MAGNA CHARTA BARONS

In 1925 I printed a list of the Bar ­ons who compelled King J ohn to s ign the bill of rig hts, called t he Magna Chart.a. There were twenty-five of them and eighteen of them have de.i­-cendant.s and are ma.rlrod wilh a •. Fifteen of the e i..\;h toen are ancestors of mine and are marked with a t .

These Baroni.al fam ilies intcnnar­ri ed so much that if you are descend­ed from ono you probably are .from many more, and, worse luck, many of you will find you are descended from King J ohn himself, as 1 am. Th~e twenty-live baroltll were sure­

tioo that J ohn would observe the MagNL Chart.a.. In a subseq\JOnt arto­icle I will tell you something about these Baroltll.

Many of you when you go to Eng­land !ail to put Runnymede on your \ist o! places to visit.

Runnymede, Where Is It 7 It is an island in Thames between

Stains and Windsor Castle, seventeen miles sout heast of London. Windsor ia t went y-Lwo mile.ii out of London.

A good many years ngo I, with mY daughter, Bonnie, now Mrs. ll. G. Welpton, went out from LQndon on bicyclwi to Windsor Ca;itle and

through the Great Pot rk, then over to Stoke Pogis to visit the ~aveyard of the old church. irnmortalbed b:r Gray who wrqte Gray's Elegy. On the lombstone which he en!eted a t his mother's grave he t ells of the fam­ily and his mother, and said: "One alone, meaning himself, was go un·

Genealogy- 84

fortuna.te a.s to sutvive her ." And after sitting in the family pew of Will iam Penn we go into the villnge of Staine~ and to Runnymede Md tried to pict ure that scene when King John reluctantly signed the M.apa Chart.a on June 15, 1215. Here they were on this beautiful meadowed i.111-and King John and bis friend• were in a tent on one bank o! the river, while the Barons were on the flat meadows running over to lhe ot.her bank. It was an ideal place !or the meeting.

He then joined the Detroit News as an advertising salesman, but that ca reer was a brief one. He left to become a coal salesman, but lost that job in the great panic of 1894. He then began to sell coal on consignment for I 0¢ a ton. By 1895 he had made a sma ll fortune sell ing to large operators, and he formed the company of Jewett and Bigelow which later became one of the largest coal operators in the middle west. This very successful career continued for the next 12 yea rs.

But Jewett had developed an interest in the infant automob ile industry. He became acqua inted with Hen ry Ford, and in fact bought one of the first cars Ford produced - 117. Mr. Jewett later said "I gave Mr. Henry F'ord his first order for an automobile. He picked me out number seven as being a good one and it certainly proved so."

His organization of the Paige Detroit Company in I 909 launched his career in the automobile industry, and he continued as a director of the company until he stepped in as president in 191 1.

Harry Mulford Jewett died June 15, 1933 of a sudden heart a ttack at the age of 62. He left behind an outstanding business record in several fi elds. His success with the Jewett Six automobile stands as an important achievement in the history of the automobile industry.
