William Jewett/Juett/Jouett (abt 1766-abt 1821) and Anna Falkoner (Faulconer) (1769-1834) were the parents of Ellen Jane (Nellie) Jewett Gouge (1789-1849) wife of James M Gouge (1777-1858/60).
William and Anna Falkconer Juett (Jewett, Jouett) are thought to have moved from Virginia to Bourbon (now Harrison) County Kentucky, where Nellie was born.
William Jewett‘s parents were John Jewett (?-?) and Mourning Harris (?-?). John may have been a Captain of Virginia Militia during the American Revolution - although this identification may be confused with a son, Jack Jewett.
John's parents were Mathew Jouett (?-abt 1734) and Susannah Moore (?-?). John Jewett's grandson (and therefore cousin of Nellie Jewett/Juett Gouge) was Matthew Harris Jouett (1788-1827), a well known portrait painter of Lexington, KY.
William Jewett's brother and the father of the painter, was Captain Jack Jewett (1754-1822), who, after the Revolutionary War, settled in Woodford County KY on Craig‘s Creek Pike. In 1781 Captain Jack raced from Cookoo Tavern in Louisa County VA to Charlottesville to warn Virginia Governor Thomas Jefferson and the colonial legislature of the approach of British soldiers. The governor and the legislature got away just in the nick.
The Jewett family of Virginia appears to have been Huguenots (French Calvinists) whose surname in France may have been De Jouet. After 1685, many Huguenots immigrated to America, fleeing political and religious persecution in France. These troubles were precipitated during the Protestant Reformation of the previous century. In France bitter and bloody sectarian fighting was only temporarily and intermittently settled by the 1588 Edict of Nantes, which divided French cities and regions into Protestant and Catholic enclaves. The edict offered a measure of security to both camps, but was revoked by King Louis XIV.
William Juett's mother, Mourning Harris is said to have been born in 1732, daughter of Robert Harris and Mourning Gleason Glenn. Mourning Harris married John Jouett (?-1805) in Albemarle County, VA.
