Thomas Dew lived in St. Dunstan, London, England. His will was dated March 13, 1624.
A stationer was a person who sold books and materials for writing and publishing.
The complete works of Shakespeare include a curious play called "The Troublesom Raigne of King John". Thomas Dew owned exclusive publishing rights to it in 1622. Dew wasn't the printer, but producer of the book. Dew hired a man named August Mathewes to print the book.
Yet Dew got the profits from the book, which Dew sold in his London bookshop. Dew could have also sold to other booksellers who wanted to stock that particular book. Once the print run was sold out, Dew would have been the one to decideif and when to have another edition printed. He could have also sold the rights to another printer, or leave it to his heirs when he died.

"John Dewe apparently returned to England to be educated, probably living with some of his English Dew relatives. (1)
"Mentioned in the will [of John Dewe I] was only one child, John Dew Jr, a son. Not mentioned in the will was Lewis Dew, who may have been a posthumous child. His name is recorded only one time, when it appeared in Chowan County, NC, June 7, 1715. (12)" — Sarah Mae Dew
DNA testing raises concerns about traditionally accepted family lines.
"In the late 1930s, Ernestine Dew White published GENEALOGY OF SOME OF THE DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS DEW COLONIAL VIRGINIA PIONEER IMMIGRANT. Until recently, this book has been the primary published source for DEW / DUE genealogy.
The early results of the DEW Surname DNA Project is calling into question the family connections made by Mrs. White in her book. The Dew Project has identified six genetically unrelated Dew families, two in England and four in the United States.
In addition, a careful reading of Mrs. White's book reveals that while she connects a number of early immigrants to North America, with the Dew surname, to Colonel Thomas Dew of Nansemond, Virginia, she cites no documentary evidence to support those connections. She claims John Dewe, d. 1678, Isle of Wight County, was the son of the Colonel; this connection is not supported by the text of the will, as John Dewe's father is referred to, but not named.
The Colonel received no head rights for anyone with the Dew surname. It is not reasonable that members of his family would have immigrated to Virginia without head rights being granted. The whole purpose of immigration was to acquire land. If you have based your Dew family genealogical research on this book, it is highly likely you have the wrong ancestors."

Census of 1790, Edgecombe County, North Carolina
Reuben Dew appeared in this census with two sons over 16, three daughters, and five slaves.
South Carolina archives contain several land transaction for Reubin Dew. The earliest dates from 1784, transcribed from microfilm by Sarah Mae Dew (1), as follows:
"I have caused to be admeasured and laid out unto Reubin Dew a tract of land, containing two hundred acres, situated in the District of George town, on the N. E. Side of the Bigg [Big] Peedee and hath such form and marks, butting and bounding as the above plat represents. Certified for the twenty eighth Day of July, 1784. Signed John Dozer, D.S. Epraim Mitchell, Surveyor-General."
The plat indicated tree markings and placement around the property, referencing a maple on a side of Back Gum Swamp, small pine trees, a hickory marked 3X, a sweet gum tree, a large pine tree, stakes marked 3X, a black gum tree, a red oak tree, and a corner by a post oak tree.
South Carolina archives document five additional land transactions for Reubin Dew, as follows:
- 244 acres surveyed Apr. 2, 1788, in the District of Georgetown on the W side of Reedy Creek, bounded by a line running ME L NW(?) by land granted to John Hamilton, NW and NE by land granted on or near Michael Clackers, and on the other side by vacant land.
- 341 acres surveyed on November 22, 1790, situated on the SW side of the Little Peedee, on the west side of Reedy Creek, and hat such shape and form and marks as the above plat, which lists lines running SWNW and SE by Reubin Dew's land, and lines running SWNW and SE by land surveyed for Joseph Hays, SE and SW by land surveyed for Jermiah and James Brown, and NE by lines of the Estate of James Batchellors.
- 500 Acres survey for him the 1st day of December, 1795, situated in Georgetown on Terrel Bay, bounded by line running NW by land granted to Anthony Sweet and Boluntine Rowell, and on the other side by vacant land.
- 130 acres surveyed October 17, 1807, situated in Charleston District on Fitch Branch, waters of the Ashesoo River or bay waters of Island Creek, bounded on the South by John Loisey's land, and to the east by Thomas Dillion's land, on the West, on or near Mrs. Conaly's land.
- 93 acres surveyed December 21, 1813, situated in the Charleston District on Pinney Creek, and waters of ___ Jones bounded by a line running SE and NE by Frances Bullon's land, SE by James Bruton's land, and SW by M. Cuttel's land.
Sarah Mae Dew, from her research on the Dew family in Virginia and the Carolinas, has published this observation about literacy education: (1)
"...it is apparent that even though many of the early Dew heads of families had accumulated much land, and were held in high esteem in their communities, many of them were illiterate... the education of the first several generations was left to the initiative of each family...
"Many young people came to maturity without knowledge of how to read and write. The latter was particularly true of girls in the household. Records show that the man or father who headed the household knew how to write, but the mother and wife had to make her mark."

Overview provided by Sarah Mae Dew, 1988 (1)
"Harry Lee Dew was engaged in the mercantile business for a number of years. He worked for various companies and stores, and then had his own business in Parkdale, Ashley County, Arkansas. He and his family moved to Arkadelphia, Arkansas, in 1929. (His obituary states that the date was 1927; but family members state that the date should have read 1929.) Some years later he and his son-in-law were in business together in the Dew-Orr Department Store in Arkadelphia.
"After graduating from high school, Harry Lee Dew (along with Ed Lawson, a brother of Glady Lawson Dew, who was the wife of Carroll Wood Dew, a first cousin of Harry Lee Dew) left Hamburg [Arkansas] in the early 1900's and went to Houston, Texas to attend a business school.
"While in Houston he became acquinted with his Dew cousins in Missouri City, Texas, a small town just south of Houston. Ruth Dew Lalley (the only living child of Thomas Tristram dew, a brother of John C. Dew, who was the grandfather of Harry Lee Dew) recalled that Harry Dew and Ed Lawson were frequent visitors to the Dew Plantation in Missouri City. She told told that the family there in Texas enjoyed very much having their Arkansas Cousin and his friend visit them."

Elizabeth was graduated in 1936 from Barnard College, Columbia University, where she majored in chemistry. She remained highly active with Barnard College, serving as the Class President for the 1966–1971 term.
Following her time at Barnard, Elizabeth enrolled in the Department of Library Science at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Her presence in the program is noted in the 1943 "Alumni Notes" for the University of Michigan Department of Library Science. The program Elizabeth completed was part of what is now the University of Michigan School of Information (UMSI).

Transcript of article from the Aug. 3, 1932, issue of the Arkansas Gazette, Little Rock, Arkansas
"Miss Elizabeth Dew of Arkadelphia, awarded a four-year Garvin scholarship in any college or university of her choice and $2,000.00 for expenses when she won first place in the American Chemical Society National Essay Context, announced today that her preference is Barnard College, Columbia University, New York City, which she will enter early in the fall.
"Barnard College is not easy to enter, an additional examination being required of applicants, regardless of the standing of the high school, so Miss Dew took the examination recently in little Rock, and not only passed but made such satisfactory marks that she qualified for a $400.00 cash prize, to be used in connection with her expenses in college.
"Miss Dew took the Barnard examination in Trigonometry, English, Chemistry and French and was also required to take an intelligence test. Miss Dew won her scholarship on her essay entitled, 'Chemistry and Its Relation to Music and Art.'
"In Barnard she will major in chemistry. But she was only a junior in high school here and had to complete her course, which she did last May, sharing Valedictorian honors with Miss Juanita McMillan. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.L. Dew is and 16."

The 1930 Federal census indicates the James Johnson household, with Mary, in Columbus, Georgia. The 1940 census notes this Johnson household as being in Military District 921, Muskogee County, Georgia. In 1941, at the time of James Johnson's death, the couple lived at 2320 Seventeenth Avenue, in Columbus, Georgia. At some point after 1943, Mary eventually returned to Arkansas, where she lived until her death in 1975.
The most likely geographical "bridge" between James Johnson and Mary is Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Dr. Johnson, as a physician, would have been well aware of the therapeutic reputation of the Arkansas thermal baths. It was common for wealthy professionals and doctors from the Southeast (like Georgia) to travel to Hot Springs for vacations or medical conventions. Mary, as the widow of a prominent Judge, moved in the social circles that frequented these resorts.
Another theory focuses on the Dew's deep roots across the Southeast.
Many branches of the Dew and Hunter families (Mary's maiden and middle names) migrated between North Carolina, Georgia, and Arkansas. Mary may have had cousins (undocumented) living in the Columbus, Georgia, area. In the years following Judge Oslin's death in 1928, it would have been typical for a widow to visit or stay with extended family. A social introduction through family friends or local medical circles in Columbus is a strong possibility, especially given Dr. Johnson's standing in the Muscogee County medical community.
Family letters infer that Mary Hunter Dew Johnson volunteered at the U.S.O. in Columbus, Georgia, in 1943; this facility was a home away from home for many soldiers being trained at the nearby Fort Benning. This is how Herman Orr, while stationed at that fort in 1943, met Mary Hunter Dew Johnson.

Thomas Allen (Buddy) Dew (Dr) b. Aug. 5, 1942, d. Nov. 11, 2018
"Thomas Allen Dew died suddenly, Nov. 11, 2018, aged 76. A proud native of Warren, Ark., Tom was known for his energy, optimism, progressive politics, service to others and devotion to family — and, not to be forgotten, his repertoire of stories. A graduate of the University of Arkansas School of Medicine, he trained at Barnes Hospital/Washington University, specializing in pulmonary disease. In all, he practiced medicine for 42 years, largely at St. Luke's Hospital. His two years in the U.S. Army Medical Corps included a tour of duty in Vietnam, where he earned the Bronze Star and Soldier's Medal. With his analytical mind, he enjoyed a good debate and was never timid about offering an opinion. As much as he loved his patients and the practice of medicine, he also enjoyed his retirement, with many happy hours spent traveling or at the U. City Commons and the Ruth Park Golf Course.
"His community service included tenures as president of the boards of the English Language School (serving refugees and immigrants) and St. Andrew's Episcopal-Presbyterian Foundation. He served on the board of the Illinois Thoroughbred Breeders & Owners Foundation. And, most recently, he has been a devoted member of the board of Blackburn College in Carlinville, Ill., one of the seven work colleges in the U.S.
"Survivors include Bettye, his wife of 54 years; his daughters Laura (Paul Revilla) and Allison (Cameron Sojan); his sisters, Jo Ann Reichen and Gingy (John) Cuthbertson; his brother Robert (Marci); his grandsons Patrick and Graham Revilla; his step-grandchildren, Zach, Lucy and Poppy Sojan; many nieces and nephews, and cherished friends."
