No. 28
Rev. Jesse Viets, son of Seth and Ruth (Smith), was born at Turkey Hills (now East Granby), February 1781. He was living at Westfield, Mass., when about twenty years of age, he became interested in religion, and associated with the M.E. Church, of which he was afterwards an efficient preacher. He probably removed with his father;s family to Pawlet, Vt. He was a minister of the M.E. Church, first in Vermont, and later in Ohio, his ministry covering a period of forty years, during twenty-one of which he was an ordained elder. There is a family tradition that while the Battle of Plattsburg was going on, which took place Sept. 11, 1814, on the New York side of Lake Champlain, Rev. Jesse was preaching, and within hearing of the battle. He was located for a time at St. Albans, Vt., and was the only minister in that region at the time, and consequently was called upon to officiate at a great number of weddings and funerals. From St. Albans, Mr. Viets moved westward with the tide of enterprising frontiersmen who settled the rich lands of Ohio, where he settled at Amboy in 1823. It is said that when he and his family decided to leave their old home and many tried and true friends there was great sorrow among all the people, and when the time of their departure was announced, everybody came from far and near to bid them farewell and Godspeed on their long and tedious journey. With all their earthly possessions in one wagon, and with one span

horses, they finally arrived in Amboy, Ashtabula county, O., and, it is needless to add, were all homesick, the mother in particular. But success finally crowned their efforts, and their last days proved to be their best. Mr. Viets organized the M.E. Church at Amboy, was its first pastor, and was a successful preacher in eastern Ohio for nearly twenty years. The end of his life did not come upon him as a thief. His house was in order. As a Christian he was a pattern of piety, his life being practical comment upon the gospel of Christ.
Jesse Viets married Dolly Ann Saxton, a woman spoken of posessing many Christian virtues. Both Mr. Viets and hos companion departed this life in the same year, 1842.
