Daniel A. Jewell (1822-1896) was the man for whom the mill village of Jewell, Georgia was named. It is located on an old Indian trail which crossed the Ogeechee River. Nearby sites are a textile mill, a grist mill and an iron foundry. He was a Massachusetts native who moved to Georgia around 1847 at about age 25. In the mid-1850s, he operated D.A., Jewell and Company, a wool-manufacturing firm, and this was his occupation just prior to the purchase of the Rock Factory. He moved to Jewell (then called Rock Factory) in 1859. During the war, Jewell joined the Ogeechee Minute Men, formed in 1863 and Jewell (a Northerner) was the one who asked the state’s adjutant general for weapons. The town remained Rock Factory until about 1869-79. It was incorporated a Jewell’s Mills in 1872. The U.S. post office at Jewell’s was established in 1873 with Jewell as postmaster, later succeeded by his son, D.A. Jewell, Jr. Jewell is on the National Register of Historic Places from which most of this information was derived.
