Hewitt Street or Hewett Street?�I�t can be spelled either way depending on the�interpretation of the person spelling it.�

There is Hewitt�Street, the�Hewett�Addition map,�a few of the�U.S. census�spelled it both�ways, and so,�it just depends.�

A few facts about the man whose name we�question.�Henry Theodore Hewitt was born Jan. 21. 1829�in Winchester, Litchfield, Conn. He was�educated in Conn. and at the academy in N Y.�After that schooling was finished he went onto�learn the carpentry and mill weights trades�which benefited him greatly later in life.�He arrived in San Francisco June 27, 1852 then�moved onto Sacramento and then onto the�mines where he stayed five (5) years and then�moved on to spent some time with the William�Walker Campaign in Nicaragua and finally�settled in Santa Rosa. He lived and created�many businesses during the twenty (20) years�he lived here. Most of the information I found�about him was taken from the pages of a site�called Geneology.com. He was a contractor,�builder and manufacturer of lumber operations�of a planing mill and dealt in all kinds of building�material.�I wasn’t able to locate much information from�the Santa Rosa Library annex and that�surprised me since he seemed to be so�involved in the area. I was hoping to locate�where his lumber business, hardware store and�planing mill were located – it simply said near�the railroad station.�I am going to list businesses I read about. The�H.T. Hewitt & Co. Planing Mill Lumber Yard�Hardware Store near railroad depot. Real estate�

on 4�th� Street. A group of incorporators seeking�to start a new water company called Mark�West Water Co. Chairman of the Executive�Committee of the Workingman’s Party and a�delegate from Santa Rosa. He was elected�chairman of the Greenback Labor Party. Along�with a man named Mr. Baker they were�proprietors of the Santa Rosa Flour Mill on�Petaluma Rd. These same two men owned the�Woolen & Tannery Mill with Mr. Hewitt being�president which he was later removed from.�

He died May 28, 1898.�H. T. Hewitt’s health began to fail him and�around the 1880’s he moved to San Jacinto,�CA where interesting enough he once again�got involved with ranching and building…this is�a another story.�Not sure what happened to his first wife Jane�since she was alive when he married the�second time…this also is another story.�I have put together a small file and if you would�like to have a look/see please contact me. I�was able to buy Hewett Addition map from the�county and also some deed transactions which�I can’t make head or tails of.�
