Daniel T. Jewett

Daniel Tarbox Jewett (September 14, 1807 – October 7, 1906) was a United States senator from Missouri in 1870 and 1871.

From 1850 to 1853 he engaged with his brother in operating a steamboat line upon the Chagres River, Isthmus of Panama.

He moved to California and engaged in gold mining for two years, after which he returned to Bangor and practiced law.

Jewett was appointed as a Republican to the U.S. Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Charles D. Drake and served from December 19, 1870, to January 20, 1871, when a successor was elected.

He declined to be a candidate for election to the Senate to fill this vacancy and resumed the practice of law.
