JOHN F. F. JEWELL was born November 19, 1822, at Pageville, on Barren
River, Barren County, Ky., where he was reared to manhood and has since
resided. His father, Capt. George D. Jewell, was born August 4, 1797,
near Lexington, Ky., where he was reared to manhood, and in 1818 located
in Barren County. Here he engaged for thirty years as a freighter on the
river, and amassed a handsome estate, which was greatly impoverished by
the late war.  He was a huntsman of great skill, and exceedingly fond of
the chase, and probbly killed more deer than any other man in the
county.  He lost twenty-five slaves by the late war, and died in
January, 1876.  He was the son of Jonathan Jewell, Sr., a native of
Virginia, who died in Barren County about 1840, at the age of ninety-
four years, with his teeth all sound.  In 1821 George D. married Merena,
daughter of Fielding and Frances (Hardin) Fant of Allen County. She was
born December 20, 1801, and died January 16, 1883, and their offspring
are J. F. F., Louisa J. (Gibson and Winn), George W., William D., Thomas
J., America (Davidson), Gustavus H. and Margaret (Claypool and Lyon).
John F. F. was first married, February 8, 1853, to Eliza J., daughter of
Anderson and Harriet (Gillock) Wooten, of Barren County.  She was born
in 1834, and died April 1, 1854.  Their union was blessed by the birth
of one daughter, Eliza J. (Boles). March 27, 1860, Mr. Jewell married
Anna E., daughter of Dr. G. M. and Ermine (Frazier) Page, of Barren
County. She was born in 1840, and died March 29, 1874, the mother of the
following children:  Anna C. (Claypool), Maud D., Lee F. F., Samuel P.
and Willie N.  At the age of fourteen years Mr. Jewell commenced
clerking in his father's store, and thus continued for many years.  In
1860 he began on his own account the business of general merchant, stock
trader and dealer in leaf tobacco, and met with good success.  In 1880
he retired from business, and is now farming and raising shorthorn
stock.  He owns 1,500 acres of highly improved land, and resides in his
beautiful country mansion, called Beachland Place.  His losses by war
were heavy, including ten valuable slaves.  He was formerly an old line
Whig, but now affiliates with the Democratic party.
