (unsanctioned) from the Overhill Cherokees to millions of acres of land situated between the Kentucky and the Cumberland Rivers, known as the 'Treaty of Sycamore Shoals'. In early 1775, the Louisa Company reorganized as the Transylvania Land Company (TLC), that was led by: Richard Henderson with partners; brothers - Nathaniel Hart Sr. & Thomas Hart III, David Hart; with prominent North Carolinians - Leonard H[enley] Bullock, James Hogg, William Johnston, John Luttrell and John Williams. David Hart and Leonard Bullock held 1/16 interests and the others held 1/8 interests.

The Hart brothers lived by Matthew on Country Line Creek, where Nathaniel lived at his plantation - 'Redhouse' on Nat's Fork. The Harts were sons of Thomas Hart II, who died 1755 in Hanover Co., Virginia, then moved ca. 1757 to Orange Co., North Carolina, with mother - Susannah (Rice) Hart - d/o Thomas Rice & Ann Marie "Marcy" Hewes. Susannah was also a sister of Hezekiah Rice - father of Jeptha Rice who married Nancy Jouett - d/o Matthew Jouett II. The Harts had likely been an impetus in some way, for Matthew to move his family to North Carolina. Matthew's father's land on Beaver Creek in Hanover Co., was close to where Thomas Hart II held land on Beaver Creek. The Hart-Jouett familiarity in Hanover Co. is shown in the security bond whereby Matthew's father was a court appointed administrator for the estate of the deceased - Reverend William Swift, and where the inventory appraisal was taken by Thomas Hart II - the Hart brothers' father, as referenced in the following court abstracts from the 'Early Book' of Hanover County, Virginia . . .

Also investigate pre-1778 Orange Co. North Carolina court docs. under: Jouet(t), Jewet(t), DeWit(t).

Matthew II knowing the Harts in Hanover County, Virginia, then later in North Carolina as neighbors and as fellow soldiers during the 1771 Rebellion, were obviously factors that allowed him to become affiliated with the TLC. He appears at Fort Boonesborough, about a month after it had been errected by Daniel Boone's team that blazed the Wilderness Trail over the Cumberland Gap to the Kentucky River. Journal notes of Colonel Richard Henderson, documents "Math. Jewet" was present at Fort Boonesborough when the first government meeting was held by white settlers west of the Appalachians . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "May 19, 1775 - Friday " . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"This evening Mr. Math. Jewet arrived here from Capt. [John] Floyd, whom with six other men, says he left about ten miles off on the west side of the river, looking land, etc. By him, heard Capt. Floyd was not at St. Asaph at the return of Col. [Thomas] Slaughter and Mr. [James 'Jim'] Harrod, and being afraid the town on that account has not proceeded to elect delegates to meet in convention."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "May 24, 1775 - Wednesday" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Convention met; sent a message acquainting me that they had chosen Col. Thomas Slaughter, Chairman, and Mr. Math. Jewet, Clerk [not a delegate]; of which I approved. Went and opened the business by a short speech, etc."

During the Revolution, Matthew Jouett/Jewet/DeWitt noted in these military units . . .
1) Organized 9 Sep 1775, disbanded 10 Apr 1776 - a Captain under Col. James Thackston in the Hillsborough District Minutemen;
2) Organized 22 Apr 1776 - Captain in Northern Orange Co. Regiment;
3) Reorganized 9 May 1777 - Caswell split from Orange - Captain in Caswell Co. Reg.
4) 1778, Matthew served as Captain of Infantry under Col. Exum Lewis Sr. of the Edgecombe Co. Reg., then served under Col. Francis Locke of the Rowan Co. Reg.
5) 1779, a Captain under Col. William Moore of the Caswell County Regiment. Matthew also served under Col. James Martin Sr. of the Guilford County Regiment.

An affidavit in the pension file of George Oldham [d 30 Mar 1840/SC] states: "Volunteered under Capt. Mat. Jouett of Col. William Moore's Reg't of North Carolina Militia and went down to Cape Fear [South Carolina] against the Scotch Tories commanded by [Lt.] Col. [Donald] McLeod, and before they got down [there] Gen'l [Richard] Caswell had defeated McLeod at Cape Fear [Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge, 27 Feb 1776] which was the first Battle in that part of the State [aka "the South's Lexington & Concord"], and He met the defeated Tories, and took away many prisoners who were paroled & sent home. He believes that he went down in the fall or winter of 1776 he was elected Ensign while out and on his return home was Commissioned Ensign of Capt. Matthew Jouetts Company of Militia in the Caswell Regiment. He was out about two months at this time. Having personally appeared and duly sworn by the State of South Carolina, Anderson District; on this fourth day of March 1833. George Oldham" [aka Colonel].

3 Mar 1779: Matthew was last documented in military service at the Battle of Brier Creek, in Georgia, at the confluence with the Savannah River on the South Carolina border. Matthew died in the Fall of 1779, since his will (Caswell Co WB A, p. 96) was written 9 Sep 1779, then was proved during the months of Sep - Nov, that same year. It's possible but unproven, Matthew may have died of complications from wounds received during battle on the 3rd of March 1779, as it was reported after, there were a large number of Patriots that suffered serious injuries, forcing them to retreat from the battle.

On 28 Jun 1782, Matthew was issued a certificate for a claim that was made on his behalf by his wife, likely in regards to his military service . . .

"No. 258 - State of North Carolina, Hillsborough District Auditor's office the 28th day of June, 1782 -- this may? certify? that Matthew Jouett exhibited his Claim? and was allowed Thirty Five Pound and Eight Shillings Spence Test. - Je Rice Clk, John Nichols, A.E. Murphy. £35 & 8 Shillings Spence" See attached picture. About $7500 in 2020.

As well, Sarah was issued another certificate for reimbursement by the State of North Carolina, for approximately twice the amount of the first one, as noted below . . .

"No. 311 – State of North Carolina Hillsborough Dist: Auditors office, 29th of June 1782
This may certify that Sarah Jouett exhibited her claim? and was allowed Seventy Pounds Ten Shillings Five Pence. Test - Je Rice Clk, John Nichols, A.E. Murphy £ 70 & 10 Shillings 5 Spence". "John Brown & Sarah Jouett" are noted on the other side of the certificate. See attached picture. About $15000 in 2020.

On 29 Oct 1782, a 700 acre military land warrant grant (#295/297) was issued to "Matthew Jewett in Caswell County, on the waters of Country Line Creek".
Book #43, page, 196.

Settlement of Matthew's estate covered the years 1779 - 1793, and when appraised/divided, had carried title to 10/12 slaves. John E. Brown was designated as a legatee in Matthew's estate. John had been living in South Carolina, where he was a loyal friend of Gen. Francis Marion. For John's devotion and for aiding and abetting Marion, he was driven from South Carolina, where his first wife - Anne Bedford, had died by the hands of the Tories as their property was torched. John was said to have Edmunds family in Caswell Co., this being where he escaped to afterwards.

About or shortly after 1782, Matthew's wife - Sarah, married John Brown, who built a home on Jouett's land that exists today as the John Brown/Calvin Graves/Charles Yarbrough home (see attached pictures). Across the road, John re-established Jouett's Smithe as Brown's Store, and claims to be known today as the oldest standing commercial structure in Caswell Co. (see attached pictures). Sarah Jouett-Brown filed in Caswell Co. Court on 22 Nov 1798 (Book C, page 363) to receive her dower rights from her deceased second husband's estate - John Brown, whose will was written 7 Jun 1798 (Book C, page 353). Sarah Jouett-Brown died about or soon after 1800. John and Sarah had no children together. John's son - Jethro Brown, inherited the home his father built, as well as other land where in 1802, Jethro built a home for his son Bedford Brown, known as 'Rosehill', less than two miles east of Jouett's Smithe / Brown's Store (see attached topo map).

Matthew Jouett II, wife Sarah Jouett-Brown and her 2nd husband John Brown, are by tradition, laid to rest in a family burial cemetery on their homestead at Locust Hill, on the same property Matthew Jouett II settled in 1770, across the road from today's Stoney Creek Methodist Church and Cemetery. The Stoney Creek Cemetery was where the Yarbrough family was the first on record to be buried there and they also owned at one time, the home built by John Brown. Jouett's land was 900 acres = 1.4 sq miles = 6300 ft X 6300 ft = well within a 2600 foot - or half mile distance of the Jouett-Brown home and store (see attached topo map). Between 1957 - 1981, Jethro & Lucy Brown's stone was moved from the Brown Cemetery, to their son - Bedford Brown's home at Rosehill. The Brown Family Cemetery per Carolina Caswell - 47164136, is said to "contain dozens of unmarked graves although a few are marked with fieldstones."

Matthew attended the College of William and Mary to receive his surveyor's certification, then in 1776, he went to Kentucky and became one of the largest landowners there, receiving 48 land grants for 67,000 plus acres.

In 1792, both Matthew and John are documented as subscribers to the improvement of the Wilderness Road and they are noted as such, right next to one another on a non-alphabetized subscriber list in the book,'The Wilderness Road - a description of the routes of travel by which the pioneers and early settlers first came'. This giving further weight to the likelihood that this Susanna Walton was a daughter of Matthew Jouett I/Sr. and Susanna Price Moore. When Matthew Walton died, Frances remarried to U.S. Congressman/Senator - John Pope. Matthew was not known to have children with Frances.

In 1752, a 'Thomas Jouett' was documented buying land in Albemarle Co. Virginia, who was possibly an uncle, brother or cousin of Matthew II, that does not appear again in the same general time frame or geographic area. 'Thomas' was a common Jouett name, as a son and two grandsons of Matthew II were given the same name.

This Matthew Jouett II, should not be confused with his Albemarle Co., Virginia nephew, Capt. Matthew Jouett, who died after the Battle of Brandywine in 1777; or
Matthew Harris Jouett, grand nephew-the famous painter who lived in Fayette Co., Kentucky.

There is no known legitimate first hand documentation indicating Matthew's wife's maiden name was Rodgers or any other. There is also no bonafide documentation indicating his or his father's middle name was Pierre. The compiler is open to detailing any original provenance indicating otherwise.

Compilation by Mark Hayden, a 5th great grand nephew of Mourning Glenn (Harris) Jouett, who was a sister-in-law of Matthew Jouett II.
