In 1840, a Dominicus Sewell resided322 in Corinna, Maine. Whether that was the Dominicus Sewell of this profile isn't clear. Among the males In the household were 1 60-70 year old male, and 2 males age 20-30, of which Dominicus may have been one. There was 1 female 15-20 years of age, which might have been wife Martha, though she would've been 24 years old in 1840. Hillman800 suggests the oldest male may have been Dominicus' father. Corinna records (Book C p 1) lists deaths of Dea. Dummer Sewell, 28 Oct 1848, and Thomas R H Sewell, 25 Nov 1851. One of those may have his father and the other an uncle.
Dominicus' brother James married wife Martha's sister Mary Jane.
While in Maine, Dominicus was a farmer. After he moved to New York State, he peddled and repaired clocks and worked as a jeweller.
Sometime between 1880 and 1888, Martha and Dominicus moved to Covington, PA, not far south of Caton, probably to be near their son Edgar.
