Nelson Hewes (July 1, 1829 – March 1, 1864) was the son of Samuel H. and 
Priscilla (Wood) Hewes, early settlers of Tuscola Township.  Nelson married 
Adaline C. (Black) Hewes (November 12, 1832 – October 4, 1892), the daughter 
of Sylvester and Mehitable Black, who were also early settlers in the Vassar 
area.  Both families had lived in Newbury Township, Geauga County, Ohio, prior 
to moving to Tuscola County, Michigan. Nelson and Adaline had one daughter, 
Flora A. Hewes, who married Chester E. Cross.  Nelson, a sergeant in the 23rd 
Regiment, Michigan Volunteer Infantry, Company D, died of disease contracted 
during his military service.

Nelson’s widow Adaline married the widower Sabin Gibbs (October 3, 1823 – 
March 25, 1905), a son of Joel and Elizabeth (Root) Gibbs of Benson, Rutland 
County, Vermont.   Sabin was also an early Tuscola County settler, having 
moved to Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, Michigan in 1847, and then to Tuscola 
County in 1851.  Sabin’s first wife was Harriet (Watts) Gibbs by whom he had 
three children.  Sabin and Adaline had no children.
