      Among the very first entries in the records of Dracutt, comemorating an event which occurred many years previous, is this announcement, made by John Varnum, brother to Joseph, at that time Town Clerk: "Joseph Varnum & Ruth Jouett of Roully ware lawfully marrid in October ye 3 day in the year 1697."

      Ruth was the daughter of Capt. Joseph and Ruth (Wood) Jewett, and was born about 1681. Her tombstone in the little burial-ground, near "Navy Yard" in Dracutt, adjoining the spot where for many years,up to 1900, stood the old Garrison House, the residence of Col.
