Clewell Family Official Site

Welcome to the Official Clewell Family Website

On October 5, 1737, a twice-widowed mother

and her two fatherless, young sons

arrived friendless and penniless in an unfamiliar land.

Their lives could have ended in a whisper,

but because of their courage, strength,

and faith in the providence of God, our ancestors proudly forged

their "chapter" in the history of this great Nation.

~ In America Since 1737 ~

The picture shown above is an artist's rendition of the arrival of Louisa Frache

Clavell (Clewell) and her sons, Franz and George in America.

They arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Oct 5, 1737.

Did you know that on October 5, 2009,

our earliest known Clewell ancestors

arrived in America 272 years ago?
