A son of Thomas Conwell and Margaret Davidson, he moved with his father and siblings to Rush twp., Tuscarawas Co., Ohio after the death of his mother, arriving on October 27, 1827. He married Christian (Christina) Carruthers of Freeport twp., Harrison Co., in 1835. He was the father of Hulda Ann (Latto), John, James, Albert Brade, Joseph Kurtz, Jeremiah, Belinda Clementine (Craigo), and Nancy Eliza (Edwards). The farm on which he lived was deeded to him from his father - originally a land grant from President Andrew Jackson - at the time of his marriage. Jeremiah's wife was declared legally insane in 1860 after which he brought a lawsuit to force her siblings to sell the Carruthers home farm in order to obtain her share of the estate of her father. After dividing his own farm between his sons, the property he lived on was left to his daughter, Belinda, for having cared for his wife/her mother in her mental illness, and through the last months of her life, which were fraught with sickness. In 1886, Jeremiah made a trip out west to visit his daughter, Lide, and his sons, Jerry and Brade, with Brade accompanying him back home on the train - the local paper noting, "much the worse for wear." According to Tuscarawas Co. records, Jeremiah died of "general debility."
