Hazzard’s History of Henry County, pp. 365-67. [Edited to provide data relevant to William, the father] Biographical Sketch of Harvey Brown Chew:The parents of Harvey Brown Chew were William Chew (born February 14, 1816; died October 14, 1901) and Mary (Brown) Chew (born October 4, 1816; died September 28, 1886). The father was a native of North Carolina and the mother of Clinton County, Ohio. They were married at Wilmington, Clinton, County, Ohio, October 13, 1835. Both are buried in the Friends Cemetery at Clear Spring, Henry County, Indiana.
Ephraim Chew, the grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was born in Virginia, June 6, 1790, and his wife, Rachel (Knight) Chew was born in North Carolina, January 12, 1791. They were married September 14, 1814, and were the parents of eight children, William Chew being the eldest.
William and Mary (Brown) Chew were the parents of the following children: Cynthia Ann, now the widow of Samuel Mills, living in Madison County, Indiana, near Middletown, Henry County; Rachel; Jane [should read Rachel Jane]; Lydia Ellen; Harvey Brown; Morris R.; Miles, who lives at Kennard; William H., living north of Wilkinson in Hancock County; Mary, now Mrs. David Casey, living near Shirley, and Lydia Ellen and Morris R., both deceased are buried at Clear Spring.
This family emigrated from North Carolina to Clinton County, Ohio, settling near Wilmington, about the year 1820, and lived at that point until 1836. After the marriage of William, the whole family removed to Indiana and located in Spiceland Township, Henry County, near the old Stone Quarry Mill on Blue River. Ephraim Chew was a practical farmer and soon after coming to the state bought land. Himself and wife died a little prior to the beginning of the Civil War and are buried in Elm Grove Cemetery, west of Spiceland, in Wayne Township.
William Chew first established a home of his own near Ogden but afterwards moved to Greensboro Township in 1851 and settled on a farm a half mile west of the present town of Kennard. He was a public spirited man, highly esteemed and did much to build up and advance the interests of the community. He served as a Justice of the Peace for almost a quarter of a century. In politics he was first a Whig and when that party ceased to exist, he became an active and aggressive Republican. He cast his first vote for William Henry Harrison for president in 1840. Himself and wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church to which denomination they were sincerely devoted. During the Civil War, he embraced every opportunity to aid and support the local, state and national administrations and in every way in his power sustained the cause of the Union.

Newberry MM, Martinsville, Clinton Co., OH: Records show he is the son of Ephraim and Rachel, a twin to Mary, both born Feb. 14, 1814.
Henry County Health Department, Death Certificate: The record shows he died Oct. 14, 1901 at age 85 y and 8m of old age; parents named were Ephraim and Lydia (Night) Chew; burial was Clear Spring. The calculated birth date of Feb. 14, 1816, and the mother's name, Lydia, both conflict with the Quaker records. (Death certificate data is only as accurate as the informant.)
Henry County Health Department Record, New Castle, Henry Co., IN: Died Oct. 14, 1901 at age 85 yrs. and 8 mos of old age. Parents were Ephraim and Lydia (Night) Chew. Burial in Clear Spring.
