Martha Hurstan VEAZIE b. 1816 Dec 379 at Maine215. d. 1892 Nov 14237 at Covington, PA237.

Married2317 1838 Feb 112317 at Corinna or Orono, ME2317. The town records for Orono, Maine, p 389 (FHL film 11723 DGS 7595779 img 215 of 580): 1838 "Published an intention of marriage between ... " Feby 11 "Also Mr Dominicus Sewall of Orono and Miss Martha H Veazie [both of Orono crossed out] of Corinna"

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.

On 18 Sep 1888, The Wellsboro (PA) Agitator reported238 that "Mr D Sewell," age 72 years, died at Covington, PA, on 22 Aug. The Corning (NY) Journal (fultonhistory.com), Oct 11, 1888, in the Caton (NY) Local Matters column, reported that "Mrs Martha Sewell, widow of the late D Sewell, of Covington, formerly of this place, is visiting relatives here." On 16 Nov 1892 (Wednesday), the Wellsboro Agitator237 reported in "Matters At Covington" that "Mrs D Sewell" died on Monday at age 77 years, leaving 2 sons, E. P. and Albert Sewell.
