Thomas DEWEY was the eldest son of Major Zebediah DEWEY, of Poultney, Vt., who took an active part in the battle of Hubbardton, and probably also in the battle of Bennington. Major DEWEY was born in Barrington, Mass., in 1726, and was probably descended from one of the proprietors of Poultney. He was a great lover of hunting. Major Dewey died at Poultney on the 28th of October, 1804.
Thomas married an ASHLEY, and moved to Milton on the 15th of February, 1782, settling on the farm now owned by Mrs. Lucretia B. WITTERS, about one and a half miles south of Milton Falls.
He was soon followed by his brothers Zebediah and Azariah, and three sisters -- Beulah, wife of Elisha ASHLEY, Anna, wife of Samuel MURDOCK, and Keziah, wife of Warren HILL and grandmother of Mrs. WITTERS. Zebediah DEWEY settled on the farm on the corner just east of the village, on the old stage road, now the property of Jed P. CLARK.
The two brothers took a prominent part in the improvements of the town when they came, and were respected by their townsmen. They both died of the epidemic of 1813; Thomas in January and Zebediah on the 16th of April. Many of their descendants still reside in Milton, though there is none by the name of DEWEY.
