Person:John Hewlett (3)

A. Maitland says that John and Sarah had 12 children but does not name them.

From the Jones Family book, pg 113: "John Hewlett, a large landholder at East Woods (now Woodbury), in the town of Oyster Bay, near the Suffolk co. line, was a justice of the peace, and, having sworn allegiance to the King, and being forty-five years of age, refused to take arms on either side. This was treated by the supporters of Congress as excusable, and he was not harshly dealt with, now were the Quakers, which some members of the family joined. There were many Quakers in the town located between the Rayalists on the west, and the supporters of Congress on the east. . . The mother of the justice being a Jackson, he doubtless was befriended by that large family."
