Gegevens uit de hand geschreven familie annalen:

John Chew was born in Boston USA and first recorded as seaman, empl in20th September 1773. (Thomas Helmer: this conflicts with the year of birth of 1775.)

John was an American/Scottish mariner from Calcutta, Commander of the H.C. Brig "Sophia".

On a mission up river in India, he was captured by one of the Radjah’s and released.

He died 2nd February 1829 in Calcutta, being pensioned from 19thOctober 1824 as Branch Pilot (= Commander). (Thomas Helmer: this combined with the year of birth of 1775 makes him 49 when pensioned.)

When he died his wife Isabella Rachel was given a Marine pension of Britsh Pounds 100/annum.

There is also a John Chew who accompanied the prisoners of the 1st Fleet to Australia in 1787. This John Chew returned to England in 1792 and could very well be the same as the above person.

In the tree below, I have listed materials based upon those presentedin a book by the family of Robert Levering CHEW. Other materials werefound in a "Family History on Philemon Lloyd CHEW" by Ruth C. Kunkle. Materials in these sources are proved by various references and willeventually be found in the SURNAME list for the specific familymember. This genealogy information is based upon research using USCensus data; Mongomery County Historical Society records; Maryland State Archives; LDS Family History Center records and ULRICH and CLARK family information.

The word CHEW generally means winding water, the EW being a varian ofthe French EAU meaning water. The word CHEWER is a western dialect fora narrow passage and CHARE is Old English for turning. The River Chewthat runs through Somerset to the River Avon is a narrow, twistingriver of water. Many believe that the name CHEW began in Normandy asCHEUX, and came to England with the Norman Conquest during the 11thcentury. The earliest record of the name CHEW is in the DomesdaySurvey, the name CHEW appears as CHIWE when it states that the Bishopof Wells holds CHIEW. The city of Wells is in Somersetshire aboutforty miles from the Devonshire boundary. The belief that CHIWE refersto Chew Magna located about fifteen miles to the north. Note thatDevonshire is where Le Cu was granted land (bounded by Somersetshireto the northeast). The name also appears as Chyu in 1164 at Bath, andKeu in 1260 at Suffolk and as Chewe as far North as Lancashire in1430. It isn't certain when the surname CHEW or CHEWE becamepermanently adopted, but it was about the last half of the 14thcentury. There is a John Chewe at Salisbury in 1383. About 300 yearsafter the name was Chiwe Magna was mentioned by the Bishop of Wells.It is believed that the name was taken from places like CHEW MAGNA orCHEWTON.

(Thomas Helmer: any connection to this family remains to be proven.)
