Josiah Hovey was a Private

Today I found Josiah Hovey in the list of patriots that the Daughters of the American Revolution recognize for satisfying membership requirements.  He was a Private who apparently served under Col. Jonathan Chase.

Hi,

Are you still having an on again off again relationship with the genealogy bug? I have been entertaining the notion of coming up with a way to connect the Hoveys of North America.

Any interest?

Sure -- it's definitely on/off as time allows, but I'm still interested in learning more of the history.

I am a descendant of Daniel Hovey through my fraternal great grandmother. I have the Hovey book and finally, last summer, did some research and found out how I am connected -- more later.

It would be great if we could have another reunion in Ipswich. I am also a descendant of Joseph Jewett of Rowley who arrived in America in 1638. The Jewett family will have another reunion in 2015.
