He was born in Maryland, 9th December. 1745. After studying Humanities, at St Omer's College, he entered the Novitiate of the Society, at Ghent, 31st of October, 1766. The year after the suppression of the Order, viz. in July. 1774, he was sent to the Preston Mission, as assistant to the Rev. John Jenison, and there he continued for nine years. In 1783, he removed to Eccleston Hall, where he was chaplain for three years. In 1787 he was appointed to the charge of the faithful, at Scholes, near Prescott, vice F. Peter Westby, and this mission so rapidly improved under his zealous auspices, as to justify him to commence the erection of a spacious chapel, and a convenient house for the incumbent. This respectable establishment retains the name of Portico, which was originally assigned it by the late Rev. Wm. Meynell, from the circumstance of the Colonnade at the Chapel entrance. This Chapel was opened for public worship in May, 1790. F. Sewall retired from this laborious mission, to Stonyhurst College, at Michaelmas, 1808, and rendered much valuable service to that community. On the death of Rev. Charles Plowden, in the summer of 1821, F. Sewell succeeded to the office of Provincial; and his government was characterised by prudence and decision of purpose, and by a spirit of improving chapels. Resigning his office in February, 1826, he took charge of the little College, at Hodder Place, for some time; and then proceeded to Worcester, to assist his highly valued friend, the Rev. Joseph Tristram; and had the comfort of seeing the New, large, and handsome Chapel of that city, opened with solemnity, on the 16th of July, 1829.
F. Sewall was a man of regular and retired habits, much given to prayer and mortification: yet always cheerful and obliging. The progress and prosperity of our holy Religion was the object nearest and dearest to his heart; and indeed he had great cause to rejoice and exult in the Lord, especially when he witnessed the wonderful propagation of the Catholic Faith in his native land. When the united States of America were subject to the English Domination, the very exercise of the Catholic Religion was degraded, proscribed and persecuted; but no sooner had these States established their independence of the mother country, than they proclaimed universal liberty of conscience, and afforded Religion itself Fair play. F. Sewall survived to behold Baltimore erected into a Metropolitan See with eleven Suffragan Bishopricks. I have heard him say, that he remembered the time, when the Catholics had not even a private room in Baltimore, where they were suffered to assemble for prayer; and he lived to see it embellished with a noble Catholic Cathedral, and seven Catholic Parish Churches, with Bells inviting the numerous faithful to the celebration of their Religious Rites ! ! The death of F. Sewall, was like his life, most edifying to men, honourable to religion and precious in the sight of God. He calmly surrendered his soul to its Creator, on the 14th of March, 1834, in the 89th year of his age; and his remains were deposited in the Cemetery, adjoining the Worcester Chapel.
F. Sewall in 1822, had printed at Liverpool, in an Octavo Volume of 526 pages. "Select Lives of Saints from the work of the Reverend Alban Butler." It is a very judicious selection. Catholic Magazine, of April, 1834 reprinted in Collections towards illustrating the Biography of the Scotch, English, and Irish Members, S.J., Exeter, 1838.

Noah Amos, the youngest, who served in the One Hundredth Pennsylvania Regiment of Volunteers, known as Roundheads, in the war of the Rebellion, was wounded in 1862 in a charge on James Island, South Carolina, and again on June 2, 1864, in the battle of Cold Harbor, Virginia, being shot in the right breast, the ball following the marrow of the right arm to the elbow, necessitating an amputation of the arm at the shoulder joint. He lived until 1904, when he died of pneumonia.⁷

Noah A. Sewall died Saturday afternoon at his home near New Wilmington, aged about 64 years. Mr. Sewall served through the Civil War and lost his right arm in battle at Cold Harbor. He was in Company B of the Round-heads. A member of United Presbyterian Church he was a man of kindly disposition. which endeared him to his family and many friends. He was a Republican in politics, and an Odd Fellow, in which order he took great interest. Mr. Sewall’s first wife was Adaline Kuhn, who died nearly 20 years ago. To them were born the following children: Perry and James, living near home; David, now at home; Ivah widow of Frank Holibaugh, residing in New Castle: Myrtle, wife of Frank Adams, Mantua. O; Minnie, wife of Clarence Clump, of Rochester; Charles, who was killed in Conway railroad yards three years ago, by the wreck of his engine. Some years after the death of his first wife, Mr. Sewall married Ella Gaines, who survives him.⁸
